Actually, gufct is implying there that Rovers and Bohs' budgets are the same (which is pretty certainly not true) and that Sligo's budget is 3/4s of both (which cannot possibly be true). Bohs' budget is about E40k a week, so he's implying that Sligo's is E30k a week whereas poor little Galway's is E10k a week. I think it's clear he's talking nonsense.

Was at the Galway-Mervue game. Galway were completely outplayed second half. I know it was mainly trialists but I was expecting them to be better than that.

A rough estimate at our budget would be E3k a week

**pineapple stu** · 10/02/2010, 3:24 PM

Could well believe that. It shows gufct is making up numbers to suit himself again. No way are Bohs on E12k a week.

**SkStu** · 10/02/2010, 3:30 PM

his lack of accuracy on the exact figures doesnt make his point any less valid... no need for the sniping.

**pineapple stu** · 10/02/2010, 3:41 PM

gufct has a habit of making up numbers to "prove" points in a condescending way, and I think it's fair to challenge him on that.

Also, he wasn't making a point; a comparison between Galway and Bohs' budgets is irrelevant when talking about them losing a friendly to Mervue.

no, i thought yaz were very poor imo, altho you cant really read into it this early.
game wasnt the best, we created a few chances in first half, but they died down abit, until coughlan came on.
not many town fans came down i dont think, 3 or 4 were in the pub anyway

did anyone hear anything about what happened at the Rovers and Shels game the other night??

**passinginterest** · 11/02/2010, 9:00 AM

Indo report today: http://www.independent.ie/national-n...t-2058042.html

From earlier reports it sounded like innocent Shels fans being ambushed but this puts another spin on it.

Heaven forbid someone take you to task for repeatedly talking nonsense.

i dont think thats the full story there, i heard other things happend, i heard last night, that 2 separate shels fans were set upon by some rovers fans and got a hiding as well, i think then someone else tried to help them and he got a worse hiding than the 2 youngfellas

**pineapple stu** · 11/02/2010, 9:21 AM

Given how these stories always (and I mean always) run on here, can we leave out hearsay and either discuss facts or don't discuss it at all?

**FrOsTy** · 11/02/2010, 10:10 AM

We played Cork Oscar Traynor last night beating them 3-0. Close range finish from Timmy Purcell from a Vinny Sullivan cross. Vinny Sullivan then doubled the lead with a fantastic cross goal volley into the top corner from 25 yards. Willy John Kiely was then fouled in the box and he picked himself home to hammer home the peno.

Liam Kearney and Timmy Purcell were impressive. We look like were short a goalscorer and a centre half.

I'm new to this forum and I will be visiting Dublin for the first time Feb 28 - Mar 4. I was hoping to find a match of any level to watch. I understand that the premiere league will begin right after I leave, so my timing was not good for this visit. Can anyone tell me when and where there might be some matches to attend?

Derry City beat Institute 3-0 last night away from home.

A great deal of lovely football was played from the new look young Derry players.

Farren,Molloy,Deery,Doherty,Parkhouse and McLean didn't play.

About 300-400 Derry fans attended.
