i don't know if i want to support this league anymore. for every good thing there seems to be at least ten bad things.
hope fenlon resigns and that bohs just feck off because they have shamed this league to the point where there is no longer any credibility for it.
If you've nothing good to say, say it.

Well done to TNS but shocking result for Bohs. I can't believe it after the first leg.
Longford fans must be loving this........
And wont be any easier after saturdayFollowing "The Dubs" is not easy
They're dancing in the streets of New Saints as we speak.

People are really going over board here... Yeah it's a bad result for an Irish club in Europe... But it's because Bohs were crap not the league... You'd swear the result meant every other club in the league was responsible with some of the comments on here... Bohs fault they lost, not the leagues...
in fairness it's surprising bohs have lasted as long as they have

Rabble, rabble. strip them of the league title, disgrace to the league, won't somebody please think of the coefficient etc... Good luck in the next round TNS.
Absolute disgrace. Assuming I'm right in thinking I could hear boos at the final whistle?
For once I don't think I can blame them . . .
May think differently tomorrow.
Cop on, no league like our one. It's a ****e league with ****e teams. Get on with it.
6-0 in Bulgaria is starting to look like a good result. I wonder what impact this will have on Bohs' budget, I'm guessing they budgeted for getting thru this round. Without wanting to dramatise this has to be one of the worst results we've had in Europe recently... up there with Shels losing to Hibs Malta and Pats 10-0 v Zimbru in terms of bad losses to "weak" teams. Whatever about Longford getting mugged in Wales Bohs are an entirely different, more expensive prospect.

Unless Fingal or Rovers can get through to the Europa next round, I don't think i'll have the heart to go to another game this season.
Sickening.
Most people (particularly Bohs fans) have been predicting they'd do poorly in Europe this year. Not this poorly, mind, but it's not a huge surprise they've been knocked out.
I suppose we'll see what sort of character this Bohs side has now.
Magnificent result. Absolutely delighted for Bohs.
All I'll say is I know how Bohs fans will be feeling tonight, it's not fun. I'll still have a wry smile about it though.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
All the excitement tonight is in Slovenia. Koper are 3-0 up against 10-man Dinamo Zagreb with 10 minutes left. 4-5 on aggregate.
Shocking stuff by Bohs!
Have to agree with this what is wrong with some people saying they wont support the league because Bohs lost ya lets all stop supporting our clubs because an Irish club lost.
Oh. Boll0x.
:/
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
Ultimately the health of the league will be judged by its European performances. The fact that the standard bearers in the LOI for the past couple of season have been humiliated by a Welsh league team reflects badly on the league. They are our CL representatives and their performance tonight rightly or wrongly will be used as a benchmark for where the league is at. If fingal can get through a couple of rounds it might save the European season somewhat but right now the only feeling most LOI fans can have is utter humiliation. Even with the league being dragged through the gutter time and time again, we have in general done fairly well in Europe bar the odd poor performance. However, a defeat like this really is a savage blow for the league and its a result like this that can haunt the league for years to come.
I think people saying they may not go to games is a spur of the moment reaction but it is very demoralising to see the representatives of the league which you support throughout the season being hammered. It has to make you question what is the point. Back when it was winter football you went along to support your team knowing what to expect and you knew not to expect any results in Europe bar the odd one here and there. Now the league has introduced summer football for a number of seasons, the top teams are professional or pro in all but name and there is talk of improving standards etc. From that you take a certain level of performance which the league representatives must reach every year and included in that would be overcoming teams from teams in the bottom few places in the coefficient. For a lot of floating supporters throughout the league, who go a few times a season this will hammer home their idea that the league is muck and not worth supporting. Its sad but true.
