editorial L ast Saturday was a strange one all round. With two big matches due to be played, we were confident sitting down to watch one, while the other later that evening always had an air of the unknown about it. Our match in Dalymount was the epitome of a match of two halves as we could have been out of sight by half time but even with a 2-0 cushion you could be confident enough of holding or indeed adding to that. So the two Longford goals were a bit of a kick in the gut in a second half where they seized on a bit of rustiness our end to pull the deficit back. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one shouting ‘Oh shut the hell up!’ at Stephen Alkin when Premier Division he wondered aloud whether Longford would have time for a winner. Not 1923/24, 1927/28, a chance of a winner, I hasten to add, but time for a winner, as if it were a 1929/30, 1933/34, foregone conclusion. Thankfully they didn’t and we grumbled and whined 1935/36, 1974/75, and sat down later for more what would turn out to be the imperfect day. 1977/78, 2000/01, Now while we could reason that Bohs relatively bad start to this 2002/03, 2008, 2009 season didn’t reflect on anything that had gone before nor in the long- term impinge on our confident expectations of another good campaign FAI Cup ahead, the same could not be said for Stephen Kenny’s Ireland. The arrival 1927/28, 1934/35, of Luxembourg heralded his tenth match at the helm and offered ample 1969/70, 1975/76, opportunity for his reign to continue on its miserable run. And so it proved as an increasingly confident Luxembourg won the game to chalk up, 1991/1992, 2000/01, probably, our worst result in competitive international football. 2008 But the bigger picture is interesting. Michael O’Neill’s tenure of League Cup Northern Ireland begun with an 18-game streak that included one win and 1974/75, 1978/79, 2009 competitive defeats against Luxembourg, Azerbaijan and Portugal. However he was afforded time and turned results around to record a remarkable Setanta Cup period for football in the North. Will Stephen Kenny be afforded such time? 2010 Who knows. He at least deserves to see out the campaign, using the remaining matches to build the base of a decent unit. But time will tell if Leinster Cup that happens or if we’ll yet again be starting afresh. 1895/95 - 2016: A record 32 titles Alan Bird, Editor LoI Shield 1923/24, 1927/28, Contact: bohsprog@gmail.com 1928/29, 1933/34, Editor/Production: Alan Bird 1938/39, 1939/40 Contributors: Tony Magner, Stephen Burke, Robert McDonald, Dan McSwiney, Ryan Clarke, Aidan Fitzmaurice, Paul Walsh, Declan Far- rell, Gerard Farrell, Keith Long, Chris Brien Irish FA Cup Photos: Stephen Burke, Eddie Lennon, Martin Doherty, Conor Ryan, 1907/08 Peter O’Doherty, Sportsfile Dublin City Cup Sales: Gerry Juhel, Ray Larkin, Killian Molloy, Timothy Boland, Joe Collins, Cormac Hurrell, Oran Tully RIP 1935/36 Printed by: Just-Print.

with Keith Long T from the dugout onight we welcome Stephen O’Donnell, his backroom team and players to alymount Park for our first ublin Derby of the campaign. There is no doubt that we are all disappointed with our results and performances in the opening two games and there would be not better way to get our season fully up and running with a win against The Saints tonight. That of course will be very difficult against a St. Pat’s side who themselves will be brimming with confidence with a last minute winner against Drogheda last Saturday and a draw away at Rovers on the opening night. Last Saturday we squandered a two goal lead at home to Longford. We had the better of the play for most of the game and should have been a goal or two more to the good before conceding the first goal. We looked nervous after that and Longford to their credit took advantage. We will need to improve and it is important that we do not come away from the values that have served us well in recent seasons. It will take time for new players coming to a new club with different demands being placed on them but the basics of the game remain the same, and need to be respected. There have been some positives in the form of Ross Tierney over the opening two games ‘We will need to improve and it was great for Georgie Kelly to open his account for the club against Longford and on and it is important that another day he could have had a hat-trick. we do not come away Tonight’s game gives us an opportunity to show our mettle. We understand the task from the values that ahead and it will be difficult against a very good have served us well St. Patrick’s Athletic team. Our focus is on trying to win the game we must do the basics in recent seasons... well, work hard, be aggressive and function as tonight’s game gives us a team. If we can do that we will give ourselves a chance to win. an opportunity to show our mettle’ Enjoy the game, Keith Keith Long, Manager The Bohemian Football Club

