With Fenlon coming out in yesterdays press saying he'd put out " a second team " for the League Cup Final, what players can we expect to see at The R.S.C. on Saturday ?
If Bohs have any sense they'll field a strong team. If they miss out on the league then they may well run afoul of the 65% rule and suffer a points deduction/ be relegated. In that case the LC would keep them in the Setanta at least.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
the Setanta is a dead duck at this stage. Its no incentive.
Apologies to Waterford in all this as they will be the innocent victims in all this but im not surprised that we wont field a full strength team after this shambolic treatment from the FAI. I fully support Fenlons decision to field our young players if thats what ends up happening. The inability of the large group of vociferous Derry fans to first grasp the point and then debate it smacks of wummery but then empty vessels make the loudest noise.
There are about 6 Derry fans posting on the thread.
At least half of them are making reasonable points. If we are back to debating the issue, perhaps you may want to answer the point I raised above.
Pity the same cant be said about empty grounds, then Dalymount would be a place to fear.

brilliant, that is just genius!
because i dont know if its a point or not. Either way, it is just a further attempt to muddy the waters of what is a very legitimate complaint from Bohs regarding the way the FAI has acted. Ill leave it at that.
The full bohs squad will travel for game, guaranteed!

I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.
The Waterford marketing team kicks into action
no, seriously, i wouldnt be upset if we didnt field a full strength team (as it wouold serve the FAI right) but it is up to the club and Fenlon to do what they feel is best. It also is good for the competition and the Waterford fans to have a decent game and not have our reserves out.
(i did also say in the same post "if thats what ends up happening")

ah it doesnt matter.
How did you not get that :P
Possible not true he saying it just marketingThe full bohs squad will travel for game, guaranteed!
Anyway don't really care about the cup looking more forward to the day out than the match but winning would be nice. Pat should play the A-team and see what happens bring on 3 first team players if we are losing. Hopefully I will bwe wrong and we will get a great game that will live in the memory for years to come :P
haha
Why wont you just explain it?ah it doesnt matter.
Does that mean i win?

id rather leave a bad joke linger like an eggy fart than have to explain it...
of course you win!
Muddy the waters?
If Bohs were certain that they had a "deal" from the FAI, why did they feel the need to contact Derry independently to ask them to change the date?
That's a fairly straightforward question. As others have said, if fans on here know the process for fixture rearrangements then board members should.
I don't see many Waterford fans complaining about the fact that they are pushing for promotion and have had their fixture pushed back too. All's I see here is a level playing field and as far as I can see by the reported comments of Fenlon he deserves here and now to be fined by the FAI for demeaning a competition.
Aon, dó, trí, bhí mé i mo luí, thit mé den leaba, he! he! he!
It appears to me from reading through what went on in the media and on this thread that its the Bohemians fans that are unable/unwilling to grasp the point.
I have to agree with the Derry fans on this and, believe me, that wouldn't come naturally to me!
I understand the whole going to derry problem, but we've played a shíte load of games too. Munster cup, ea cup, fai cup and league. We've only played 36 games so far.
I'm sure bohs have played more, but they are a full time outfit and will have expected to have played as many.
