Hard to believe but we’ve only got three programmes lef, barring of course an FAI Cup quarter and/or semi-fnal home draw which will extend the run to a relatvely more respectable look. Of course we all know the reason for the that, the year which we shall write of come beter days. As it stands we don’t even know what next year’s calendar will be like. I dread to think how that will be afected if things don’t improve with that virus. Premier Division I was thinking back to when we rebooted the league and I was preparing 1923/24, 1927/28, 1929/30, for the frst programme back, against Dundalk. As it stood then in a mild 1933/34, 1935/36, 1974/75, July, we would only play one match behind closed doors before a small 1977/78, 2000/01, 2002/03, trickle of support would be allowed come back once more. Our plan was 2008, 2009 to produce an online editon for that game while resuming printng for the subsequent editons, something which the whole programme team and of FAI Cup course the lads at Just-Print looked forward to. Because no mater what, 1927/28, 1934/35, 1969/70, there’s nothing like fitng through a freshly printed match programme 1975/76, 1991/1992, before the match. Online editons, while serving a purpose of sorts, just 2000/01, 2008 don’t ofer that same satsfacton. Almost two months in and we’re stll here totng up these online League Cup editons. It has ofen slipped my mind while putng an editon together 1974/75, 1978/79, 2009 that it will only get as far as PDF format and won’t be added to my collecton. That’s why I was adamant the Europa League editon be printed. Setanta Cup There’s no way on Earth we could let the 50th anniversary of our frst 2010 match in Europe competton pass us by. The content was of the general kind so nothing had dated come kick-of. Leinster Cup Other teams are producing print editons, but if their producton path 1895/95 - 2016: follows a similar curve to ours then that would mean a lot of content would A record 32 ttles be out of date come match day which, to me, is not an opton and would LoI Shield achieve nothing but confusion.

AsWeWere A day shy of six months since Bohs clinched the league title at Tolka Park, the league table in this edition saw us sit worryingly in sixth position after 12 games with only three wins to our name and a succession of draws. The editorial, incidentally penned by my predecessor, comments on the measures enforced to prevent post-match pitch invasions “with out forthcoming Champions League campaign in mind. A draconian fne, or any other for that matter, is the last thing we need...” These measures involved a succession of stewards standing pitchside of the hoardings and holding up a thick orange mesh which worked a treat. In his notes, Stephen Kenny mentions watching the upcoming Champions League opponents BATE Borisov against Dinamo Brest but strangely elaborates on a trip to the RSC the previous week where he had no ticket but was directed to a car parking space and a seat in the stand by stewards!

The emergence and form of Dawson Devoy has been one of the many positves this season for the Bohemian faithful. The composure and assurance he displays in that number jersey is commendable for a man so young and he looks for all the world like a lad who has been around a lot longer than he has. A whisker away from his frst Bohemian goal with a superb curling shot against Dundalk, he showed his confdence with a long-range lob against St.Pat’s from just inside the halfway line. Alas, Dawson’s efort dropped just over the bar but surely that frst strike is not far away. Disappointments in Budapest and then Tallaght notwithstanding, he is loving his football at Bohs and is keen to work hard, develop his game and become more and more of a frst team opton for eith Long. It was really tough to take, he said afer the fnal whistle in Tallaght last Saturday. e didn’t start as well as we’d have liked but I thought we were the beter side in the second half and were worth at least a draw. I feel we were really unlucky not to get a penalty, partcularly the one on Danny rant, but there’s nothing we can do about it now. The game is gone and though it really hurts, we have a to move on and do the job against aterford.