from the president with Chris Brien A warm welcome to all Bohemian members, supporters and fans. I hope you are all keeping safe and well. The start of the season has not been kind to us and last week’s draw to Longford felt worse than our defeat to Finn Harps. Still, I have total faith in Keith, Trevor and the lads to turn it around, starting with today’s game against St. Pat’s. I know our expectations were high coming into the season and that should still be the case. We have only played two games and while we would have hoped the results would have been better we have another 34 fames to go. We finished second last year and, I believe, strengthened our squad during the close season so I am confident we will improve and be challenging for Europe once again. One thing is certain, these players and staff have always fought for the jersey and will continue to do so this season. Moving to the WNL, we had a fantastic start to the season, winning our first game against Trinity United 6-2. Well done to everyone involved, especially our goalscorers, Bronagh Kane and Aoife Robinson who got two each with one each for Naima Chemaou and Sophie Watters. It was a big change from the last time we played Treaty United at home when they won 5-4. Of course, huge congratulations also to the management team of Sean Byrne, Pat Trehy and Derek O’Neill. ‘I am confident we One very interesting statistic from the game was the fact that there were only 37 will improve and be seconds between Bronagh’s first and second challenging for Europe goals, surely that must be a record. An amazing achievement considering they had to once again. One thing kick off after the first goal, so we had to get possession, move up the pitch and score the is certain, these players goal, well done everyone. and staff have always To tonight’s game, let’s get behind the lads, from a distance, and get this season moving. It fought for the jersey and won’t take much to move up the table, just a will continue to do so this couple of wins and we are more than capable of doing that. season...’ Enjoy the game and stay safe.

with Ned Simpson I t may sound like stating the bleedin’’ obvious, but for a game to take place at any time, never mind during a pandemic, there needs to be a coherent infrastructure in place. At Dalymount, this is provided by a peaceful army of volunteers, but given the current travel restrictions, occasionally the odd body might not be able to turn up for duty. All of which is all a roundabout way of explaining how I got a call asking that as I live within the 5km limit, would I be willing to give a dig-out for the Longford game and help with ball retrieving duties?

with Tony Magner Captain’s Log 2021 W ith a first season under his belt as captain Keith Buckley’s appearance against Longford Town was his 8 th in all competitions since his debut in the big interview 11, and he has been busy bringing all that experience to bear in his relatively new role. He played 1 of our 18 league games last term as skipper in what turned out to be a stellar season for the club. ver popular with the fans due to his ebullient personality and the sense that of all the payers we have had in recent years, he best epitomises the spirit, togetherness and high level of buy-in to the club ethos. Though he admits he is still growing into his new role, something that makes him I went out to straight after work that very proud and privileged. day, he says with a grin, but I had no idea it It has been an honour of course but I’d was for a photoshoot. Sure, my hands were like to think it hasn’t changed me, he explains. covered in paint he laughs. If you look at all I’ve always been someone who has prided the pictures from that day, you’ll see me hiding himself in giving his all, captain or not, but over my hands. the years as I have gained more and more I think it says a lot about the club how experience, I’d like to think I have been as we’ve gone about spending the money good to other players, particularly younger received from the Matt oherty transfer, he ones starting out, as the senior pros were to adds.

and the progress that’s been made since the dark ‘The lockdown has been so times where we didn’t even know if we’d have a club to support. Bucko has seen it all, relegation battles, hard on so many, some have cup heartache, uropean ualification and now the no job, some are finding the transformation of the club into the vibrant growing entity that it is today. restrictions very hard to bear It’s been amazing, he says. I don’t think many for a variety of reasons and clubs in the world would have the backing we have had here.

