Bit of news - I'm researching for my first book which will focus on

I'd love to hear from any players, fans, coaching staff etc. from the past who'd like to share their stories.

It's why every time they reach an All Ireland final his fellow Tipperary people visit the street - as they did last year.

A familiar sight for many on the walk to Croke Park is the Fairview Jewish cemetery.
Looking better after some upgrade works by the Council.
Sign above the door reads built in the year 5618 (in the Jewish calendar) which would be 1857 but it's been in use since early C18th

Reminder that 6' 5" Usain Bolt - the literal fastest man who has ever lived - failed to make the grade in the Australian A League & got dragged over his technical ability by no less a luminary than Andy Keogh.
It’s amazing how some top English soccer club hasn’t given David Clifford a trial considering he has more talent in his small toe than some of these 50m players. If they can make soccer players out of Niall Quinn and Kevin Moran, well then Clifford can’t be an impossibility.

The man who held Collins as he died was former
@bfcdublin
player & future club President Emmet Dalton.
Collins' autopsy was later performed by former Bohs outside-left Oliver St. John Gogarty.
This day 98 years ago - 22 August 1922 - Michael Collins was shot dead in an ambush at Béal na mBláth by members of the IRA opposed to the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
Collins, with Arthur Griffith, had helped negotiate the treaty which led to the establishment of the Irish Free State.

Liam Whelan (right) scores for Manchester United against Shamrock Rovers in a European Cup match in Dalymount Park, 25th Sep 1957.

Lads I don't want to freak you out but wait until you hear who Ireland played at Dalymount in the 1930s.
A reminder that Dalymount played host to Israel in the 80s.....in a friendly match. Can't find any 'protests' by Bohs fans then? Nor is there a Palestine flag in sight?
Just speaking facts
Wonderful club when it suits an agenda...

Think this could be a fantastic reason to bring back a League of Ireland XI side and is a cause I could see the public really get behind.
Jonathan Hill confirms there has been an approach to play Palestine in a game but it's a non-runner for senior team to play them because of windows.
But says talks about some kind of LOI team facing them are ongoing. "LOI department taking look at logistics"

As usual I try to insert Bohemian FC into Irish history so here are the Bohs - Michael Collins death connections from 100 years ago.

There is a little bit of this sort of comment on here after the departure of Keith Long.
Including from a few people who should know better. So please indulge a very short thread on the many misconceptions that abound about Bohs extracurricular activities...

@stevehendo07
Ah so what is the reason for winning nothing for the last 8 years and being 'part time'. If the club concentrated their efforts in funding for top players instead of paying a poet and climate officer, you may have a point.. Sure nothing a hipster kit release won't fix anyways.

The only certainty in the the career of a football manager is that this day happens for everyone.
So important to remember how much Keith did for the club & how far he brought us & raised expectations. Am sure he'll always be welcomed & respected around Dalymount.
It is with regret that Bohemian FC has today parted company with men's first team manager Keith Long:
❤️🖤 Keith showed a loyalty to our club that is rare in football, and he can call himself a true Bohemian.
