Derry 0-1 Drogheda
Bohs 3-0 Harps

Both results.

**Bohemian1890** · 19/09/2008, 10:11 PM

Harps were good in the first half and were the better team and they will be staying up IMO.

How many tap in's has your team missed this season?

Jorgensen missed an open goal from 3 yards out tonight.

Keane out-muscled the wing-back out and ran towards goal, played the ball across the 6 yard box to Jorgensen(keeper left stranded at the post) who only had to touch the ball, is un-usual fashion to these sort of misses that end up going over the bar or sliced wide he did'nt even hit the ball and it passed through his legs and continued towards the other side of the pitch

That is at least the 4th sitter we've missed this season, all coming at crucial times in games!!

He should have scored aswell prior to Rovers goal, was put through on goal to the side and instead of bringing it in, he hit it first time and put it right at the keeper.

A 30sec scramble in the Rovers goalmouth soon after provided a lot of drama, Rovers could'nt clear the ball and several attempts came close to ending it in the net which accumulated with Fitzy(CB) having a poke shot deflected onto the post, and following on from this seasons trend Rovers went down and scored from a corner.

Pulled one back and had several chances to win the game, Jorgensen found himself put through on goal a second time and yet again choose to hit early instead of taking on the keeper and his effort hit the post, was another 2/3 half chances and a peno' shout in the last 10secs!!. Same old story, even with all the pressure we still could'nt take the game!!

I think i have highlighted your problem

. I think that may also be the reason Bohs have not missed tap ins

Nonsense. A 3-0 scoreline doesn't lie. I've listened to too much of this RTE 'Bohs were flattered' nonsense all season.

Harps were superb in spots in the first half, because we were asleep. Then Fenn came on, we woke up, camped in their half, and, absolutely pulverised 'em.

What was the attendance there like? I heard "a packed Oriel" used in a few reports, but no figures.

**pineapple stu** · 20/09/2008, 1:50 AM

Horrendous game at the Bowl. Sligo got a bizarre early penalty and parked the bus in front of the goal thereafter. The second half, they hardly came out of their own box except to chase long hoofs. Very poor side. We're screwed though.

**pineapple stu** · 20/09/2008, 1:58 AM

I've always said Paul Cook has had Sligo playing great stuff. Last night was pathetic though. No ambition for the second 45 in the slightest.

We have already copped onto that. Hopefully Kenna will soon as well

I have to agree with you there. Thought we shaded it in the first half, but once all our subs came on we just sat back. I think Cook is a good motivator, but he is not always as tactically aware as he should be.
Fair play to UCD though, they at least try to play good football. I was impressed by McFaul in midfield, he can pass the ball pretty well. Just a pity that (like us) they have no strikers.

Thats how you have to play to get a win in this league. Unfortunately. We've found that out the hard way in the past few weeks. Played brilliant stuff against bohs and Drogs and pats(wasn't at game but only heard reports) only to be faced by a team who parked the bus in front of their goal, and finnally got the decisions by the refs and lino's. It just shows how wrong the system is. The footballing side should be given the benefit of the doubt if you want good football to prosper in this league. And tonight just showed, good football doesn't win you games in this league.

I suppose Mahon got his tactics wrong. (always the bridesmaid.)

"....Mahon said: "We know what we have to do. We are going to go out and enjoy ourselves and see where we end up. Sligo are a good team who allow you to play the game, they don't have any negative tactics......"

We have Cork City next, what's the story with them? What do they usually do?
