I don't care what the maths says......

Granted it's unlikely but by the same token... they are not relegated just yet!

Having said that, I know we scored from a set piece last night, but it's the first one out of fourteen goals so far. Last night wasn't our best footballing display of the season by any means, it was more of a grafted win, but in other games we've played some sublime stuff.

I'll hold my hands up if I'm wrong. I've seen Pats three times this season and Ndo has been poor imop, and that's down to the system, also imop.

Well thank you for that insightfull piece of information, you have really lifted a great weight off my mind.

Maybe you would like to follow up that statement with the reasons for our managers departures. Cause lets face it, we must have chased and hounded, willie mc stay, lawrie sanchez, steve cotteril, sean connor all out of the club. Or maybe we bring through quality managers but they use the club as a stepping stone to greater things, eg lawrie sanchez. These managers were not harassed and abused at games, they left of their own accord. A noteable difference with your club. Just look how long the club put up with Don O'Riordan, that just says it all.

So what does that show, that you are content with being a nothing club with no ambition while we want our club to be successful and can see through spoofers. Apart from Kenny any other manager has not gone on to anything bigger than Bohs after he left, Roddy, Mahon, Farrelly or McGrath if you count his five games. Try going to games abroad and see how failures get treated, I will never put up with spoofers at my club and am happy that other Bohs fans feel the same. As for managers I would say not only Sligo but at least half if not more clubs in the premier have had more managers than us in the last 10/15 years.

Its the system he pretty much getting carried but players like him need to be carried. With Mulcahy back he may get pushed up front to a free role.

Mulcahy Fahey Kirby
Ndo
Oneil

Thats not correct, roddy did go on to manage shams.

Well I suppose if you count getting the relegated fair enough, he did succeed in that one.

I will give everyone on here a tenner if Derry win any Cup under Pat Fenlon this season.

The rubbish signings in Dave Rodgers and Greg O''Halloran (not to mention Karl Bermingham) are mind boggling. Furthermore his inability to secure a decent keeper during the close season leaves a lot to be desired.

Derry will concede twice as many goals this season under Fenlon. Last season under Stephen Kenny Derry had a 100% home record for most of the season. This season they have lost their 2nd home game. That says it all really. How much will Derry fans tolerate?

�10 - no risk. I'm holding you to that.

**Risteard** · 26/03/2007, 9:10 PM

Me too. League Cup please.

**Mr A** · 26/03/2007, 9:54 PM

If they win two do we get 20?

**harpskid** · 27/03/2007, 1:12 PM

Me too - come on City

**harpskid** · 27/03/2007, 1:14 PM

On a point of clarity - will you give everyone on foot.ie (about 4,000 members

) a tenner or everyone in this thread

Just in case it's the latter, I better post here too.

We've only lost one home game.

I'll take a piece of that bet.

**Jerry The Saint** · 27/03/2007, 2:17 PM

Odds of 10/0 but still not getting a lot of takers...

Worrying times for Fenlon.

**Dodge** · 27/03/2007, 2:25 PM

I'm in

**Jerry The Saint** · 27/03/2007, 2:35 PM

Anyone see the pictures of Fenlon in Windsor last week with the glasses and the hat pulled down - kinda looked like he's starting to turn into Dermot Keely.
