Have Waterford the worst record ever in the league??

Nope.

About ten years ago, Drogheda went 23 games without a win before beating Dundalk. They only won one other game that season - against Dundalk.

Several teams have finished the league with three points - YMCA (1921/22), Jacobs (1929/30), Bray Unknowns (1941/42 and 1942/43) and St James' Gate (1943/44). In addition, Bohs (1959/60) were without a win, though with five draws, and Pioneers (1925/26) and Bray Unknowns (1935/35) picked up just two points, though that was a win, worth three now.

Kilkenny went, I think, 30 games without a win in 2000/01 in finishing the season on 9 points with just one win. The worst final points tally - though from fewer games and with two points for a win - belongs to UCD :o, with eight points the season after we lost 1-0 to Everton on aggregate in Europe...

In the First Division, Kilkenny lost their first 25 games of the 1994/95 season before ending with two draws for a final tally of...two points. So things could most definitely be worse!

Thank you Stu you're a mine of info
Any idea of how long a manager went without a win - 16 games must be nearly a record!!

I'm sure Bohs managed to cement the worst ever season record at some stage. We should give them a trophy for that, as well as one for holding the record for most bottom of the table finishes. God knows, there's bugger all else in the trophy cabinet.

How do we have the record for the worst points tally on 8 if the other clubs mentioned above finished on 3?:confused:

YMCA :confused:
They were a young team, I believe. They felt rather down about the whole thing, so they decided there was a place they could go - presumably the LSL.

We'd be better off in the first division.This is embarassing now,17 games in and just 3 points.:(

I'm not slagging or anything, but, they are the worst side that i've probably ever seen my 20 odd year of watching eL football. I can't see them wining a match all season.

actually quite enjoyed that season. after the first few matches we knew what lay in store. there wasn't too many trashings dished out, we just couldn't get that first win. the crowds didn't crumble too much either, it was as if everyone had suffered so much, it would have been unbearable to miss the game when we finally did win.

and what a game to finally get the win, john 'magic' reid did feck all in a drogs jersey, but the winner that night was as sweet a goal in united park :D :D

Of course Cork and Derry are only johnny-come-lately clubs and, as has been said, Bohs have the record for most re-elections and bottom-place finishes so the AHEM is more than well-earned.:)

I also think a :rolleyes: is justified. :D

On another note, we must be top for being relagated and promoted

Two divisions only in place since 85, when Derry joined. Cork came in a year earlier and stayed up. So if Bohs and Pats taking credit for not being relgated so should the 2 cities!

you can't count 'new' teams to the league, ie - Kildare, CHF, Cork & Derry!!

We've been members of the league of Ireland for 90 odd years.
