At least Bohs can console themselves with their Vinyl sound system

Smashing championship final lads
And their climate officer
The Bohs club poet is very quiet
Great atmosphere there yesterday - Bohs very naive on set pieces. Talbot is some shaper
They should think about holding Bohs Rovers games there.
I only saw a bit of it, but they seemed under pressure with any sort of a cross into the box at all.
Manager must be under pressure, the cup was his only chance of redemption
they should do it like those Rugby League super sundays in England
Play the 2 Dublin Derbys there on the same day
Nothing has gone right for Talbot since he said Rovers lacked heart
âWe donât have much respect for them to say the least. They look down on usâŚâ (the42.ie)
Lambo must be under pressure too
Evan is the only thing that can save them
Get that in your sandwich maker
What a line
Security risk.
Play the 2 Dublin Derbies thereâŚand what about the football on the pitch?
Poor oul nastiii
Heâs getting an awful doing on Twitter.
Nasti is one of the least abnormal TikTokers. Seems like a sound lad, even if some of his sandwiches are questionable. Heâd be a frequent poster on the sandwich thread here.
anyone do the honours please, king footix seems irked

Joe Molloy serves the public with unpopular truth about FAI Cup final
Weâve been hearing a lot about public service broadcasting in the last few days. The plan for the future of RTĂ has naturally led to many discussions on RTĂ itself and elsewhere about the true nature of this elusive phenomenon.
To some, it means someone standing outside Leinster House saying serious-sounding things. To others it means the freedom to make programmes about, say, Samuel Beckett, without worrying too much about the ratings.
Yet perhaps the reason this concept is so difficult to define, is that itâs more of an instinctive thing. Indeed in the week that all this palaver was going on, there was a moment on Newstalkâs Off the Ball (Newstalk, weekdays, 7pm) which defined public service broadcasting as this pure instinct which lives in the heart of mankind, just waiting to be released.
Yes, in the unlikely event that our grandchildren ask us what this strange thing was, we can just direct them to Joe Molloyâs presentation last Monday of a discussion about the FAI Cup final.

It was, for the most part, a joyous conversation between various parties to the great occasion, a celebration of a game between Bohemians and St Patrickâs Athletic which had drawn more than 43,000 to the Aviva stadium. It was agreed by all â including Joe Molloy â that it had been good for the game, good for the communities involved, even good for family life, with so many fathers bringing their children to it. It was, without doubt, a great day for Ireland.
And then Joe Molloy picked his moment to do some public service broadcasting. At the height of all this euphoria he mentioned that he had been watching some of the game; not intensely, but enough to give the impression that the standard of football wasnât very good.
I didnât really want Joe to do that. I didnât want him to be bringing his public service broadcasting ethic to the party, at that time. I was feeling too elated by the uplifting spirit of the item, to be dealing with such truths.
And yet I knew in my heart he was right. He had done the most difficult thing a presenter can do, daring to introduce a note that might wreck everyoneâs buzz. And yet it worked; the joy was still tremendous, but nobody could now be accused of pretending theyâd been looking at Real Madrid versus Bayern Munich.
There was no public service âremitâ at work here, nothing that Leo Varadkar could define to Bryan Dobson as a general principle, just an individual presenter who went for it, because that is what he does â many other presenters with high reputations would not have bothered, and probably nobody would have noticed.
And yet Joe, on this station that isnât even RTĂ, had captured the essence of all this philosophising. All it took was for him to say something that is not popular, but is still true.
How hard is that?â
cringe that he is putting so much value on a golf fans view of football
Hey! Donât shoot the messenger
