Full time
Happy enough with that, especially given the Pats result.
If someone had said to me at the start of the season we'd be challenging for second I'd have taken it in a flash after the disaster of last season. Looking forward to next season already, time to convert too many drawn games into winners.
Difference is yous had to buy the league this year, just waiting for yous to do another shels,Quote:

whether we "do a Shels" or not remains to be seen but i, for one, am going to enjoy this amazing display of utter dominance while it lasts.
good to see that jealousy remains alive and kicking. :D
jealousy wouldnt say that stu, just waiting for it to go tits up for yous, then you can thank Fenlon for putting yous in the mess. 1 cup/league in 7 years is a good record to talk aboutQuote:

Would have to agree, plus the defensive record is something else & big Ken not even figuring for most of it.
if it goes tits up at Bohemians then i dont think Fenlon will have been the man to blame. He has stayed within his budget and released a rake of players this year in order to bring in a few. Fact is he is achieving this dominance with mostly Connors purchases. Byrne is the only player he personally has brought in on a huge wage. Most of the other big contracts were negotiated by Connor.
Say what you like but i dont feel that Fenlon is the man to blame.
FFS, whatever the ins oand outs of our finances, Fenlon didn't put us in to it. Our wage bill this year will probably be lower than under Connor. With nearly the same group of players, he's turned Connor's team into champions - Oman, Brennan, Byrne and Cronin were the only new players at the start of the year, and Byrne has been peripheral. Fitness and focus has been the difference. I would hazard a guess that we have the 3rd highest wage bill in the league (4th until 2 weeks ago); if money could buy it, then Pat's would be walking it, and Drogheda would be second, with us a distant 3rd like last year.Quote:

as i recall shels didnt pay ther players last time they won the league:D
What was O.Brien sent off for?Seems kinda early so was probaly a straight red yes?What for?
Two- footed lunge at Anto Murphy - to be fair, anyone else but the drama queen would probably have settled for a yellow - wasn't like he was in on goal or anything.Quote:

Aside from that, a complete performance andgod knows how I'll turn up for work tomorrow! :o
McChrystals horror tackle on Behan was well worthy of a straight red, absolutely appaling, Denis had a number of stitches to his leg and is doubtful for SaturdayQuote:

I think so.
You are unfair to the League. perhaps the best way is seeing what the Pre-season predictions were. These included Drogheda Utd. being the team to beat and unlikely anyone would catch them.Quote:

Every club have attempted to take something from a Bohs game, very few have succeeded.
Boo hoo.Quote:
