Hopefully a decent crowd in Tolka tonight. No doubt Bohs fans will be hoping to see us get hammered, but they did go out to a First Division side in the Cup last year, maybe in League cup this year.

Tbh though, I seriously doubt it.

Deserved win for Bohs at Tolka tonight. Shels were great for the first 25 minutes but after that we lost composure and purpose and it was Bohs' game for the taking. Glen Crowe just had to score twice which were ridiculously soft goals to give away on Shels' part. Bohs were the better side but still didn't impress me, I can't see the Bohs megastars making top 4 in the premier... Fenn and Mansaram in particular look poor. Refereeing was again shocking, Niall O'Reilly was sent into an ambulance after a wild challenge by Kelly which the little pr!ck got the harsh punishment of a...... free kick :rolleyes:

Stokes disgraced himself again tonight as he let Bohs off time and time again as they kicked and elbowed their way to a marginally deserved victory.

Shels played their hearts out, but it just wasn't enough. I thought Leech had a fantastic game up front as did Brophy at the back and O'Dowd in goal.

If that's the best Bohs can do against a team made up of players earning €45 a week, they haven't a hope in hell of making Europe or the Setanta.

Very disappointed with the size of the crowd and surprised to see so many Bohs fans leave early as they were winning. I can only assume they were disgusted with their team's performance....

it was actually the drogs under 17 team that played with 2 of the u21 squad played some nice football but the full backs were just too small it really was men against boys. the lads can be very proud of themselves. The 3 goals were 3 headers and drogheda had some good chances themselves. Was talking to John Gill after the match and he said that drogheda team would beat half the teams in division 1 and should be proud of themselves:)

We were going to be held back, and no-one fancied that. So the gardaí and stewards let everyone stream out during the last 10 minutes, and then when the final whistle went, closed the gates. Priceless.
