Instead we’ll say goodbye to our home league matches with no-one bar staf and ofcials atending and with a Cup quarter fnal stll to be, hopefully, played! It’s been the most surreal of years for everyone, who’d have thought when we hosted Rovers in the sheets of rain back in February that only a few short weeks later, everything would be turned upside down. As a result we only managed to print three programmes, four with the producton of the Europa Premier Division League special and because of that I’ve been denied much of the regular 1923/24, 1927/28, 1929/30, face to face banter and interacton that accompanies the positon. We’ve 1933/34, 1935/36, 1974/75, ploughed on relentlessly but a huge gap stll ensued. So I’m taking the chance 1977/78, 2000/01, 2002/03, to thank all who have assisted me over the course of the season. 2008, 2009 To Tony Magner, Stephen Burke, Robert McDonald, Dan McSwiney, Ryan Clarke, Aidan Fitzmaurice, Paul Walsh, Declan Farrell, Gerard Farrell, FAI Cup Keith Long, Chris Brien, Eric Lalor, Deirdre and Laura Cliford, Lynn O’Neill, Jule 1927/28, 1934/35, 1969/70, Marks, Tommy Hynes, Paddy Murray, Gavin White, Keith Murphy, Eamon Carr, 1975/76, 1991/1992, Dan Brennan, Bartley Ramsey, Shaun Maher, Derek Swan, Donal Broughan, 2000/01, 2008 Luke O’Riordan... a huge thank you for all your help, contributons and artcles throughout the year.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since we last had JJ Lunney in these pages during his frst spell with the club back in the 2018 season where he made 21 league appearances. A er a year away in Waterford, the year old former Malahide nited, Preston North End and St. Patrick’s Athletc man is back in the Bohemian engine room, at last a veteran of European football having been denied said honour at Waterford. Capped at all levels up to u for Ireland, the Swords man has made league appearances this season with two more in the cups. Both JJ and Conor Levingston have made our midfeld one of the most compettve spots in the team.
Super 8… He started the season in the frst eleven and remained there untl recent weeks when the aforementoned Levingston regained the shirt, a mirror opposite of his frst spell at Dalymount when it was JJ who had to bide his tme. He came to the fore a er the departure of Dylan Wats that season and never really looked back. We went on a long unbeaten run towards the end of that season and it was by far and away the most I had enjoyed my football in my career up to that point, he smiles. We played some lovely stuf as a team and I was pleased with my contributon to that. The frst few months were tough but Dylan was playing so well that I really couldn’t have any complaints What was important was that when my chance did come along I took it and fnished the season strongly.
Playing The Blues… He had a tough call to make that winter when Waterford came calling. In the end, a wrench though it was, the lure of European football proved too strong to resist. Waterford were denied that very opportunity in the end but JJ Has no regrets about his tme down south or the decision he made to leave in the frst place. It was a very tough break Gypsy Return… and a real kick in the teeth When Keith Long came calling being removed from Europe but last winter, JJ was ready to come that’s football, he recalls with back to Phibsborough and jumped a wince.

When Dylan was and growing into the season as the in the team, there was talk of results kept coming. me going out on loan to get Keith showed a lot of belief some game tme, but by the in me to put me in straight away, mater or wasn’t a biter pill for the tme the season ended I was in the especially given how well Conor club and the players to swallow, frst eleven every week and really did last season.

I went to primary school in St. Peter’s, right beside Dalymount Park, where GAA ruled and soccer was ignored, even though internatonals like Liam Whelan and Gerry Daly had passed through the same halls. I can stll remember the evening in 1983 (I was 11) when a I thought those days, and that soccer. buzz went around the place as we deep divide, had long since passed.
