LOI: League Of Ireland Fixtures (WEEK 17) July 6-8 2012

spiralism

0-0 in Flancare tonight, pretty decent result for Athlone, has to be said...Still ground lost on waterford though for third place but that was always going to happen...

upandcumming

0-0. Not great but I'll take it, especially with Limerick taking their usual loss against Waterford. Extratime hit the nail on the head, we need a real striker. 8 goals all year from our strikers is ****e.

Mushy

Great 1-1 away from home, could easily have won it, could have lost it...don't care, its a god point.

Have you actually got a point to make?

I'm sure people on here can look up the attendances if they want.

Or is it a case of "damn Shels won, need to jibe at them"? :rolleyes:

Well for supposedly the greatest run club in the world and all, you would think that there would be a few more than 801. That is a pathetic attendance for one of the supposed bigger clubs in the league with a huge catchment area.

So bitter.

Don't suppose anyone knows if there's any available commentary for Cork V Bohs.

Who said that?

Wow. Just wow. Rovers just cannot close out a game. It didn't help that Stephen Kenny stood on the sideline like bloody Bagpuss even as Pats turned the screw. And that his tactical masterstroke was to sub off McCabe, one player consistently doing useful stuff with possession and drawing fouls, despite the fact that Twigg was absolutely knackered.

I can't fault the players, they all put a shift in, even Brennan looked less like a giraffe on the ball in the second half. And if you asked before KO, I'd have taken a draw. I'm just sick of us being unable to kill off games when we need to.

Also, was it me or is there a really bad vibe in the Rovers squad at the moment? There seemed to be a lot of backbiting between the players on the field, subs stalk back to the bench without even acknowledging Kenny, etc. Wife was convinced something had happened in the dressing room at half time, because they all came out looking well p1ssed off.

Good lads Bohs. We stay 6th.

The_Kew_Tour

Balls to that.

3 points would have been sweet. Should of had penalty ourselves too I heard

bohsman

Should really be beating our reserves either way. 8 changes from our Euro game.

dan1895

Was thinking "at least Bohs dropped points" but then they both dropped points so happy days. Good weekend for us for a change.

Eh 126 Dundalk fans apparently. Two busloads and people that made their own way. Compared to other years maybe that is "next to nothing" but still a lot more travelling fans than most teams bring to Oriel.

Crowds are down all around the country but I don't think you can blame the opposition's fans.

There's times at the Brandywell when the opposition fans could fit into a 7 seater;)

Lucan Bohs

Get in there, delighted

Nothing better than last minute equalisers. Here's hoping the lads who were rested do a good job on Thursday evening.

Last minute winners?

What a load of **** that was.

BKC

Sickening conceding a last minute penalty!

applehunter

City conceded territory and possession to that very limited Bohs side in the last 15 minutes. Do we not learn from our mistakes?

3 handball decisions in 2nd half alone. One would have been generous but other 2 were regulation pens.

Very frustrating.

poor tonight ..got a draw

All together now....."There's only one Stephen Kenny. Only one Stephen Kenny......"

He took that well.

Good finish, muted celebrations though.

Serious question though, I thought highlights couldn't be shown until after MNS.

Our last minute peno https://fbcdn-video-a.akamaihd.net/cfs-ak-ash4/v/441378/5/10151882189645048_23786.mp4?oh=d421cc479f88607e2c613ca51f41e2ea&oe=4FF9F920&__gda__=1341782304_6a7c55417a6d2f953d4c5405daa0df31

Disaster to concede late and throw away three points

Should have had the game wrapped up by half-time, and then Davin (who was poor) missed two great chances to seal the game. From there we were asking to be punished. Morrissey and Dunleavy came off with injuries and the whole confidence we had was shattered, felas began to panic and dropped deeper and deeper. We had a few shouts for handball, one I thought could have been given but really no real complains they weren't. Peno at the end was dead right, what was Murray playing at?! The Bohs player was heading away from goal and a fella that was on the pitch two minutes cost us the game with an inconcievable tackle given the circumstances.

