What a special atmosphere. The Dublin Derby completely exceeded expectations. Help share this around, let's get Irish football on the map.

Thanks for bringing attention to football in Ireland . Unfortunately most people prefer to watch teams in England like Liverpool and united from their couch but videos like this encourage them to support their local team and watch football as it shows what exactly their missing out on

Respect to thogden trying to make Irish football more well known and more respected by the people the EA and the other people above in football ⚽️ 🇮🇪

My club (PAOK) played against Bohemians in the summer for the conference league qualifiers and when we played them in Greece I managed to talk to some people from the club that came for the game, lovely people, really hope Irish football will get the recognition it deserves PS: they actually beat us in the first game 2-1, then we won 2-0, and now we are almost through to thw last 8 of the competition, this shows that maybe the level in Ireland isn’t as low as people may think

It’s always great to see Irish football getting the attention it deserves and for it to be on such a big channel is a deadly sight to see I hope this won’t be the last time I’ll see it on here

Thogden doing more for the league than the FAI have ever done 👏👏

As someone from Dublin, I'm so happy you went. The atmosphere is amazing.

Hope you enjoyed it Theo! You are welcome back anytime! 🇮🇪🟢⚪️

Thanks for coming man it’s really a shame the lack of investment in the league and millions of Irish not supporting their local and instead supporting Liverpool and United

When I went to university here in Germany, two Irish lads came for a visit in the house I lived in. They were not just following the Premier League like most of the Irish (and the German 3rd tier which surprised me), they were also enjoying their local Irish clubs. One of them was a Drogheda United supporter, the other was into Shelbourne. Very friendly and decent people.

A few things about the League of Ireland: 1/ The season runs from February to November. Last Friday's match was Rovers' 5th and Bohs' 4th league games of the season. Sligo vs Bohs on the opening weekend was postponed due to weather 2/ The most successful team is Shamrock Rovers with 19 league titles and 25 FAI Cup wins. They are chasing a 20th league title and European group stage football this year 3/ The league is seen to have a lack of quality. This is down to comparisons being made with the Premier League. Most football fans in Ireland support Liverpool, Man United or Celtic. In an interview before the draw for the group stage of the 2016/2017 Europa League, Stephen Kenny (current Ireland manager) said he didn't want Dundalk to draw Man United because it would've meant two away games. 4/ RTE (Irish national broadcaster) has the rights to the League of Ireland. It is only televising 18 games all season, 14 league, 3 men's cup (including final) and the women's cup final. Three Irish teams reached the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League last year (Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk). They wouldn't show any of their matches as it would interfere with coverage of the Olympics. Shamrock Rovers reached the play off round and the second leg against Flora Tallinn was only televised because they were contractually obligated. 5/ There is little support from the FAI. Under John Delaney's premiership the LOI was seen as a 'problem child' and funding (including European and domestic prize money) was withheld from clubs. Too many clubs have gone under in the last 20 year (Kildare County, Kilkenny City, Dublin City, Sporting Fingal, Mervue United, Salthill Devon and Monaghan United to name a few). Almost every club has also faced an existential financial crisis in that time, including both Bohs and Rovers. 6/ There is a huge level of camaraderie between fans of all clubs when it comes to European games. While Man City and Liverpool fans want to see each other lose in Europe, Rovers and Bohs fans, for the most part, want to see each other's clubs go through. I heve never heard of this anywhere else in Europe. The best example of this was Dundalk in the Champions League playoffs in 2016 against Legia Warsaw. Over 30 thousand people turned up to cheer them on at the Aviva with fans wearing any assortment of LOI club tops. I seen Dundalk (obviously), Bohs, Rovers, St Pats, Cork City, Galway United and Finn Harps fans just near where I was sitting. 7/ Attendances are on the up all around the league. Bohs sold out season tickets, Rovers sold over 3.5k STs. The match between St Pats and Rovers the week before in Richmond Park was, like Rovers and Bohs, sold out days beforehand. Drogheda vs UCD was also sold out. In the second tier over 5k were at Cork City, Galway United and Waterford both sold out. The FAI Cup final in November between Bohemians and St Pats had nearly 40 thousand at it. For comparison, in 2012 there was only 17 thousand at it. The league is on the up and I'd encourage you and anyone else visiting to try and get to a match if you can.

Well done lads, glad you came over to promote our league. I did a Matchday Vlog from the Bohs end!

I love the fact you went to Dublin for the match cuz I'm from Ireland myself and its gonna be a video I remember forever loving the videos keep it up🇮🇪🇮🇪

Thanks so much for coming over, you've nearly given it us as much coverage as our television companies 🤣 Next derby you're at over here you should come down to Drogheda in the summer when we play Dundalk in a fierce Louth derby. If you're around in November especially the biggest game in Irish football is the FAI cup final in the Aviva with 30k - 40k people at them, atmosphere matches that of South America it's insane. Thanks again 🇮🇪

As a irish man i am so happy u came and u were wearing the irish colours theo ur a legend🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Great to see you and Thogdad come to Ireland🇮🇪 If you want a recommendation for for the next time your here, there's a derby between Sligo Rovers and Shamrock Rovers that always has a great atmosphere! It's well worth going to if you get the chance!!

Respect for thogden for sharing the Dublin Derby. Such an underrated league and the atmospheres are incredible. If u want another team to go to in Ireland I would consider st pats and Shelburne as they are new to the league🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Great exposure for the league. Thanks for this thogden. Hope you enjoyed it and come back again🙌🇮🇪

Great vlog Theo. delighted to see you enjoyed it. Great recognition for the league👏

I live in New York but am from Dublin and my mother is from Kerry, me and my family go back every summer, and we always make sure to see a Rovers game. Last time I was there was two years ago and there was no football, but three years ago I watched Rovers smash Drogheda 5-0. Spurs are my team, but I love to watch local teams, so I support NYCFC over here, who beat CF Montreal 4-1. I went to Philadelphia to watch them play in the Eastern Conference Final, the MLS is so underrated, it was a great atmosphere there.

Fantastic fan. As a Cork City fan it's always great to see the league being promoted. I've been to the Dublin derby once before and and as a neutral I can say its the best atmosphere I've ever experienced. Keep up the good work

I,m from Dublin and I,m so happy you went to the big Irish Derby because I love football and I love Irish football so thank you so much and keep up the brilliant vlogs UP THE IRISH!!!!

League of Ireland getting the attention it deserves cheers thogden great video ☘☘☘

Class by Thogden and Thogdad. Putting Irish football on the map! 👏🏻🇮🇪

Huge respect for what you’ve done for Irish football giving the coverage like that🇮🇪. Super hoops

Please go to more, Im Irish and i love these games and would like the league to get bigger. I also would love for you to go to see a longford town game as they're my favourite irish club

Liked the vlog, captured what the Dublin Derby is all about. Thanks for supporting Irish Football. Our league is growing, vlogs like yours help. You have a new subscriber.

As I’m partly Irish and Scottish I wanna say thankyou!! Thanks for putting Scottish and Irish football under attention as an Englishman yourself. It may not be as good,big,spectaculair and modern as English football, but here it’s still ‘the peoples’ game. That’s what football makes so classy in those countries. No big money,no big investors, no new hightech stadiums. Just a pitch, a ball and fans with passion who love their club. Class again Lads, hope you had a nice stay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪👋🏼

Shelbourne 1 of the biggest clubs in Irish Football (and Dublin) and the government wants to demolish our ground Tolka Park. The Save Tolka Park Movement is in full swing and everyone should give it support. Irish Football is elite and should be treated as such. Thanks for bringing eyes to the League

I enjoyed that so thank you. My mother is Irish (Co. Galway) and my father is English (Bristol) Always loved going to Ireland but never ever thought about taking the time to watch any football in Eire, which is a shame as I'm a regular at Bristol Rovers. Next time I'm in the Motherland I will definitely make a point of attending a game............... Where ever that may well be? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇮

Incredible content! Thank you!!!

I've been a Rovers fan since 2011 when I was 7 years old and I'd just like to say thanks to you both for making a video about Ireland's biggest derby and showing that Irish sports is not just about the Gaelic football, hurling and rugby

Although as a Bohs fan it kills me to see you with the Rovers fans, I’m very thankful you’re bringing light to the League of Ireland & enjoyed the match,,, we’ll get you down to Dalymount ((Bohs stadium)) in April or September when we play Rovers again and show you why Dublin is really Red & Black🔴⚫️

Nice work I respect your pure passion foe the connection of fans and the pitch it’s nothing without

great to see that you were in dublin for the big derby thogden show the Irish football league some love hope you enjoyed it

I love these vlogs ♥️ keep up the great work

Fair play trying to promote the League of Ireland action, great video even if it was a tad Shamrock Rovers centric for this Bohemian boyo.🔴⚫😉

What an experience that must have been! Thogden, you've been everywhere this week producing amazing content. Just don't forget to have a break and some time off to recharge the batteries! ⚽️👍

Great vid. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend in Dublin.

Thanks so much Thogden and Thogdad for promoting the league hope you come back sometime. I recommend coming to Rovers playing in the champions league qualifiers in the summer

Thanks for coming to Ireland thogden 🇮🇪

Hope you had a good time in Ireland 🇮🇪 always welcome back! Class video

What an absolute legend. Hope you and thogdad enjoyed tallaght. Thogden doing more for the league than the FAI ever has . #greatestleagueintheworld 💚☘️

I’m from Luton, England and I’m half irish/half English. I support Ireland in everything and if I was to choose either It would be in favour for Ireland because I love supporting underdogs. I’ve been supporting the league of Ireland for ages and have been trying to get my friends and family into supporting it aswell, plus all the ignorant Irish football fans that support pl teams (plastics). Thank you for sharing this great league Theo, please do it again.

Thogden your amazing man Madrid wednesday, Glasgow thrusday, dublin friday. Content machine

5 on trending and OMG YOUR IN IRELAND 🇮🇪 thanks so much! Never do people visit irish football and you did thanks for coming

Congratulations on 800k

The ugh when someone english asks the irish for a 'perfect' guinness 😂😂

Thank you so much Thogden Irish league needs this. Up the hoops 🟢⚪️🟢⚪️

thanks for coming to ireland to see irish clubs play, next time come to sligo rovers the atmosphere is class and im sure it will be great!

Great vid thogden lad. Shame I didn’t get up to talk to ye during the game. I do a similar thing to what you do but for rovers home and away☘️ Got a picture with your dad, he’s a gent. Dublins Forever Green and White💚

Thank you so much for hopping on the Rovers bandwagon, we really need the support for the league here in Ireland. Can't thank you enough mate!

That's the biggest and most hostile game/derby in our country and you can see why there was 7500 people there, always a tense unbelievable atmosphere and game. The other one would be the Munster derby between Cork City FC and Waterford FC, the league doesn't get the attention it deserves and I'm very glad you went to experience it in Dublin. From a Waterford FC fan👏

Excellent video buddy, glad you enjoyed the Dublin Derby! Great promotion for our league!!

Thanks so much for your support. 🇮🇪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Big respect to Thogden for the coverage of the game. As a bohs fan, result was shite but this video sick. Keep it up man

As someone from Ireland 🇮🇪 this video is perfect for Irish football it is exactly what it needs a bit of attention from creators as country so driven on hurling and Gaelic which you should go and see it’s mind blowing you should go to more Irish game as Dundalk are playing shamrock rovers in Dundalk in a week or 2 soccer is huge in Ireland every kid plays it but kids from Ireland just want to support your likes of man united and Liverpool because they are top teams but they don’t support their local like your rovers and your Dundalk please like so thogden and thogdad can see it

Interestingly insight Thogden , good work.

I live in Ireland and football is so underrated from other countries when we have true passion for the game and you giving it attention is a big deal and more people might want to come see the Irish league. COME ON IRELAND

Great to see you coming to our country. Thanks Theo. I’m a cork city fan. + Man Utd ❤️

Legend 🐐 you are always welcome back 🇮🇪👊🏻

Fantastic coverage. You really showed the passion of the fans, especially the ultras who are given a bad press at times. You showed that they are actually quite pleasant chaps up close.

Thanks for coming to Ireland mate!

That looked like fun !! Seems football in Ireland, north and south, deserves more attention from the TV companies

You have to go to Dalymount (Bohemians home ground) for the return fixture. As for the game, we were not clinical enough. To be fair, our best player this season, Promise Omochere, was super harshly sent off last game after a dive by a Finn Harps player, and the manager Keith Long us after losing his mother so that mightve played a part. But still, not clinical enough. Credit to rovers though, they were so much better, they should've been 2 or 3 nil up at the end. Thanks for giving league of Ireland so much attention, appreciated so much. Bohs till I die ❤🖤 Also congrats on 800k bro. Really really well deserved.

Great to see you covering a really small league and you covered it really well and showed us the really good atmosphere. On the 12th of March in the Northern Irish league cup final Coleraine are playing against Linfield and I recommend you go to it. The atmosphere will be really good as it already always is every time Coleraine play against Linfield.

I’m really happy to see you making this video as I play for shamrock rovers youth

Proud to be Irish ☘️🇮🇪

Thogden, you will be glad to hear eoin doyle scored his first league goal tonight. He has given a real sense of optimism to both ourselves and the league in general St pats🤝 bolton

Great Content And great coverage for the league of Ireland well done.

Glad u enjoyed it mate🇮🇪 its class for 1 night to be in Madrid watching 2 of the best teams in the world and then 2 days later with the rovers ultras🔥

Love to see you going to Irish games if you ever go again I'd recommend the Louth derby or the munster derby

I hope u enjoyed it lots of love thogden and thogdad ❤️

Love the content theo ❤️

Fair play thogden this is what Irish football needs 👍👍🤝

Hope you enjoyed it Theo plz come back and do more vlogs 🇮🇪🇮🇪 come on

What a fantastic club and fantastic fans...keep winning you hoops

I'm Irish and from Dublin thanks so much thogden for doing this for Irish football. But am a galic person

Great vid lad

Thank you Theo for coming to Ireland 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

As an Irish person I'm very happy

Love the vids bro

Love the vlogs mate

“It’s a goal kick u mug “ thogden 🤣🤣

Respect for covering some irish football. However that wasn't even the biggest Irish derby that day. Cork City vs Cobh Ramblers in the 2nd tier >>>

Love this type of content

Amazing thank you so much for posting this... Come on the bohs

As someone from dublin thank you for going to the derby it could be massive for the loi and maybe the fai will finally invest into the league

Fair play! I flew my friend and his son over from England it was their first time too ireland and he was very impressed with the standard and the stadium. Hopefully you’ll be back again 👏🏼

I hope I can watch a match on my Ireland vacation. Thanks for filming the great atmosphere.

One word brilliant, this match is so under rated by the big TV companies,well done to you both for opening our eyes xx

Lads that was a brilliant watch 👏 Really showed the league in the right kind of light. As you have seen, the atmosphere and the support is quality. The Football is a really good level and improving with plenty of great young potential as clubs from all over Europe are finding out. Delighted you enjoyed your weekend 👍⚽️

I’m from Ireland and I’d never think I’d see thogden come to Ireland 🇮🇪

It was a great game, come on rovers💚💚 And thanks for bringing attention to the irish game it doesn't get any attention here

Respect this man so much I'm from Ireland and what you said at the end of the video I just loved that

i know this is an older video but much respect for giving the league some exposure much respect to the both of you

I can’t believe you asked for the Guinness to be perfect 🤣 I also can’t believe Thogdad necked a naggin of vodka at the match 🤣 legends! Try go to the FAI cup final in November. Last year there was 37k at it and literally 100s of pyro going off. It’s well worth the trip depending on who’s in the final.

Dublin is a great sporting city. Rugby Union, Soccer, Gaelic Football and Hurling all well supported in the Capital

Great video lads also there's another Irish derby on Monday the Munster Derby between ourselves and Cork massive game

Thogden and Thogdad, as a quarter Irish man this has made me proud, Irish Football indeed deserves a lot more recognition and respect Congratulations Shamrock Rovers!
