Saw last 30mins, Bohs were poor & IMO will struggle this season into mid table position.
In fairness pete, Bohs played some nice stuff in the first half.Quote:

Maybe George will do his homework in advance in future?
Yeah I know, and in the first half, he called Jason McGuinness, Paul Caffrey for about 5 minutes before Dolan corrected him :rolleyes:Quote:

He also referred to Bohs as Shamrock Rovers at least twice.Quote:

Worst man on the pitch: The referee. :D
Spot on. Foley and McGuinness (:confused: ) should have been sent off in the last minute for headbutting. He was standing right in front of it and everything :eek: There wasnt that much contact but if you clash heads, your off.Quote:

Watched the match . Entertaining if not exactly high quality. Seemed to be a reasonable sized crowd at it.
As regards the question posed by the poster immediately before me:
Yes the chants were clearly audible on the TV coverage. Not that is not common at matches down here. I think it was because of the Rangers connection more so than Linfield.
The Glasgow Blues are perceived as being somehow for more reprehensible.
Which is actually accurate as the Windsor Park based club have a much better track record on matters of that nature than the one from Govan.
As regards the match on Tuesday, Shelbourne is one of the better clubs and does not have a major element of that nature. I am not sure that some neutrals may not be in the crowd some of whom may have been at tonight's game. I don't condone that sort of chanting on either side of the border.
But when one of your recent club directors is/was an ex UVF/LVF guy someone , in this case wrongly in my view, human nature being what it is, is going to say something at Tolka Park surely ?
It was because of his Rangers past rather than his Linfield past I'd imagine. Pretty ridiculous for people to carry on like that. Also somewhat ironic given that Rovers fans have given Bohs similar abuse in the past for having their origins in a Protestant working mens club AFAIK. Been a while since I've heard anything of this nature at an eircom League game- even the tongue-in-cheek "whats it like to have a Queen" to the Derry fans hasn't been sung in a while at the Cross. Anyway, don't worry about Shels, they don't have any fans, so you wouldn't hear anything like this :D :DQuote:

nope, i can assure you.....the man in question used to have links but hes older now and i think hes wised up! hes a nice bloke and a commited Ports fan so i can assure you that nothing will be said. The same chap goes to Cliftonville and has been down south for a couple of friendlies and always seems to get on well with opposition clubs so i expect no trouble whatsoever!Quote:

your only chance of a cracking atmosphere at Shels is if you make it yourself :D :D 3 men and a dog can't make that much noiseQuote:

:D hopefully some neutrals come and some par-time supporters come out of the wood work, but im fairly sure that we will make a cracking atmosphere!
got my red wig, red and white rolls to throw on pitch, flag to be draped down my back, face paints, BIG flag to be hung up and our acustomed drum so im sure you will notice me if you go :D
CUMON THE PORTS!!!!
It was some clearance by Heary (i think) off the goal line, how he didnt head that into his own net i'll never know.
That Jimmy Aggrey (sp?) the new defender. Did anyone else think his heading was awfull for a tall man? Also thought his postioning was terrible for alot of the corners.
Anyone else agree?

Correct. By the end we were singing "Lee Feeney, he's our hun, he hates Bohs" :DQuote:

Do you not tire of the same gags every season?
There was 2,500 people at Tolka on Wednesday not many of them were UCD fans. Its also true we were ranked 3rd out of the 22 clubs last year for crowds (not including Europe)... but dont let that stop you.
And there wont be any trouble from Shels fans on Tuesday. Only problem may be non-shels fans who go along looking for trouble but I cant see them being too bothered really.
