Any players to look out for who may have international prospects???

Should be a good laugh anyway, hope I can find a stream or something

Christiano Ring might have prospects with Faughs.

It seems lots of people on here will find any reason to slag us off on this forum. How in the name of jaysus did you come up with that one? ffs the most recent transfer news in the sticky thread is about a player moving on loan from Nottm Forest to Burton Albion. Oh the flashing lights and glamour... transfers from Sligo to Bohs usually aren't discussed on here because they're discussed in the LOI forum. And we're actually free to post on different forums of foot.ie (reading the LOI sometimes you'd think they were all banned from posting here and vice versa).

I don't really see the point of this thread in this forum when people should be watching Bohs on Wednesday night if they want to see potential international players in a competitive match. But I'll leave it open for a little bit after my rant and since the match is available for the many Irish people living in Britain.

Can someone please tell me why the hell people are booing Ronaldo.I honestly cant believe the mentality of some people at times. The game is hyped up to the last and the stadium gets sold out, so its a chance for Rovers to hopefully put in a bit of a decent performance and raise the profile of the League of Ireland a little bit.... so why the hell are people going to the game just to boo a player??? It became fashonable in England to boo him after he got Rooney sent off when playing against England, what the hell has that got to do with Irish fans?

**tricky_colour** · 20/07/2009, 7:52 PM

0:0 at half time, Real look pretty ordinary.

Fair enough, just does my head in with people on internet forums slagging Ireland supporters off.

Maguire playing well anyway. Great tackle on Raul.

Wouldn't be surprised if the people booing are disgruntled Man United fans (agree it's pretty embarrassing).

he got Sives booked tonight?

**eirebhoy** · 20/07/2009, 8:09 PM

Ronaldo just gets booed for being Ronaldo tbh.

**tricky_colour** · 20/07/2009, 8:57 PM

1:0 to Real in the end, Shamrock got caught out pushing forward, you could see the goal coming a mile off, very similar to a couple of the goals Ireland have conceded recently.
Pretty unlucky really, they deserved a draw.

**ofjames** · 20/07/2009, 9:06 PM

all desie bakers fault. fluffed two great chances then gave the ball away to heinze cheaply for the goal

thats what you get for wearing fancy different coloured florescent boots

I think some Rovers fans aspire to be English Football hooligans, except for the English bit probably.

To be fair, they use the term "Ultra's" to describe themselves, so they probably look to Italy for guidance.

Ah Ronaldo was booed last year in Switzerland/Austria. He looks like someone everyone loves to hate. I hardly ever watch Manchester United in CL but I reckon he got booed in most away grounds too.

spot on i'd say...first time in a league of Ireland ground for most of them i'd say....if i was there i'd have much preferred to boo Dessie Baker the annoying little b*ll*x!!

**passinginterest** · 20/07/2009, 10:00 PM

In fairness a good majority of the crowd seemed to be at least semi league of Ireland fans, Ronaldo got booed because he's Ronaldo, it was a good atmosphere and hopefully it opened a few eyes to the potential of the League of Ireland.
