In the first hal;f, all my Father did was rip the p1ss out of him, and gradually everyone joined in.Eventually about 80/90 people behind him were just resorting to barracking him, most of these were young kids and old people, you would have had to have been there.
Good to see the city-rovers ribbing/hatred/****taking back to normal on this thread. All those love ins this year were too much to take.
It was Simon Webb who did that.Quote:

Don O'Riordon was in charge at the time so we were obviously losing,1-0 at the time.
Ref was giving some bad dicisions so one Rovers fan,Diner Coyle,Jumped the wall,onto the pitch and ran towards the ref.
All Galway and Sligo fans will agree.
An attempted flyin' header by Jose 'giz a wave' Mokendi for Derry City in one of his first games in 1985/86 (vs EMFA in Dec ?).
To say he mis-timed his flight and the ball's trajectory would be an understatement. He'd dived, hit his face flat on the ground, got back up again and dusted himself off, before the ball was anywhere near the right position for him. Cue 10,000 Derry fans absolutely wetting themselves with laughter. Had to be seen to be appreciated.....
The man was a rubbish footballer, but a lovely character, so the fan's loved him ! His son Mark is a quality player by all accounts though. He's on our reserve books and we've just loaned him out to Harps for a year.
"Jose - give us a wave...!"
Two moments come to mind at this point,first is in what may have been Pete Mahon's last game in charge of Bohs, he was under huge pressure, we were probably losing, a ball went out of play near the dugout and he ran to kick it back but slipped and fell spectacularly on his arss.
The other is Bohs v Skerries in the FAI Cup, Bohs had a throw and some auld lad from Skerries ran to the hoardings and threw his program at Webb and started going beserk at him. Webb's response was pure class, he calmly picked up the program, immitated signing an autograph on it, and handed it back to the guy! Pure class!
What did you have to eat that day? :D :p :DQuote:

There was relative silence in the crowd when some smart @rse shouts out 'a FFS will someone give the little fella a sup', que much hysterics on the terrace even the players heard it and were roaring with laughter.

Paul Duddy in full flight is funny aswell....First Division fans will know what im on about.
City fans buy out every shops allocation of blow-up sheep before we hold our noses and take the trip to bogland. harps fans concoct some rubbish about how every person in Derry owns a greyhound.
Play-off final and Kevin Mc Hugh scores to level it, runs to the bogmen to celebrate and does an impression of a greyhound on the track.
Must have been hilarious for the sheep but we got the last laugh when we won and celebrated in front of them. To cap it all Mc Hugh signed for the succesful north-west club on a FREE few weeks ago.:)
McHugh signed for us?:eek: When?:confused:.Quote:

1984/85 season against, (jaysus cant remember), Tiao Brazil hit the far corner flag from a free kick
Johnny Matthews ran onto the pitch with the Superman outfit after we beat Sligo in Kilcohan in 1990 to get promoted. The opening day of the 1990/91 season when hundreds of fans staged a demonstration to demand that Johnny be reinstated which held the game up briefly.
The unofficial opening of the stand in the RSC against CHF in a blizzard in January 1996 when 150 of us stormed at the fencing that surrounded the stand much to the consternation of Milo Corcoran.
But the time under Jimmy McGeough and the almighty tussles against the
C/\wkies in 2003/04 go down as legend. Dan Connor sitting on the ball in the RSC as we beat the F@t P@ck 3-0, Connor doing again that previous summer when he squirted his water bottle into the Shed only afterwards to see about 100 angst ridden pubescents getting chased away outside the ground by some elderly stewards.... to Pat Purcell's winning goal at the X in April 2004 right in front of the Shed. I have that picture somewhere....... priceless.
He said "successful" - not dreadful. One minor trophy in 11 years does not equal success.... :DQuote:

