Game Matchtracker
Bohemians 2 - 1 Aston Villa 90' - Full Time - Is all over here as Bohs win 2-1. Villa fans shouldn't get worried yet as these are only pre-season friendlies and the transfer window is still open. Martin O' Neill will need to buy a few creative players but I think he has gem in youngster Marc Albrighton who looks livley. Will he get his chance this season? Who knows. Thats it from at Dalymount Park.
Bohemians 2 - 1 Aston Villa
90' - Chris O' Connor has been outstanding here today. O' Neill might make inquires, especially the way Friedel let in that first goal.
Stats Attack -
Just a bit of info on Enzo the goalscorer. He is a 17 year old from Paris and is on trial at the moment. Not a bad way to impress the manager.
Bohemians 2 - 1 Aston Villa 80' - Goal - Totally against the run of play. Trialist Enzo has smashed the ball past Friedel. 2-1 to Bohs!!! 
Bohemians 1 - 1 Aston Villa 79' - Substitution - Petrov OFF John Hogg is On.
Bohemians 1 - 1 Aston Villa
77' - What a save from O' Connor! Barry Bannan has his effort turned around the post by the Bohs keeper. And about a minute later the same player is denied by the finger tips of O' Connor.
Bohemians 1 - 1 Aston Villa 75' - Substitution - Gary Dempsey OFF, Glenn Cronin ON
Bohemians 1 - 1 Aston Villa
74' - Albrighton again crosses a delightful ball into the box and Carew this time heads wide? What a miss!
Bohemians 1 - 1 Aston Villa 70' - Substitution - Stewart Downing OFF Barry Bannan is ON.
Bohemians 1 - 1 Aston Villa 69' - Goal - A great run by Marc Albrighton, one to watch out for in the future, and he whips in a ball and who is there to head in at the back post? Only John Carew of course! 1-1
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa 63' - Substitution - More changes here at Dalymount than the Irish weather produces. Ken Oman OFF, Yael Haro ON.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa 62' - Substitution - Isaiah Osbourne is ON for Nigel Reo-Coker.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
60' - Carew just ran through their, rounded O' Connor but the flag has gone up. I'm not so sure. Villa are lacking something, a bit of creativity. Maybe a Mr James Milner? On the evidence of this display you would thing that Martin O' Neil will need to bring in a few new players before the season starts. Steven Ireland maybe?
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa 59' - Substitution - Jason Byrne is OFF and Enzo is ON.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
55' - Paddy Madden looks lively and has had a few shots blocked down. John Carew is a monster of a man. He is the size of two normal sized men put together!!!
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
47' - Villa are applying the pressure early on in the second half. The sun has come out here now. At half-time both teams made so many substitutes that nobody here in the press box could follow. Killian Brennan is ON though for Lee Dixon. Thats it. I got them all, for now.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa 46' - Substitution - Big John Carew is ON for Gabby. Habib Beye ON - Eric Lichaj OFF and Carlos Cuellar ON For Bohs Paddy Madden is ON Aaron Greene is OFF
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
45' - A cross bar challenege here is on. If somebody had of hit the bar they would have won €20,000. Nobody hit it, not even close. A kid was also asked who their favourite Aston Villa player was. I think it was a wind-up but she said James Milner, which was followed by a chorus of boo's from the Villa fans. The teams are back out on the pitch now and we are ready for the second half. 
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa 45' - Half Time - Half-time here and the Irish team are leading 1-0. I wonder what O' Neill will be saying to his players? It should be a good second half.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
40' - Its now raining here at Dalymount Park. Might suit the visitors better. Bohs are playing counter-attacking football. Conor Powell is another one who is having a great game at left-back. Nothing is getting by him.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
38' - Long range effort from Stewart Downing is well saved by O' Connor. He is having a great game the Bohs keeper.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
35' - Bohs are defending well but how much longer can they hold out for? Ashley Young, who started off brightly looks tired or maybe he isn't bothered? He will probably score a hat-trick now after me saying that.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
31' - The Villa fans have found their voice again. 'TNS, Are You Havin' A Laugh!' is the new one. Witty by the boys from Birmingham.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
29' - Lee Dixon clears a chance off the line. Villa are starting to pick it up a gear. Another chance for Gabby. Should have scored. How much is he on a week?
