Have to say, I know we're still missing half a team, but Sligo are genuine title contenders. That was the best I've seen anyone play against us this season; 4-0 was fully merited. Only consolation I can really take is that we were still trying towards the end, and created three or four good openings in the last five minutes, albeit when Sligo were relaxing with the job done. Keep an eye out for the first goal in particular on MNS; would be surprised if it doesn't win Goal of the Month; cross from the left met with a rifle volley into the corner.
Four points from eight games for us since beating Fingal in July. But very tough to recover from a hammering like that ahead of Fingal next week...
Can't see us catching Shams but if we can win in Inchicore on Friday we've a great chance of second. Playing some great stuff.
did the salthill -v- athlone match finish 1-1?
You're on the internet and you can't check that for yourself?`
It did, yeah. No scorer details on livescore; Aertel notes "To follow" scored for both sides, but somehow knows that Salthill scored on 34 and Athlone equalised on 46.
Couldn't believe we were that comfortable! A 4-0 win, with Doyle, Peers, Russell and Ryan not starting. I don't think we'll win the league, but we'll have a big say in who does!
Bring on the Shamrock!!![]()
By the way, who was that I was tlaking to in Mooney's before the match? The lad who had the dream last night where Boco scored a goal and went over to the stand holding up four fingers, maybe to signal a 4-0 win? Barsteward!!!![]()
What, you reckon that defeat nipped in the bud our certain 12-match winning-streak to claim the title at the death from you?
(Or you just don't like us...)
It's always better to be sure...
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
What a game, great atmosphere and general buzz around the club.
Coming into some great form when we face shams at home in the semi final of the LC, cant wait.
Great result for Rovers last nite. Was expecting a lot more from UCD.
We have a great squad in place. To be able to bring subs on like Blinhorn and Doyle as well as having Ryan and Russell in the stand and Peers on the bench shows the quality of player at the club. Great competition for every position and Cookie is not afraid to make tough decisions and put players that deserve it into the team.
To massive games ahead in the next week, Shams in the semi of the LC and a real six pointer against Pats on Friday nite.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
I'm not a fan of this view that to deserve anything, you have to play like Barcelona. Having a solid back line, deep-sitting central midfielders, and powerful strikers to feed on crosses and long balls is just as much "good football" as passing the ball across the back four thirty times until the opposition get confused enough for you to launch a counter attack, and if you do it right, it's just as deserving of praise and results.
