    Cant remember the last time we scored directly from a free kick, Paul Byrne or Simon Webb at least 3 years ago Id say.

    Wow. What a cool finish. Best Ive seen Bohs play in years. Brennan really needs to calm down tho.

    Wish Id gone now, horrible watching on TV.

    Just got back from the Drogs game. Hate to admit it, but Bohs deserved their win.

    The quality of the refereeing was the worst I have ever witnessed at an EL match - and that is saying something! In the end it became a bit of a lottery with free kicks being awarded for no apparent reason and yellow cards being needlessly waved. By half way through the second half we gave up being angry and just laughed at the farcical decisions. Stopped laughing when the clown awarded the injury time penalty, though. :(

    It's Alan Kelly what did you expect.:D Plus the refereeing in the Premier is a million times better than the muppets in the 1st Divison.:mad:

    I think a draw away to Limerick would be an really respectable result. Especially with Dundalk not being at their best in the last few games.

    Dundalk my friend might i remind you , before this game top of the league 3points clear and unbeatan. . . So while performances don't mean jack in the first division . . . It's all about grinding out the win any way you can . . Oh dundalk ended up winning 2 1 in a sloppy game.

    Alan Kelly + Match on television = Bad refereeing.

    Not the worst in the league though anymore. He has tough competition from Hancock and Tom Connolly, particularly Connolly.

    I have never seen as bad a performance from a set of officials as the Rovers Cork game at Tolka...followed by his cancelling of Cobh's goal in Drogheda the following week.

    Apparently we had eastern european officials at our game... This may or may not be true, i have a vague recollection of the mention....:confused:

    Yea we have been getting the results but the quality in the play hasn't been there so far. But the bonus is that we are still grinding out the results. Last year we were thumping teams left, right and centre for the first half a dozen games but then fell away badly.
    This season we have looked a little bit short on quality up front. Vaughan ain't good enough imo and its too early to expect Mulvenna to being doing the business every week. On the plus side Cassidy has been excellent everytime i have seen him play this year.
    Delighted we are still top of the league and as i have pointed out here before, we have played a good few tough away games already,(Longford, Shels, Fingal and now Limerick) and got good results out of each of them.

    Fabulous performance. Completely bossed Drogheda, apart from a brief spell after their ludicrously lucky goal. Bit of style about the team, despite the opposition's continued determination to snuff the joy out of football.

    Byrne shouldn't have been sent off, but Robinson should have walked for some brutal stuff, in particular his appalling assault on Conor Powell.

    Edit: two beauties - one a free kick, the other a penalty - from Killian B, and a Drogs goal I'd be embarrassed to score: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5qrJqRI9eM

    Obviously, when your proposed new stadium involves developing half of Meath you don't worry too much about how you treat opposing fans.

    Drogheda have been treating opposition fans and officials like dirt for as long as I care to remember.

    Mr Zardock in particular is a nasty piece of work.

    They are the new shels in so many ways its frightning.

    Is it possible for you to make a single post, just one, in which you don't take a snide swipe at someone ot other?

    You are getting tiresome at this stage.

    You ever hear the phrase, "if you've nothing good to say, then stfu"?

    You need to take that advice.

    Yes, I do realise the irony of this post.

    Its a legitimate comparison Des, no swiping at all.

    Spending multiples more than they are getting on wages.

    Selling a ground they don't own to property speculators

    A chief executive who was blunt to the point of pig ignorant to the opposition.

    A reputation for awful football and not getting the best out of their squad.

    Its not all that controversial Des

    decent enough, first was a very good header from a corner, second well worked move- spread the ball from right to left, winger cut inside the full back, crossed, chested down by striker to oncoming midfielder who let fly from 20 yards. pity there was no camera to capture it
