Can't get over to Galway tonight so sod's law dictates a victory* with the team recovering their shite form just in time to get leathered in front of me by Shels on Monday night.
*double reverse psychology
If you watch it on tv you should be able to ensure the run of form continues.
i think pats will be 0-0

So I went down to Dalymount this evening for the first time and this is what I thought;
Ground: Dalymount is pretty impressive. Granted only the main stand was open, it's a nice stadium and I imagine its a rocking place when full. Sorta like the way no one sat down in the stand and that it was pretty much a terrace. Although it's ruining the actual seats themselves cos loads of people stand on them. €10 in for students is about right but I think they were asking for €20 for adults which I thought was a little steep. Pretty nice bar/clubhouse inside too; big flatscreens with the Galway - Rovers game on it. Overall 7/10
Atmosphere: Overall it was good. Plenty of voice in the crowd with a good few songs being belted out. The standing aspect made for a better atmosphere too. One thing I can't get around my head is why some fans feel the need to sing some songs in a kind of faux English accent and why they were singing "we all hate leeds scum" Maybe I picked it up wrong but it certainly sounded like that which was a bit weird tbh. The only other thing I will say is that a lot of the people there concentrated on the singing/banter first and the match second. Which is fine, but for me the match always comes first. Overall 6/10
Match: It was very poor imo. Considering Boh's are the champions - if they play like tonight on a regular basis they won't be winning anything. Then again maybe I'm expecting too high of a standard? In any case, Boh's flitted between long balls, playing it across the Sligo back four and interpersed it with a few [very poor in general] crosses. Having said all this; had Boh's a decent finisher they would have won this. A couple of half chances and one on ones that a player of quality would hoover up. The red I felt was deserved, Byrne I think was in on goal but for the foul. Arguably the Bohs CB should have seen red too; Sligo's 9 turned him and was in on goal too albeit a bit further out. Sligo's keeper played very well made a few excellent stops and they played well for an away team - put it up to Bohs without ever really threatening [one or two half chances, best of these coming in the first minute] and didn't give anything away at the back. Bohs 7 was particularly poor imo; can't cross for ****e and seems to pride himself on taking players on and going nowhere. Should have scored in a one on one too. I'm sure I just caught a poor game and that the standard is better than what was on display tonight. Overall 3/10
I'll give Boh's another rattle some other night but I'd be keen to try somewhere else first. On over to Tolka Park next time I think.0 -

You should have sat down by the Sligo fans. You would have got a much better feeling for the game.
Never understood why bohs vocal support don't stand in the Des Kelly stand(behind the goal) like most vocal supporters do around the world.
Bohs were poor tonight. But they were like that for much of last season. They have lots of phyiscally strong players but lack a creative spark. That really shows when Killian Brennan is out. But you could see that they have made additions to address this. Higgins, Quigley and Cretaro are all quality attacking players.
From where I was watching it was a heroic performance from the Sligo team and supporters tonight more than a poor Bohs performance.
btw. It was €15 to get in tonight.0 -
It'd have been Hoops scum I'd imagine. And our next home game is Finn Harps next Friday at Tolka.
That could well have been it actually.Would ya not give Rovers a lash?
Tallaght is way too far out for me I'm afraid.applehunter wrote: »cson

It was a lot of kids really doing most of the singing. They were pretty into it to be fair. I wouldn't call it a heroic Sligo performance by any means; they held their own and defended well without ever looking like they were in trouble. Bohs just didn't have the creativity to generate clear cut chances and when they did generate decent chances they couldn't finish them. Knocked it around well but I was pulling my hair out and some of the **** they did as well.
Edit: The ticket prices said €20 for the Jodi Stand iirc.0 -

Always made me laugh at LOI matches. Especially when they'd be the same bores droning on about barstoolers or some other tedious sh*t in the pub afterwards.:pac:0 -

Try fingal also. The ground and atmosphere may not be what Bohs is, but we do try and play some good football.
Great game tonight with us beating Drogheda 4 goals to 1, very entertaining.
Again student is €10.
I would recomend the Shamrock rvs game on bank holiday monday, should be a good game and is also a way of seeing two dublin teams for the price of one.0 -

Heh, he wasn't the only one. Was at Terryland myself last night.
Disappointing, mainly for the poor organisation imo. O'Donnell was the best player on the ball for United, yet after half time he was put in the support striker role and he never saw the ball again as the defence started hoofing it without him to pass to in the middle. Few of the lads didn't seem bothered at times either. Rovers were never really worked as a result.0 -

Actually thought it was the best performance we've put in, just lacking finishing, normally Byrne would have buried those chances, though Brush made some great saves. Thought Sligo played some decent football, just lacking a bit up front.Bohs were poor tonight. But they were like that for much of last season. They have lots of phyiscally strong players but lack a creative spark. That really shows when Killian Brennan is out. But you could see that they have made additions to address this.

Disappointed we didn't win but we've had it coming after 3 close shaves. With Pats also drawing it's not too badCake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Dick Brush; the best keeper in the league since Murphy went off to Ipswich.:cool:
The game last week was very very VERY poor tbf. Compared to the League Cup semi that we played in Dalyer it was shocking. I felt that Byrne may have taken a tumble for the Red, but we shall see on Monday, it was a second yellow and not a straight red that Peersy got I suppose we can't complain too much. If we didn't go down to 10 men, it would have been a very interesting last half hour, but still a point form Dalymount is without a doubt a point gained for us.
Now, to beat Pats tomorrow.
