The aul fella Cass in Fairly Sh!tty mentioned 'doing' his cruciate ligament playing for Finn Harps in a friendly.
It only aired there about two weeks ago.
Anything to get away from Donegal, jaysus!Quote:

Spike giving Shams abuse from about 4.20 in.
That 1989 jersey is a thing of beauty!
As well as Derry featuring on the Undertones' My Perfect Cousin cover, the words 'Derry City FC' can also be seen - if you look very closely - written vertically on the right-hand-side of the band's Get Over You cover.

I'm not sure what exactly that little red and green-outlined graphic is (has anyone any insight?) or why the name of the club is remotely relevant to the rest of the cover art, but there you go...

So, what's the significance of the fire engine?
There's also a game of Subbuteo played between Derry and Harps, along with other related footballing antics, in the My Perfect Cousin video:

Fair City is always good for a LOI mention. Fella that plays Paul in it has mentioned Bohs a few times. He is actually a Bohs fan too, met him in Dalymount. And as above, Cass mentioned Finn Harps a few weeks back. A few years back they had a sports shop in the show with LOI jerseys in the background.
There was a flag with 'Sligo Rovers Forever More' written across it on a beano (I think) comic strip shortly after we won the treble in '94.
Did the Unmentionables never feature in Glenroe back in the day?
One of the producers is a Pats fan and so is the lad who plays Barry (his brother worked with pats for years). Producer always had pats jerseys in the sports shopQuote:

I seem to remember in Glenroe, every time somebody tried to go to Bray, they died horribly.Quote:

Oddly enough, Dalymount is even worse now than it was then.

Saw Docors tribute to Chick Deacy
Wonder is that available on-line somewhere. Very well made drama.Quote:

On the new episode of Moone Boy on Sky1 tonight, fairly sure I saw a clip of a few Shamrock Rovers lads doing the dieing fly in celebration at Italia '90.
Went to see "The Food Guide To Love" at JDIFF tonight, romcom filmed in Dublin. Includes a scene where Richard Coyle and his dad watch a Shams/Bray game on the telly.
I believe they were Celtic jerseys. Crsmith shirts.Quote:

During commentary of Chelsea v Schalke tonight, Finn Harps were mentioned apparently three times during the course of the game. Mentioned the 12-1 defeat to Derby County in Europe in the 70's, to which Niall Quinn mentioned something about 'my friends up in Donegal'.
