I hadn’t read it, but yeah Bohs are my local team. Their stadium is at the bottom of my road lol. The area is absolutely mad about the team. The League of Ireland has improved a fucking ton since the pandemic. Fans want to go to games. If every Dublin derby was in the Aviva you’d get 30k every time. We want football but the FAI don’t care. They’re probably happier with Melia going to Spurs for over a million than him becoming a top League of Ireland player or investing any money into improving academies or grassroots football here. The league isn’t even shown regularly on tv here ffs. This paragraph highlights everything wrong with Irish football Issues do remain in Irish football. Broadcasting revenue is well short of what it should be. Academy football is still underdeveloped. Shelbourne’s prize money for winning the top flight last season (€125,000) was less than Shamrock Rovers received for drawing 1-1 with Apoel (€135,000) in the Europa Conference League in October. The Football Association of Ireland is still debt-ridden after the John Delaney years and “doesn’t give financial support to clubs in any way, shape or form”, according to Martin. “The FAI has 350 employees and a wage bill of €17m, which is out of kilter with nearly every single football association in Europe.”

It’s very odd watching the most successful team in Ireland the last few years playing in a European knock out tie and the only international footballer is a Cape Verde player. I really hope we can start to properly improve the league here and seeing the Ireland manager saying “players need to leave” to be considered rather than improving the league is awful. Especially after Bohemians vs Shamrock Rovers brought in 31k people to the first game of the season. We have a top 3 in the world rugby team, and rugby had a much lower player base in the country than football. It’s possible to improve, the FAI just doesn’t give a fuck.

Darwin Nunez, you'll never walk alone UNTIL your boss throws you under the bus publicly!

Manchester United reveal cost of sacking Erik ten Hag in latest financial figures I wonder if all the job cuts at United managed to pay for the £14.5m fee to get rid of ten Hag. Well spent, Jim!

Having a rough go of it the past couple weeks and finally No Joy has clicked with me. I’m obsessed with Lifers, but the whole album is great

Levy has been at every home match recently. And there was an article a few days ago that said he’s staying inside the stadium despite the chants against him because of how much he cares or whatever. Big article on him and trying to build some kind of goodwill toward him. I’m sure it’s not a coincidence that it was released days before the big planned protest on match day tomorrow. And of course, it was just announced that he won’t be at the game. Shocking. lol

I can't remember the last time I saw Bayern being outplayed that much by an opponent like we were today against Leverkusen. We had literally no shot on goal. I have no idea how we even got a point out of this.
