Ah the annual hosting of our friends from Pigsboro
Annual hosting? You've already played us in your "home" ground of Tolka this season. Remember? We beat your team of minnows?...
Also, we're not your friends
who are chuffed about buying the league with money they dont have.
Unlike the sham teams of the 80s?... And as a matter of fact, we do have the money. There was a deal struck with Liam Carroll to sell our ground in return for many millions and a new stadium that we'll own. We don't spend money we can't repay, unlike some clubs...[/QUOTE]Think the main event is actually your EGM (50 of your knuckle-draggers have finally realised whats going on it seems) and the court case coming up.
Nothing to do with the match. As for knuckle draggers
, people in glass houses... the shams have a far larger element of scumbags, and we at least acknowledge our problem and ban people.Be sure to bring your legions of toerags with you to stone our buses and the like, as usual.
You run buses to your home games? From Tallaght to Tolka is it?...
Last time any buses got stoned indiscriminately by a large number of "fans", it was by your hooligans after a "home" game in Inchicore a few years back. The Gardai held Bohs fans back for 15 minutes, while sham fans were let out. Sham fans used this time to arm themselves with stones and whatever else they could lay their hands on. Dublin Bus buses were right outside to take Bohs fans into the city centre. Didn't stop sham "fans" lining up and bricking the buses. Nearly got a smack of a stone myself, the poor kid who was about 11 or 12 and was queuing to get onto the bus beside me caught it in the side of the head.0 -

I was getting worried. A long post about bus-stoning and thought there was going to be no mention of a poor kid who was about 11 or 12
Nice advert for the LOI bashers here. Thanks. sorry, maybe I should pretend it didn't happen? For the record, I had no intention of mentioning anything bus stoning etc. until a deluded hoop (CiaranC) decided to accuse Bohs fans of stoning sham buses. I was only setting him straight. Plenty of worse stuff happens at derby games around the world anyway. As for it being a bad advertisment, just read the Herald or any other newspaper the day before or day after a Dublin derby, and there'll be some mention of violence in it, the Irish media love to get a dig in at the LoI. Anecdotal evidence of some randomer on a message board is hardly going to be the thing that puts people off. I wouldn't worry anyway, nobody bar the usual few even pay any attention LoI threads on here.Waffling about rare, dopey schooligan incidents and ignoring the fact that Bohs are p8ssing on the other teams in the league who are trying to live within their means
Like Pats, Drogs and Cork were? :rolleyes: Cork aside, the other two are spending more than us. Or maybe you mean Cobh, Sligo, Galway and Cork, who all spent their way into trouble this year alone?
Slightly ironic for a sham fan and presumably fully signed up member of the 4% club to be lecturing Bohs fans about living within their means.just because you're obsessed with being the Big Club, but could end up broke and in the first division by next season.
Yep, we are THE BIG CLUB. Broke and in the first division? What are you basing that on? Dalymount is worth circa. €50m at present. 0 -

We both know how rarely it happens. Not belittling the kid. Why should any of us do the Herag's work for them?

Fair enough, you're not alone.Slightly ironic for a sham fan and presumably fully signed up member of the 4% club to be lecturing Bohs fans about living within their means.
I'm a member, yes. Rovers are living within their means. They're legally and comfortably within the wage cap. I don't care what our board did in the past. They were fucked out.Yep, we are THE BIG CLUB.
Of course you are. Based on what? League wins? Attendances?Broke and in the first division? What are you basing that on? Dalymount is worth circa. €50m at present.
Dalymount is worth 50M in the same way my gaff is worth 400k: Dependant on some mug taking it off your hands.
And you not trying to sell it to two different parties. 0 -

I agree with you there, CiaranC just brought it up, I was merely setting the record straight. People here will find an excuse not to go to games no matter what, it's the sad reality of things and I can't see it changing.We both know how rarely it happens. Not belittling the kid. Why should any of us do the Herag's work for them?
As are Bohs.I'm a member, yes. Rovers are living within their means. They're legally and comfortably within the wage cap.
SpendingOf course you are. Based on what? League wins? Attendances? :pac:
I presume you were referring to me. What exactly don't I know?Its nuts the number of Bohs fans who have no idea whats happening at their own club.0 -

Deluded. Youre having a laugh. Bohs fans are the very definition of delusion.
The BIG CLUB: a club with lower gates than Cork and Derry, less honours than Rovers and Dundalk, and who bring 22 fans to Latvia with a banner saying "Too BIG for the Intertoto" only to be promptly knocked out, when Pats can muster hundreds to Berlin. Get a grip.
Delusion enough, before we even start talking about the clubs future. 0 -

Are you serious?
You's clearly are in breach of it at this very moment.
Deadly serious. You're quite a sensible poster on here so I'm presuming you too were serious with your statement. I can assure you, we're not in breach of it. We're allowed to count the Carroll money as income (yes I know there's debate/court case which would impact on the eventual receipt of it), however the FAI and more specifically Padraig Smith, the chap in charge of overseeing adherence to the wage cap, are satisified that we're well within the limit. The same was confirmed by Gerry Cuffe, and by the FAI themselves. Our auditors are also happy with it. The FAI see monthly accounts, and have no issues with Bohs in relation to spending.The BIG CLUB: a club with lower gates than Cork and Derry, less honours than Rovers and Dundalk, and who bring 22 fans to Latvia with a banner saying "Too BIG for the Intertoto" only to be promptly knocked out, when Pats can muster hundreds to Berlin.

When was the last time the shams won anything? I'm glad you take such an interest in The Big Club that you can quote our attendances and banners. I'm sure you know well the story behind the Latvia game and the cause of the poor attendance. Berlin was ever so slightly more accessible... You didn't mention how many we brought to Rhyl.
How did the shams get on in Europe this year by the way?0 -

Do you want people on here to have a decent conversation/argument with you when you mouth on the way you did at the start of this thread, with the insults and pointless stupid remarks? You just here for the rise or you cant get the major chip off your shoulder?
He's just on a wind up to be honest. I've challenged him on pretty much every issue he raised, from the stoning of buses to the financial situation at Bohs, and every time he just responded with something unrelated e.g. enjoy being the new Shelbourne (again, the irony of that coming from a sham fan!). No interest in having a logical, reasoned discussion but rather having an unsupported random swipe at Bohs at every opportunity. I suppose we'll just have to get used to it, fans of minnow clubs are bound to the jealous of The Big Club.
EDIT: Cannot wait for the game tonight. Let's hope we keep up our winning run. Anyone heading along remember it's a 7:35 kick of for the tv, so don't have that extra pre-match pint. It's live on RTE 2 for anyone who might be interested in watching it and can't make it along tonight. 0 -

While I was delighted to see that we had signed the second best keeper in the country...Livewire Sean O'Connor indulged in a training-ground routine from a corner kick with Joseph Ndo, before teasing a wonderful cross through the penalty area, where Tadhg Purcell was waiting to glance it past Barry Murphy's right hand post.
(This bit, I am including gratuitously... )
All was going well for the home side; it was a deserved lead and they developed something of a swagger :pac:approaching the half-time whistle.
Such confidence against this Bohemians side, however, is little short of footballing lunacy and, like so many times before with so many different teams, it proved their downfall as Bohemians bided their time before striking right on the stroke of the interval.0 -
