Bohs on Saturday

**rambler14** · 01/08/2008, 8:34 PM

Could this be the end of Hendo???

**pcplod** · 01/08/2008, 8:40 PM

well the buck has to stop with someone and it has to stop sooner rather than later

**ramsfan** · 01/08/2008, 8:44 PM

we can all give it loads about we are playin bohs and we didnt expect to get anything and that we should concentrating on teams around us but facts are we are being torn assunder by bigger teams and we are not collecting half enough points against teams around us

it is a results business and we arent cutting it by a long way, we need to be careful because if galway get there act together we could be cut a drift

what is the answer?

do we change manager and hope that new manager brings a change in fortune as is seen at most clubs when new manager comes in and players have to move out of their comfort zone and play for positions

i personally dont think this is the answer hendo is a good coach and manager but football is a funny game so ?

the carey situation is a dodgy one the guy is struggling the best thing would be to give him a break on sidelines and put coleman or mulcahy in, but we still persist and he has cost us probabaly 4-5 games this year

i dont know lads but when i came off ferry today i saw next weeks opponents on sign is derry then came home and saw them on telly and i really cant see us beating them they look like they could hockey us

poor result tonight and poor campaign doesnt even sum it up

**ramsfan** · 01/08/2008, 8:46 PM

well what ever happens it needs to be done quick, too much faffing about has cost us dear this season, make the hard decisions and make them quick

Agree with ya 100% I'd love it if he stayed but as you say football is a funny game.

Drop him and drop him now!...........Coleman in right-back and John Meade in at left-back. Failing that put Mucky in at right or left back with Coleman going in at the opposite side.
As for Bilko.......it's a pity we didn't sign competition for him during the window. It might have spurred him on to be a better keeper!

**pcplod** · 01/08/2008, 8:50 PM

i agree if the hard decisions are made fast then maybe we can get it together but it is hard to be optimistic at this stage

**rambler14** · 01/08/2008, 8:52 PM

2-0 Galway

......We need at least a draw vs Derry. Were 3 points from safety, wouldn't ya love a sneaky 1-0?

Galway are a different team with Kenna in their defence.

**ramsfan** · 01/08/2008, 9:15 PM

derry are a differnet class to us so i am really feeling depressed tonight, aertel is not nice reading

**ramsfan** · 01/08/2008, 9:22 PM

Team P W D L F/A Pts

12 Cobh Ramblers 21 2 5 14 10 / 35 11

is this good enough?

**rambler14** · 01/08/2008, 10:54 PM

I just saw the goals on Sports Tonight. The 1st goal was an absolute disgrace. Ball went over all the defenders heads and it fell to Joxer on the byline. All Carey had to do was shield him out yet he backed away and ended up on his arse! Joxer shot from an impossible angle as he was right on the line, all he did was sidefoot it yet Bilko went to ground like an old granny and made an absolute b0llocks of it.

Hendo would want to go way and throw his gloves on again and try and do a Jeff Kenna because Bilko is sh!te and is not good enough for Ramblers. He must play drunk because he seems to see two balls!........he is useless, yet somehow he's still 1st choice without any competition.
Carey should definetley be dropped on evidence of what I just saw because he hasn't a clue what he's doing either!

who would you suggest at this stage, the chairman, the manager, the kitman, the people of cobh for not supporting the club, tell me now oh great one

**Dodge** · 02/08/2008, 2:01 PM

Rights lads, I've had to delete a rake of posts. If you can't argue the point without resorting to calling each other names, don't bother posting

**pcplod** · 02/08/2008, 2:45 PM

All i am saying is that something has to be done if you cant see that then you must have blinkers on. What is to be done is not up to me to decide and it is not going to be easy but hendo has some tough decision to make regarding team selection in my opinion which i am entitled to. Now that you mention it i think everyone including staff, members and supporters must take some of the blame for the position we are in but rather than dwelling on that i would like to see us batteling or way out of it and trying to survive which sadly is looking less and less likely after every game. So quit with the sarcasim because i dont see you coming up with any solutions either in case you have forgotten this is a discussion forum so that is what i intend on using it

Well Said.

Agree with all of it especially the last part.

**ramsfan** · 02/08/2008, 3:28 PM

exactly, we all want to stay up but how is the question

€500 goal bonus to the goalscorer(s), but only if we win. Money talks.

**ramsfan** · 02/08/2008, 3:58 PM

luka that is what we should have been doing all season money does talk, small basic wage and huge win bonuses, money motivates everyone fact

**ramblers** · 03/08/2008, 12:47 PM

I think it would be worth getting Damien Richardson on board until the end of the season.

There is no point in continuing the way we are going!! It is fine the Chairman getting in the funds but when the manager has acted like a spoiled child over the last few weeks then something has to happen.

There will be no point in doing something about it when we are relegated!!

I can't see why Galway winning is bad, i thought it was a great result for us. Fourth from bottom is where we need to be and that result still keeps us only 4points from that, if Harps won we would be 7 points from it..............

Hendo really needs to get a grip, suspending players himself is not going to save us, we need every player we have, we need John Meade back in the team and Carey to be dropped. Find other ways of punishing them.
He was pretty novel last season when players late for training had to sing infront of the squad. Something that brings a bit of life and spirit back into the team.
It was spirit that got us promoted last season, how many injury time goals did we score. That was the difference between us and them last season.
