The Big Fat European Latest Thread

But sure the nature of sport is that for every triumph there is, there's a hard luck story to match it. Shels' win over Hajduk, for example, was a hard luck story for Hajduk.

You make your own luck in sport. In particular, you don't sit back playing for a draw against a poor enough team.

Correct, but we have had far too many.

[Umberside]

I hate to say it but Bohs are now going to be in serious financial difficulty. There's no where else for money to come from and they'll end up the same as Drogheda.

It's not a gut feeling, I know from experience what this result means.

And the award for "Understatement of the year" goes to...........

RBS were there for the beating. Cant help but feel Nutsy's tactics cost Bohs in the end.

Derry V IFK Goteborg springs to mind when even at 1-0 up we went at them and scored.

I'd wonder what reward you'd get then. "Most narrow minded LOI fan of the year"?

Shocking that in the same week that a league game is re-arranged to accomodate a friendly but that none of our tems competing in Europe are afforded that privilage.

Boo f*cking hoo.

Why can't people accept that not everyone in Ireland wanted Bohs to win?

I would like to challenge for this title.

Delighted. A loss for Bohs, a loss for the FAI, a loss for John Delaney

FTA.

That old cliche - "it's a results game"; hero if you win, culprit if you lose.

This.

Blame Rossiter, blame Fenlon, the FAI(which would be my first port of call over their fixturing), blame the groundsman. It don't matter, Bohs were 4 minutes from the next round and I for one am gutted for them. Gutted for what this could mean to their club and for what it could have done for the league.
It's my opinion that we all should support LOI clubs in Europe for the sake of the league and it's status and not take on, dare I say, a british attitude by enjoying seeing a team in the same league as themselves get beat by a foreign club just for laughs. Enjoy beating them yourselves but not support Salzburg or Helsingborg or anyone else to do it.
Best of luck Bohs for the rest of the season and best of luck to Pat's and Derry as well, hope you do yourselves, the league and the country proud.

[Partizan]

Its Div 1 time for Bohs.

when you trade recklessly and send money you dont have, prepare to accept the consequences.

Really, i have very little sympathy.

I always cheered on the LOI teams in Europe. Even went to some of the games. But am really glad they lost and are in trouble now. This big club, we are invincible nonsense when they are obviously screwed means they deserve to be brought back to reality.

IThis big club, we are invincible nonsense when they are obviously screwed

This is what annoyed most people. I was torn over whether or not to support them in this tie. I decided to support them, because I love the league more than I hate them.

Youse are all very sensitive is all I can say....

'The Big Club' stuff is, and always was, a joke.
The 'We are invincible' chant last season was pretty much a statement of fact. You'd have done it too.

[misterk]

Fenlon needs to stop going nuts there at the end at the Salzburg manager.

I was at the game and didn't see this, what did Fenlon do? I saw Liam O'Brien and Stevens square up alright.

[hoops1]

Not if we were up sh1t creek.

I cheered you guys on against Madrid the other night, hoped you would get the draw you deserved but anyway back to the issue...
We all know the rivalry you have with Bohs and the likes and I'm sure few Bohs fans were shedding tears when you were relegated and in trouble yourselves but to be in financial ruin and on the edge of the unknown is the same as bringing them back to reality is a bit harsh, don't you think?

Find yourself a copy of their latest accounts. Shouldn't be too hard. Go through them and come back and tell me they havent asked for it.
