    Great signing. Looking forward to seeing what Sean can do around the club and the local area. If we ever get crowds back of course.

    No harm in that at all, a progressive step no doubt. The fella clearly has a respected background in that type of role in a footballing environment.

    I personally no sweet f-a about it but can hardly be critical of them for that. Football will be as affected by future efforts re climate change as any other industry you would imagine.

    There may be no harm to it, but there's no point to it either. It's daft virtue signalling from a club increasingly going into previously uncharted areas of their own hole.

    Do you honestly think football will be as affected by climate change developments as, say, farming? Or fishing? Or tourism? How will changing sea temperatures affect Bohs exactly?

    Even within football, will he be calling on less international scouting for example, or fewer pre-season Asian tours (air travel contributes to global warming)?

    It may get them a few extra fans and column inches, and it's hard to be too critical of that, but let's not go thinking there's anything more to it than that.

    The funniest jokes are at the expense of those that take themselves too seriously.

    A joke of a club.

    "virtue signalling" the language of an idiot.

    There's plenty of potential in this scheme if you bothered to look at it, but then again you seem to think football clubs will be immune from the coming changes and should just carry on being wasteful.

    Nobody takes Bohs as seriously as you on here Mr Obsessed.

    Be careful what you post. You'll be copying the scheme within a couple of years.

    What potential do you see in it?

    I read the press release and it's all hot air. So straight off, he's a nett contributor to climate change. (And easy jokes aside, the press release made no mention of any real potential at all)

    I also dropped in on the Bohs forum there and the reaction is almost uniformly the same as here - meaningless job title and done mainly to target the woke vote.

    I presume Bohs will now be declining a European place as travelling to the away legs will lead to unacceptable carbon emissions.

    "the woke vote" Jaysus, are you going for a full house of this gibberish?

    There's loads of potential to the scheme. I'd imagine for Bohs the big aim is to make the new Dalymount carbon neutral and cut down on the huge waste on match days.

    Have a look at the @EFDN_tweets page if you want to see examples of some of the small grassroots stuff like recycling old clothes that goes on. Then there's the prospects of smart meters and pooling solar energy so we can can potentially buy and sell electricity to each other.

    The world is literally your oyster. So don't be a dinosaur Stu, embrace change.

    Bohs need to incorporate "What's The Harm" as part of their crest at this stage.

    Do you think a carbon neutral Dalymount Park would help see Bohs "play a leadership role in tackling climate change"? How much carbon does a football stadium sitting mostly idle emit? Or how much waste does the club really generate? If you think Bohs generate huge waste or carbon emissions, I'd hate to see what you think of your local supermarket.

    Cutting electricity costs is the job of a General Manager - you don't need a Social Justice Warrior to do that. Or reduce waste.

    "There's loads of potential to the scheme", "There's plenty of potential to the scheme", "Embrace change", "full house of this gibberish", "the world is your oyster", "don't be a dinosaur" - they're meaningless phrases (with some personal abuse thrown in too) that don't actually constitute an argument. Which is appropriate I guess, because that's what the press release was too.

    You seem very upset that another football club is trying to be less wasteful and look to the future and try and cut down on its carbon footprint.

    Very odd behavior.

    That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen re. the League of Ireland. Peak nonsense. Genuinely hilarious.

    Climate justice as a job title is what scoffing is at imo, why not Environmental Sustainability Officer (if even that can be sustainable in Loi). That said Bohs have been the most successful club in recent years in growing a fan base through community projects and action. If this appeals to the younger age groups they may have the last laugh if a new generation of support is added. Shels will have a huge amount of work to do when they end up in Dalymount to catch up on on being embedded in a community
