    This thread has just served to remind me how sheight a season Pats have had. I was trying to come up with a highlight from the season and I'm damned if I can. The closest is probably the first half performance at home to UCD when we went 3-0 up. The only time we've looked like a decent side. Even then, we let in 2 in the 2nd half and end up hanging on. Roll on November and an end to it. (and hope to Christ we can improve next year.)

    Ollie in the Riverside on his own during our 2-1 win in the League.

    He kept running up and down the length of the stand to keep up with play and berate the linesman.

    The ball was booted up into the back of Roverside and Ollie raced up the stairs to retrieve it. The City supporters burst into a spontaneous chorus of the theme tune from Rocky.

    My moment of the season, without doubt.
    Tifo poles, sausage rolls and a few goals.

    So just because Bohs season is over, means the season is nearing the end?? Bohs logic!!

    There still is a lot of football to be played this season, and only after it has, can fans' memories be chosen and debated on.

    There isn't you know....many seasons are already over and they can start reminiscing...Longford, Bray, UCD, $hels for example.

    Winning trophies like Drogheda might or the league winning will be added of course, but regardless oif when you hold this, those will be there...

    But with 88% of the season gone, I think we can safely assume there on't be very much left to remember except

    1. Winning a trophy and
    2. Surviving relegation.

    And even then that only involves 4 or 5 teams anyway. So it is times for memories already with 9/10ths of the season gone.

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Good home form for once

    Negatives:
    The embarrassment of camarthen
    The banning of rovers fans from flancare
    Very poor attendances
    The heavy criticism that we have come under for a number of reasons from other fans
    Poor away form
    Predictable bad start to the season with a good period during the summer

    All that plus under negative the 5-0 annihilation to Harps!
    Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?

    So we have a Hoop sticking up for Gypos!

    It's not the rest of the league's fault that Bohs' season, and others around them, is as good as over. The league is not solely restricted to them. Cork, Derry, Drogheda, UCD, Rovers, Pats, Waterford, and Harps all have something to play for in the remaining games. That's 2/3rds of the league's clubs. There are 4-5 games left, and a Cup Final to be played, so nothing is decided yet. Until it is, memories of the season must be put on hold.

    -Beating Waterford in Waterford back in July(?).
    -2-2 wiuth Shels when it looked like they'd win 8-0 after ten minutes.
    -Franco's goal against Hearts. I don't care if we lost 5-1, the best goal I remember seeing live.
    -The Cup Semi

    High: Beating Glentoran away

    Lows: Too many of them. Worst of the lot for me was Shels' defeat away to Bohs in May. Horrible night.
