Men acquire a particular
quality by constantly acting a particular way...you become just by
performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions,
brave by performing brave actions.

First The Good News
And another season is go. Before we turn our attention to the train
wreck masquerading as a Bohs first team allow me to dive head first
into some unashamed cheerleading. While we will be taking the walk
of shame later lets go on a walk of acclaim first. Turn your
cynicism levels down and raise the rafters for some true Bohemians
worthy of honours.

Talking in Tongues
The whole team behind the immigrant promotion scheme. Championed and
got off the ground by Gavin Healy who enlisted expert help in the
form of Colin Byrne, Bobby Harpur and others. The turnaround from
conception to completion was breakneck and the results breathtaking.
The club and the club's marketing department in particular have been
gifted an absolute gem, or more accurately a jewel cabinet stuffed
with gems. Attention to detail here has been disgracefully
un-Bohemian, right down to preparing their own press releases, so
the club wouldn't have to bother, nice. I could actually spend the
whole article gushing forth my admiration and fandom on this one big
win for the club and my appreciation for those who realised it.

Computer World
Another massive off-field achievement for Bohemians, which may have
slipped in underneath many people's radar, is the modestly titled
Membership Database. Initially a team effort it wasn't long before
that man Colin Byrne was again in the driving seat this time custom-crafting a club database solution especially for Bohemians. Perhaps
the club might even eventually get around to using the specially
updated membership application forms, a year and a half since they
were given them. If a new Membership Database doesn't sound
especially sexy then go out and go to market and get a quote for
that type of work. I am no expert but from my own soundings expect
to pay anywhere from €50K - €130K. Colin's scorched earth approach
to supporting the club might not win him many fans in the dressing
room but in my surgery he is king. Colin, don't forget to pop by the
surgery and pick up your script for one season's worth of Xanax, I
reckon you're going to need it.

Phoenix From The
Flames
Last but certainly not least (I know I have mentioned this before,
but it bares repeating) is the wonderful new Phoenix Bar, a
collaborative effort between the Dalymount Trust (take note Jeff
Moran), Bar Director Denis Maher and Bar Manager Fiachra Hoey. This
is an imaginative and exciting new approach to EL Club bar design
and ALL concerned certainly made sure the club got a lot of bang for
its buck. Well done lads.
Three thrilling and highly valuable new additions to the club and
gifted, in large measure, by the fans. Now all the club has to do is
make use of them. What could possibly go wrong?
