Is 8-0 a league record? I've tried to find a bigger scoreline but cant. Is this a league record?
I don't know if anyone's beaten it, but I think Limerick beat UCD 8-0 in the early 80s.
EDIT: Actually, it was 7-0.
Galway have won 8-0 v Monaghan, and lost 9-1 to Derry. http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=113933
fair enough, I tried looking on rsssf but got lost.
Was just going to post that about Galway and Monaghan, it was one that sprang to mind from recent years.
Sligo have a couple of 9-0s (win and a loss) http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=113936
So do Shels:

And Dundalk

Jesus:
Shamrock Rovers 11-0 Bray Unknowns FC - 28/10/1928 http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=113935
I dont think its a record, maybe you are thinking for an away win but I still dont think so, other clubs will have their records, we came close to this beating Sligo 8-1 away in the Premier Div in 1987.
But I'm sure 8-0 away has been beaten
and apparenlty the record for home grounds aswell.Quote:

Ramblers beat Kilkenny 7-0 in 2007 in Kilkenny and there was talk that it was a record away win so if it's anything it's a record AWAY WIN and a few seasons before that demolished Monaghan 8-1 and so i'd say it's not a record as such as it's a very common score that pops up at least once a year.
I think we beat Shels 9-0 in the early 80sQuote:

It's not even the biggest away win, Shels won 9-0 at Pioneers in 1922 and Cork United won 9-0 at Brideville in 1944. A good number of clubs have won 8-0 away.
Dundalk won 8-1 at Sligo in the late 80s.
Reiteoir's list above is the definitive list of double digit results in the league.
Derry City beat Galway United 9-1 in the Brandywell circa 1989. It was the sixth game of the season and the Galway United goal was the first goal that Derry had conceeded that season. Paul McGee was player/manager for Galway United but was sacked after Derry won 6 - 0 in Terryland a few months later.
Reiteoir, where did you get this? Is there any "fastest ever league goal" info in the same place?Quote:
