    Is Derek Foran the dirtiest player in the League of Ireland

    Cards on the table, I am BOHS fan.

    I have only seen this "so called footballer" play twice.

    In the game at Dalymount he got sent off for two yellow cards which were red card offences on there own.

    Tonight he hit one of the bohs players in the first half with a elbow in the back of the head that should have been red instead of yellow.

    The guy as far I can see is in my opinion nothing but a thug.

    Would be interested to hear the opinion of supporters of other teams in the league.

    Far far from it and probably a little unfair to base your opinion on 2 dublin derbys and start a full thread about it

    Player of the year last year for Dundalk.
    Gone downhill since he went to Shamrock Rvrs IMO
    Just lumps the ball up the pitch but i don't believe he is a dirty player.

    He's not dirty, he's just very clumsy. And he's actually a good footballer, which I was as surprised as anyone to learn. Pat Flynn is a dirty player.

    I wouldn't say the dirtiest. He's been putting it about a bit this season, but it often looks like frustration at not being able to keep up - he's definitely not good enough to be a regular starter in a Premier top-half defence.

    one of our stand out players from a terrible bunch last year. got player of the year but he refused to take an jnjection and play in the playoffs when we most needed him incase he got injured...this ruling out any moves for him and a few weeks back he did an interview with the mirror and degraded Dundalkfc. hes not a dirty player but just another arrogant so and so now hes with one of the "big" clubs.

    A couple of dirty issues of late but I wouldn't call him a dirty player. Not good enough to be a league winning centre half. He might be able to pass it but in the air he isn't great and his marking is poor.
    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!

    Foran? I suppose that explains your league position so.

    That's it basically.

    Can be good but also a huge liability.

    I watched him play for a season and there is no way I'd consider him a dirty player.

    He has certain characteristics I don't like, but he is a fine footballer.

    How's Chambers getting on for you? A lot of us thought he would be a massive loss to us but Bolger playing in that role and is doing a better job, presses higher than Chambers and is more positive on the ball than Chambers was.
    Here on a technicality.

    The decision to bring Chambers in is bizarre. Croly clearly wants to build the team around him, but in doing so he's pushed Stephen Rice - a vastly superior player - out of position (and sometimes out of the team entirely) and basically relegated McCormack (also a superior player, in my opinion) to reserve right back. I fully believe the team would have played better this season if he'd stayed at Pats. That said, he's a good player and hasn't done much wrong.

    Stephen Rice is not a better player than James Chambers
