I heard that he could be back, fingers crossed, he makes a huge difference.

I'm actually looking forward to this more than I usually would due to the lack of expectation. Rovers obviously have the better team but if our lads give it their all we can give them a go.

2-1 bohs

Pal

Rovers get to sit in The Shed so they can have a better viewing angle this year of the ball hitting their net.

Ebbs

What's best about that picture is the player beaten and at fault for the goal, is now a Bohs player.

I can see a 3-0 Rovers win, first time in ages I can say that I'm confident of going out there and dominating from the start. Obviously it depends what kinda team turn up, hopefully the ones that won in sligo rather than that at bray.

No cagey scullyesque performance please, we're champions now.

Oh and I better reserve this bit of my post to reply to how our 1000 fans acted horribly, killing puppies and clubbing baby seals in dalyer.

Here we go again. Different year, same old line.

Anyone care to refresh my memory of the last time Rovers won in Dalymount ?

Think it was the first season we came back up so quite a while now.

Wouldnt go as far as to predict a win but this is the best chance we have in years but who knows what will happen.

A lot more recently than the last time Bohs beat Rovers away...

As I said on the other thread, the narrative is completely different now. Its a derby and strange things can happen, but not one Bohs player would make the Rovers squad, let alone first team. The sides on paper have never been as skewed in one direction.

I wonder did Baz fake an injury to avoid standing in front of the shed.

It's not like he doesn't have form in that regard...:

S.R.F.C.

I missed the ending of the other thread, what was the final nail in the coffin?

Anyway as said there, absolutely buzzing for this, especially because we're in the shed, and after our performance on Monday, Friday can't come quick enough

I did say the first time in ages. Every other year Bohs were one of the favourites to win the league, certainly nearly guarenteed a top 3 spot. This season is different, on paper we are the better side and our results so far have shown this too.

It's just my opinion and prediction. Rovers vs Bohs is always a bit like a cup game, anything could happen, none the less I can see us taking 3 points.

The first game under MON at Dalymount was a comprehensive defeat. As I said in the other thread, Dalymount is never an easy place to go for Rovers. It's like Cork even when they were in trouble in 2009, Rovers couldn't win there and rarely score more than one. There are difficult venues/games regardless..

TangyZizzle

Rovers to score 11.

I predict a riot.

bohsboy

Cant wait, first time in years that Bohs are underdogs. That tag will suit us.

Rovers are dreading this one. Favourites and all that....

12/5 a big price for Bohs....

I suprisingly agree. We seem to under perform against sides worse than us. Beat everyone...lose to bray etc.

No matter whos in charge of the club, be it MON, Scully, Roddy, Bucko...We always do better against good sides and sit back too much against weaker teams.

CSF

Backing the draw.

12/5 :eek: might have a nibble on that!:D

super_furry

That's a good price alright but they've overlooked one thing - I'm going to miss this game. I'll be in London on Friday and every single Bohs v Rovers game I've missed over the last six years - this will be the seventh - Rovers have won.

Is it? If anything there is very little value there. 5/4 for a Rovers win is about right though

Bohs Rovers fixtures over the years have consistently thought me one thing...... they are completely unpredictable.

League position or squad strength are meaningless in these games.

Correction - 14/5 for Bohs at bwin.com.

Has to be worth a punt after Bray last week.

But after Bray we went away to sligo and beat them two nil in what was a good performance. Like you said, I think this weeks game is too hard to call.

Come on Rovers!

Form doesn't really carry into Cup matches imo.

Doyles Corner, some lovely pubs

No where near the ground.

Where do your allegiances lie? I will assume since you are asking they're on the South side of the Liffery. As Ebbs said, nowhere near the ground.

Jelle1880

I don't have any real allegiance to either team, but I'll be in with the home fans.

Then head to the bars in the ground before, thats where the Gypos will be.

Rovers will be in the Hut or the Crossed Guns before.

Ebbs

Sorry to hear

But despite that, pubs around the ground will be packed, you'll be squished in and come match time you'll have gardai all over you, hemming you in.

My advice would be have a beer in a pub not on the liffy side of the stadium and go from there close to match time. Shouldnt have any hassle and a nice pint not in a plastic glass wouldnt go amiss

The Hut is a fine pub, we met up there last season for our Cup match against Bohs in Dalyer and there was a decent few Bohs fans in there before and after the match.

NufcNavan

One team with a big scum following against another team with an even bigger scum following. Bring it on!

TangyZizzle

That's gonna go down well.

Would you like the conversation to descend into a diatribe about even toed ungulates of the family Suidae or would you like to talk about a nice unfriendly game of football ?

We are Gypsies not Gypos !

Go to the ground bars the drink is fairly cheap and there should be abit of atmosphere alot of the pubs are closed around doyles corner. as ONYD said rovers usually take up the hut!!

super_furry

Anyone know a pub in London that will have the game tonight?

GLaDOS

Off to the pub shortly, see you on either side of the battleground gentlemen (and women)

Gillington

Anyone else watchin?

Awesome tackle by Heary there

Dave!

Bohs playin better so far, Rovers coming into it towards the end of the half though

partyndbs

both rubbish.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Bohs having the better of it in the first half, some decent counter attacks from Rovers, though. Hopefully they pick it up a bit in the second half!

Nobody's forcing you to watch it. Go watch some highlights of MLS if you're so bothered.

One of the Bohs players swearing loudly near a microphone. Will the Irish FA punish him like the English FA did Rooney??? Ahh gwan...