I think it is rose tinted glasses there my friend, the gardai were there an hour an a half after the game, It was Jimmy McGeough coming out into the middle of the crowd pleading with them that sorted that. Connors was no where to be seen either. I have photos of all of that.Quote:

funniest ever for me happened in the last winter season. gareth gorman got nailed in the balls&went off for treatment right in front of me&my mates on da old stand side. he was off for bout 5mins&da look on his face was priceless. eventually he went back on&within a minute he got another smack in the balls&hit da deck like a sack of potatoes, i was in agony laughing by this stage. any1 who ever supported a team containing gorman will appreciate this story far more
The day after Beckham scored against Wimbledon from the half way line, Andy Myler did the same against Finn Harps. Anything you can do, I can do better!
Remember them both! Classics.... Robbies actually caught on camera to!Quote:

You clearly didn't do honours Geogo in the leaving did you boy?:D
A good few years back when we were playing Harps their supporters were in the Railway end. When a train passed they all turned around and started waving at it. Then the Shed started singing "what's it like to see a train"
about 2 years ago when we were going no where and in front of me this kid stood up to give the ball back to someone...but he didnt realize the seat went back up and he hurt himself badly....was laughing for about 10mins
or when gorman was playing bad[dont know why i said that,everyone should assume] and seanie should "G,wtf was that" and everyone started laughing at him
there are more,cant beat the showgies
oh when we were beating galway 4-1 and lally did something stupid and all the shed heads starting running down towards him
and when it was near full time we all started taking the pi$$ of the invisible galway fans:cool:
i forgot
darren jack
what a guy
A few definitely come to mind,
Seeing Richie Baker give Robbie "Mad Dog" Brunton a bit of stick a few seasons back in Dalymount. Brunton ran from left backn to left wing on a wet pitch, slid about 10 yards from Baker and creamed him into the advertising boards in front of the Jodi stand, classic!
Another one which comes to mind is seeing Trevor Molloy kicking a corner flag when taking a corner for Pats vs Bohs. From that same game, Ricky O Flaherty (st pats overweight striker) attempting a bicycle kick and landing on poor oul Maurice O Driscoil!Blocker was in bits for days!
Shaun Maher pulling out a Cryuff turn on Youri Djorkaeff against Kaisurslatuen has to be up there, and all the Bohs fans chanting, you can stick your world cup medals up your a*se, Maher made him look like a fool!
My favourite however is Paul Byrne being slagged off with you fat b*stard after he left Bohs as he walked along the bottom of the jodi only to return a few minutes later eating a hotdog and chips! classic!
In "de jacks" a few years ago three Kildare County players bashed into each other at the half way line knocking out tow of them!
Dangers run onto the field and calling a certain black player a few names :rolleyes:
Fran Hitchcock going in goals and saving a peno against de drogs from barry o'connor thus cealing his move to shamrock rovers (o'connor that is)
before longford became a club they visited with the usual team bus from Dublin, some clubs still do this :cool: Center half gets injured and the left full is asked by his manager to go onto the middle, "but no, he roars in a broad dub accent, i wont know what to do!" And of course how the limerick faithfull can wind up certain players no end and get them sent off that usually makes me cry with laughter. :)
AT the Showgrounds singing to fatboy Davey and the stewards....
"were only hear to annoy you....here to annoy you"
It had the Guards and the rest of us laughing...Brillaint!
Also this year in Athlone when they scored they finally broke into song....
to the tune of the great escape!:D There faces when we started slagging them!
A couple of years ago we were watching the boys do there warm up and tony Folan twice got smashed in the balls.....it was especially funny caus the second time he was still on the sideline recovering from the 1st time!:p
It was Eric Lavine that got hit with the ball that night.Quote:

Wasnt funny at the time but I think it is now, Stephen Paisley scoring in the Setanta Cup last season and then sent off for his shirtless celebrations.
Mad Tom handing out his Christmas cards, telling people to give them to their mammys :p

Aaron also threw water over Robbie Doyle I think it was, as they were going into the dressing rooms in Flancare one night, what a messerQuote:
