    Plenty of players wouldnt sign for Pats 2 years ago as they heard JMC was a bit of a **** , no way in hell anyone was offering more than us at that time.

    Shamrocks new left back was one, Heary was another, Gamble another, Zayed etc:

    Yes we did but thats just the board we have...we also signed Sean Connor as manager and had 19 reds last season under him as well as one for him...your point? I asked a simple question.

    Why - what have Galway done to be relegated ?

    Then again, it could be argued they were never properly promoted in the first place

    I would hazard a guess that our board were a bit too confident of winning the cup, and 'spent' the prizemoney on Turner's contract, along with the knowledge that the budget would be reduced as well.

    That was always my guess, that and the euro run, your board obviously never though the 'impossible' would happen that you would lose to Fingal#

    Even if Turner wants to move to smaller club, if he got a better deal, so be it, and no hard feelings, Sligo - always a decent club in my view, great fans, seems to be well run. good luck next year.

    # ps how could you possibly lose to them ?.............2009 fai cup winners will be a totally useless stat when they are not around in years to come.

    Simple:

    1) No Conor O' Grady meant no inspiration or battle in the midfield
    2) We didn't look interested for much of the game, nor did the players bar Peers,Keane,Kelly,Blinkhorn,Doyle,Boco and Meenan.
    3) Fingal took advantage of that, *with the help of a penalty that should never have been

    * I hope this dosen't spark another debate over wheter it was or not

    I posted this thinking people would have have their sarcasm indicator turned on. Well done Sligoman & Reitoir. JUST PROOVES THE LEVELS OF IDIOCY ON THIS WEBSITE.

    IT ALSO CONFIRMS HOW MANY IDIOTS POST ON THIS MESSAGEBOARD & LOKK FOR ANY REASON TO HAVE A GO AT BOHEMIAN FC.

    FINALLY THIS THREAD WAS CREATED BY A MODERATOR & WHEN SAID MODERATOR STARTS MAKING UP COURT CASES JUST TO TRY & TAKE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND & POINT THE FINGER WHAT CAN YOU DO.

    If Bohs fans who post on this MB complained about said moderator they would recieve a ban as they are not UCD/Rovers fans.

    Get over yourself ffs.

    I'm sure plenty of people got it but didn't think it was worth thanking of replying too, as I did.

    Make sure to deflate that ego of yours before walking through any tight spaces

    We had money problems around the 18k week budget level , we had relegation problems on a FAI enforced 10k a week budget , then got to a cup final and had title winning form on 12k a week so expect we should be operating around that level . Bulk of income comes via gate receipts which are fairly stable even when we were doing crap for the first half of last season . As mentioned by someone else a few big hitters have left leaving more in the wages pot , heard a rumour that we are getting another former player back for a lot less than he was on during his previous stint.

    Aww did no one laugh at your joke? You've probably been checking all day to see how many "thanks" it got.

    The reason people didn't laugh was because it wasn't funny. As well as sarcasm being the lowest form of wit, it's also the easist and you still couldn't do it well.

    Also i made the same point about 20 minutes before you but it was deleted just after you posted because it was quoting "an unsubstantiated rumour" so you weren't even original.

    I'll now use that one wrong, minor, fact to disprove anything you post in the future.

    DARLINGTON have targetted two experienced players from Irish football, and the duo could join the club next month.

    They have been playing in the League of Ireland, and will be available when the transfer window opens.

    Darlington manager Steve Staunton said: “One of them is a striker and the other a central midfielder. And we are considering others as well. We need players who can hit the ground running.”

    I think there may be one or two more who will not be with us next season.

    Now lets say you are right and you are working off a reduce budget, it still doesn't mean you are living within your means.

    Personally, looking at the Sligo situation, i don't believe you've reduced your budget but thats just my opinion on it. We'll know who was right come the end of the season but you don't have to get so defensive about it
    @forza rovers - Our budget was not 14k last year. It was a lot lower than that.

    Anyways, Hairy Bowsie, I can understand where you are coming to a degree.

    You can believe what you want, or think what you want, but what reasoning do you have behind this? If it all goes belly up mid way through the season I'll hold my hand's up to being wrong, but I genuinely don't think it will. We have a very capable board, with some extremley capable members on that board, which in the past, was not the case.
