League record ?

[Gaillimh Al]

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.

Was asked by a former GUFC player after Friday's game if the Fingal win was a record. Reminded him of the 9-1 loss in the Brandywell, to which he replied "Oh yeah, sure I was playing in that game."

How quick was the goal you're thinking of?

I believe it was announced at the time as being 7 or 8 seconds, but cannot be sure on that.

there's a Dundalk goal recorded here as 8 seconds....
