ATALANTA BERGAMO 0 AC MILAN 1 AC Milan's renaissance continued as Kaka scored 10 minutes from time away to Atalanta on Sunday.

AC MILAN 3 SAMPDORIA 0 Ronaldinho converted a 55th-minute penalty conceded for handball by Sampdoria defender Stefano Lucchini, who was sent off, and combined well with Kaka to fire in Milan's second 11 minutes later.

Aussie Minister Kate Ellis pays up on her Olympic bet.

1
For us Brits there's nothing quite like getting on over on the Aussies when it comes to sport. They are just too good at it all so when the occasion comes round that we do end up looking down on them it's good to milk it for all it's worth. The 2005 Ashes may have been eclipsed by the debacle in Australia that followed but that doesn't change the fact that for those fleeting 12 months we had the one up on them.

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!

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...

Mourinho will return to Chelsea…

2
...To nab all their players! The Times reports that the slick Portugeezer will be named manager of Inter Milan shortly, and after he rattles off some choice egg-related epigrams to the bemused Italian press, he will no doubt begin the task of bringing in some new faces to boost Inter's already obese squad.

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

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

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...

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!

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...

Someone in the squad’s not happy with Chelsea manager!

1
Avram Grant was criticised this week for leaving Joe Cole out of the starting XI that faced Wigan on Monday. Many fans at Stamford Bridge chanted 'you don't know what you're doing' at the Chelsea manager and according to The Sun, Tal Ben Haim might have been joining in. You might be forgiven for thinking that [. Click to continue reading...

Will Manchester United striker make a good England captain?

1
Rio Ferdinand captained England on their latest outing, a disappointing 1-0 defeat to France. However, the Daily Telegraph report that his Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney could be the national team's captain of the future, if Fabio Capello's comments are anything to go by. Much uncertainty surrounds the current England captaincy, with Steven Gerrard, Ferdinand and [. Click to continue reading...

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.

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 [.

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...

Kev is going to be doing a full report on the events of Friday night, incorporating Thursday night's display making.

Dublin’s Friendliest Derby?

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...
