Greatest League in the World 2026 [LOI Thread]

Always great to beat Sligo. Was surprised just how bad they were, especially first half, they were genuinely terrible.

We were solid. Created a load of chances but just didn't take them, another night we may have paid for it but Sligo barely troubled Watts all night.

Every year you do this. Then go on a league winning run from July to October!

Apart from next weekend, when regettably we can't be there, I wish and hope you'll be ok.

Yeah, not much physicality about ye tonight alright. At the start of the second half, when he came on, I thought Hakiki was doing well on the ball until he came off again injured. McElroy is a good young player, and I was thankful that Essua never really got into the game at all.

lacks the pace also

We were poor tonight again, so it’s not a blip, badly missing a couple no nonsense experienced players ,

this passing across the back is just frustrating, inviting pressure we can’t handle

Galway played simple long balls and it worked very well for them,

A lot frustrated fans tonight, lose next weekend and it’s going to get nasty ,

What a 45 minutes that second half was. I thought Rovers controlled the first half , Bohs first was an incredible counter attacking move. Brennan for Rovers looks a quality player and I was convinced he was going to damage us further into the game. I fully expected us to get pushed further and further back in the second half but wow, what an incredible 45 minutes. Agree, Todd and Hickey are so strong, Tierney was fantastic, Devoy pulling the strings, Parsons and Whelan just excellent. Fully deserved to be 3.0 up. My goodness though what a lapse in concentration in injury time. I felt Kacper who had been brilliant all night could have done better for both goals. All this without DJT, Mullen and Power. Anybody know where they all were?

Get used to Dougie being awol. Made of glass

Duffy didnt play in the Premier league or championship for years like McClean did.

I like Duffy but I remember him playing V Arsenal and he looked very ordinary, its one thing playing well in the LOI but that doesnt cut it for International football, Pat Hoban was a great striker in LOI, he scored 30 goals one season but you wouldnt be calling him up to play for Ireland.

Good result for Pats last night, which may alleviate some of the doom and gloom talk of recent weeks. Good to see Aidan Keena back on the pitch and back amongst the goals. Need to carry it on v Galway on Monday.

If Sobowale had jumped a few inches higher and cut off Devoy's cross, it would have ended 2-2.

Not saying Bohs weren't the best team on the night obviously because they were. They were excellent and had Rovers weak spots down to a tee.

The FAI really need to look into the club management of that fixture in Dalymount for the away team though. It's going to come to a head sooner or later.

Fair point. No complaints about the result. Bohemians really impressed.

You seem in the know about the club. And you know well what I'm talking about and it's going to come to a head sooner or later.

Your club are supposedly running a regulated professional match with a duty of care to the away team and staff - not your usual street rally of trendy scruffs.

You know well that's not what I'm talking about. I didn't say fans, I said players and staff.

Or maybe you don't know and I'm overestimating how much you know.

Anyway, we move on.

I'm presuming he is talking about the narrow laneway the players and staff have to walk out to leave Dalymount Park, a video is online of them being abused on their way out of the stadium - not a problem in itself. But the Bohs fans are literally within touching distance all while consuming alcohol, one of the Bohs fans does actually put his hand on one of the Rovers squad. There is no barrier or security or anything to separate them. It's a recipe for disaster which could turn into chaos very easily.

It wasn't a once-off either.

The team bus is forced to park away from the stadium, making it worse.

All accidental, presumably.

There seems to be an intermittent issue with the away dressing room water too.

Very unfortunate.

Hopefully it will be resolved when Bohs get their own 'soulless' stadium from the local authority.
