TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
who and where were evergreen from?
Another Cork side, I think. There's also Evergreen in Kilkenny, who were in the U-21s or the reserve league a few years back.
Evergreen changed their name to become Cork Celtic.
I doubt they ever represented the place in the LoI but does anyone know anything about a team called Limerick Commercial FC? I was in castleconnell at the weekend and I saw a photo of a 1911 side on the wall. They'd won a cup competition that year seemingly. They appeared to be wearing broad hooped shirts (colour unknown) with a large white star in the center (Star rovers ancestor maybe?)
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Weren't Limerick Commercials a GAA team? I think they won the first All Ireland football title in 1887 beating a Louth team in the final, when counties were represented by their club champions.
...it's possible. It had crossed my mind they might be a rugby team either but then I remembered the ball in the line up was definitely round. There appears to be 18 players in the photo and numerous officials.
terrible photo here... http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ageID=37221236

Sure Limerick Commercials were a GAA team. In early days were not GAA games 18 a side ?
I don't think they were a football team. As has been stated above there was aLimerick Commercials GAA team that won the first GAA All ireland. I don't know anything else about them.
Prior to 1937 the only senior football in Limerick (that I know of) was back in the 1890s when the Black Watch competed in the Irish Cup. They got to the 1892 final losing 7-0 to Linfield. They were a Scottish Army team stationed in Limerick.
Limerick Commercials did indeed win the 1887 All Ireland Championship....

It says so in Wikipedia so it has to be true!
Re: Dublin City Exit
This may be slightly off thread but you lot seem the guys that would know the answer. When Dublin City closed shop what happened to their league points for that season?
Did their points stand and was a walkover given for all their remaining games, or did their games to date (and their unplayed fixtures) not count in the league tables of that year? What year was it anyway?
It was 2006 and their results were "expunged" (The exact world used) so all previous results didn't count towards the final table

Thanks Dodge
Thanks Dodge.
In our local league one team has gone belly up after a few games. We were the only tean that has dropped points to them. It seems that the league wants their existing games to stand (and give a walkover for the games yet to be played). This effectively gives everybody a 2point advantage over us. I was hoping to use the recent Dublin City example to get us back square.
If I remember Cork City were not happy at the time as their rivals had dropped points to Dublin City were effectively upgraded by the ruling - like we would hope to be.
Apologies if this went off thread, but as it turned out the people in the know were here. Thanks again.
It was Shels (in particular) who were not happy, as Derry leapfrogged them, having lost to City. Not that there was anything slightly unusual about Shels complaining about something.
(I think you are off thread. However.)Thanks Dodge.

Leinster Senior League deal with this situation regularly. They award 3-0 win to the opposition from the time the decision to withdraw/not continue with games is made
In season 2007/08
Check Sat Major 1D, Rathcoole Boys, results
http://www.lsl.ie/viewresultsdsept07e.aspx
Check Sat Premier, 'results' of Shamrock Rovers
http://www.lsl.ie/viewresultsdsept07e.aspx
Both suffered 3-0 results at the end of the season, but other results stood.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Wayyyy off topic but the LSL have a rule that if you leave the league with less that 10 games played all your games are null and void and you're removed from leage and have to re-apply. If however you have played 10 or more games then your results stand and all remaining games are 3-0 losses.
