Any word on Ollie, Nigel?
Playing with bad players doesn’t help either,he never stopped trying but he wasn’t going to stand out in that team ,negative tactics and just poor players
I remember passing him in the hospital where he works a couple of weeks ago and it was 4pm on a match day and thinking how tough it must be for players to do a day’s work and be expected to show up and perform,getting harder for players in that situation with most of the top league full time….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Hadn't realized he was working in the hospital. That's no easy shift to be coming from to play a game of ball. The mental and physical drain must have been brutal at times. And trying to shift perspective from what's going on in the ward to kicking a leather bag around a field....Fair play to him.
Reading this.
21 leagues and 25 cups.
More often than not, he was going into work after games rather than having to work before games. Does a lot of night porter work in the hospital.

This is one year when I can't pick a POTY...or YPOTY.
Not one POTY stands out, maybe if Devoy or Omochere were still there I guess. They've been uniformly bad- to the extent that Rory Feely has been better than average.
Maybe Max Murphy for YPOTY, but most Bohs fans would vehemently disagree (personally I think he's been good).
McManus
I saw Murphy play 1 decent match, but also a few shockers.
Times are tough when Rory Feely is one of your best players all right.
Flores was ok in a couple of games I saw, and McDaid has decent flashes at times.
But yea, for Bohs it’s just been an absolute stinker of a year.
Murphy has had a few mistakes, the og v rovers was the worst possible start, but is young, and I've seen enough to suggest that he'll be a good player in the future. Can pick a good pass that isn't just a sideways one/pump forward. Certainly better than Wilson, has even been decent played LB. I think that he has a target on his back from some sections of the supporters that isn't deserved.
Re the rest,
Feely also hasn't been as bad as Kelly this season. Burt might have been OK, but has been inconsistent, and seems to have already checked out. On POTY, maybe Twardek for his late season performances? Not offered with any real conviction though.
You won't get any disagreement out of me when it comes to how bad Kelly has been
Fair points. I actually think Wilson isn’t too bad.
Young players like him and McDaid who actually have a bit of talent/potential might show better performances next year if the team has a proper spine. You’d imagine that if Talbot and Buckley are fit and performing next year their experience and leadership will make a difference.
