Neither side did enough to break the deadlock on a frustrating night in Phibsborough.
A MONTH THAT began with Bohemians top of the Premier Division ended here with a stalemate against north Dublin rivals Shelbourne.
One of the loudest cheers of the night came when Cork City’s 1-0 win over Shamrock Rovers was annouced over the tannoy. Bohs goalkeeper opted for a simple pass to his left from his six-yard box, rather than launch it towards lone frontman Jonathan Afolabi. It was a move with purpose and adventure to give the home fans more encouragement than the usual derby bluster.Even if they also lacked that killer edge when it mattered in the box.
The Shelbourne midfielder was shown a yellow card for pulling McDonnell back and a bigger punishment nearly followed when Coote’s free-kick cannoned off the top off the crossbar. They needed something more to provide an edge. The sight of Sean Boyd, last season’s top scorer, sitting on the bench having missed the first four months of the season following groin surgery would have enthuses the travelling support.
