Actually it also happened in 1971, when Rovers were robbed in a play off against Cork Hibs, score was 1-1 , Leech scored a legitimate goal when the Hibs keeper Joe 'redneck' O'Grady threw the ball in the air to take a kick out, and Leech flicked the ball over his head and tapped it into the empty net (very similar to what Best had done a few weeks earlier to Gordon Banks in Windsor Park).

I think you'll find that happened in a League match against Waterford, prior to the Windsor game. Leech did have a goal (maybe 2?) disallowed in the play off though.

I think the momentum is with Rovers at this stage. They've got Bohs and Cork at home while Bohs have Rovers and Cork away.

We're both kinda right....as you say it happened in a league match in Milltown, however it was against Cork Hibs late in the season, as a result of the decision going against us that game finished 0-0...thus robbing us of the league... although that year we actually blew it in our last home game...we were leading Sligo 1-0 with only a few minutes left... lost 2-1 with the legendary David Pugh scoring their winner
