Is he the only player to win 3 FAI Cups in a row?


Rovers side winning the FAI Cup at your ground 85-87.

Commiserations to Drogheda but you did the league proud. First Irish side to beat a Finnish side but must be doubly sick after hearing who you could have got in the next round. Just a shame that O'Brien wasnt registered:eek: and Shelley was suspended. Could have made a difference.

Looked great on the box. Full main stand and loads of Drogheda flags behind the goal.

To miss one penalty in a shoot-out is bad luck, to miss 2 is pure carelessness.

That's payback for the goals/winners he scored against us. You can guess that they weren't penalties.

Nah, just typical careless defending.

we lose out too!

At least Gartland's had a very good career thus far in Ireland.

Is he the only player to win 3 FAI Cups in a row?

Add a league cup & a setanta cup to that and it's not a bad haul for 5 yrs work!

No, former Irish Independent Sports Editor Pat Courtney has 6 in a row and I imagine there's a few with three in a row at least.

I would imagine that he's the only one to win 3 consecutive titles with 2 different clubs.

Well in today's Star it says: "Gartland admitted that he and Drogheda were unaware that they could have nominated a different taker for the first spot kick of the second series after the first series ended level at 10-10."

OH **** :eek:


That's unreal! Does anyone, who was paying real close attention at the game know if the 1st Start player took the 11th spot kick?

Thats the rule isnt it???

They have to keep the same order they couldn't have changed it.
