Bohemians trophies in the 3 main domestic competitions since we joined the league in 1985...3 league titles and 2 FAI Cups.

Derry City trophies in the 3 main domestic competitions since were joined the league in 1985...2 league titles, 4 FAI Cups, 9 League Cups.

Minnows.

As I said, three league titles this decade. Only Shels have a better record in that respect. Tin pots don't count as silverware btw.

Not criticising you over support, criticising your blow-hard attitude to the fact you'll get a load of people wearing GAA style headbands who only go to big games, out waving flags for you at the cup final.

Also - the referee for the Final has been appointed - it's Anthony Buttimer

So, if you's had won the LC last season it wouldn't count as silverware

The people we'll bring to the F.A.I. cup final will actually pay to get in and not be given free tickets like the big club had to so it might look better on MNS when you's won your 5th trophy in 20 odd years

The kids go free is in place at most games and it only applies to the Shed end (Des Kelly Stand). Its not promoted properly so, at the game you refer to where we won our fourth trophy in seven years (and thats trophies that other clubs actually try to win) there was 100 or so there on that.

So Bohs subsidised buses to a final for a trophy you didn't want to win.......

That is just financial madness. Oh wait, it's Bohs

I'll have whatever the Rhyll directors are having.....

Does the Leinster Cup and President's Cup count as silverware as your website proudly boasts?

So well done on winning your 5th trophy in 29 years. If you's beat us you's will have drawn level on what you call major trophies.

BTW if you's are running subsidised buses to this years final again maybe you could pick me up in O' Connell St about 1pm.

Why don't you pop up to the Marquee in Dalyer. Buy a weekend entertainment ticket (price tbc) and you get transport to the RDS thrown in.

On counting the Presidents Cup and the Leinster Senior cup, of course they are going to be on your honours roll but they aren't something we boast about. As for caring about the LC last year, of course once we got to the final we wanted to win but up until that most of us couldn't have cared less. We played a virtual reserve side against you this year ffs!

!

Don't think I'll bother. You's will all be getting your excuse's in early now with Mc Guinness being suspended for the final apparently

"Aye but we didn't have Mc Guinness on" I can hear it already

Sweet Jaysus - Bohs even need to provide transport across Dublin now to get any sort of support !!

The club must be down as 'registered carers' for a large number of your fans, the way they have to hold your hands to get yous anywhere.....

**Candystripe** · 07/11/2008, 3:00 PM

So with the s***e hitting the fan today who will now be paying for the subsidised buses?

Will Bohs still be about to play the final?

In 2006 it was 12,000 apparently!

Imo the RDs is a good ground to have the final,Croke park would be too big and it has to be in Dublin so

Probably nearer the 10,000 mark for this one as Bohs wouldn't play as atractive football as Pats did then.

I have a feeling there may be more nuetrals at the game this year though!

I think you may be way off the mark their candystripe with your 10k fans. I think 5 6k will make the journey down if that. I would be questioning those fans who go down and who dont go to the brandywell every friday nite were are they then to supoort the club. They should be giving the money at home to the club instead of just going to the final

Cup Final attracting a bigger crowd than every day ordinary games shocker !

Have you just started following football or something Flexy ?

Haven't you heard of 'human nature' either....?

Personally I think the upper-end of our expectations would be for 7,000 City fans.

Agree on the neutrals though. It's a much more interesting draw this year. If the weather holds out there should be a good 1,000 or more of them there.

I expect 5-6,000 from Bohs, and a total crowd of up to 15,000.

Are you for real. There had to be over 1000 kids there that night. They were queued up outside the ground with their teachers, and they were all in the main stand.

No you didn't. That was just being used as an excuse for the hammering you got. You never could take your oil.
