Err - robbed. Though thanks for asking.

Both our teams finished the season on the same number of points. One got thrown out of the Premier Division afterwards for financfial irregularities. That pretty much answers your own questions.

RRS goes North of the Border.

**Candystripe** · 24/05/2009, 1:14 AM

Derry have only been awarded one penalty in the last 18 months home or away in the league.

Does anyone have a worse record in the premier?

**R�iteoir** · 24/05/2009, 2:20 AM

I'd wager the consistently high sales of tinfoil hats up in the North is the only highlight of the ongoing financial chaos affecting the world today...

Both finished equal after you'd had a loss to Dublin City expunged and we'd had a win expunged

Maybe your players should fall over more in the box?

They don't fall over, they get their legs chopped in half,defenders can feel free to handle the ball whenever they want as nothing is ever given,our players can get dragged back,tripped up and even shot,but they still won't be awarded a penalty

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that time when Farren was dragged into the penalty area by the entire Bohs back 4, tied to the post and riddled with bullets from their Tommy guns. I thought that was a bit out of line alright.

In fairness, the last two times I've been at the Brandywell, I felt we were very lucky to not concede penalties (a few at that) and we also had a number of other decisions go against us.

No way was that a peno. Sure the diving fecker got up and played on.

You bought the league with money you didn't have - end of story.

That's whay you were kicked out of the Premier and the Champions League only 3 months later.

Dublin City my arse......

OR to bring it, slight more, back on topic useless refs, questionably, sending off the goalkeeper when you're comfortably two goals to the good against your title rivals, and don't have recognised goalkeeper on the bench

Indeed. SK has to take the blame for that managerial error.

But the bottom line is that She;s should have been nowhere near the summit of the league at that point anyway, as they were cheating with money they didn't have.

Hence why the league dropped them 12 places only a couple of months later.

Sounds to me more like a useless keeper committing a professional foul outside the area and a useless manager not having a sub keeper.

I didn't notice this thread when UCD were denied a blatant penalty against youz in the first game of last season. Funny that.

The same League that decided not to strip them of the title ? seems a bit ironic quoting one decision of the League (relegation) and ignorig the same authorities decision that Shels were Champions.

Anyway can derry fans not just blame it (like everything else bad ) on Pat Fenlon ?

**Krstic** · 26/05/2009, 12:46 PM

A blind man could see that LOI referees are just bad at their job full stop.
I don't know how many times I've questioned whether an Official, either referee or Linesman, actually knows the rules of the game.
Terence Moyne certainly doesn't.

I think the officials are like everything else in the league.....................Poor.

Where did I even mention Pat the Rat....?

Personally speaking - I didn't want the title stripped from Shels and given to City, as it wouldn't have been the same. Even if the FAI did take every other decision against Shels (stripped of premier place, stripped of CL spot).

Anyways - enough of the bad old days.

No,it was Sammy Morrow in the Buttimer cup final when he was attacked by 3 Bohs players inside the box.
