No...? (http://www.stigonline.com/misc/art0507051.htm)

[SkStu]

no. why, do you not believe me?

[pineapple stu]

I was directing you to some more information about him.

Thought it was well known enough, though.

[Terry]

great man, true supporter of the game.

[Finlay Harp]

Seems like the sort of man you could sit and talk to all day about football. He has restored my faith in Bohemians!!!

Quality stuff there it has to be said. But it truth, there simply aint enough of it, not just from Bohs but from every club. Its alive and well, but we just dont show it enough. If there ever is change then i think some of us who knew its always been there will be pleasantly surprised.

Viva la eircom League, ridacchiamo appena sul margine di successo

[The Man Himself]

Nice video - a true gent - more people should sit up and take notice. One question - people were talking about some scumbags attacking Rovers fans on the No.16 bus a few days ago - I saw a flag at a recent Bohs game that had 'Notorious Boo Boys' on it - was that the same crowd of young thugs? They should be made watch these videos.

"some of the fans are disgusting" at least he is honest and has his eyes open!

The NBB are the guys who do the flag/flares displays at Bohs matches - kind of like the SEI, the BD and other similar groups.

They're not the lads who are involved in the trouble the other night - that was the rather cretinous BSC - the sooner they take a short walk off a tall cliff and leave us all alone the better

Absolutely not the same people. The NBB are football fans that do flag displays and promote general match day atmosphere. I think it's very important for people to draw the distinction.
At the last Bohs-Rovers match the NBB and the casuals stood at opposite sides of the ballbough. They're very different.

Didn't think they were - thanks for pointing that out. The Bohs and Rovers rivalry is good for the League but getting violent about it is just sad and so 80's!

As someone who's earphones are constantly on the highest setting I'd just like to say cheers for posting that up, that high pitch tone at the start really made my day :p:o

[Risteard]

Great clip.
As stated above, there's easily a good mini-series in this.
Just keep Noelle Feeney out of it.
Did David 'Rocky' O'Brien play for Bray aswell?

[LeixlipRed]

Great stuff. Imagine 50,000 in Dalyer. That'd bring a tear to the eye! That chap seems like a true gent as well. Cheers for the link

And there's plenty of archive footage around to show how popular Association Football was back in the day's. Maybe it's something the FAI could join forces with our Public Service Broadcaster on and promote.;)

Great clip but ruined by the absolutely appalling use of the apostrophe :(
