Big game for us against Pats, they'll be out for revenge. If we win we can take top after our games in hand. Would take a draw.

i have a fair bit of confidence going into this one - which is a very unfamiliar feeling. . .

We're looking very light in midfield with injuries and a suspension, probably see a few of the A League brought in.

Quigley subbed after one of the most scumbaggery tackles i have ever seen, ref hadnt got the bottle to send him off so Fenlon took him off.

Sickening tackle, Coughlan gone to hospital with a brace on his leg

Hancock bottled it as he always does. How the hell do you only have 2 minutes added time at the end of the half?. Coughlan was down for 4 minutes with that injury at least.

This is awesome! Have to keep the heads second half. Bohs are up to nothing.

Scandalous tackle by Quigley, actually felt sick after that one

dreamers75

Coughlan open fracture on his Tibbula, pretty much finished playing football for this season and possibly ever.

Anyone know the full rules on what i can say about that tackle and quigley?

Easily the worst tackle i have ever seen in my life, it was vile. Not pleasant of Setanta to keep showing it. thankfully their crappy pixelatted coverage hides the fact his leg is barely attached anymore.

Hancock is not fit to referee. Although I didn't see the incident tonight, his usual standard of refereeing is shocking, to put it nicely.

Interesting to hear Barry Murphy was shite tonight for Bohs while over in Tallaght Mannus had a great game for rovers and pulled off some unbelievable saves.

Some top-drawer saves from him tonight.

Chambers scored in the 88th minute, then Fat Boy in the 89th.

Has to be one of the most open leagues for a long while and I think Fingal will be right in the mix.

Sorry to hear about the Pat's lad. Hope it's not career-threatening.

Career ending is his mates who with him hospital opinion, shame really showed promise. it wasnt a tackle, it was UFC take down, honeslty dont know what quigley was thinking, played for us for years and never once tackled anyone. shocking tackle.


Bohs keeper is easily the dodgiest keeper i have ever seen he looks like a pussy, in 3 games the guy doesnt command his box. Something our keeper couldnt do last season but this season is the best keeper in the league

antomorro-sei

Great win.

Feel very sorry for Coughlan.

Surprised (albeit happy ) to see that he's doing so badly, but I do think he's a quality keeper.

Pippo Inzaghi was born in an offside position...and Glen Crowe was born on the scoresheet against Rovers. He's worse than Caulfield, Coyle or Morley ever were.

Calling him a fat cunt when he comes on is like drinking too much: highly enjoyable but you know you will end up paying for it.

Yep. Could have gone either way though. Youths found it much harder to break Shels down and were missing Jimmy Keohane's spark of creativity. Shels, on the other hand, hit the woodwork at least twice maybe three times and had a penalty well saved. Having said that, though, they deservedly had a man sent off and should have had another when Youths won their penalty (I don't know who they were, my knowledge of LoI is woeful compared to 5 years ago).

Oh well, 2 excellent wins against top opposition on the bounce. Hopefully we can keep it going. Tonights win was even greater since we were missing arguably our best player in Keohane. Hard to think this could be his last season with us

Four times, we hit the post four times.

I knew it was an obscene number alright. Deano Broaders was woeful at LB for us as well. Looked really nervous. Who was it that got sent off for you lot? And who was the lad that commited the foul for the penalty?

Was my first away game with Youths and I have to say I was astonished by the amount of singing we did. Excellent atmosphere from our end. Some of the kids supporting Shels though were disgusting! Spitting at us and everything (although one of our fans wasn't exactly a saint either!). I don't remember anything like that happening when I was frequently going to away games with Bray (used to live there).

He was worse to be honest presuming we're talking about that racist/sexist scumbag with the cockney accent, I was the chap who ended up having a go at him because I couldn't listen to him anymore, and at least the idiots that call themselves Shels fans got kicked out for what they did. And that chap who was spitting on the Wexford flag will never be allowed in Tolka again, I can assure you of that. The cretin.

I have a feeling that is the end for Dermot Keely now, surely he will walk or be sacked.

Great game up in Tallaght, good attacking game from both sides. Fingal had the better of the chances and Mannus made some great saves from O'Neill.

Have a feeling this it will be Pats year unless the get some injuries or suspensions at the back.

It is as yet unconfirmed, but he has gone, with Matthews coming in as our new manager. Should be announced during the week.

Yeah, your left back was a definite weak link alright, in the first half almost everything Shels created came down that side.

Clarke was sent off for us, not sure who made the foul for the penalty, I was down the other end for that half and could barely see straight for the rage consuming me. Or was it depression?

Yeah it was a bit funny at first but then everyone realised what an idiot he sounded. He definitely had a few beers on him, though because one of the lads I was with was saying he's usually a bit of a wind-up as opposed to full-on aggressive.

