Bohs in a race with Bob Marley's estate to see who can get their injunction in first!
Fair play to Dundalk. I'll hold my hands up as someone who thought Giovagnoli's appointment was the prelude to a car crash at 100mph. I don't think anybody can say Dundalk play as well as they did under Kenny, but it looks like the new man has stopped the slide and the form is gradually picking up.
I can't recall who brought it up, but there is something about Irish managers expecting to lose in Europe. And maybe foreign managers from cultures where that fear isn't a default setting communicate something less fatalistic to players. It'll be interesting to see when players from Rovers' and Dundalk's Euro runs become managers if they'll have a less fearful view of these games. Come back to me in a decade for an answer!
