Fastest LOI Goal?

[TheBoss]

Barry Ryan's was for Limerick, not kilkenny - goal was the first (obviously) in a 2-0 win at Buckley park. I cannot tell you the date - is there anywhere that has a complete list of all games and dates for LOI history?

02/02/1992 - Kilkenny City 0-2 Limerick City

Probably from an newspaper archive some time ago but can't be sure.

Sure I saw Athlone scoring against Dundalk after 10-15 seconds in the 1980s. Alan O'Neill in goal.

Another side-record which may be worth recording - here's Galway v UCD from 2007. Galway got a penalty after 7 seconds, but after 78 seconds, the score was 1-1.

Bray scored after 8 seconds this evening.

I checked LOI TV there with a stopwatch it was 10 seconds

Isnt it formally the 4th officials time? Just out of interest as was said before, not saying that it is, or that they would get things right.

From the Irish Examiner's match report btw -

"A little piece of soccer history was made at Buckley Park, Kilkenny, yesterday when First Division leaders Limerick scored a goal in record time. The player to write himself into the record books was Limerick's Barry Ryan, who availed of a Kilkenny error after only seven seconds to chip home goalkeeper Gary Matthews from 20 yards"

Looks like he still has the record today in that case.
