Greatest League in the World 2026 [LOI Thread]

I can't remember a season where I have been so depressed watching us.

We are totally clueless.

Good open game in UP. Either side could have won, either side could have lost so a draw a fair result.

Little controversy, lots of effort, a decent ref so neither side can really complain!

Late winners are great aren't they? Strange match in Richmond last night, ended 2-0, could easily have been 6-4 or something like that. Sligo had some really good chances in the 1st half and were the better side even if we also had some good chances.

2nd half started even enough but we took over after the 55th minute or so and the last 20 minutes were a siege more or less of the Sligo box. Still Sligo were defending very well and it looked like a frustrating draw before Redmond headed in with 30 seconds left. Forrester then scored on the counter almost straight from the Sligo kick off in an incredible few minutes of injury time. Important to get over the line and get the win but we weren't great for chunks of the match and need to be a good deal better next week in Dalymount.

Leavy almost scored the goal of the season in the 2nd half. Fantastic dribble from inside his own half, skipping past three Sligo players and hitting the post from a shot 25 yards out.

Interesting.

It's the Sligo Champion basically reprinting the Rovers statement, but all the regional papers owned by the Indo have their articles posted on the Indo site.

It's just a few little green street wannabes who were banned. There's more than 3 of them as well so the rest need to be identified.

I think it's normal to release a statement and also remind fans of the rules. It was in The Sun the other day that Bohs put out a similar statement after issuing some stadium bans. They are facing a partial stadium closure if there's any more trouble.

Everyone in Sligo knows the story because we all saw what happened and there's no real need for details in the statement. A few idiots were causing trouble at the Bohs game trying to start fights, and one of them tried to throw a flare back into the away section. One or two were taken out by the guards.

A statement about those idiots being banned from the showgrounds was posted on our own website and posted in a local paper for our own supporters' benefit. A lot of our older supporters still get all their news from the Champion and don't use the internet which is why club statements are printed in the paper.

If they were to simply ban them without a statement then nobody would know and some people would inevitably accuse the club of being soft on hooliganism.

Got your wish there when he didn't fall for Boyd going down easy in the area.

Threshold is higher in the box. Rightly or wrongly.

JOB under pressure?

That was appalling tonight, just hit and hope stuff

Is Wood rumoured to move?

Surprised with how dreadful Shels were this evening. I know Bohs got an early goal with a great strike and maybe it rattled them but they offered nothing in the first half and Bohs deserved their two goals. They were a bit better at the start of the 2nd half when Boyd and Fritas came on but that didn't last long and Bohs were beginning to have chances on the counter fairly often before they got the 3rd. Wood went off injured too which sums up a dreadful night for Shels.

Bohs looked a lot sharper with Whelan up top than the last few times I've seen them and their Midfield was on top for most of the game. We've a tough match against them in Dalymount on Friday.
