Pity Bohs can't produce performances like that on a regular basis but Bohs were class last night. Supple pulled off Save of the season and the 99th minute finish what can you say, cracking night!

Prob the most entertaining derby in a long time!

artanevilla

If you're wearing green and white I feel bad for you son. We played 99 minutes and we won 2-1!

johnnyryan89

And the nation is in shock as Limerick fc actually scored a goal.... still lost 2-1 though.

Rhys McCabe scored from his own half.

Damn bot didn't get the goal.

Brillant goal. But ball was rolling.

Oat23

The ref was about 30 yards away with 3 Limerick players in the way so I'm not surprised he missed it. Linesman has no excuse though.

Brutal game of football in Blackrock on Friday... Our run had to end at some stage.

In fairness, if he'd played the ball to another player or the shot at goal had gone wide , there wouldn't be a word about the ball rolling. It happens regularly with quickly taken frees and goes unpunished.

Lyle Lanley

Wouldn't have been rolling if the Limerick player hadn't kicked the ball away..

osarusan

The rolling ball/not taking it from the exact correct position happens regularly, and if the ref does bring it back, most of the time the fans are roaring at them for being so petty rather than just letting it go.

The goal happened because we switched off. The Limerick outfield players, who made no attempt to stop a quick free-kick of any kind, and especially the keeper, who should have been more conscious of the really strong breeze behind them.

Nice promotion this

Passing the ball to a teammate or taking a shot that goes wide isn't game changing though.

Lets not act like we wouldn't be annoyed had that happened to us, especially with some of the sh*te referring decisions that have cost us points. We look like hypocrites.

We were lucky the ref's view was blocked by Limerick players. I also said the linesman was to blame, but I take that back. I don't think it's his responsibility. He would be looking across the line for offside I think.

red sean

If that had happened to us instead of Limerick I'd be giving out about our goalkeeper not the referee!

......Waterford really need to cop on. 2 more Red cards tonight, they'll be lucky to have a first 11 at this rate.

Pats 1-0 up against 9 man Waterford?

Surely the end of Stephen ''their cup final'' Bradley if it stays this way.

Jaysus what are Waterford at, they'll have no players left, trying to ruin a good season on themselves

Isn't there something called the rebound effect when a new manager is appointed at a club, it's very unlucky that Rovers had to play Bray while they are in this rebound period. Bray will probably not win for another 9 games.

Dundalk beat Bray two nil on Friday, despite the "rebound effect".

First win of the season....apologies if it marks the end of Bradley

Rovers lost 13 of their 33 league games last season.
11 games in to this league campaign and they have already lost 6.
Oh dear.

Bit turned off tonight though.
Then again, it was only Rovers the last time, even Bray can beat them.

Tough task going up to Derry who will be well up there by the end of the year. I heard we still did try to play football but a game friday and monday is tough for a part-time outfit. Not taking anything away from Derry in saying that.

When you employ a convicted rapist you can hardly lecture your players about self-restraint.

Paz-CCFC

Heard Caulfield sparked it all, which led to the two red cards.

Some of their fans were arguing that winning the league wasn't important that the long term project was the goal. Wonder are they changing their tunes at all.

As for Finn I hope he's enjoying the kick around with Duffer and watching the young lads in the academy.

Very good against Dundalk on Friday also. There was plenty of people asking how you only had one point

MD1990

Rovers so poor tonight.

Greg Bolger past it legs completly gone. Boyle is awful. Unsure why Gilchrist is starting as well.

I expect Bradley to be sacked in the morning.

Great win for Derry if they tighten up at the back they could challenge . Cork & Dundalk not as strong this season.

It will eventually become a financial decision...one season out of europe surely would be catastrophic.

Next rovers manager? Anyone been tipped?

MD1990

Rovers seem to have more pride in their youth than the 1st team.

Brandon Kavanagh was brought on tonight only 17.

Unsure.

But Brian McDermott ex Reading was linked previously.

Well that'll be 50% of the club gone from members. Wonder how long before the other half ends up in private hands

I sincerely hope so. Having watched his teams at Kinvarra & Ashtown Villa and then bringing that to Bray last year before the rug was pulled out from under him he looks to have the abilities to do well as a manager. Being a stalwart of the 4IAR team as well stands to him also.

Unusual appointment but promising. The announcement of Seana Cooke the other day was very interesting. Andrew Doyle seems to have a good plan coming together if these two are the start of the new personnel.

I was thinking I wouldn't mind Brian Kerr in the dugout at Rovers. I don't think they'll sack Bradley just yet though.

Kerr hates Rovers. Can't see that ever happening.

Bohs played well last night at the Brandywell.

Good young side, especially thought Watts stood out. Took his goal very well.

But 100% record for us at home continues. I think overall we deserved the victory. We also hit the woodwork twice. But Bohs had a great chance at 1-1, one on one with goalkeeper and poor effort at a finish.

They lost two cup finals in the space of four days, Dublin Derby and then the Wicklow Derby.
