    And this is what it says about the rivalry. The rivalry came about in the early 1970's. Rovers are based on the southside of Dublin, while Bohemians are playing on the northside of the city. They are on the opposite side's of the River Liffey. Bit of a mix up there isn't it! And it says Bowez won the league last year

    Well, with 'Northern Ireland' missing from the 'survey', this poll is pretty much redundant.

    Where's the mix-up?
    Bohs play in Dalymount on the Northside and Rovers, now play in Richmond, on the southside.

    Swap Muslims for British Army (Bohs heritage) & Bosnian Croats for ???? & could be talking about the Dublin Derby.

    Weren't Bohemians originally a middle class amateur club. Most of their players were doctors and students at UCD, until the late sixties. They were the Dublin equivalent of Cliftonville from Belfast and the Scottish Queen's Park.
