According to the weekender alan keane is suspended and richie ryan is injured,which probably leaves us having to play camano again. Its unlikely danny will be moved back to centre half if ryan is unavailable. I was fairly optimistic about this game but im not so sure now. Would nearly prefer steve feeney to camano.
Is Feeney still at the club?
yeah he's injuredOriginally Posted by Dixie Dean
Turner did very well last time we up in Dalymount. Maybe move Danny back to CB, and put Raf in CM... Blinkhorn and Turner up front? I'd like to see Marshall given more of a chance than he has been given the last few weeks. We've beaten Bohs already this season, and were cheated out of the Semi's, no reason why we can't beat them on Friday.
Alan Kelly is ref, with it being on TV and all. Expect a slow game with plenty of stoppages.

also, expect him to give us nothing
are murphy and deegan suspended?
Would like to see Morrison play in centre midfield with Conor O Grady and Marshall on the right with Blinkhorn and Raf up front. Ventre could move back to the centre of defence with Peers. Bohs didnt look like champions at the showgrounds and may be there for the taking if we are positive enough and try to take the game to them.
i fear a bit of a backlash although i still think we can get something out of it. afaik deegan is suspended as he was sent off in the game v dundalk, murphys not suspended until the next league game.
id give camano another chance, he clearly won the ball looking at it again on friday night, and won most headers. some people gone OTT on his criticism.
they dont score many goals so hopefully we'll nick one and get something out of it
Couldn't agree with that. Bohs will be seriously up for this. Fenlon has to start turning things around and somebody is in for a hiding at Dalymount. They will rape us in centre midfield with a Morrison/O'Grady pairing.
Essential to get some sort of physical parity in there and use the likes of Morrison and Doyle out wide to attack.
I hope he goes for the Ventre/O'Grady pairing.
I know what you are saying but we lack creativity in midfield and I would be interested to how Morrison could get on in the centre. Maybe this would be the wrong game to try it out but I reckon it would be worth a punt at some stage in the season.
i would have to go with ventre/grady midfield otherwise we will be over run - if morrison was there we would be more creative but this would put the defence under too much pressure!
We should go there, keep tight, frustrate the 10 bohs home fans and see how it goes?
Personally i dont really care about this game, its nearly a distraction at this stage, obviously i will be wanting to win but keeping the team injury free for the relegation games is a far higher priority....no point in being the cup holders in a lower division!
We all know what the Bohs stewards are like lads so keeping in mind there is still reprecussions to come from the game last week, no banners or singing about McGuinness is allowed I heard.
And no singing at old fella's that will intimidate and frighten them :P
What station is it on?
Tg4 afaik
id love to know what fifa's view on the jaycist situation is. a player guilty of racially abusing a fellow professional on the pitch, then he gets alot of stick from opposition fans, nothing agressive/physical, just a banner and a song and the club being threatened with a fine. would really love to know what they think on a matter like this.
bohs stewards as usual taking their moral high ground and threatening to kick fans out who say anything. every club in the league took a squad photo at the start of the season last year, and i think this year too, holding the 'lets show racism the red card' posters. contradicting themselves with this the FAI are
FIFA would look at the McGuinness situation and see that he got a 5 game ban and was rightly dealt with
They would probably have a different view on Nazi banners
2 wrongs don't make a right
fook mcguinness and bohs there is only one way to sicken the racist besterd and thats to beat them two weeks in a row and knock them outta the cup. thats far worse than anything we can say or signal. lets wait till 90 mins up and we have won and then wave to our hearts content and lanky jason and the runt fenlon...............
Does anyone know was JMcG fined by Bohs? I very much doubt he was. I know it's all been dealt with etc. etc... but McG should have had a heavy fine plus more than a 5 game ban for what he did.
Sligo Rovers will be before the disciplinary commission on Wednesday over the banner in the Showgrounds to do anything on Friday night would only be adding to our clubs problems.I believe Bohs have been on to the club today threatening to remove anyone from the ground who uses racist chants or banners
We have nothing to worry about so.
Think it's a load of ring how somehow we've been cast as the villains in the piece.
Hopefully nobody will let the club down now though.
