Oh how long have you been a City fan then?
By that logic, Derry would have won about 18 penalties this season, as they've played the 11 league teams (bar Drogheda), two teams in the Setanta, three teams in the UEFA and probably one or two more in the FAI Cup and the League Cup. I challenge you to show me those 18 penalties.
When was the last time UCD played at the Brandywell and DIDN'T have a penalty awarded against them?Quote:

What 18 penalties? I was referring to UCD. In the 21 years we have been travelling to the Brandywell to play games we have had penalties awarded against us in more games than we have not had them awarded.Quote:

That's your quote. It doesn't refer to UCD; it refers to games there in general, so you're now changing your stance in saying that you were talking about UCD only.Quote:

0-3 - no penalty
2003 -
2-0 - no penalty
0-1 - no penalty
2002/03 -
0-1 - no penalty
Which goes back four seasons with penalties only in one year. So your post is inaccurate.
Noooooooobody Cares!

I stopped going to games in the Brandywell after 1996/97 season cause I got ****ed off !
a) Seeing UCD get hockeyed
b) seeing UCD have dodgy penalties awarded against them.
It's a pro-Derry conspiracy!Quote:
