I'll have to wait and see the various tackles and stuff then.
I said in my post that much of the team - Brennan, Fenn, Rossi - underperformed today; it wasn't a great display by us by any means; on form, we're way ahead of anyone else, although Derry alone seem to know how to play against it. BTW, thought O'Donnell was our MOTM - guy never gets enough credit, but he was the best central midfielder there today, much more reliable than the much fancied Deegan.
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
Have to agree, I thought Bohs best 3 were Kalunos, Murphy and O'Donnell.
O'Donnell was superb in front of the Bohs back 4. Deegan never showed up.
Great Cup Final, good advert for League and well done to Pat Fenlon & Stephen Kenny two excellent young Managers in the league.
Well done to the Derry fans for travelling and giving their team tremendous support.
Pity there had to be a loser!
Thats our problem we let refs walk over us, about time we stood up to them and the fai for being incompetent. Ne Bohs fault for choosing the ref, they won the cup fair and square but its the people who appoint these idiots week in week out who just are not good enough for the task.
Johnny Logan?! So gay it hurts...
Just seen the penalty award on the news and dont know why anyone says it was dodgy decision, the guy practically caught the ball. Stone wall penalty.
Yeah man, they call gambling a disease, but it's the only disease where you can win a bunch of money.
Very enjoyable final, the ref was a joke though. How noone was sent off is beyond me!
Funny hearing Heary talking about "we" when referring to Shels losing the league cup final to Derry a couple of years ago
When we needed to dig in and get a result we did. In other games we simply passed teams off the park. I think this criticism is total unjustified. We gave Cork a lesson in football in the first 45 minutes last week and there is plenty of other times when we played very good football but never got credit for it.
I haven't seen this Bohs your talking about.
Was the performance today a typical performance?

Today's performance wasnt typical. Our cup semi final was a typical performance. Really good in one half, fairly average in the other. We've not really put in too many 90 minute performances of high quality but the standard for the most part was much better then today's performance.
We scored the most goals, conceded he fewest, won the most games and set a new points record. We've also scored some of the best goals I have ever seen in the 24 years Ive been going to games. Our 2nd goal against Cork last week was an 11/12 pass move which saw the ball travel about 200 yards before Brennan scored. Probably the best team goal I have ever witnessed in person.
Of all the EL football I have watched on TV this year, Bohs were up there when it comes to entertainment value. Given how our season has gone, I think the players deserve far more credit then they are getting.
