It turns out Fatboy Slim is a fan of the Notorious Boo-Boys!
The NBB used the lyrics of “Praise You” as a banner display against Shamrock Rovers in June – and Fatboy Slim capped off his 3 Arena New Year’s Eve set with a picture of it as his backdrop.
As we bow out of 2015 and look forward to 2016, we would like to thank you all for your continued support throughout our 125th anniversary year.
Saddled with seemingly-insurmountable debts, at various stages over the past five years or so, the very existence of our club has been in jeopardy, while the likelihood of us remaining in Dalymount Park seemed unimaginable.
There have been many setbacks and sleepless nights along the way. But we can now enter 2016 with confidence – and look forward to the future Dublin City Council redevelopment of Dalymount Park, our home since 1901.
None of this would have been possible without the support of our members, fans, fundraisers, volunteers, local and national politicians, the FAI, the goodwill of many of our creditors, and our growing relationship with Dublin City Council.
To everyone who has pulled together to secure the future of our great club, we salute you and wish you the very best for 2016.
Bohemians are delighted to announce defender Anto Murphy has re-signed for 2016, while striker Mark Quigley has rejoined from Derry City.
Murphy, 33, rejoined Bohs in August 2013 having won two league titles, the FAI Cup, the Setanta Cup and the EA Sports Cup during his first spell at the club between 2008 and 2010.
Quigley, 30, previously played for the club in 2011. The following season he won the PFAI Players’ Player of the Year as he helped Sligo Rovers to the league title.
Meanwhile, Bohemians have provisionally arranged the following pre-season fixtures. Please note that venues, dates and kick-off times are subject to change.
Bohemians are delighted to announce the appointment of ex-player Graham Lawlor as their new under-19 manager for the 2016 season. The former Bohemian centre forward brings a wealth of experience to the role having been assistant manager in successive promotions with Athlone Town and Longford Town in the last two seasons.
Graham is well-known to Bohemian supporters as a frequent goal-scorer during his time with the club in the late 1990s. He will be assisted in his new role by ex-Bohemian goalkeeper Craig Sexton, now a coach, who worked with the club’s under-17 team in the campaign that ended recently.
Robbie Horgan leaves his position as U19 manager. Bohemian FC thanks Robbie for his professionalism and dedication during his time in that role and wishes him every success in the future.
The 2016 Bohemian FC calendar will be available in The Bohs Store at Dalymount Park and online in the coming days. The calendar features the best images, on the pitch and in the stands (and over the River Liffey…) captured over the past twelve months by photographers Eddie Lennon, Tom Beary, David Lane and Paul Reynolds. Priced at €12.50, it is the ideal Christmas stocking-filler for any Bohs-mad family or friends!
David McSherry recently caught up with Bohs’ 2015 Player of the Season Roberto Lopes at the Bohemian Bar in Phibsborough. Pico discusses life on and off the pitch as a player for the club, his highs and lows of the 2015 season, as well as his hopes for the forthcoming season.
