Think that Mellon goal you're talking about was V Shels at Tolka. An absolute screamer and the match finished 3-all or something like that.
What about Johnny Glynn's winner V Cwmbran Town in the last ten minutes to steal the tie and send us through to the next round.
Kieran Nagle's first time volley from the edge of the area in front of the shed in the early 90s was also unreal.
For the older among us, could you beat the athmosphere the day Ian Hennesey scored in the quarter final of the cup against Derry (Owen De Gama et al) in 1986 (?) to send City through on a one-nil win.

Speaking of Cup Quarter Finals of hte FAI Cup what about Cormac Cotters clincher Vs Limerick in a 2-0 win at the Cross on the way to the final in 92, He ran clean through with the whole ground willing him to score and then rolled the ball into the corner. He then came over to the Shed to celebrate with his ould pal Moses.

Thats possible my earliest memory of a city goal...! In those days getting 2 goals at the cross was a luxury as we seemed to be masters of the 1-0. Nagles goal from the stand site of the penalty area stood out from the usual dour goals in Noel O'Mahonys days.
Masters of the 1-0....from what i can remember we were in the relegation dogfight every year!!! we were ****

1990 after leading league all season lost league to McNulty :( goal in last game of the season in front of fullhouse!
Can't remember why I started going to the cross but that was the first season although may have been due to Cup final appearances in previous year...............

Yeah Dundalk stole league from city in 1990-91 season. I might have seen a few games in previous season but can't remeber. Earliest memory of a city game was in the cup (v Derry???) at Flower Lodge a couple years beforehand when Derry had a massive away following.

Yeah. 87/88 I'd say. Derry with the Yugaslovian Alex Kristic up front and a couple of other foreigners aswell (which was very unusual in those days). They brought thousands down that day. Very impressive.

Does anyone know who we played on that cup run? I know it was Derry in the quarter (1-0), and then Shams beat us over two legs in the semis (4-1, 4-2 I think!). My (usually disfunctional) memory tells me we might have played Limerick and Park(or Bank) Rovers in earlier rounds. :confused:
Nicely hijacked thread this.
Jeez lads all showing your ages remembering the 80's ;)
Did Vasco de Gama play for Derry or am I mixing him up with an explorer??? :confused:
I'm sure the Derry City away fans in those days brought the same fascination to the home fans as Eanna, the flare & the jester hat did for those kids in Monaghan
:D

Dont' worry Dalo, I remember it, a stunner that flew over Jody Byrne into the top corner at the St. Annes end. I am still convinced to this day that it was that result that turned Dick O Hanlon against us forever!!
Mulligans against Celtic, just for the shock effect! :D
