Sure we get to play Rovers next. That's 3 points for us.

That's the bad news for Bohs, we've yet to play Shels, UCD or Bray..

2 horse race now for the league.

3 horse race for the 2 spots at the bottom.

I am glad to say we have nothing to play for.

UCD are still in danger if you ask me, which your probably not to be fair.

Well we've been trying for several months to throw our title away. Mission accomplished now.

Dundalk were by far the better team tonight. Although, the way we played, thats not saying a whole lot. Disappointed to see us surrender it without a whimper. The injuries all year haven't helped but thats no excuse for the consistent ****e performances.

Fair play to Dundalk. Great fans and a very good team who really wanted it more than us tonight. Hope they go on and win it now but don't think Pats will be caught.

Time to build for next year now.

If we give away stupid goals like we did last night it could be a great night for Dundalk fans.

Right again.

That was glorious last night. Absolutely fúcking glorious.

No panic after two one goal defeats to the top two sides.

UCD looking safe. They should hit 30 points which none (definitely not two anyway) of the three lower sides will reach.

Bohs certainly got Shamrock on a good weekend with all their suspensions and managed to make the most of it.

Two cup games then Shamrock in the league at home. There will be no excuses if we don't get anything from that. Pats host Bohs and Drogheda host Bray that night so a chance to push back up the table.

Shels much better than 2 times we played them.

Rubbish, sham have been crap for weeks.

Laughing at these "expected results" for shels. We're playing Pats next week and I certainly won't be "expecting" bohs to lose. You're running out of games to be expecting and happy with defeats.

Rovers will bounce back at some stage. Could be Shels getting it.

Wouldn't have been too hard given how poor we were in those two matches.

Rovers will bounce back next week, no doubt. Against Sheriff.

We've Bohs, Drogheda, and UCD all still to play at home. 30 points is attainable and a tally I'd expect to see any side safe.

So you lot have been dirt all year yet you don't expect to lose to the most in form side in the country at the moment? You got to realise that Bohs are sh*t now (as are Shels) and you have to expect to lose to teams that are vastly superior.

Defeatist attitude.

Send in a list of games next season that you wish to forfeit to save the obvious pointless energy of playing. :rolleyes:

What a silly comment

dan1895

As a fan, not a player. No sane person would have seen anything but a Pats win last night.
When the unexpected wins come along they are all the sweeter.

Its a ridiculous comment actually, you telling me that all Shels fans "should" have expected to lose last night? All fans well most anyway would have expected to pick up points, theres no point in going if you dont

There is a point. You can hope without being deluded. We went there hoping to get a result, but not expecting to.

dan1895

I did expect us to lose last night. It was the last thing I wanted but I expected it. Some people are going on as if I'm happy with that.

Firstly, each person on here is posting their own opinion. No Shels fan on here speaks for all other fans in the club and likewise with posters who follow other clubs.

Secondly, I expected us to lose last night in that when we played Deportivo in 2004, I expect us to lose then as well. However those expectations don't stop me from going to games and getting behind the team. For what's it worth I expected us to lose last week as well. I don't however expect the players to have that attitude though.

I'm watching football long to be realistic about what to expect. What I hope to happen however can sometimes be completely different.

So when Dundalk basically gave up last season and prepared for the playoff, they didn't prioritise games..

There's a difference between priorities with the fans and the players though.

Every match we play I hope/expect us to win or draw. It's completely delusional. But most football fans are completely illogical, biased and one-sided when it comes to their own team.

Expectations and hopes are two different things.

From what I've read here I'd say you had a sizeable bet on it.

I very rarely gamble and have never bet on or against Shels.

Some celebrations last night. I'm sure everyone has at some stage felt how we (bohs fans) felt last night. Definitely what supporting the LOI is all about. You can't do that watching on the tele

Wish we had a club in Galway with that following (except for guys like the knob in the green jacket). What an atmosphere!

The_Kew_Tour

That is class i have to admit.

Madworld

The video doesn't even do the atmosphere justice.

One of the best nights in Dayler in a long time. In a perverse sort of way it meant even more than the 4-0 last year.

Seems like it was a good night for attendances in the league. Dalymount had a fairly sizeable crowd, wouldnt have exact numbers though.

Top 3 attendances on Friday evening-

Dundalk v Sligo R. 3031
Bohs v Shams R. 2671
Pats v Shels 1846

Should be better but we thank for what we get.

Great video of the Bohs fans. Really hope they do stay up this season.

Longford finally win a game in what seems like an eternity. 4-0 vs the mighty Salthill. Drogs in the cup next, Cookie was down watching the game last night, I don't think we will be too worried.

Next important match is Waterford away, simply need to win and win every other game..

Even my bus home tonight was driven by a Pats fan I've newly discovered.

I took a video myself from near the halfway line of the final whistle. I must admit, its slightly shakey.

Waterford away is a massive game and yee seem to have their number this year. As an Athlone fan, i hope it finishes a draw and we beat Wexford at home and go 7 ahead, which would look very good then. I do hope both us and yee go up, be great for the area.

Croly gone according to RTE.

Jaysus. I missed the last couple of Rovers games but I'd say the atmosphere is proper poison now....

Knob?

Why, because he's making a few rude gestures? FFS, the sanitisation of football is complete.

also,it's cool for mods to call people names now, is it?

In fairness, it's a real heat of the moment type thing. I'm always more animated at those games than any other. You can't help but get lost in it. I curse, say stupid things and probably sound/look ridiculous at times during the 90 minutes but it's pure passion and getting one over on your rivals and when you're in a relegation battle, it means a lot more.

One of the best night's I've had in my fairly short time in supporting Bohs. Meant more to me than the 4-0 mainly because we were more comfortable in the table this time last year. Almost like a double victory.

Really great weekend.

Getting heated at your own team coz they gave away the ball or whatever is completely understandable. I just don't get the ridiculous gestures at the opposing fans. Celebrate your victory, forget about the opposition fans and enjoy the moment.
Do you ever get that feeling of being embarrassed for someone else? That's how I feel for him.

There's plenty more who spend the entire game watching the other set of fans and occasionally glancing at the game.
