Stokes was the leagues top ref.

[Réiteoir]

Dublin City was the way forward for all clubs in this League

[pineapple stu]

Sporting Fignal is the way forward for all clubs in this league.

Particularly enjoy those who say we should go down the Australian A League rote of new, broad appeal clubs with extra money at their disposal and who spend lots of extra money.

Ferglr - that's called history. You know - stuff that happened in the past.

As they say in financial ads 'Past results do not give any indication as to future performance'.

If Rovers were cup specialists, you might have actually won one at some point in the last 22 years.......

[John83]

Socrates at UCD is my favorite, seductively plausible, but utterly ridiculous when you know it's not true.

As PS mentioned, "The stand was full," is a persistent one among attendance estimates; it always makes me chuckle.

[SkStu]

As they say in financial ads 'Past results do not give any indication as to future performance'.

actually read that as "Pats results do not give any indication as to future performance" which gave me a chuckle.

BTW, when the draw is being made on 6-1 News it should be "... will play Shamrock Rovers, former cup-specialists"

[MariborKev]

The one about Scully leaving Shels.....

[monzo]

Last season and several years before it: "UCD shouldn't be in the Premier."

[Paddyfield]

Shamrock Rovers are the Manchester United of Irish football

[monutdfc]

Osam is doubtful

[Larry 'da' Wyse]

Any European opposition from the dregs of Eastern Europe are a crack outfit.

[Salmon Coloured]

Any score at any stage on Aertel. Never ever to be trusted.

[pineapple stu]

"I never got a team relegated".

(c) both Roddy and Doolin.

[SunderlandBohs]

Cork team lasting longer than 25years before going out of business.

[Weatherman]

The ref robbed us!!

[pineapple stu]

Cork team lasting longer than 25years before going out of business.

Don't think that's an urban legend either...

Moldova is a powerhouse of European football
