Not sure how we lost that game. Oh well, still plenty to play for.
there goes the treble. Derry fans will be delighted with that. I'm less happy, would have liked to see Dundalk with a more packed fixture list, though maybe this will dent their confidence
You conceded more goals than you scored by the looks of it.Quote:

Draw supposedly next Monday night. Maybe on Soccer Republic?
Cough! Oldco fans?Quote:

Will the Drogheda fans who thought that the ref was wrong with the sending offs still think the same?
No you're not.Quote:

As much as it was disappointing last night, I still wouldnt swap 3 league points for it. Derry v Harps and Pats v Rovers would be a tasty semi final draw.
You can almost feel the FAI's balls getting warm with anticipation...Quote:

All Doubles and trebles here

I think this is completely spot on re trebles (taken from above link)
Up to 1974 that treble was League, FAI Cup and Shield and since then it is League, FAI Cup and League Cup.Winners of the LOI treble
•1924/25 Shamrock Rovers
•1927/28 Bohemians
•1931/32 Shamrock Rovers
•1963/64 Shamrock Rovers
•1988/89 Derry City
So no current club have won the League, Cup and League Cup?Quote:
