This one topless fan, who looked like Jabba the Hut in shorts, stands up to return the gesture.įred Davis: Barry Reid, he’s the president of the supporters club and a very close friend to Matt (Devaney). In the very far corner of the stadium, I spotted a group of Bohemian fans sitting behind an official Bohs flag which was tied to the posts.Īndy Sheriff: Looks like the support has turned up in force.įred shouts the name and gives a thumbs up in the direction of our fans. Michael Johnson: Nah, it just looks as if people are turning up just to watch the footy, I doubt they even know who either of us are. Graham O’Hanlon: Please say United aren’t here we’ll get fucking hammered off them. I wasn’t the only one to pick up on this. Why did I think this?
