Great stuff from our lads last night coming through a gruelling 210 minutes stalemate against Dundalk before holding their nerve to go through to the last eight of the FAI Cup.
I want my Treble.

Success is beginning to catch up on Bohemians as they play their sixth game in 18 days against Galway United at Dalymount Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.
With such a hectic schedule, and the Setanta Sports Cup around the corner, Bohs manager Pat Fenlon has admitted that he will have to make changes to keep players sharp for the title run-in.
Fenlon said: 'We will have to change things around and freshen things up. But when we pick a team from our squad we can always put out a decent side, no matter who it is. We are going for a treble this season to cement our place as the Leading club in Irish football, the rest are only also-rans really"
Central midfield duo Gary Deegan and Paul Keegan are suspended, while Mark Rossiter misses out with a shoulder injury.
The good news for Bohs is that Glen Crowe and Glenn Cronin return from injury. Brian Shelley is expected to recover from a throat infection
Galway are back in action a week after their shock 1-0 defeat to Longford Town in the fourth round of the FAI Ford Cup.
The Tribesmen finished that game with ten men as David Cooke was sent-off and he is suspended tonight as a result.
Aaron Greene was ineligible last week but the forward is included in the squad for tonight.
Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni and his assitant Marco Tardelli will be at Dalymount, where he is expected to run the rule over Bohs goalkeeper Brian Murphy ahead of the upcoming friendly with South Africa at Limerick’s Thomond Park, on Tuesday 8 September.
A resounding 5 - 0 win for our lads on Friday night…however as main rivals Cork & Derry both won it is as you were as regards the League Title. The countdown to this historic treble is genuinely on now and sooner rather than later Cork/Derry will run out of games in the League. The EA Cup is as good as in the bag which just leaves the Fai Cup. What an occasion this years final will be.
The EA Sports Cup final in Waterford on September 26th is indeed almost as eagerly awaited as the maiden Setanta Cup voyage this Saturday. Hundreds of fancy-dress-clad Bohs fans running around Waterford and providing some badly-needed liquidity for the town’s economy. And we’ll be going home with the trophy as well thank you very much.