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
27' - Great chance for Gabby Agbonlahor, he made room for himself in the Bohs box but smashed high and wide.
Bohemians 1 - 0 Aston Villa
22' - Friedal kind of makes up for his mistake by making a good save from Jason Byrne. The Villa fans have gone quiet? Bohs are playing very well. It makes you think? If they can play like this against a Premier League team, why couldn't they play like this against TNS? Football is a funny game.
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa 20' - Goal - Amazing, Bohs have taken the lead. Jason Byrne played a ball through for Aaron Greene, Friedel came out to clear it but the Villa keeper sliced it to Conor Powell outside the box and the Bohs man chipped the former USA international. 1-0 Bohs.
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
17' - Great save! O' Connor pulls of a great save from Nigel Reo-Coker. He tipped it over the bar as Reo-Coker shot from 20 yards out. Best chance so far.
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
15' - A great bit of skill from Bohs keeper Chris O' Connor. He just made a fool out of Ashley Young. Something he will be bragging about after the match no doubt.
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
10' - Villa are dominating as you would suspect but nothing clear-cut yet to talk about. I've just heard a vuvuzela. Lets hope I don't hear it again!!!
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
6' - The Villa fans are showing their support for their manager, Martin O' Neill. Ashley Young has been the best player so far and has tried a few tricks. Disrespect to Bohs players or just entertainment for the fans?
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
2' - First chance goes to Villa. Ashley Young has a shot but it's easily saved by Chris O' Connor.
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa 1' - First Half - Villa, Villa, Villa!!! Thats the shout from the Des Kelly Stand. They are clearly enjoying themselves. The stadium is so full that fans are no sitting in the press box. The game has just kicked off here.
Just to note, Shamrock Rovers game against UCD on Monday has been postponed due to Rovers Europa League game against Juventus on Thursday.
If there are any Villa fans watching in, be sure and drop use a message on Twitter or Facebook, we'd love to hear your thoughts, either on the ongoing Milner situation or whether or not you'd like to see McGeady or Keane joining your club?
From Extratime's Facebook:Fionnán has facebooked us Very good Villa team. The Villa fans are supposed to be out in force apparently. - Yup, great atmosphere. Bohemians have Gary Dempsey in the starting line-up. His chance to impress Fenlon...
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
0' - The Aston Villa fans have filled the stadium and are in full voice. Some song is being played for them and they are all singing and jumping in the Des Kelly Stand. Brilliant atmosphere. Lets hope the game is just as good. The bag of goodies have also been given out here in the press box. Yay!

0' - The Villa players have finally come out. No Emile Heskey, clearl still recovering from the hard work he put in during the World Cup for England. Of course James Milner is not present either, not that Villa fans care all too much it would seem.
From Extratime's Facebook:Dan Gorman facebooked What's the Villa team? - Well I am afraid we don't know yet. No sign of the team sheets as of yet!
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
0' - The Bohemians team are out warming up but still no starting line-up's announced? Brad Friedel is the only Villa player warming up. A nice atmosphere here as the kid s and adults line-up at the side of the pitch waiting to get an autograph or two from the Villa stars.
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa

0' - I'm Philip O' Rourke and I will be giving you updates from Dalymount Park. I've been told by my new Birmingham friend Matt that a couple of hundred Villa fans have made the trip to Dublin. A bus load of them has just arrived and they are scathered around the stadium.
Bohemians 0 - 0 Aston Villa
0' - I have just arrived here at Dalymount Park,just an hour before kick-off and the Aston Villa team are walking across the pitch. Ashley Young is wearing a very big and very red set of head phones which I am told by the Villa media people here in the press box are his favourite. |
