Eire 06 is right. Sure any article which says a bit about any dublin club is going to use the words dublin & city.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

Shamrock Rovers I would have thought to be the most famous. You don't need an internet search for it.
Don't be so sure anymore. A lot of foreign people I talk to only know Shelbourne due to their recent European exploits.Originally Posted by drinkfeckarse

Who ever writes "X football club" on a website? "X FC" is much more likely.

Celebrating 130 Years of Athlone Town Football Club - Pride of the Midlands Since 1887
Your search Dublin City Football Club did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords (e.g. 'Home', 'Farm', or 'Everton')
- Try more general keywords
- Try following a real club![]()
PS:
- Note that there is no such entity as 'Bohemians FC'. Try to keep up!
I'd disagree.Originally Posted by drinkfeckarse
Firstly - what exactly is "most famous". I'm assuming it's that if you asked people around the world to name an Irish club, it would need to be the first one they said.
Football fans all over Europe pretty much know the names of one or two clubs in every country. This knowledge is mostly gained through those teams appearing in, and doing well in, European competition.
At the moment, I'd say Shels would be by far "the most famous club". Their victory over Split combined with their games against Deportivo and Lille gave them a lot of exposure, and people's memories aren't very long.
The English lads I play football with have only really heard of Shels, though one did say Cork when I asked them about Irish footie (though I reckon that was more of an obvious guess). One lad had also heard of Glentoran through a Uni mate, and most knew Linfield (albeit with a bit of prompting in cases.
I'd say that would be repeated around Europe - particularly in Spain, France and Croatia. I doubt if Rovers would even be the most famous club in Poland, even though they played Odra 3 years ago....
