Did you actually read what he said?

Which of the unsubstansiated claims by shams great defender do you mean ? That we sold part of the ground - untrue - or the claim that we engineered some deal with DCU to get round SCP - also untrue ?

have no problem debating any legitimate point raised but unfortunately find it difficult to debate made up nonsense that the same individual would not allow were the club anyone other than Bohs.

There was something along these lines in their 2008 accounts which is why Rovers asked the FAI to investigate them last year. Of course the FAI just turned a blind eye.

.....or that the FAI found absolutely no substance whatsoever to shams accusation

I've posted a newspaper article backing up what I said. You're splitting hairs over a technicality; that doesn't take away from the overall point. I expressly didn't claim that Bohs had an agreement with DCU; I merely posted that it had previously been posted (by a Bohs fan).

That's to be commended, but perhaps if they did that last year and regrouped ala Pats instead of getting Johnny Logan to try keep the show on the road for one more crack at it, they might be in a better state.

Hard to convince the aul lads that there's a problem when the trophies were rolling in. That's the sad fact of it.

God this is priceless. But when the FAI find no substance whatsover to Réiteoir/SkStu/Sheridan's racism allegation and publically announce such after an inquiry that doesn't count?

If you have a youtube video of irregularities in Bohs accounts I'd be more than willing to consider it

To be fair to Fenlon, any club that hires him is basically signaling that it wants to spend lots of money. It's not like he goes around seducing chairmen with "**** me" eyes.

yeah more like "im gonna **** you" eyes, when you think about it.

sorry for defending my club in the past lads. Bohs is everything to me and it seems as though we are really screwed. Bad times. I was away for a few days and came back to this. Well, we'll soldier through this however long it takes and we'll be back at some stage.

Genuine question. Did you honestly think things weren't as bad at the club as others (myself included obviously) have made out?

Im not sure why you feel the need to ask me that but ill answer it anyway. I genuinely didnt know the full story. Im not a member. Ive never claimed to know it all but have tried to base my posts on what i knew or heard and i have made that clear on here in the past. I thought we had taken decent steps towards more prudent stewardship in the last year and was confident that we would turn things around. I knew it would involve more cutbacks and was prepared for that and welcomed it. I was worried but didnt know how much i should worry.

I agree with the Bohs people who say that they are relieved and that this is the beginning of the end of the rot. I am hopeful that the members will pull together and set the club back on track as the people at Cork, Derry and Rovers have done. It will be harder for us, probably, and could take a long, long time but it will be worth it in the long run.