We're 10 unbeaten but have picked up a lot of draws and definitely didn't have the same attacking presence as we did last week (Duh, we scored two less goals!). It was a point dropped but Bohs have seriously improved since we played them last and in the end it was one ridiculous decison by Murray that cost us the game. So for that reason I'm still optimistic heading upto Sligo, we'll definitely need to give a Shels a good rattle at home regardless of whether we can get a point in Sligo, caus we're stagnating in the table

gimmick

We had enough chances in that game to win 4 matches. Awful finishing. But the same old problems again of sitting back on a lead when we are not a good side defensively.

The penalty looked very harsh, and we should have had 2 ourselves. But as above, we wasted numerous opportunities so cannot "blame" the ref for the draw.

Shame that there was more incident after the game than during. Bohs fans tore pictures off the wall in the Horsehsoe and hopped the frames off the ground. I heard a few tried to hop the bar in the Beer Garden, and there was a running brawl in Ballyphehane Park up the road from the ground. I despair of both our own and other twits who get up to that shít.

Afraid to say but my mates granddad in his 70's was struck by stone after the game.

Nothing serious, but not exactly type of thing you like to hear about.

From what my mate texts twas only handful of people. Just wrong place at wrong time.

It appears they can unless it's Shamrock Rovers.

We were not allowed show highlights either back when we actually had lads recording them.

I heard all about the plans for the brawl in the park post-game after overhearing during the 1st half a bunch of teens & tweens in the st. Anne's planning for such an event and been all rather excited about it. Bless 'em, their parents must be proud.

Nothing to do with the club I guess, if you went to a match with a camera and filmed stuff it would be up to the FAI to report it to youtube or whatever.

RTE showed the goal last night so fair game afaik.

ah he was only joking. Last week he said he disagreed with the mid season break and the lads in the studio disagreed. Devlin joked about the lads in the studio knowing more than him and his 40 years of football experience.

He did the same to Tony O'Donoghue during the game in Sligo.

Started moaning about how he had a small squad, and then had a go off the MNS team. 'Sher what do I know I'm only 40 years in football?' he said as the programm cuts back to Rico who's been in football since the 60's. Absolute langer

No interview from Stephen Kenny!

Rico wasn't in the studio last week though. He was obviously referring to the likes of Sadlier etc who were the ones making the point the other week.

After seeing Kenny's cringefest interview after the humiliation his team took from Bohs, i'm not surprised he didn't give an interview. I'm sure though, it was in protest against Sadlier's criticism on MNS the week before. Kenny made a fool of himself in the papers afterwards, no need to do it again i suppose. Probably the best decision he's made all season!

At least he can keep his squad sober for derbies.

In fairness, Sadlier overstepped the line slightly but Kenny should be giving interviews still. Or even send out Glass.

It's grand though, we have plenty of full backs in reserve!!



I don't think Sadlier overstepped any line, in fairness. He gave his opinion. He's entitled to it. What Pat's winning nothing when Sadlier was CEO has to do with Shams defending like the over 70's team in Fr Ted, i don't know!!

Ironic that Sadlier hired Kenna and gave him more than enough time.

He's learned his lesson so. Man of experience!

Corholio

I dont think Kenny or Sadlier embarrassed themselves actually. Sadlier criticised Kenny, which he's entitled to as a pundit, and Kenny responded with Sadlier's less than impressive role as Pat's CEO, in terms of winning things. I think Kenny is entitled to a rebuttal.

geeky

Just read Kenny's comments now actually. I think he had a point on Tony O’Donoghue (surely he could have checked with Rovers before putting that rumour out) but slagging off Sadlier for expressing an opinion is a bit much. "Criticising and taking the angle" is exactly what pundits are there for, and having a title under your belt isn't a prerequisite for having a valid opinion.

stovelid

I think advocating a manager's sacking is a tiny bit over the line. Not badly so but enough that Kenny is entitled to have a swipe back.
