I completely agree. Good post
And if a Shamrock Rovers fan is posting on the internet, then hes usually talking ****e.
Good point, next caller...
Ehh...just in case anyone was wondering...Bray won 2-1 last night...
Bray Wanderers: So good they were relegated twice (and still stayed up).
and if a Shamrock fan tells you every stadium in every league in Europe is sold out every weekend because they play on Saturdays and Sundays..........etc, etc, etc
George Hamilton believed the Fenlon poor mouth routine about poor old Bohs' bunch of plucky children defying the odds in the Premier Division. When actually
I reckon that Bohs team will pick up more points than say Pats or Dundalk did last year, quite comfortably. The temptation must be huge for Nutsy to bring in a striker.Some stats.
Average age of Rovers XI last night: 24.9
Fenlon's young kids starting line up : 25.9
Players who've won a league title in their starting line up,
Rovers: 5
Bohs: 6
Owen Heary is 36 so take him out & average drops.
Also a big shout out to Michael O'Neill. what a pri*k
Smacks a football into bohs mascot after the game & has to be shamed into coming out of the dressing room by journalists to offer an apology.
Wonder will the model club take any action over this
What action did Bohs take over one of their fans gobbing in MONs face? To answer your question, if it happened then presumably Rovers wont take any action considering it was presumably accidental and he apologised for it.
As for the Hearey thing, Bohs had the three oldest players on the pitch (Hearey, Burns and Price, as far as I know). Obviously if you take them out the average drops. The point still stands, it's a very experienced Bohs team. Besides, Heary is 34 not 36
Doyle made too much of it for Connolly to give the penalty. There was contact though, but not enough.
experience or not, we fielded the most experienced team we had available for the biggest game of our season - nothing wrong with that in my opinion. It is clear that outside of the 6 or so players with the huge experience you refer to we have a lot of youngsters in our squad. Thats not even up for debate in my opinion.
What do Rovers fans think of O'Neill by the way. Assembling a large squad of such talent and playing that rubbish. Must grind a little bit, no? Honest question and if it gets results, fair enough, i suppose. You'd expect a bit more decent football for the quality of player youse have brought in.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Was at the Cork v Harps game last night and it was a bit of a strange one. Watching from the Shed end I was actually impressed with Harps' passing football but they need someone to help the short lad out up front - McMenamin? Cummins is a natural finisher and it was very obvious City targeted the left flank with Davin O'Neill going on a few great runs. I did'nt see the Harps penalty shout just after half time but the City one was right in front of me and it was a definite pen. Best goal of the night was O'Neills blinding curler into the top corner. In the long run City's central defence will be tested by pace and at away games as they look a tad static at times - however a clean sheet and five goals is a great effort. Fair play to the 9/10 Harps fans who came along - hope ye're player who went off injured will be ok, and that all black kit is one of the smartest I've seen in many a year; good luck for the rest of the season.
Once again, obsessed.

Get over it ye aul one, the bohs mascot isn't the first person to get hit by a football by accident and won't be the last.
As for the journo's, they should have been told to **** off and leave Michael to do his job.

To be expected, I think. Played great at Sligo during the week but the midfield he picked seemed designed to soak up pressure. There was no real link play between the back four and the forwards so it was just hoofball, which is a complete waste of O'Neill's talents. Dennehy hasn't been playing well but Sheppard and Kelly are both strikers and we don't exactly attack like Barcelona so they're of limited use.
it is a bit more unusual of a story than that Boots. Im not enraged by it to the extent that some on the Bohs mb are - accidents happen - but it does smack of the actions of a somewhat strange and unstable guy.
this is from the Bohs mb - posted by a very reliable and sensible person.
In a fit or anger as he walked off the pitch tonight he kicked a ball with full force towards the tunnel, Unfortunately for him it hit James (our super mascot who has down syndrome) with full force and hurt him badly. He saw what happened and continued on into the dressing room.Apparently after it was said to him by some press or players in the dressingroom he came out and started saying sorry to me, so I made him aware that James is fully aware of his surroundings (as any of you who have ever spoken to him will know) and he should say sorry to him. He then shook his hand and said sorry. He then turned to me and said that Bohs were **** and that rovers dominated the game. He said and I quote'sure you only scored from a corner'. My reply of course was 'so did you'. He lost the head completely and was dragged away by one of the coaching staff whilst spitting fire towards me.
In fairness, I have got a few messages, indirectly, of goodwill from rovers players and staff who were appalled at his behavior.
James was very upset all the way home and so were his parents on seeing the bruising.
I hope you are proud of yourself Michael O'Neill.

Did you see the incident where Zayed and Fleming clashed in the first half?
Well McClean was closest to the Galway dugout at the time and Connor and him had an "exchange of views". Connor wouldn't leave it and every time McClean went down that side Connor was out, having a wind up.
When McClean scored his first he celebrated with our subs, then pointed at Connor, cupped his ear and then did the aul "fingers on lips" while point at Seany.
I thought it was amusing, Seany was on to the fourth official moaning. If you can't take it, don't give it.
Down syndrome or not. He's still a person that got hit by a football by accident. It happens.
Maybe he is a strange and unstable guy. I didn't know managers have to pass a psychiatric assessment. He's there to manage the team, which he was trying to do

We're all strange and unstable at the end of the day, especially Bohs fans, particularly Bohs MB members - that's depraved behaviour
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.
I stated that accidents happen and the downs syndrome is totally irrelevant if you ask me! So we agree that MON is strange and unstable. Fine by me, that was my point all along.
