Fenlon has resigned?

[BohsPartisan]

Rico? Come on. He's been in some big jobs and has only won one title - with Dolan's team, and this year is going nowhere.

[bohs til i die]

The 2 best managers in league are Stephen Kenny and Sean Connor followed closely by Damien Richardson. It doesn't surprise me that Bohs are after a useless manager such as Fenlon since they sacked the best manager the league has ever seen in Stephen Kenny.

In Fenlon's first 3 seasons as manager he went head to head with Stephen Kenny at Bohs. Bohs were spending as much as if not more then Shels and Fenlon won TWO LEAGUE TITLES to Stephen Kenny's ONE.

To dismiss Fenlon's managerial ability is foolish.

There is a very clear and obvious difference between telling someone to F*** off and to put up a splash with a message of support to a manager. Cop on would dictate that your scenerio is a non-runner. So the answer is No to your question. But you knew that already.

What about the "6-0" one then? That was deliberately put in as a less extreme example.

My point is that you've put the splash up on the basis that the fans wanted it, which I think is not, of itself, a good enough reason to put stuff up on a website.

But the fans wanting it wasn't the only reason the flash was put up. It was showing support for the manage which is perfectly correct for an official website to do, as would be congratulating the team on a 6-0 win.

There's no controversy here.

Its a bit of a odd point Pineapple Stu, as with all things that happen on the site, I put them up for the fans. I didn't think a splash in support of the manager was anything shocking. Putting up a 6-0 win, in context, would be fine, sure we put it up on our news page after a game? But I wouldn't put up a "6-0 In your face Other team". As student Mullet said, there is nothing here bar the fact you think it was an amateur splash. A show of support for a manager. It wasn't an attack on anyone

Actually, I explicitly stated that I wasn't offering an opinion one way or another on it. I just hate the idea of doing things purely because it's what the general populus want, which was the only reason you gave for doing it.

If you considered it and thought it appropriate, then fair enough. I'm just one of those people who hate things being justified on the basis that they're popular.

Facist!

It's called Democracy.
You don't like it - move to Iraq.

You guys give the D4IT a bad name - it's 'fascist', not "facist'

Prejudiced against faces, a completely different thing.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

Prejudiced against that poster known as "A face", I would have thought?

[DmanDmythDledge]

I think all the little kids surrounding Fenlon after the final whistle was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!!

[Maynard]

Can't see Fenlon going anywhere before the end of the season. Two cups there for the taking, if he was to wait it'd stop alot of the accrimony before it even starts. Bohs seem to be playing the "as long as it takes to get the right man for the job" line now anyway.

Seperately I'd be SHOCKED if Keely takes over for next year. As for Giller as number two, depending on where Dundaaaallkk finish he might be the big cheese at a Prem club anyway next year.

Possibly a chance for Eamon Collins to step up to the plate next season - assuming Keely, R Collins ( ) and Dolan are the only other available options it wouldn't be so bad?

[Ash]

With the way Gill was going on about the proposed new division selection
being unfair I reckon he'll jump ship at the 1st sniff of a job with Shels.

[Ash]

Actually, just seen on www.eleven-a-side.com

Bohs play waiting games as Shels demand compo
September 12, 2006

Bohemians are patiently waiting to appoint Pat Fenlon as their new
manager, with Shelbourne believed to be seeking compensation.

The saga still looks no closer to absolute resolution, though it does
appear only a matter of time before the 37-year-old hooks up with
his former club. It is understood that the two clubs are currently in
talks aimed at putting an end to the issue. ........

[Drumcondra Red]

So what, they were proabably just local kids having a laugh. You are on our turf after all.

Thats a great attitude to have, this took place during a minutes silance in honour of a young Shelbourne fan who recently passed away. Its nice to see the future of your club is in good hands!

Oh and maybe the group of Bohs youth who show up every week to cause trouble outside Tolka when Bohs aren't playing are local kids too??? Yeah, thats it!

On a public street outside the ground! How were they to know what was going on inside?

[BohsFans]

I wonder will Shels be fined for that pitch incursion?

[EnDai]

On a public street outside the ground! How were they to know what was going on inside?

They didn't of course, it was just unfortunate timing.

However, what in the name of Christ were they doing outside Tolka chanting about Bohs on a night when Bohs weren't playing, when Bohs next game was 24 hours later in a different province?! If that isn't looking for trouble, what is?

They're just poor inner-city working class kids with no hope, no facilities and nothing to do on a Friday night, fighting back against the government of this poxy country who have all but killed any sense of community that we ever had. Man it makes me angry.
