Bohemians lost the derby and the subsequent PR battle

There's rarely a dull week in the League of Ireland, but even by our own standards the last seven days have produced enough drama to fill a month's worth of headlines.

Monday night's Dublin derby at Tallaght Stadium had everything we've come to expect from the biggest fixture in Irish football. A record league crowd in Tallaght Stadium of 10,208, three goals, controversy and some 'enjoyable' scenes following the final whistle.

Shamrock Rovers' 2-1 victory has put them firmly in control of this title race. Dylan Watts' winner was a massive moment in their quest to keep hold of the trophy, but much of the conversation since has centred on the confrontation between both sets of players and staff.

Four red cards followed, with Stephen Bradley subsequently making some strong accusations regarding the involvement of Bohemians staff in these incidents.

Despite all this, Bohs' decided to maintain their media blackout.