To be honest, I'd rather the Shels fans that were spitting at us were kids. If they were adults then I would have been very, very worried. Still a horrid thing to see at a game though. Never seen that anywhere.

Yup horrible stuff altogether, if its any consolation I hadn't seen them before at Tolka, and with our attendances recently you'd nearly know every face:D

Keely was going to walk earlier this month but the board begged him to stay, now he's moving to over look the schoolboy section with Matthews coming in as manager, as CSF said, it's all but confirmed but should be wrapped up mid-week.

Great second half of football. Easily the most enjoyable game of the season. 1-1 was a fair result although we could have nicked it at the end.

Terrible incident in the Bohs Pats match.

Mark "thick bollix" Quigley went over the top of the ball and two footed into Gareth Coughlan. Hancock less than 5 yards away only books him.:rolleyes:

Then hands out 2 more yellows for handbags. Meanwhile the young fella is being stretchered off to hospital.

Quigley and Hancock hang your heads in shame.

artanevilla

Barry Murphy has been very poor for us. Results this year have shown how important Brian was, but I suppose he probably is one of the best keepers of all time to play in the league.

Still the best keeper in the league on his day....when things are going his way.

Mannus has more mental strength and good attitude in his big toe than Baz.

Yeah he is a real dick alright! No one likes him afaik, except his two little pals it seems. His excuse was "sure im just enjoying myself":rolleyes: yeah at the expensive of others u twat. Think he was the guy that got us in trouble before with racist shiite. sitting well away from him in future. I dont even think he was drinking!

Crazy match though, had a bet on the draw, youths will always get the result you dont expect!

Murphy told coughlan to get up and S Byrne went for him, thats why both were booked.

Roar

enjoyable game in the rsc, a game that city should have won. how that goal in the second half was flagged offside was beyond me.

waterford have struggled since george came in and switched to 4-5-1.

the hell was Ross Hogan doing for the own goal?

Anto then got booked for fek all down in the corner a few minutes later too - linesman on the stand side was no help whatsoever

Still feeling sick over that thuggery(sp) from Quigley, I can't believe I was defending him when the lads were booing early in the game - look at the replay, coughlan sat up in shock looking at what used to be his leg, poor young lad

In fairness, Anto made a ridiculously stupid lunge in the corner that time. Jumped in with both his feet off the ground, but Kenna jumped out of the way luckily enough.

Was sickening seeing yound Coughlan trying to move his legs. Shocking stuff.

We were in charge of the first half... then we fell apart at the back. Pats bossed the second and could have added a few more.

Disgusting tackle from Quigley, nobody wants that sort of **** on their team.

Zebra3

Must have been a rule change during the week that I missed.

Apparently it's ok to be six yards inside the box when the opposition are taking a penalty.

Wasn't aware of that Mr Doyle and I bow to your superior knowledge of our game.



:rolleyes:

Happy enough with the point in the end. Cracking match, particularly the first half. UCD are a good footballing side, always looked to play it on the ground, their keeper nearly always started attacks with a throw to one of his defenders, which was refreshing to see.

Corry impressed me a lot. Was always looking to dink the ball in behind the Galway defence; faded a bit in the second.

Galway played well. They dominated after the early goal and deserved to be in front 2-1. Even in the second half the dominated possession, I reckon both sides were fairly jacked running around in that heat though - would've been difficult to maintain thos srots of levels for the full 90. That said, UCD looked dangerous any time they got the ball moving.

Flood was industrious as ever. Foley (surprisingly!) had a great game. Besides the usual hustle and bustle he actually played a number of neat passes. Bobby Ryan was hot and cold, played a lovely reverse pass over the top of the UCD defence in the second half but was kept quiet for most of the game.

Good to see O'Donnell back after suspension too. The side need him so much to knit things together. It's just those small bits of composure he shows throughout the game - taking an extra touch past a player, turning into space, spreading the ball wide - than can make a huge difference. Particularly as most of our goals come from the front men.

Barry Ryan was solid again, apart from UCD's equaliser. Why he didn't just backheel it out or thump it out of play I don't know. He made some spectacular saves in the match, his concentration just lets him down at times. Unfortunately it resulted in a goal this time.

Matthews is by far a better manager, you get the feeling from Keely that he doesnt give a feck most times . You need more than screaming and shouting to be a good manager.

I'm no fan of Keely but if he's one thing, he's a winner.

It breaks his heart not to be winning things.

I'm not sure if anyone else has won LoI titles with three diferent clubs, and that's something that he has has done.

Anyway, seems like fun times ahead.......

I've just seen Quigley's tackle on Setanta..it doesn't look as bad as the descriptions of it from the main camera angle tbh. The end result does though
