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:

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

well, work hard, be aggressive and function as tonight’s game gives us

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

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.

Emma Devaney AVAILABLETo 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
