Ryan Kelliher opens the scoring - given the banana-skin potential, just need to keep a clean sheet now, and take the 1-0.

1 nil win for Harps at Kilbarrack..
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Probably deserved to lose that. We were wretched. Season over. Not being capable of winning two games on the trot is a dismal failure from management and players.
She wore, she wore…
Mad game that, shels should have had a penalty no doubt, possible hands from Barratt before then, bohs wasting at least five scoresble chances, Afolabi scores a free header, that’s just the first half.
Second half, stonewall bohs peno turned down, bit of make up there, shels hit the foot of the post, Afolabi missed two chances, Clarke also.
Overall I feel we were worth the win, Damien has a go at a couple of bohs players for trying to shake hands, and gets dogs abuse going off???
Love it.
Bohs were terrific in the first half. A bit more Shels in the second without looking like scoring. Bohs deserved the winOriginally Posted by ger121
A rare day of pleasure at The Bowl. No real surprise that nothing much between us and Cobh, I had assumed we were about mid play off standard at the moment, we will be competitive in the play off spots next year I think, it's such a poor league you have to be dog rough to be outside the play offs really
Entertaining match in Dalymount. Bohs were the stronger side for most of the match and with a bit more composure from Connolly and Afolabi would have scored another goal or two. Clarke made a big impact on the attack and they looked a lot better with him playing in the 10 role compared to McDonell. Terrible from the ref to miss that penalty for Shels in the 1st half, McManus clearly moved the ball with his hand. Shels would have a fairly big hole in the attack if Moylan goes to Lincoln before the transfer window closes. They're blunt even with him but they'd have next to no creativity without him as Boyd while a physical presence isn't the greatest at either creating chances or scoring them.
Good to see Kerry beat Ringmahon, they needed to avoid a slipup there.
No it wasn't handball by Barrett watch the replay on LOI TV he blocked that shot moving his body towards the shot
As I expected Shels marginally better in the 2nd half but completely toothless/lacking composure in the final third which is still a major problem with this team. McLoughlin and his linesman suddenly losing their eyesight for the blatant handball could have changed the game but otherwise Shels not good enough tonight
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Which was that? Connolly throwing himself on the floor?

A hard hitting, quick hitting Bohs are unstoppable. When we start hard and fast we are unbeatable, but when we ease up we are vunrable
Was a penalty.
And shels need no lessons on throwing themselves to the floor, getting soft frees all second half. Duff clearly had a go at mcloughlin at ht and the big eejit decided to leave intimidated.
Also missed the off the ball on Nowak first half.
thought he dived,the 2 commentators did aswell....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Why does Damien Duff always end up in rows after games? Mad from someone with his career behind him....

Historic night for Kerry. Debut in the FAI Cup and a first home win.
Not a great game of football in Kilbarrack tonight. Not the fault of either team really, the pitch is tight and the ball bounces significantly. Felt that the visiting Finn Harps side were comfortably the better team in the first half but Kilbarrack were able to apply a lot of pressure in the second, and even found a couple of free headers in the box that they might have done better with. If Deiric Hyland was available it could have been a very different game, but he wasn't and it wasn't. They looked like a decent team overall and you'd have to think that they could do alright in the LSL Premier, at least at home.
Event management left a lot to be desired, quite a few full bottles of lucozade and cans etc. thrown into the Finn Harps crowd from very short distances. Not a lot that Kilbarrack could do, they removed the kids (and it was kids and teens, not adults) from the ground but sure it was an Astro cage so they just got right back at it from the outside of the cage. The older heads of that group and a few others then jumped the Harps fans waiting at the DART station. Few bottles thrown, punches etc.
Hoping to get another game in at one of the Junior / Inter grounds in the cup this year but will be limiting it to grass pitches from now on. Love getting around the grounds but not sure why the FAI signed off on that venue tbh.
Because he has the emotional maturity of a toddler?
Just in from Drogheda, they were the far better team. Sligo woeful yet again. Russell said himself they shouldn't have been ahead and Drogs the better side. When is it actually going to get better at Sligo? Been on a steady decline for well over a year now
Club officials from Kilbarrack were first class.
Supporters were less than pleasant.
Ground should never have been allowed to host an FAI Cup game.
We done a professional job, despite Rory Kelly making one or two saves, there was only one team going to win the match, and we were well off our best. They've a couple of handy players in the team, but the gulf in standard from LSL to a mid to low First Division club was fairly evident.
Thank f*ck it's over with though and we move on to the next round.
