It was fine when we had it a few years ago.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Very fond memories of Ryano/rhino Ian Ryan here in Dundalk.
Got a raw deal along with John Gill after promotion in 2008.
Was watching on TV so I obviously didn't see any off the ball stuff but something tells me you might be exaggerating it a bit.
As for Sheppard, the ball barely made it into the box and he obviously thought he could nick it from Supple before he could pick it up. Mistimed. You're also conveniently forgetting "scumbag" Supple dragging Shep to the ground by the neck.
I see Brendan Clarke scored a penalty for Pats against Sligo last night
I remember Matt Gregg scoring for UCD against Cobh 10 years ago, have any other goalkeepers scored goals in the LOI before?
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Billy Brennan missed a penalty in a League Cup quarter-final the same year Matt Gregg scored against Cobh. He'd already scored five for the 21s by that stage. I don't think any senior club (anywhere, possibly) has had two keepers score in the same season.
As a kid i remember a goal scored direct from a kick out in oriel park. It was league game in the late 70’s I think. Richie Blackmore (Dundalk) and Alex Ludzig (Prob Waterford) were the two keepers, I just can’t recall which one scored !!!!
Edit: It was Alex Ludzig who scored for Cork Alberts* v Richie Blackmore of Dundalk, late 70’s still the period.
*There was also a club called Cork Albert (no s) around this time, so it was def v whoever was in the league that season.

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).

Anyone catch an official attendance figure for Bohs v Cork City?
Thanks

On this topic (and completely off-thread), I was at the U16 FAI cup final in 2009 (I had to look that part up), between Greenwood and Salthill Devon, and current Cork Hurler & Footballer Damien Cahalane, who was on goal for Greenwood, scored from his hands.
Match report here. https://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/j...-27912023.html
It's interesting to note that as well as Cahalane, Greenwood had current Irish international and Sheffield Utd. player John Egan, and the now former Cork City and Cobh Ramblers player Eoin McGreevey. Salthill had Daryl Horgan and Enda Curran in their side.

So we have a few penos and a couple of length of the field punts, but has a League of Ireland keeper ever scored coming up for a corner/free? I remember Barry Murphy putting a header narrowly over in a Rovers-Bohs match and I rememeber Tony O'Dowd coming up for a late Pats corner at Dundalk only for Brian Byrne to score on the break, but I can't remember an incident of a keeper scoring a header or goal mouth melee.
Our keeper Mick Kelly glanced a header a whisker wide in the last play of the game on Friday up in Drogheda. I was sure it was going in at the time. Can be watched on the highlights on Town's youtube channel. I don't know of one myself but I'm sure there has been one scored like this at some stage though.
Matt Gregg scored coming up for a free; that's the UCD one mentioned above.
Also, Conor Kearns scored a bicycle kick from a corner for UCD U19s away to Cork a couple of years back and got invited onto Soccer AM to recreate it. He's our first choice keeper now.
Excellent collection! I had thought Gregg's was a long punt. There's a video of Kearns' effort isn't there?
