Absolutely bizarre game that. Don't think it's bias to say that Pats were the better side on balance but...who cares. Kenny is completely incapable of setting up a team to create chances so we were ********ed once Bohs nicked the lead through an error from Clarkey. Drennan forced a great save from Talbot at 0-0 but outside of that just the usual huffing and puffing, oh and ANOTHER mid-game formation change that once again worked in the opposition's favour. Nice one Harry, now please leave.
Pat's were the better team, Bohs extremely sloppy at the back and quite miraculous we kept a clean sheet. Lads can moan and howl about Harry Kenny all they like but there's not much he can do when his team missed sitters like that Pats player did just before Bohs peno. The peno decision itself looked very very harsh.
But a 3-0 win is just the tonic after a tricky week, 8 point gap to Pats now is a decent cushion. Good to see Ryan Swan bag a couple of goals too.
Amazing to see the gulf that has emerged between the top four and the rest this season.
Well that was a shambles. Never seen a team with so many one-on-ones before.
Though I guess I'd take 7 points from 3 games and 7-0 andi the fourth.
Still, happy 30000th post...
Jack Byrne playing with a cigar in his mouth again, he seems to be getting better, great to c greener getting a couple of goals and Cummins getting off the mark.
Shouldn't have taken to much out of the lads in advance of Europe. Finn got a day off which after all the pressing he did on Thursday he more than deserved.

Big result for Rovers with the added confidence of getting a load of goals. Heck, even Graham Cummins got one!
Felt sorry for the UCD players watching that, huge blocks of time where a UCD player didn't touch the ball nevermind have full possession of it. The possession stat must have been at least 70-30 to Rovers. Jack Byrne was unbelievable once again as was Sean Kavanagh.
Didn't know Marino wrote the Bohs official match previews
"Mandroiu will instead serve that suspension today alongside skipper Derek Pender, who received a ban for his part in the unnecessary post-match scuffles, which were initiated by UCD goalkeeper Conor Kearns goading and deliberately inciting Bohs fans."

Brought it on ourselves really. Lost possession too easily and couldn't keep pace at the back. Rovers scored when they wanted really
Yeah some moments where ucd showed what they can do with the ball but only we'll after Rovers had stopped trying.
Good to see Osam do the warmup though even if he's not ready to be in the squad yet.
Imagine losing 7-0 at Shamrock Rovers.... unthinkable
Yea, everyone is wrong except you 😁 and they are all laughing WITH you not AT you.
Wouldn't argue Pats had more of the ball but they looked clueless. Hoofing the ball is not creativity and honestly the players you have are capable of much much better.
I have often said Kenny deserved more time but its getting more difficult to say every time I see Pats. And for the record Bohs were very very poor today just made less basic errors

It's been like that all season, we've had a lot of games where we look the better side without actually creating anything and then we go 1 down and it's game over.
He has to go now, we could still get a decent run at the Cup with a new manager.
Are Bohs getting a points deduction for the Mandriou thing? Only heard about it briefly in Sweden but haven't been checking the news on it.
Here on a technicality.
Middle third Pats are fine.Final ball is awful though.It was a really poor game..Bohs flattered by the win and the margin.
Probably the smallest Pats support I have seen in recent years.About 2, 500 at the game.Another couple of hundred stayed in the bars to watch the golf
A fine and three nil awarded to UCD, Pender suspended, Mandriou ban extended to include Pats game.Heard that was the extent of the penalty
Pats going to wait and see how many points Bohs finish ahead of us and then write to the FAI asking for a points deduction.
Here on a technicality.
Wasn't really necessary and Bohs should be above that. Thankfully they didn't have someone write an article for the program to review the incident and post match UCD player comments. That would have been really embarrassing
Emm maybe read the club Presidents note in the aforementioned programme, issue was dealt with.
Probably too late for Pats to get rid of Kenny this season but suspect a serious consideration will be made with regard to next season. I just cant see a team pattern/ shape at all with Pats, lot of decent players but no cohesion which is down to the management team. Bohs are more limited quality wise but have a clear direction in how they want to play. That, yesterday, was the difference between the sides (although 3-0 was ridiculously flattering to Bohs).
