Rovers v Bohs 5/10 Setanta 19.05

vellocet

Its a biggie, even by this games standards. Rovers are level with Sligo with a game in hand. If they win, they go top and it's hard to see them looking back.

Bohs have never won in Tallaght in 5 attempts, scoring one goal and conceding 8. They have a couple of decent players and will want to do everything they can to stop their bigger rivals getting back to back titles.

Rovers have a full squad to chose from, and despite Bohs mid table mediocrity, MON will pick his strongest side.

I'm going for a blood and guts 1-0 to the Hoops with at least one sending off.

Can't see us winning, though would be funny if it did because it wouldn't mean much in terms of league position this time. Maybe that'll be our lucky charm :pac:

Realistically I see Rovers winning by 1

AgileMyth

Come on Bohs! Ye owe us a favour for two years ago!

stovelid

Probably not much of a game to look at with only a goal in it.

The day and time will probably hurt the attendance too.

Bohs are overdue a late winner or jammy equaliser unfortunately.

The day is not bad, no champions lge or prem lge games etc to go up against. Time 7.05 in hardly so bad. Most ppl finish at 5.30/6 can easy make a 7.05 start.
I admit I don't go to many LOI games, as haven't a local team to support, but will be at this one.

Lucan Bohs

Will take a draw, 5 out of 5 defeats at tallaght.

Many Bohs fans heading up tomorrow ticketless like meself?

bohsboy

Savage win by Sligo tonight to give themselves a great shout.

Surprisingly large amount of Bohs fans seem to be going tomorrow night. Looking forward to it, Bohs always play well when the odds are stacked against them.

Should be good, Rovers are dreading it and Bohs have been decent recently.

bassey

Can't wait for this match, I reckon we'll hold out for a draw to really mess up rovers' season. I know a good few are heading up for what could be our last game in a very long time against shams.

Just buy for the home end walk down, never a problem for us.

bassey

There'll be cash taken at the away turnstiles.

As bassey said tickets will be on sale at turnstiles so will just buy them then ads planned

The Twigg double payment saga has added a nice bit of spice to the fixture.

I still feel Sligo's huge goal difference might be what wins it at the end, but we'll see if we can help out.

What double payment saga?

I'm pretty confident Rovers can win by 2 or 3 tomorrow. Can't wait for this.

Bohs strength is their defence, ye won't score 3 against them, I think it'll be a 1-1 draw, or if one team does win it it'll be by 1 goal.

A rumour and I repeat a RUMOUR that he's being paid on the double by sham. The official weekly wage and the "Derry style" supplement. Doubt it but it's being talked about.

How does a rumour about the way a player is paid add spice to a particular fixture?

It doesn't.

And it's a fairly pathetic attempt at a wind up. Just beacuse somebody posts nonsense on a messageboard hardly makes it a rumour. You would think Bohs fans would be more concerned with the fact that their club might not be here next year than making stuff up about rovers.

By the way, I heard bohs players are getting paid triple contracts. Although three times nothing is still nothing so not sure how that stands legally. :pac:

They find the concept of player contracts that are actually honoured too fantastical to grasp properly.

So not a saga at all then?

And where may I ask is it being talked about? If the answer contains either fool.ie or the bohs forum then WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA....

To quote the little annoying 10 year old behind me when I was last at Dalymount:

"C'MON BOHS... GET IT IN THERE"

For the entire game. :pac:

Started on the Bohs forum, by a bohs fan and has gathered absolutely no momentum. We could be paying Twigg 23k a week and still be under the wage cap. Bizzare that people are even talking about it.

I assume, and obviously Im not a 100% but I would think it was actually down to Twigg having two contacts a few years ago. He had one with Rovers and one with Umbro. He got his wage for rovers and a percentage of Twigg shirt sales and other Twigg branded stuff sold in the shop. Changed since shop was bought out IIRC.

Its just like Stephen "Zoolander" Grant a couple of years ago getting paid by Guinness for his long luxurious hair.

Sligored

come on bohs - beat shams and let us beat ye in the league and you can have your cup final.

Shams are there for the taking

As a sidenote , just got some comedy gold from the shams forum

Im very concerned.... those bitters seem to have everything going their way... i hope we dont choke, should have had it wrapped by now or at least be in a better position but it is what it is and we are good enough so lets get it done K.O.H

need to win to keep the pressure on cant see sligo beating pats and bohs unless they keep signing referees another player sent off against them or have the FAI brought in a rule that they cant play 90 mins against 11 as it might effect there brilliant football. time tomorrow is a bastard trying to get up there in ****ing rush hour again.

How many games have tyhey played against 10 men in a row? they always get a player from the opposition sent off fairly early.

That's six reds in their last five league games, all going to the opposition - that's an incredible statistic.

They've learned the art of gong down after "getting shot" all the while clutching their faces.
Well they aren't labelled as Brazil/Barcelona for no reason.

Not forgetting the art of handball not being a foul.
and yes i'm still fuming over Blinkhorns handball for their winning goal in Tallaght, a three point swing in their favour all thanks to a cheating referee.
and guess who the ref was last night who showed a red card in the 3rd minute ????

Not to mention the art of their whole bench jumping five feet in the air in perfect synchronization while wearing an expression to suggest they've been simultaneously cattle prodded in the arse whenever there is contact on any of their players.

After seeing the antics from their bench and players at first hand in tallaght, nobody should be surprised at that.

And people wonder why we despise ye

Terrible defending.

Few tasty challenges going in now.

Bohs look devoid of any creativity. Dwelling on the ball too long too. Needs to be passed about quicker.

Oh dear.

Bohs disappointing from the off.

We miss Muzzer's threat from set plays. Great finish.

Mushy

Big HT change for Rovers, clearly dont see any more threat and cant be blamed for thinking that.

Some crowd comments are funny, namely 'ya Bohs boll...' and ' ah f*** off'.

These commentators annoy me greatly.

That_Guy

Mon Bohs!!!
