Bohemians Clinch Irish Holy Grail

0

Dublin-based Bohemians have won the Republic of Ireland domestic title from reigning champions Drogheda United. It is the tenth occasion that they have managed such a feat in their history. The fate of the championship looked certain to be delayed for another week but Jason Byrne's late winner sealed the title, with four matches still remaining.

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...

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!

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.

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...

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.

Insert Clichéd Exam Failure Metaphor Here

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.

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)

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.

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!

2
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...

A Score Too Far?

  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. Click to continue reading...
