Fully deserved to go ahead but thought we controlled it pretty much after that. You’d nearly feel sorry for Hoban. He put in a hell of a shift.Originally Posted by Nesta99
From our side great to have McCourt and Bolger back in the last few games but Saturday is going to be very tough with Shams well rested but at least we’ll have caught with our fixture backlog and hopefully all the games Bohs have to catch up will play against them.
All the wild Bill stuff is delusional on his part but he doesnt even know the basics of motivating players.
Everyone knows the goalkeeping situation at Dundalk but as the Chairman you cant be saying "we are trying to improve it" as that is just telling Abibi the Chairman agrees you are crap. Solve the problem first.
Rovers will be rested for the game against Sligo on Saturday but 5 days should be enough for Sligo to recover from last night.
Its a big one for both clubs, chance for Rovers to go 6 clear with a game in hand over Pats which makes the Pats game one we dont have to win but they do.
Also a chance for Sligo with a win to drag themselves back into the title race if Pats were to beat us next week.
The right or wrong combination of results could have Rovers 9 clear with a game in hand or level on points with Pats (with a game in hand) and two ahead of Sligo. ...with Bohs 7 off the pace with 9 games to go..........i'll be happy with the 9 ahead with a game in hand
Yates is injured! Eh yeah lol. and yeah I'm sure the keepers will be full of confidence reading that comment. VP cant be happy with it as how do you do anything with Abibi if needed. I suspected sticking with Abibi so much was Bill's influence and trying to justify the signing but feck knows. Will be very strange if he is still played ahead of Cherrie if Yates is still out. Anyway Dundalk FC is still providing some entertainment if not currently for the swashbuckling football of the last 7 or 8 years.This guy isn't far off Tommy No Bobs for quality of bull****!
You "hired" the two crap ones too. And where was Yates yesterday anyway? (Should I point out that there's a decent keeper with European experience playing for Laois GAA at the moment? A bit of forward planning and ye could be giving out about mid table instead)
Is he seriously blaming the people of Dundalk for poor recruitment because they are not creating a welcoming enough environment for his "Operation Brand Expansion" signings?
“Do I think the people have helped these kids we’ve brought in? Absolutely not. Think about it, these are kids who picked up their families or walked away from their families, gone to a strange country in which there has been nothing allowed. That’s not their fault, it’s not our fault and it’s not the Government’s fault but instead of trying to support them we’re berating them in the street.
“That makes no sense to me but I don’t see things the same way.”
A worthy effort Dundalk but he's no Pat O'Sullivan still.
Abibi's signing is one of the most bizarre signings ever. I can understand Zahibo, Jurkovskis, Nattestad, even the korean lad or the american kids, all of them have reasosn behind.
But Abibi? he is a guy with barely any experience, 8 games in Italian 3d tier, so not even a starter.
Two seasons in Albania, one in the second division!!! and the second one a mid table finish in the premier after promoting.
And prior to that a season in Eldense in Spain, a club where agents could pay for their players to play and moreover with several fixed games and hence scandals, specially known their game vs Barcelona B which finished 12-0. Where he only played 8 games and after the team was cleaned from the players that had previously fixed 5 matches.
I'm sure the Agents story to wild Bill was a little different to this account.
Apologies for jumping ahead in the fixtures, but any pats fans on here be able to enlighten us why tickets for the upcoming Rovers game in inchicore are not on general sale, but the 2 following games for pats are?
Are pats gonna sell out a game, for a change, or is it a case of just turning up on the night to get a ticket?
Thanks in advance.
Yes the game will sell out and it’s not going to general sale until as late as possible (if at all) to prevent away fans from buying tickets in the home end

Cheers for the info 2 Yr.
Was told by a Pat's guy that decision taken not to have away fan allocation for the Pat's v Rovers fixture., though difficult to prevent away fans if tickets go on public sale?
Is the old away area , where the shed was, completely closed?
No, the shed end is used by pats fans since crowds have come back after Covid because, as in most grounds, some parts of the main stand is blocked off for substitutes, and club officials

Thanks.
I wonder if banning away fans from high cost heavily policed fixtures is going to be cheaper and less hassle, while there is any reduced capacity?
Well I certainly wouldn't count on bohs getting any tickets for the next game in Tallaght anyway,although nothing to do with Covid restrictions.
Probably makes sense, you dont want to be outsung again in your home venue I suppose.
Mark McGinley and Joe Thompson both hit with 3 games bans from the game last Friday,exceptionally harsh considering some of the 1 game bans handed out recently….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
That is absolute BS. How on earth do the FAI give a one game ban to Kelly for punching someone and then 3 game bans to these lads
The BS appeals process is part of the problem these days as it appears to be random and unfair.
I seem to remember you guys slinking away quietly after being battered 2 -1
I would be amazed if Rovers allow any Bohs fans in for the next game in Tallaght after the way the team and officials were treated in Dalymount.
That will lead to retaliation in Dalymount so it could be a long time before that match has away fans
You can`t be referring to our 2-1 win, Leahy 99th minute? Let me thumb through the distant history books, the first game in Tallaght? Probably 50/60 got tickets that day. Happy that the Guards took pity and let us out first! Singing Build me up Buttercup to your PA trying to drown us out after a more recent 1 -0, is a clearer, more recent memory.I seem to remember you guys slinking away quietly after being battered 2 -1

Do you actually believe any of Bradley`s two week delayed " revelations", banned for throwing chewing gum, ffs! spitting by stewards!!! If any steward spat at anyone I will be straight down to Mountjoy GS to report them and I would expect them to be charged with assault. I will just check first to see whether anything of the sort reported by the away team to the ref or fourth official or the copious FAI officials present on the day? , eh no , nothing.
Some of the behaviour that day, misogynistic chants, pitch invasion, which Bohs have been quite rightly sanctioned over, is bad enough without making stuff up a couple of weeks after the event.
Anyway, If Rovers are happy to lose €15 k in away fan gate money for the next game, or for every game, fair play to them. Bohs will fill Dalymount on their own anyway
Well it was mentioned by the bohs commentators on the stream that something was happening in the first half with stewards behind the Rovers bench.
