The season after we were promoted we were top of the league for a few round and I took a screen cap, which is still probably about. Didnt matter that there were only a few games played or maybe top in flipping alphabetical, the way things were it might not have been seen again, if only we knew what was around the corner :)Quote:

Lol Page 220 was football all right but can you remember the league table page?
222 was LoI results - and 230 was the table? 23-something anyway
Yup, 222 was the important page. Phonecall home on Thursday night if playing in Oriel and the routine was to have P222 on and read the results over the phone to me as I cursed waiting for pages to cycle through as I was getting through all my 10p pieces waiting (or curse my family for not being ready with Aertel when I rang home as per routine lol). I kept my own league table and checked in The Guardian as some weekends they the published LoI tables in microscopic font. Then Orielweb among others came online along with Aertel. Pals would laugh at the efforts to get results and tables so always got a slagging about this mickey mouse club and league but I think I mentioned recently that those same people are now watching Dundalk FC on BT Sports playing the likes of Arsenal ha!
Ah aertel, a life saver. Going even further back I have heard stories that Sligo Rovers fans would wait at the Showgrounds for the team to travel back from away games, so they could be told the score.Quote:

The people who operate it must jobs for life, good to know that peoples TV licence money is been put to good use.Quote:

Peanuts.Quote:

There are a few useful little pages of information that is hard to find elsewhere.Quote:

He has a bit of a laugh every time a Harps player drys the ball with a towel for one of our long throw insQuote:

Just really poor as a keeper to be outdone by such a harmless looking cross. Did the floodlights get in his eyes or something? Also, no sound on the Dundalk match on watchloi
Dundalk’s defence is like a Soap Opera. Drama every week.
Rovers lead in Tolka, so a win now vital for both sides in the Harps v Waterford match. And Rovers close to an unbeaten league season - when was that last done?
And Harps do take the lead.
Relief for Dundalk; Shels in the play-off now
Bohs have a goal disallowed for handball even though Evan Ferguson clearly scored with his foot. Ref didn't even consult with his linesman despite Bohs players protests. Even the commentator said he clearly kicked it in.
Another farcical referring decision in the LOI
Like the Stone Age in the League when it comes to referring
Very poor goalkeeping. He's not doing himself any favours these days.Quote:

Bohs now lead 2-1. Andre Wright penalty. The slow bicycle race for 3rd and 4th takes another turn

Sligo's goal
Missed that it means they're now in the European spots if one of the top 3 wins the cup. An equaliser for Waterford will change that
1-1 at moment in Cork, pathetic they can’t get themselves up for this
I'm both somehow stunned and unsurprised that we've managed to not score a second here. It's so ridiculous it's almost impressive.
That was like a defender on the goal line who can't get high enough to head it out. Does he train outfield and he forgot he could use his hands?
I only twigged that myself when looking at the table. Be an excellent return for Bucko considering where they were at the start of the season.Quote:

Delighted for Bucko to get into Europe (or potentially anyway) rather than Waterford and for Shels to possibly go down rather than Harps.
Even more delighted out season is over and I can get back to the best time to follow us: pre-season when I convince myself things will be better.
Shels depending on Waterford with a few minutes left.
Shels in playoff v Longford confirmed.
