On this day 100 years ago Ireland played Italy in Turin at Juventus' Corso Marsiglia stadium, losing 3-0. The Italian FA did extensive promo for the game, enclosed is the stadium with the starting XIs listed from a newspaper ad. 📷 @mickielty.bsky.social

For many years the FAI Cup final was a St. Patrick's Day affair - Bohs won their first FAI Cup on March 17th 1928 defeating Drumcondra 2-1. The match was officiated by John Langenus who would take charge of the first World Cup final in 1930. abohemiansportinglife.com/2021/11/27/t...

Did you know that Joseph Stalin & Winston Churchill appeared at Dalymount in the 1950s? Love this footage from one of the Inkblots & Crackpots matches youtu.be/xPY0aCxIf84?...

One of biggest issues with modern CL is how there are no longer exciting challengers that can emerge from non-super clubs, the necessary counters to giants - eg Kyiv 1997-99, Valencia 1999-2001, Lyon 2002-08 etc But are Uefa thinking about this enough? www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Here's your disappointingly regular reminder that it isn't a Panenka; it's a Roseboom.

Just launched on Saturday, there are two new books available from the Bohs store - the first is an updated version of Ciaran Priestley's early history of the club with some additional content from myself and Brian Trench t.co/gEPNk0cUjx

Quick reminder we'll be launching these booklets tomorrow in Dalymount at 1pm

Book launch in Dalymount this Saturday- stall it along www.shop-bohemianfc.com/collections/...

A few years ago I wrote about Ray Keogh, a star player in a golden age for Drumcondra and Ards in the 1960s Came across this pic of Ray next to my Dad (the one with the ball at his feet) in 1971 when they won the Intermediate Cup with Tullamore. abohemiansportinglife.com/?p=6103

A 120-page filing has been submitted to the ICC accusing FIFA's President Infantino and UEFA's President Ceferin of "aiding and abetting war crimes (specifically, the transfer of civilian population into [Palestine] occupied territories) and crimes against humanity (specifically, apartheid)."

A bit on the people who owned much of Phibsborough back in the day and about how @bfcdublin.bsky.social got a lease on Dalymount. abohemiansportinglife.com/2026/01/15/d...

A piece I've done up about the Death if Patrick Sex in Dublin during the War of Independence and what this can tell us about football in Ireland at the time. abohemiansportinglife.com/2025/11/27/t...

An often forgotten Irish footballing great, Alex Stevenson passed away on this date 40 years ago. A piece about his storied and successful career here abohemiansportinglife.com/2021/01/04/a...

Delighted to be doing a bit again this year for the Dublin festival of History in my local library in Drumcondra. The focus of the talk this year is Peter Hoban, revolutionary, footballer, Trade Union leader and a local of Phibsborough dublinfestivalofhistory.ie/event/the-li...

Harrison McCloy is the sixth former Bohemian FC player that I can find listed as having been killed during WWI. McCloy was a player for Bohemians from 1902-05 and served as a club Vice President from the 1905-06 season through to 1911-12. More on it here abohemiansportinglife.com/2016/06/29/b...

Lovely piece on Dublin football and beer, featuring some familiar names if you’ve read my book, ‘Shades of Green’ www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/8/...

In the course of writing this I was LOI-pilled. Absolutely radicalised by the Greatest League in the World

The ailing world of Dublin football and the misunderstood world of modern beer got bored of being forgotten and clubbed together. The result? Flourishing scenes for both. @eoghanwalshbxl.bsky.social heads to Dublin to drink beer, watch Bohs, and find out more. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/8/...

Thanks to @gerrytastic.bsky.social for the share. Never heard this story before - the IRA in the War of Independence burning down part of Man City’s ground and being caught trying to burn down Old Trafford. www.rte.ie/centuryirela...

I'd highly recommend any of the books by my friend Chris Lee from the @outsidewrite.bsky.social blog & podcast. His latest effort, Shades of Green, is a part history, part travelogue of football in Ireland with some great contributors involved.

Bohemians have said they are aiming to teach pupils about the Irish experience of immigration so they have a better understanding of the situation immigrants here have, and that they are doing this through sport to make it more accessible to the children

Ian Harte when he hears that hard-up Premier League owners like Jim Ratcliffe, Clearlake Capital or the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund just got asked for a 10% sell-on clause by a League of Ireland club.

An ask for @bfcdublin & @LeagueofIreland folks. Am doing a bit of work to try and track down surviving members of Bohs 1974-75 title winning team to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their triumph. Have got in touch with 5-6 already but appreciate any help getting others.

Not the best photo I know but this Shamrock was carved by Rovers fan out of timber salvaged from Glenmalure Park. On display in the Little Museum of Dublin.

Thanks to @footballandwar.bsky.social for carrying my post on a brief history of football and sectarianism in Northern Ireland It's a theme that's unavoidable in the Ulster chapter of my upcoming book, and there are way more positive stories in the book Read on 👉 www.wlv.ac.uk/research/res...

Powerful front page from L'Humanité on Jean Marie Le Pen: 'His Profession Was Hatred'. The dagger pictured was recovered at the scene of the brutal torture and murder of Ahmed Moulay in Algiers in 1957. One of multiple pieces of evidence showing Le Pen was a torturer.

While Ferencváros are in the news in Ireland, as well as the significant right wing following they enjoy, here's a short video about two of their former players who were anti-fascist martyrs who saved hundreds from the holocaust. youtu.be/TIrqk22dwDY

Nightmarish shit. Nobody wants or has asked for this.
