They have a fine ground/clubhouse RonnieB - I remember a bloke with a beard/glasses used to run them but can't remember his name. Nice guy.Quote:

Bray wanderers 1-2 Bohemians May 2005
1-0 bray at half time and its all going smoothly. bohs equalise and the pitch gets invaded. 92nd minute and eamo misses a one on one. 93rd minute and harkin scores a winner for bohs. pitch is invaded by scumbags and the final whistle blows
The 1-0 loss up at inchicore,98/99 season,1 decision cost us the league,it was a clear handball on the line,still havent forgiven that ref!!
The cup semi-final defeat against derry was hard to take aswell,i practically had my train ticket booked to go up for the final!!all i remember is the ball being stuck in the corner for the entire last 20 mins,it was 1 of the most frustrating games of football ive ever been at
my worst moment as a supporter was when we got hammered 6-1 by shamrock rovers at flancare in lawlors time in charge. if i rem correctly earlier that week we also got a hammering in the league cup from them as well! touigh days they were!
Ah yes January 2002 6-1 on the Wednesday in the League cup 1/4 Final at Tolka Park (Cousins (3(1 Pen)), Hunt, Robinson, Palmer) and 5-1 on the Saturday in the League at Flancare Park (T. Grant (2), Woods, Cousins, Byrne (OG)). That was some week at the time we were looking at a possible treble :eek:Quote:

Those were tough old times to be a Town supporter alright but the Carmarthen Result still cuts very deep.At least here at home we have a chance to put poor league results right but the fact is we may never qualify for Europe again so we may never get a chance to put it right although i hope i'm wrong.Quote:

It has to be 1990 game at home to Dundalk, Liam Duggan gave the ball away and McNulty scored, could barely breathe in the Shed there was such a huge crowd.
A more memorable defeat for me was the first time i went to the Brandywell, it was 92/93, we went up twice and lost 3-2 with the last kick of the game to a Fergie og. Was pretty intimidated by the whole place and was just glad to get out of there and on the road home.
We had left Cork at 6am on the Sunday morning and got home for 4am on the Monday and I still made work. As I don[t get to travel as much now those were Happy Days.
The worst one was Levadia Tallinn at home last season :mad:
"Best" one has to be Rosenborg in the Lerkendal a couple of years back. 3 of the 4 goals RBK scored that night were of the highest quality - especially the one from outside the box that flew like an Exocet into the top corner of Shay Kelly's net.
The 1-0 in Inchicore was heartbreaking, the amount of points we'd amassed would have won us the league in any season before or since, whatever Dodge says, I think we were robbed ;) . The handball on the line robbed us of a goal, but Hanlon missing Clarke's 'professional foul' and the penalty (and red card) it was, followed by sending Kelvin off was a kick in the teeth.
Losing 1-0 in Lausanne in the UEFA Cup to a offside goal five minutes from time hit me pretty hard for a while, I'm not a fan of moral victories so I took liitle consolation from a great performance.
Both of these stick out in my mind, big time...... F-uck you Feighery and Buttimer you's w-ankers....Quote:

Derek McGrath missed it, then Kilkenny scored down the other end. As if to rub our noses in it, Kilkenny won ONE game the next year. We had a horrible team, an idiot of a manager in Mike Sheephead Flanagan and played terrible football. We ended up with all bt a couple of players leaving and had to put up with 3 years of Athlone and Cobh.Quote:

The playoff final 2 or 3 years ago is the worst defeat as a Galway fan for me,maybe the older lads have one worse.We were 2-0 up from the 1st leg and lost 3-2 after AET in Drogheda and had 2 goals dissalowed after dodgy refereeing from who else but Alan Kelly. :rolleyes:
