ZOZIMUS
Dalymount Park, the former home of Irish Football, now half condemned and ready to be demolished, plays host to the Dublin Derby between Bohemian F.C. and Shamrock Rovers. The resulting spectacle, an unlikely synthesis of embattled fans, bad weather and intense rivalry shows that the experience of watching local football can compete, and in many ways surpass the hyper commercialisation and sanitisation of football in any of the world’s major leagues today.

Duration: 19 mins Director: David Knox
