    I knew the league was disorganised...

    From wcities.com

    The Irish Premiere league does not enjoy the fanatical popularity of its English equivalent, even in Ireland, but Dublin’s best football (soccer) club draws good crowds to the Dalymount Park, especially against arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers. The players thrill the hometown crowd, and have made Bohemians a perennial championship contender. The season runs from Feb to the end of Nov and the matches are played randomly on the dates in between; check the website for specific dates and details. Game day tickets are EUR10 adults; EUR5 students and seniors.
    The bit about games being played "randomly" gave me a bit of a laugh. The thought of Pat Fenlon driving round the players' houses at 3 in the morning, tipping them out of bed, "Lads, quick, Drogheda have just turned up at Dalymount"...

    Those ticket prices would be good all the same.

    I'd like that, at least it gives us a chance of getting a result there

    The idea about Bohs being "perennial" title contenders made me laugh !

    Unless perennial now means "two"......

    Undoubtedly written by a Gypsy in some shape or form.

    I highly doubt it, surely if he was a LoI fan, he'd know that the league starts in March.

    That's the worst advertisement for a club I've seen yet
