what is your most memorable moment or story supporting your team on the road
May 2001.
One man shouts "YES" and the rest look at each other before realising that Cork had taken the lead in Tolka. Old man type happy dancing erupts on a hill in Kilkenny.
I could think of a million things from that day but that stands out the most.
City 'til half five, I'm city 'til half five....
Brandywell, 2003. Derry City v Finn Harps promotion/relegation playoff. Kevin McHugh's equaliser for Harps in the 94th minute. We went ****in mental!!
Unfortunately extra-time wasn't so enjoyable:(
the FAI Ford Cup tie between sligo&waterford in showgrounds
we lost it on penos in the end
but it was a great cup tie
Supporting Sligo must be crap.Quote:

Still reckon "THAT GOAL" shouldnt have counted, the ball was rolling ;):mad:
Winning the 1st Div in 2004 in Finn Park was a special night too.
That day im sure has to be up their for the derry fans. Before we finished celebrating one goal another screamer was scored.
4-1 vs. Pats on the last day in 2001. Best Bray performance (second half) I ever saw.
Most memorable moment watching City on the road was Dalymount on the October Bank Holiday 2005 v Bohs on the run up to winning the league - incredible away support and a perfect result.
Wodzislaw 2003.

Dont know. Any truth in the rumour that you hump sheep on the Aran Islands on the weekends?Quote:

Fabio lifting the ball over Mick Devine to put us 2-0 up in the 2005 cup final. That was the moment we knew we had finally won something big.
Closely followed by Danny O'Connor scoring with a header to make it 3-0 against Galway in that game to keep us in the premier division and started our crazy journey to the other end of the table.
Of course both of them will be eclipsed in a few weeks when the ref blows the final whistle in the match where the Drogs finally win the league (says he as he continues counting the chickens).
We met a Scotsman in Norway that night who asked us how many Gretna had won by. We had great pleasure in telling him the scoreQuote:

Well because I wasnt in Motherwell:mad:my favourite away City moment is when we beat Finn Harps 2-1 a few years back, Liam Coyle scored an absolute screamer, followed by a Perry Taylor rocket into the top corner, unbelievable moment. In the cup it would be last years final
Beating Harps in the play-off final, and Big Liam scoring the winner on his last ever performance. Could never have scripted it !!!
Weird. I'm sure I was there and i can't even remember the result. Strange how one team's highpoint is the other's 'meh' - actually most of that season was 'meh'Quote:

Obviously Kilkenny on that fateful day in 2001.
The moment when Bobby Ryan's header hit the net with only a couple of minutes left in 2003.
The Rosenborg supporters staying behind en mass in the Lerkendal Stadium and singing "Stand up if you hate Rovers" after they hammered us 4-0 in the Champions League.
What memories!!
One of the best was actually a match we lost - Tolka Park August 2001 - Bohs 0-1 Aberdeen. Unfortunately I wasnt at the away leg we won 2-1 in.
I was only supporting Bohs about a year, bit more maybe. That was the most nerve-wracking ending to any football match ever for me. Clinging on, 5 minutes of stoppage time. Then one of the Aberdeen lads rifles a shot in the 95th minute which I was sure was in, until Wayne Russell gets his fingertips to it to push it over. Final whistle soon after, amazing night.
Incredible night for us . The night most of us thought 'Yeah we're gonna win this league'. Dan Murray scoring from a corner bout 10 minutes from the end. 1000 of us going mental.Quote:

Cue me going absolutely mental as our players get pelted with lighters and stoned.
Bout 10 minutes later an absolutely shattered Denis Behan(couldnt handle the heat at all) is being subbed, pretends he doesnt have a clue whats going on and walks the other way, getting incredible abuse from the Apollon fans, all sorts thrown at him and he looks surprised then turns to see the board and with a bemused look claps their fans before talking his time strolling off(though Im not sure if he could have moved any faster if he'd wanted to).
It was never a goal, the ref thought it would be fitting to let it stand when he saw it was Coyle (cnut) that scored :pQuote:

Billy Clery's last minute winner against St Pat's in the last game of the 2000 season which kept Galway United up and effectively relegated Waterford.
I was outside the Empire State Building in New York when I got a text message from Tir Oileann which read:
"1 - 0 billy 90 mins staying up "
Happy days.
In turners cross when we won the league , I was VERY VERY young that day but remember running up to the legend that is Tom McNulty and getting his autograph , I'm sure Cork city fans like been reminded on this :)
Was an incredible day and one that will live with me forever.
The FAI cup final has to come close as well , Edit 2002
Sad day when we were relegated for the first time and the next season we played out first match on sunday afternoon in front of about 120 people :(
Sean Hagan's goal in gothenburg. The 5 second delay from after the goal was scored to when the Derry fans started celebrating. The ground went silent. Amazing
Yeah, that was a good one too. Confirmed our spot in Europe.Quote:

Nobody laughed the following September when we drew 0-0 with Everton in the firstround first leg of the European Cup-winners Cup, in Tolka :D
Derry City- officially the slowest fans in Europe.Quote:

All great days but the one I think you are forgetting is a certain FAI Cup Semi-Final against the filth on a Good Friday.I think almost 10,000 packed into Dalymount.Quote:

Will always remember him sliding on his knees towards the Jodi and me nearly getting killed in the push forward!
What a night!!!

I'm amazed that it's possible for anyone to have a happy memory of the Blob.
Martin McDonnell's late equaliser in Tolka Park in the 1985 FAI Cup semi-final v Limerick. One of my first big away games, up on the trian with the uncle. Hassle with small section of Limerick fans before the game, they go into 2 goal lead, Johnny Glynn pulls one back. Game nears the end, start moving towards exit so we'll be in time for the train back. Someone shouts 'hold on' or something like that, we all stop, crane our necks (or look thorugh people's legs, as I did) and bang. Goal. Magic.
The replay in St Mel's was great, cracking atmosphere, but because of the hassle at the two games, mammy wouldn't let me to the final, boo hoo. While we won the cup in 91, and there was Billy's late winner against Pats, that is my memorable moment.
Good thread

He was only on the field about 5 minutes and it was the only decent thing I ever remember him doing in a Bohs shirt as I am too young to remember him in his first spell at the club.Quote:

Sorry, I wasn't having a go, I've no idea how he played for Bohs. It's just all I can remember from his City days was him struggling to fit into the shirt.Quote:
