Obviously I couldn't hear what Cronin was saying but his body language and the reaction of Sean O'Connor didn't exactly suggest a groveling apology. Fenlon was one of the most, ahem "animated", along with Cronin and Pat Flynn, and then he came out to try to wind up the crowd and start something during the warm down.

Considering you had the league won at this stage the last two years, and have had a big slice of luck already in a lot of games earlier in the season, I think it's fair to say Bohs are struggling in the league this year.

Nothing to do with me :-)

True. Quickley's "tackle" stands alone in terms of vicousness.

I still thought Cronin merited a red card. There was no attempt to get the ball.

What can you do, today was further evidence in my book that Bohs are struggling big time and are nowhere near their first title winning side, or even the team from last year.

so you agree with me now then, yeah? Last week you told me i was making it up. Doesnt look like Rovers will win it either.

As for the rest of your post stop being such a drama queen. Its the derby FFS, tempers get flared. Im sure your fans werent winding Fenlon up when they were warming down and it was all just initiated by Pat. That would make sense. Im just glad your fans decided to stay off the pitch for a change. Funny what a e5k fine will do.

Excuse me? Last week you were saying that Bohs are out of the title race, Rovers too, that neither had any chance of winning the league. That's preposterous. I said you're struggling, not that the title race is over and it's a two horse race between Dundalk and Pats.

How am I a drama queen? I reported the facts as I saw it, which was rather interesting and has been picked up in every review of the game, and left out what I heard from others around me, but didn't see, which included punches being thrown from two players, one on either side. Rovers fans were winding up Fenlon, they were winding up Jason Byrne too. I never said they weren't, it's a pretty common occurrence at LoI games these days believe it or not.

thats not what i said. I said we were crap and "Heres hoping Nutsy sorts it out but i think the league is down to Pats and Dundalk. Rovers and ourselves have gone backwards". Ive pointed this out to you already in the previous thread but you ignored it.

You now agree with me. Thank you.

Yawn, its happened before it will happen again. Drama.

ah yes, how could i forget that

**Jicked** · 29/05/2010, 6:14 PM

I don't remember ignoring anything, but I still think it's ludicrous to say Rovers or Bohs are out of the title race and its down to the other two.

Doesn't the term drama suggest that it's something of interest? Considering you didn't see the incident I'm surprised you'd be so quick to suggest it's of no interest to anyone, most of our fans at the game certainly found it interesting and I'm sure fans of other clubs at least thought it was worth mentioning a 20 man melee that boiled over twice. Also, I can't remember it happening before with this Rovers team, though Bohs were involved in a similar incident last year with Dundalk.
