Galway 1 - 0 Bray

[jeff24]

waterford 1-1 limerick

[stann]

Not only that, but there's strong rumours put about on the radio that it's:

Wexford Youths 3-0 Limerick 37 and, a real shock,
Waterford United 3-0 Athlone Town! (ineligible player played - very much tbc this one!)

Goalscorers at Jackman are Dave Ryan (14) and Gary Dunphy (15 pen) btw.

[SkStu]

The Bohs security Gestapo strike a blow for free speech by illegally removing Pat the Rat banners from young City fans for being "offensive". Video will be on Youtube later.

Wouldn't want to spoil the bankruptcy party...

yak yak :D sure we cant even hang a tricolour in your dump! :mad::p

[dancinpants]

Derry fans singing, "Champions and you still won't sing" :D

[Boo_Boy]

2 - 0 rovers(doherty),ball into the box and the keeper caught it behind the line.

[Longfordian]

Waterford United 3-0 Athlone Town! (ineligible player played - very much tbc this one!)


Isn't that normally a three point decution for the offending team rather than awarding the game to the opposition? Or has that changed?.

[stann]

Limerick 2-1 ahead, deservedly on play so far.
Awful goalkeeping error though, Danaher (38).

I would have thought so, maybe the rules have changed, the two lads commentating seemed fairly sure of it, but we'll see. I wonder alright if somebody didn't mix it up with the Wexford story to get two 3-0 scorelines when there should be only one.

Waterford United 3-0 Athlone Town! (ineligible player played - very much tbc this one!)

I dont know where the press got that one unless they know something I don't

If a team fields an unregistered player it is a fine and points deduction. The points are never awarded to the opposing team as far as i know

[Lilywhite Army]

yes it is a point deduction..this happened in the 2006 season with Shamrock rovers played an inelgible player for the game against Dundalk..If my memory is corect it was 3 points they got deducted

[stann]

It was a story flying around the ground in Limerick before the match started by all accounts, I couldn't get down in the end and just heard it on the radio earlier. Hopefully there'll be more about it before the end.
I agree, it was always a deduction, not an awarding of points, but who knows. It was ineligible, not unregistered, maybe that makes a difference in some new rule.
In all likelihood though the story was probably passed about along with the Wexford one (who did get awarded the points it seems), and probably the tales got a bit blended. It doesn't really make a lot of sense otherwise.

EIT: Both the WLR reporter and Dave Warren have just this second said that they've heard we're getting the extra two points from the Athlone match. This really needs clarification! :D

Half time 2-1 BTW.

[Lilywhite Army]

wont happen..would be huge uproar if yous were to go up by them 2 points..Maxi would be on the war path again

[oldyouth]

Well I heard info on the Youths v L37 thing but I'm saying nothing until it is confirmed. The Waterford thing could have a significant bearing on the outcome of the promotion race. Not like the FAI to make a firm decision!!!!

[stann]

:D

They should keep the Christmas tree in the attic for a while yet just in case!

[oldyouth]

Would the increase in the price of petrol affect that:D

[stann]

Shels have just taken the lead against the Yoofs.

Grincell on for Gary Dunphy (??!!) at half time at Jackman. edit: Yep, tactical switch apparently.

[Longfordian]

If anyone except me is interested (unlikely) it's 0-2 in Kildare. Darren McKenna with both.

Yep Mr Longfordian, I'm well interested in that one

[The Lilywhites]

The precedent would give Athlone a 3 point deduction but Waterford would gain nothing.

[Duffman]

A certain Paul Shiels it was :eek:

[Lilywhite Army]

exactly..altough knowing the fai we could have a different outcome..sure If we beat yous next week we shouldnt have anything to worry about

[stann]

The precedent would give Athlone a 3 point deduction but Waterford would gain nothing.

That's the rule as far as I know it as well, unless it has been changed recently.
Again I will say I think this story got blended with the Wexford-Limerick one as they were being circulated with the upshot that both of us 'got awarded' points.

[The Lilywhites]

The FAI confirmed the 3-0 win for Wexford this evening. Nothing about Waterford/Athlone as yet.

[jeff24]

3-1 limerick paul walsh pen

[stann]

There you go then, we got magically awarded them as well amid the Chinese whispers.

Paul Walsh just put Limerick 3-1 up from the spot. :mad:

From what I recall the rule states that the "points MAY be awarded to the opposition."

[stann]

I see.
We're after passing them on to Limerick anyway.
4-1 now, Limerick rampant, game is over. :mad:

[The Lilywhites]

5-1 now. Great stuff :D

[Boo_Boy]

Did the commentator just say Paul McTiernan is one of the young guys to get his chance?:confused:

[OneRedArmy]

City 1 Notorious Bookclub Boys 0
Farren

[Longfordian]

5-1 now. Great stuff :D

Both teams visited Flancare recently and Limerick genuinely impressed me a good deal more even though Waterford beat us 3-0 and Limerick 2-1. Limerick are playing really good football at the moment.

Dundalk know all too well. Beaten us 2-0 twice in last two meetings. We also lost 4-1 in Limerick last year so we know Waterford's pain :o

Derry qualify for Europe with a 1-0 win against the big boys club.

Its odds on he blames the surface/conditions :)

[The Lilywhites]

They seemed pretty sure they're going to be awarded the two extra points from the Athlone game. The players were told before the game and the radio guys kept saying 'we're up to 60 points now'!

[Terry]

GUFC 4-0 Bray

Just 2 points behind harps now with the game in hand !

I would just like to also thank bray for giving us Jay O'Shea !

[HarpoJoyce]

That's a terrific win. ( keeps Bray in the Zone going into the last 3 weeks of the season.)

I knew Jay o'Shea was on International duty for the postponed game win St. Pat's, as the Pat's game was called off did Bray have to clear the player since?

on behalf of all Bohs fans everywhere, regardless of race, colour or creed, i would like to categorically state how utterly proud we feel as a club and as human beings to have such a record against Derry City FC. You are a class team, a real cut above the rest and we are just thankful to have taken two points from you.

Such a record against the mighty candystripes is something that we can only hope, god willing, to improve on in the future. Please god next year we can forget about such matters as winning leagues and match Derrys achievement of finishing as also rans and winning the League Cup. Who knows maybe we can even get a nice big drum to bang, or is that just hoping for too much, too soon?

All hail Derry, easily the best team this year.

Aw thanks, you really didnt have to say that......

Makes no sense.

U23 game is not until next Tuesday so why wouldn't O'Shea be available to Galway tonight

Right on cue :D

[SkStu]

oh thats no excuse... thats a tribute. :)

[Sinéad K]

That's some rod you have

[SkStu]

why, thank you very much... :D

[sonofstan]

Aw thanks, you really didnt have to say that......

No really; I had to leave early, but it's all they were talking about in the bars in Dalyer tonight, honest. The league trophy was quietly put away like the embarrassing gee-gaw that it is and a 'buy a big drum (like Derry)' committee was formed from the ashes of the NBB....

[Sinéad K]

Nice to see a bit of humour but should you not be out on the beer SkStu