Yet we as players get to train Talk about giving us the motivation to go out and perform, as if any more was needed. I’d love to know and play and get paid to do how the older Bohs fans feel when they look back to something we love, so how when we were winning leagues and cups but with a huge wage bill and such financial uncertainty. could we give anything less o they prefer the club as it is now with such a than our best to represent this togetherness and community feel but without having won anything of late I’m not saying anything about great club?’ past teams or players, I can only talk about the way things are here now, but every player here buys into the ethos we have as a working-class club in a down- to-earth, working-class area. We have fans all over the place but we are very much a local club in touch with our community. That’s why we’d so love to give people a bit of silverware to celebrate. Bucking The Trend… A loss in Ballybofey a fortnight ago and the loss of a two goal lead last weekend was not the start that the lads would have wanted and things don’t get any easier with the visit of a new-look St. Pat’s side this evening. Bucko feels it is going to be as competitive a league as ever this year and is anxious to continue to put that first defeat behind us and set about erasing the memory of last Saturday’s second half. It was very disappointing to lose our first game, that’s why winning last Saturday in alymount would have been so important. Last year we lost two of our first four and went on to do really well, so there is no sense of panic, just a desire to get back out on the pitch and set things right. Tonight is a massive game for us, the first ublin erby of the season. It may be the first of many, but that doesn’t make them any less special. or some of our new players like Bastien H ry, Ali oote, Liam Burt and a few others, this could be their first taste of a ublin derby and I’m sure they’ll relish it as much as I will if selected. St. Pat’s have strengthened well and will be a tough opponent for us as they always are. Splitting undalk and Shamrock overs last season and finishing in second place may have surprised many outside the club and Keith acknowledges that it will bring pressure and expectation this term.

Whatever happened to... #2 St. Francis Picture L ook we know it’s hard summoning memories that many of us had banished to the Great Pit of Carkoon but the fact is St. Francis were a League of Ireland club, linked with today’s opponents, so fall Framing into this column’s category. Just get it out of the way. A non-League side plying their trade initially in Specialist the Athletic Union League before progressing to the Leinster Senior League, the club was founded initially as a schoolboy club in 1 8 before fielding a men’s senior side ten years later. The Liberties club were one of the top teams at that level and their progress as the first non-League side to the FAI Cup Final 1990 in 50 years was remarkable to say the least. The run saw them dump Cobh Ramblers out of the competition, in Roy Keane’s last game for the club funnily enough and of course ourselves in the semi-final. ranted they rode their luck but still... [Writer led away at this point crying - Ed.] The final itself was remarkable in that it was contested by a non-league and a First Division side. Bray Wanderers ran out 3-0 winners courtesy of a John Ryan hat-trick and that was the last we would see of St. Francis at this level. Or so we thought... With St. James’s Gate withdrawing from the league prior to the 1996/97 season, St. Francis was one of three teams invited to apply for membership and duly succeeded. However their tenure wasn’t anything to write home about. Hammered 0-4 in their opening First Division match against Waterford United, St. Francis finished ninth, eighth and tenth in their opening three seasons at that level. Struggling for support mainly due to St. Patrick’s We frame everything Athletic having a stronghold on support from the Liberties and Clondalkin area, where they played their from diplomas to home matches, they opted to add Fingal to their name in time for the 1999/00 season, in a vain effort to football jersies. attract support from the general area. It looked as if All work completed in the club was coming to the end of it’s League days and in one final attempt to keep the club involved in the our modern and very well League of Ireland, they approached St. Patrick’s Athletic about a proposed merger.

To coincide with our 2021 matchday print series, we’ll be having a quick chat with the artist. First up is Kate O’Loughlin (k8olo) ‘Illustrator finally based in Dublin’. This is the third year Kate has contributed artwork. Kate, whats your favourite memory from a football match? My favourite memory would have to be from my first bohs match in 2017. It started snowing heavy and no one was prepared but the lads in goggle jackets. A lot of your work has football as its subject matter. How did this connection come about for you? The appearance of football in my work is a way of reclaiming the time’s that I was told not to play or that I couldn’t play. I think a lot of people relate to how intimidating football could/can be and the artwork is for them too. It’s also inspired by the times I’ve played Sunday football with 1815fc, where I felt what it’s like to be apart of a strong team and community. What's been keeping you busy over lockdown? Drawing & Eating, but mostly eating. You can keep up with Kates work on her instagram: @k8olo
