Bohs and Rovers are being voted top!

Anyone want to do a bit about City v Waaaaherford...

:confused: 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. :)

We did! We won the league in Tolka Park in January 2003 i.e last year ;)

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

You move all the Muslims to the shattered community on one side of the river dividing the city, and all the Bosnian Croats to the other side...

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.
