"El Cuervo's flag in the members bar" Bohs beat Drogheda Town 3-0. There isn't much to
say about the game. Victory was inevitable. We expected to win by more but it matters little. We go
into the two week summer break, with six wins on the spin, top of the league and still in the FAI

He's got seven goals this year so far making him the league's top scorer. He's the best dead ball
man we've had for years. Yet Killian Brennan may be wondering if he's not as popular as some other
players in the side. The problem is, Killian has no song. Crowe has "start spreading the
news", [...]
LukeO works most Friday nights. That at least is his excuse for missing most home games. Last night
however another theory emerged. Shortly before a quarter to eight as the Bohs team entered the
pitch, they were joined by someone in a big foam Dennis the menace suit. It was our new mascot. As

Photo by Dean Taaffe Its been a strange week since the trip to Cobh. On Wednesday my Cousin, Fab
and I traveled to Manchester for the UEFA cup final. We'd had all sorts of warnings about going as
Rangers were in the final. They eat their babies, they'll burn you as a witch, you'll go straight

When the season kicked off one thing that I was looking forward to was those long distance away
trips. Due to the fall of the fixtures however, along with a particularly nasty infection hitting
me at a most inopportune time, so far I've had to make do with the opening day's trip to Galway.
Yesterday [.
I have very few happy memories of trips to Belfield for Bohs games and Friday night didn't
provide any either. I left work at five o'clock on what was a beautiful Friday evening. It was
perfect for sitting outside and having a few beers but unfortunately I had to head up to Dalymount
to pick up [...
There are a few Drogheda fans who like to wind me up to the effect that as a Navan man, Drogheda
United should be my team. Besides the fact that I was living in Dublin when I started going to see
Bohs, there is no logic in this idea. For one thing, United Park is only [...]
When I woke up this morning my first thought was "What can I write in the blog about last
night? Nothing happened." The game was as dull as lecture on advanced mathematics delivered by
Enda Kenny. Sure, we'd a fair bit of possession and some decent passing moves but there was no
penetration, no urgency, [.
After the relatively comfortable win over Rovers I was expeacting an easy win over Bray on Friday
night at Dalyer. Do I never learn? Once again Bohs showed their inability to lift themselves for
games against smaller teams. As Nutsy said before the game "you get the same points for
beating Bray as for beating [.
Bohs fans at last season's FAI cup Semi-Final (Photo by Dean Taffe) The scenes at Tolka last Friday
on the Ballybough end with the Bohs hardcore jumping up and down, singing and waving scarves in the
air made me think about the Shed at Dalymount. Its famed glory days were of course before my time
but [.
Friday night, ten o' clock, the Ballybough end in Tolka park was jumping. "We love you, we
love you, we love you and where you go we follow, we follow, we follow". We'd just beaten
Shamrock Rovers, our arch enemies 1-0 away with a goal scored by none other than Glen Crowe. That
goal clinched [...]
Photo by Dean Taaffe One residual effect of last Friday's action against Finn
Harps at Dalymount Park has been an ongoing discussion at the TheBohs.com
forum about the NBB banner that read "€20 a score too far". This was a protest
at the recent price increase of admission to games at Dalymount from last year's €15 tag.
Well I hope you enjoyed all the articles written by Kev in the last couple of weeks but now its my
turn to take up the story of the 2008 season once again. Friday night we faced Finn Harps for the
first time in a few years. They'd been promoted last year and had started [...]
Kev is going to be doing a full report on the events of Friday night, incorporating Thursday
night's display making. This is good as I realy don't want to write about what I had to witness on
Friday night. Suffice to say that only four players turned up on the night. Super Keeper Murphy who
was [...]
After Liverpool's victory over runaway Serie A leaders Inter, the horrific possibility of another
European trophy for the most mediocre of football giants has become a real possibility. May 25th
2005 was one of those horrific sporting moments in my life. Liverpool, three down to a far superior
Milan side at half time managed to take [.
And I don't care about morals cause the worlds insane and were all to blame anyway And I don't feel
any sorrow Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors - from The Butterfly Collector
(The Jam) Its finally here! The new dawn is upon us, rejoice! The beginning of the football season
for me is an occasion for [.
"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached
in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn and know lack all
foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead
formalities and vain pretences of your civilization, which makes [.
 Photo by Dean Taaffe "I've been waiting such a long time, looking out for you But you're not
here What's another year?" Those lyrics, sung by Bohs hero Johnny Logan could almost be about our
now five year (six seasons) wait for league title glory. Still, at least it's not fourteen barren
years coupled with twenty one years of homelessness.
I was crying as the Berlin Wall fell, not due to any emotional attachment my one and a half year
old self held for the U.S.S.R, but rather because I was going through a practically bad teething
phase. Â Twenty seven years previously while John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the man whose Presidency will
be forever linked with that [.
