Nothing wrong with flares once used responsibly. Personally think clubs should be allowed have 'dedicated pyrotechnicians'- for want of a less qualified term!

Basically only a few people are allowed use flares, these people are vetted and attend a safety course before being granted permission.

That makes sense so no.

Afaik we have paid our own fines at times not all of them.

Think Rovers fans pay their own fines too.

I think the 'we pay our own fines' thing is a dangerous policy because you'll always get some scrotes who think flares are great craic who will have no intention of ever paying the money back. It is grand with the BD and whatever decent people there are at Pats, Rovers and whoever else, but I don't think it works as a carte blanche policy.

Fairly sure the ones we didnt pay for were scrotes.

As i said on pats forum, if a flare costs €10 then add 50 for every one. So SEI are paying 60 for every flare.

Clubs shouldnt be paying fines on behalf of fans who clearly know flares are not allowed.

Reading the match reports yesterday in the star and noticed the attendances at Friday nights games were appalling all round.

Shels Sligo 1214
Pats bray 1094
Derry bohs 1200
Ucd cork 170
Drogs sham n/a
Athlone mervue 582
Waterford harps 355
Salthill Longford 100

I don't think I've ever seen it as bad, it really is crisis situation. Roughly 4000 attending 7 games in total? It's worse than the 80s.

Copper_pipe

1249 was the attendance at the limerick game

bohsboy

170 at ucd v cork is pitiful. Not having a go cork fans but surely there could be more than 100 living in Dublin? As for ucd.....well, it's an age old argument.

AgileMyth

Rovers, Cork and Shams all away. Always going to be a bad weekend for attendances.

Only disappointing one there is Derry v Bohs. The rest are to be expected. Even though on the surface they are top, Pats have generally a low (but regular) fan base in terms of numbers

Our attendances this year have been poor considering how well we are doing.

And they seem to be dropping. I'd say our avg is now around the 1500 mark, maybe used to be 2000-2500 going back a few years.

Glasgow City Council threatened to reduce the capacity of Celtic Park if certain measures weren't taken against the GB.
"How would closing a stand change anything??" Very easy. If that type of smoke continued in the Main Stand then they would close that one next. If you think the Gardaí and Dublin City Council are going to put up with that, I think you are mistaken. They're not going to wait until someone with respiratory problems croaks before they take action.

Different is, in Scotland they introduced a legal document on football matches last year, hence how the GB were screwed over and ended up boycotting matches, etc...

That doesn't have anything to do with what I was referring to with regard to Glasgow City Council. It's a health and safety issue. I was just saying that GCC tried to impose a reduced crowd capacity on Celtic Park because they deemed some of the actions of the GB as a safety risk. Similarly, Dublin City Council could try to impose something similar at Tolka Park if they deemed some of the actions of BD as a safety issue.

I'd be surprised if Dublin City Council even know anything about it.

Laughable.

SDCC own Tallaght Stadium and don't even think about stuff like that with regard to their own property.

It's not Zyklon B that's been let off. :rolleyes:

Lucan Bohs

3 ea sports cup ties tonight!

Bohs V Derry
Drogheda V Cork
Limerick V Sligo

At least it's a pint.

In some places when Rovers visited in 2006, it was €6 for a can of refreshing soft drink.

Or felt like it anyway..

Our bad season continuing unabated. I think after our heavy defeat to Sligo on Friday could spell the end for Tommy Dunne. The payoff of which will cause of major trouble. Wouldn't surprise me if we are in the 1st division again in the next 2 years.

Hopefully Bohs can bring that sort of fight to Dalymount tonight. Always going to be tough against Derry who essentially own this cup. :pac:

Probably one of the agreements put in place before Thomand allowed Limerick to play there.

I'd take a thrashing tonight in exchange for a scrappy 1-0 win on Friday. 2 thrashings are probably more likely though

Drogheda could easily beat us 3 or 4 nil tonight.

Oh god that might have been optimistic.

Oh dear. Not a full strength side out. But still 3 down by ht is a mess.

Pighead

Drogheda cruising in Hunky Dory's Park against Cork. 3-0 at half time. Highlights of the half included a cracking opening goal from Marks and Tommy Dunne screaming at Denis Behan "For fcuk sake Denis, do you think you might try and break into a fcuking run once this evening?"

Behan's glare back to Dunne was pretty entertaining as well.

Sligo up 2-0 @HT

Scorer of the first goal was booked after celebration. Looked like a nazi salute

Sadly.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Derry City.
Bohs shift two late goals to City. Probably a blessing in disguise as they need to focus on staying up.

Drogheda 3 - 0 Cork City
Cork with yet another heavy defeat on the road.

Limerick City 0 - 4 Sligo Rovers
4 different scorers, including Danny North,on the score sheet for the Bit O' Red.

The_Kew_Tour

Not looking forward to the Sligo game on Friday.

Going be a hostile reception for Tommy.

Ha. Thought it was North that got booked after the goal. Either way it was for complaining that we didn't get a penalty for the blatant handball that lead to the corner.

Good performance. Great to see North back on the scoresheet. Would have been a much larger scoreline but for Barry Ryan in goals.

Your man Axel would want to **** off to the Gah. Thats twice against us he's punched the ball past the defender. Cheat.

Did that actually happen? If so, LOL.

Behan is a waster.

Despite the loss, I thought Bohs looked good last night. Haven't heard that many rounds of applause from the home fans in a while. Missing key players but played some great stuff at times.

Our build up play is quite decent but we need a finisher. Scully is not a finisher. Looks scared to put his head in and really attack the ball.

Lot of positives from those last two games against Derry. Ok, we lost both games but there's small signs there that perhaps we could turn the corner... Especially at home where we've been absolute poison.

Karl Moore looked great again last night. Seems to be growing with every game. Easily our most creative player.

That right back who came on for Nangle looked great too. Made his debut. Zayn SomethingOrOther. Good strength and looks pacy.

Can see that group of 10-15 lads by corner flag having field day.

Yep happened midway through the first half. Poor old Behan had an awful night in fairness. I don't think I'm allowed to call him fat so I'll just say he looked a tad unfit. He was hauled off after an hour.

In fairness to Cork they put in a decent shift in the second half. Would have been easy to let the heads drop and lose 5 or 6-0 but they battled hard in the second half. Daryl Murphy again showed his class. Best Cork player by a mile. Such a good player.

Yup. 1 available centre half as well. Can only see a heavy defeat. Then away to Shells the following week. They will certainly be looking at us as a great oppurtunity for 3 points.

Behan has always looked that way. He is an awful player and should never have been signed.

Do you mean Danny Murphy, or Daryl Horgan?

Djilali has another impressive game I hear? Good to see him hitting form just before the European games. He has lost a good bit of weight too.

Hes quality. Took him a while to settle in but you could always see the ability was there. Still a lot more to come.
Hes our new corner taker too. Joey misses one game and we score two corners!
