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...

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...

Take Me Up To Monto

4
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

2
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

2
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...

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...

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

3
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

1
  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 [.

A Score Too Far?

1
  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...

Better Fewer but Better

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...

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 [.

"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd.

What’s Another Year?

3
 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. Click to continue reading...
