Spurs Good Riddance Could be a Black Cat Revival

0
In the past, Roy Keane has not been shy about looking disdainfully on the quaint but ineffectual nature of Irish football. It's arguable whether or not Roy Keane will be remembered as the uber-competitive hard man of the Manchester United midfield or the rage and pride-filled egomaniac that abandoned his country leading up to the 2002 World Cup.

What’s the story in Ballybofey?

1
As a result of our Intertoto campaign a number of games had to be moved from their originally scheduled dates. One such game was the away trip to Finn Harps on Tuesday. Those of you familiar with the geography of Ireland will know that it entails a journey of two hundred and thirty kilometers and [. Click to continue reading...

"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 [...] Click to continue reading...

Bohs fans do it better…

0
Blog that is! For the second consecutive month, a Bohs fan blogger has been awarded Blog of the Month in When Saturday Comes! This time the plaudits go to Steve D for his "A Gambling Journey" which is hosted on the unofficial Bohs site bohs.ie. Bohs are currently top of the league in football terms and [.

Thinking of a Song for Killian Brennan

0
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", [...] Click to continue reading...

We Are Top of the League!

0
Its hard to believe that we are top of the league for the first time in five years. As the fourth official put up his board to show four minutes of injury time on Tuesday night some people were chanting it. I couldn't. Me and Jimmy who was standing beside me looked away. Pats threw [...] Click to continue reading...

LukeO Give us a wave…

1
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 [...] Click to continue reading...

Its happening again…

2
There was a full moon in the sky last night. All right thinking football fans stayed indoors. This was not just any full moon, it coincided with the perverted satanic ritual of donning red or blue shirts and praying to the gods of greed, excess and corporate entities that just happen to have football teams.

Take Me Up To Monto

2
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 [...] Click to continue reading...

You only need one flag

1
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 [. Click to continue reading...

Insert Clichéd Exam Failure Metaphor Here

1
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 [... Click to continue reading...

Gypsy from the Cave

1
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 [...] Click to continue reading...

Bye Bye Belfield (Park)

1
I'm one of those people who gets excited at the sight of a football ground. Dalymount's majestic floodlights were one of the first things that attracted me to Bohs. If I'm travelling through a city I haven't been in before, I always keep an eye out for its stadia. I don't know why this is. [...] Click to continue reading...

Much ado about nothing

1
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, [. Click to continue reading...

Burying the Drogs!

1
There was a recent thread on the Drogheda United forum about how deep you should bury a dog. I shudder to think what state the deceased animal was in as the forum member waited for his answer. Maybe it was in the freezer. Maybe the dog wasn't dead yet. Either way there was no debate [...] Click to continue reading...

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Bohs

1
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 [.

Under a hot tin roof?

1
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 [. Click to continue reading...

The Sweetest Thing

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 [...] Click to continue reading...

Derby Day in Dublin

  Ballybough End at last season's Tolka derby. (Photo source unknown - for creditation mail me) Its a glorious morning. Maybe there is some cloud in the sky but the sun shines through and bathes the city in a trancendent haze that matches my mood. Rovers. That one word sums up the full range of my emotions [.

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.

Dublin’s Friendliest Derby?

4
It's Friday again thank Hunt! Tonight sees the first Dublin Derby of the season as we take on our less fortunate city cousins St. Patrick's Athletic. This has often been described as Dublin's friendliest derby. Granted there isn't the vitriolic hatred that exists between us and Rovers or the extreme distaste that we have for [.
