I'll be on vacation in Ireland all next week so you'll have to get along without any website updates until at least the 29th of September. We'll be in Sligo, Killarney down in County Kerry and a few days in Dublin to finish it off. I'm planning to catch a match with my friend Conor (a Derry City nut (club-histories/the-history-of-derry-city. Click to continue reading...

Ryan Guy and St. Pats must try again to reach the Irish Cup semi-finals, while Chris Konopka and Bohemians are already there after their lopsided victory in weekend Irish soccer action. Click to continue reading...

St Patricks travelled across town with the hopes of keeping within touching distance with the league leading Bohemians, but it was not to be on the night as the Bohs dismantled the Saints in the second half with a trio of goals by Mark Rossiter, Glen Crowe and Jason Byrne to open up a 16 point lead.

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...

O texto do companheiro de zaga Chico Garcia, publicado no início de maio, ao contrário do que o número de comentários pode dar a imaginar, teve enorme repercussão no meio acadêmico. Como era minha vez de escrever e andei muito ocupado com trabalhos e com o Corinthians para poder refletir sobre futebol de maneira lúdica, inteligente e que cative o leitor (ou os leitores, contando comigo), resolvi apenas resumir um pouco das ponderações de alguns intelectuais com muita circulação nas instituições acadêmicas do mais alto grau etílico do país.

Greetings Hillcrest Road faithful. Don't forget to pose a question for Jimmy and Jack above. They will be asked tomorrow after practice and then posted here at Hillcrest Road afterward. By all accounts, practice was an intense one today and featured some post-practice "conditioning". The guys got after it. 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...

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 [.

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...

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 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...

Onside magazine is a new publication focusing on Irish football. Its a steal at €4 for 57 pages of full colour quality coverage of the Eircom League of Ireland and the international team. Its available from ELOI club shops, Easons and some other newsagents. 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.

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...

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...

Well maybe its fitting, seeing as how Bohs play on Saturday this week; Obsessed! is the current When Saturday Comes blog of the month! Thanks to the WSC crew for noticing us and thanks to all the regular readers who make it worth our while to do this. As I said, tomorrow we have the rare [...] Click to continue reading...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 [. Click to continue reading...

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...

  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 [.

  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...

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

With Kev fast becoming the Mark O'Brien of the blogosphere, it falls upon me to discuss one of those questions that lingers in the subconscious of many League of Ireland football fans; How big do you want your club to get? With all the talk of promoting domestic football and looking towards an Al Ireland [. Click to continue reading...

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

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 [.

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 [. Click to continue reading...

Half past Five on Saturday evening on Platform seven at Connolly Station myself and Spainer are the last men standing from the inaugural NBB away trip of the 2008 Season.
