Like - David Jeffrey at Linfield (because he's an absolute gent). Johnny Speake (when he managed Harps for the same reason). STtphen Kenny ain't a bad guy from what I've seen of him.
Dislike - Pat Fenlon (cause he's so bloody annoying), Damian Richradson(cause he's a ****), Dermot Keely (cause he's a money grabbing ****er).
Gavin Dykes (cause he couldn't speak the truth if his life depended on it)
I cant stand that fat cvnt, hes a chancer, a no hoper that festers on the Eircom League and will never amount to anything but he will continue to leech on meager First Division finances. Im glad fat boy got a face full of saliva the last time he came to the showgies, the only redeeming feature on Big Mac is that he is sucking the resources out of that bitter, jealous little club. To sum it up a new Don 'O'Riordan.Originally Posted by Aaron GUFC
Why lally hes not hatable? or is he ? And hes definitely not scrawny hes a fat boy
That's going to far, no manager deserves to be spat at.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Like: Pat Dolan.(I know he's out of a job of late, but surely won't be for much longer?)
Hate: (Drum roll please...) Roddy Bleedin' Collins.
Oh come on. You practically prove there were such actions by your second sentence! It was widely documented, and even Paul Doolin - for whom I have very little time - commented on it in his public row with Mahon last year. Pure scumbags, whoever was behind it.
And in fact, here is the media reporting the abuse -
Breaking news
"Mahon resigned from the post following the abuse he and his family were getting from the fans."
RTÉ
"Kenny replaces Pete Mahon who stood down from the post last week after a string of poor results saw him and his family subjected to torrent abuse from the club's supporters."
Scumbags, plain and simple. Or would the Bohs fans like to re-write history some more?
Fav-Kenny.
Favourite: Stephen Kenny (good manager and a nice fella) and Roddy Collins (not a big fan of his managerial style, but a really sound fella to talk to). Gareth Farrelly seems alright too. Of course Rico's better than any of them!
Least favourite: If it was of all time, then Dermot Keely would win by a distance. Of the current crop, Doolin just annoys me, Matthews is a feckless dope with a bad attitude, Dolan is two-faced and full of ****, but of course, Shels are well out in front: Fenlon is just an irritating pest with a major attitude problem, and that red-faced twerp who hangs around with him is just as bad.
What a load of ****e,you really are an absoloute clown.You're definitely top of the league when it comes to posting ****e.Do you know lally personally

Ok as far as I know, the whole "Mahon's family threats" happened like this:
Playing inept football, Bohs are set for set an other match without a win under Pete Mahon
Bohs fan: Mahon you're a ******
Mahons's offspring:He's my father
Bohs fan:You're the child of a ****** then
Hardly a threat is it?
I heard it was rovers fans dressed up as bohs scumAnd in fact, here is the media reporting the abuse -

DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS

You claim my post is absolute sh1te maybe you can enlighten me on the pearls of wisdom you have so cleverly hidden in yours. Your so hypocritical and 2 faced that ya cant see out of your own arse, you have just called Sean Conner a whole spate of names but no reasons ?? is that wisdom ?? So dont be such a pompous krusty and climb down off your pedastil. And you call me pathetic ??Favorite....Stephen Kenny.
Least Favourite....Sean Connor.He is an absoloute ******...gob****e
Maybe the fact that Connor gave us the finger at the match on friday would justify me calling him a gob****e.

Would ya get the boat pineapple head...
As one of the few Bohs fans that stuck with him until almost the end until it was quite clear he would never have a future at the club, I was disgusted by his pathetic whining to the nation's media.
I seriously doubt that any "threats to his family members" were ever made, unless you count fans calling Mahon a **** in front of his family as a threat, while I certainly don't condone it, there is no way you can interpret that as a threat.
Just because sections of the media, i.e. the examples you have just given; RTE and Breakingnews.ie decided to believe Mahon's sob story does not mean that his story is true. Wasn't it very convenient on his part to go on national radio, on Marian Finnucane's show to spill his tear provoking story to the public? Wasn't it very convenient that Mahon then had the media focusing on the "scum" who made threats to his family... Cop on to yourself and realise that all he was trying to do was take of the attention off himself and the terrible job that he had done with a team who had just won the double in style.
As a result of his pathetic whining, the media lost sight on why he really lost the job: the terrible signings, his tactical naivety and the fact that he lost the respect of his players.
I thoroughly appreciate his obvious abilities as a coach, the great job he is currently doing at UCD and the remarkable achievements he amassed at St. Francis, but at Bohs, a big club, he was found out that he was not up to such a job. He was incapable of handling the expectations of the board, fans and press who expected bigger and better things, especially considering the positive start the club had made to the season.
It was his failure to live up to these high expectations and not being able to deal with the increasing pressure that followed that led to Mahon losing his job. I hold no grudges against Mahon, despite him dragging the good name of Bohemians into disrepute; in fact I wish him all possible success at UCD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just for the record:
Favourites: Kenny*, Keely, Mahon
Disliked: Fenlon, Doolin, Devlin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Kenny: It was a pity his tenure at Bohs at Bohs ended in the way it did. He quite clearly lost his composure towards the end. It was definitely time for him to go. He'd lost to a poor club in Europe and, for the second season running, failed to mount a serious challenge for the title. There were stories of unrest at his handling of team affairs within the dressing room, he had clearly not spent transfer and wage budgets wisely and it was only a matter of time before he got the chop. He failed to live up to the high standards that Bohs and he himself had set. But I will always be grateful for the title win at Tolka in 2003 and of course, the way he left in a dignified manner.
It looks like Bohs have surrendered any chance of winning the title this season, mainly through way of our poor start and mounting injury list over the past while. This considered; I sincerely hope that Kenny can bring the title up to the randy Brandywell.
just wondering ... nobody's mentioned Farrelly one way or the other - we here at bipolar central think he's pretty good and don't miss the rest of the league's pin -up boy, SK, at all, but I'm puzzled at this lack of an opinion, one way or t'other from the great foot.ie public

Cool: Pat Fenlon, Gareth Farrelly
Fool: Roddy 'Turncoat' Collins, Pat Dolan

now that bohs have joined us 'mid-table also rans' , nobody cares about you any more, hence o opinions on your manager
good answer..now that bohs have joined us 'mid-table also rans' , nobody cares about you any more, hence o opinions on your manager
Why would anyone mention him?
He is neither good, bad or indifferent so far, and has gone largely unnoticed by most eL fans. Probably a good thing for the big pub?
See, this list alone means you can't possibly be a real Bohs fan, and so your arguments are invalid!
With respect, I'd believe media reports over you "doubting" something happened. Some basis v. pure speculation. From talking to Pete, particularly after the Doolin rant, I know he isn't the kind to go whining for no reason. Yes, he didn't bring success to Bohs - especially after his good start (beating Levadia 3-0 and us 6-0), but to assume all Bohs fans were angels in his demise is, to borrow a phrase used about Ollie on another thread, out of character, I'm afraid.
However, in the absence of any further evidence (unless I find more reports on the net), I think we can just leave it at that and leave any fans who are interested make up their own minds.
