Gav, what's up you and some of the other Shels lads sometimes? This bitter off-topic shit? Do you think if I got busted for a drugs offence tomorrow my employer would somehow be culpable? No problem with barbs in the football, management or supporters vein but this kind of stuff is embarrassing. As is the little coterie of Bohs and Sligo thankers that follow every such post.

Well the busted drug-dealer was just to add a bit more to my response to ONYD's response, that's all. This bitter off-topic sh*t is sh*t indeed, but maybe instead of just picking on myself you can grab maybe ONYD too for it or any other users for it too stovelid.

So you want new fans but they havn't really arrived and then stayed in 100 years. Fingal might well be the same but as a new team trying to make a stamp on the North County Dublin area compared with a team trying the same in North Dublin for 100 years one might make an assumption that Fingal may be more likely to gain new fans from say Swords than Bohs or Shels can from their respective areas.

Bohsboy reported for failing to slavishly thank Gavin's response to ONYD in post# 755.

For what? Its only you and the gypos trawling through the media for nonsense. The rest of us are talking about signings

At least the mirror article that broke it admitted in the body of the story that he wasn't a Rovers coach at the time. My understanding is that an official complaint / legal action is in the pipeline, best leave it there.

GON as a direct replacement for Dessie. KS or KK as backup for Twigg.

That was not the point that was being discussed. The claim was being made that SF would pick up new fans around Dalyer and catchment area.

And as we play closer to Swords than SF now do, sure we'd be more likely to pick up new fans out there.

1) What happend was a guy was trying to rob a skooter thing and it hit your one during the process- Since he has been charged.
2) Yes, they were scum up in Derry and subsequently banned.
3) I don't remember number 3 ( not saying it didn't happen just don't remember)
4) Rovers have:
Attacking a carer of a guy in a wheelchair
Invasion of Dalyer and it's pitch after a match
Invasion of the shed and attacking boys infront of their fathers and being cheered on by your fans.
Throwing fireworks and bangers on the pitch
Riots in Oriel (twice)
Breaking a wall in Bray after an attempted pitch invasion
Racist chanting
Throwing a bottle at a match official
Attacking the Pats' keeper.

Resulted number of bans from you shower= 0,000,000. Your board condone the action of your fans and it's a disgrace. We've several people banned from incidents that happend involving , now ex, fans. We've had people banned for a lot less then what yous have done. So Jesus Christ shut up and get back onto rumours

Does every LOI thread have to turn into a sniping contest? It's really petty oneupmanship that's probably putting a lot of people in here off following the league.

Opposition fans are argueing shock, horror.

If you can't take a bitta slagging then you shouldn't be a football fan. Maybe it's no the same getting slagged when on a barstool!

Reading those Liverpool/Chelsea/United threads that inevitably get locked has put me right off the premiership. That and the stadiums are too far away from my house, also the terrible finances at West Ham and the likes. Oh and Stoke play terrible football aswell, puts me right off.

BOHtox

All the money, diving, cheating, hooliganism, ticket prices, bad football (ie stoke) put me off English football. Also what Bohsman said perfectly especially about stadia being too far fmy house.

cson

Look that attitude doesn't do either of us any favours. I followed your club while I was in Dublin last year, got to around 10 games in Dalyer and I enjoyed it. But to be quite honest the slagging and pettiness about off the pitch stuff would put me off posting in any of the LOI threads on the forum long term.

Edit: And the attitude the two of you have to me presumably following Arsenal is yet another negative.

Arsenal play good football, used to be a big United fan but nothing against Arsenal tbh. Passionately hate Liverpool but who doesnt?

Most LOI fans on here are fine, a few probably **** stir too much by times and it sometimes degenerates then. Id say the fact that its the off season has most to do with it.

That's fair enough, I had a look at the thread and the last 3/4 pages are basically Bohs/Sligo/Shels/Rovers having a cut at each other about players getting jailed/riots/cocaine stories.

Yea, the sane posters tend to disappear at times like that. Absolutely nothing to discuss about Bohs are far as on pitch stuff goes unfortunately.

Apres Match and others playing a fundraiser in the Olympia for Bohs on the 19th February.

Yea, we're trying to sell him so making sure his wages are paid on time. He has great potential but the amount of chances he misses is shocking. Even on the last day of the season he missed enough open goals that could have led to us winning the league on goal difference.

There's some other very good young players at the club who will hopefully get their chance this season, will be refreshing if we get to see good ambitious young players instead of the overpaid primadonnas we've had over the last few years.

Yea, very good deal from the Olympia apparently. The vast majority of the €30 ticket price will be profit if it sells out.

A few of the acts have contractual obligations/are not 100% confirmed so cant be advertised.

Wouldn' say that, its by and large the same squad that were muck for the first half of the season, went through a little purple patch, and went back to being muck. If there is relegation this year I fully expect them to be involved in the fight.

It seems Raf Cretaro has had some interest from Derry as well as Sligo, Derry having a bigger budget next season than anticipated? Been linked with a good few players.

What about Sligo's budget? :eek: Is there any concern from any of the Sligo lads on here about the money the club is spending and the possibility that it may put the club in jeopardy in a couple of years? Should Sligo be putting any money they have to better use? Is there any chance in getting a sensible response to these questions?

Was on the rumours thread on our forum about a month ago. Haven't heard anything else since then.

Jason McGuinness and Ken Oman being mentioned now. Who knows who we'll end up with as our centre back partnership. Unlikely Burns will resign so it'll mean replacing 3 of our 4 defenders. Not great for any kind of continuity.

That's the team that finished the season. They changed managers and signed a few in July and really improved. I'd say they'll be better than last year. Which is only good for the league

Here is your sensible response. We so far have only signed 11 players, most of whom are on quite small wages. The reports about our spending from fans of other clubs (shams mainly) are massively exaggerated.

are budget is the same as last years if not a bit more.all the players were offered reduced terms for this season.if you look we have only 11 players.with us being one of the only full time clubs left in the country of course were going to be linked with loads of players.the club is being run the best it ever has being.(waits for people to use the claims of cash under the table and no tickets to see the game) we have sold more season tickets in december than we did all last year.the 400 club is not far away from 500 members.the suporters trust have a €2 a week scheme that has being running for the last season or two that has being very popular.we have a new general manager that came on board near the end of last season,whose main job is to increase advertising which seem to be very reasonable.they can be found on the club website.wont know for definitive if we broke even or made a small profit till the annual agm in around march.i hope that was sensible response for you.

Didn't the Aviva sell over 30k tickets @ ~€10 a pop too? That'd be 300k give or take. Could easily land 50k as a share from the gate I'd say.

Fairly sure the FAI stopped giving a cut of the gate receipts a couple of years ago when they bumped up the prize money.
