Yeah, that would be #2. The extra tension in the play-off game just puts it ahead for me.Originally Posted by Bald Student
I don't remember the exact details of the match but I do remember that Barry Ryan was held accountable for the defouling of the toilets in the montrose hotel after.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
As a derry supporter 3 matches spring to mind:
9 -1 at home to Galway , 7-2 away to Harps
Jason Byrne got both goals no?
Hajduk Split is the stand out one for obvious reasons for Shels. The season before had some great ones though, beating Bohs 1-0 in Dalymount after they stuffed is in Tolka to all but secure a title we looked like we had thrown away was special, incredible atmosphere at that game and George Hamilton had his big speech about it. The Rovers 4-2 game was something else too, they had beaten us 2-0 in Tolka not long before and at half time are 2-0 up again, magic stuff.
6-4 with Bohs wasn't bad either, 96 cup final replay most fans would have up there but definitely the Split game for me.
Coming from 2-0 down to beat rovers in the cup.
Home and Away to NEC for the atmosphere and the scalp.
The recent 2-0 in tolka was great too, have come away from there depressed far too often.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Loads of League games stand out, 3-2 v bohs at Milltown Jan 87 was special but beating them 1-0 in Dalyer on the night they were celebrating their big anniversary was a nice one too!
2-1 away to Odra was my first away win in europe & will always be special!
The trio of 2-1's v pats at Richmond a couple of seasons or so back with late winners in them all, robbos one was the best though for celebrating, we went ballistic!! great night indeed!!
Koh
Thomas Davis have said they will be the last man standing, they were WRONG!!
SRFC will NEVER die!!
Apart from the cup wins,
Cobh 0-2 Ltfc,600 town fans in cobh biggest ever away support,the pitch invasion at the end and celebrating with the player
Harps 3-2 Ltfc(ag 3-3) win 5-4 on penos.My all time favourite town match.The first leg in flancare was very dull and it looked like the secong leg was going to be a non event.First half was poor and when lavine scored that stunner at the start of the first half it looked like it was all over but were we wrong.McHugh was amazing that day and looking back harps deserved to win but that made it all the more sweeter.Remember at 3-2 in extra time just sitting on the terraces with my head in my hands before maccers peno.People had to leave for the penaltys because they couldnt take it.
Pats 0-2 Longford 2003,after losing 2-0 to ucd in flancare it looked like we were going down.500 town fans there and the atmosphere was amazing.Those were the days when the players played with their hearts on their sleeves.It was the first time we had scored 2 all season.
Longford 2-0 Bohs,the night after kenny left for bohs.
Dorgheda 0-5 Longford,our biggest ever win in the league and I was one of the few who witnessed it.
Bohs 1-1 Longford,I know its not a win but it was the game that gave shels the title and i'll never forget the reaction of the bohs fans afterwards.
Longofrd 3-2 Bray,2-0 down at half time,a neutral i had with me tried to convince me to go home,lavine got 2 and stuie holt scored from a corner
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Remember that one alright, Section O with their JUDAS signs
I was another who witnessed it. In shíte form, and go and win 5-0, amazing. Liam Kelly's only Town goal IIRC.Dorgheda 0-5 Longford,our biggest ever win in the league and I was one of the few who witnessed it.
Remember the corner squeezing in alrightLongofrd 3-2 Bray,2-0 down at half time,a neutral i had with me tried to convince me to go home,lavine got 2 and stuie holt scored from a corner
Correct (still have it on tape)
4-1 versus Pats on the final day of our greatest ever league campaign.1-0 down at half-time, 45 minutes of magic from the Wanderers (Mick Doohan got 2 that day if I'm not mistaken). Cork pipped us to the Inter-Toto by beating Shels 1-0 with an Ollie Cahill goal which also meant that Bohs took the league title (prett sure Bohs put 5 past Kilkenny that day too), we may not have made Europe but damn we were brilliant.
My favorite 2 Shels wins are not cup finals or European games but the two away wins against Cork last season
Derry 1 Rovers 0 - Cup Final win with Liam (God) scoring
Derry 2 Harps 1 - God's last match, Noel King and his "destiny' tripe, celebrating among harps players and infront of their fans and best of all relegated them to where they belong!
"The Derry fans were fantastic in both matches. They sang their hearts out all the time and created an even better atmosphere than the Cup Final. They were brilliant. - David Graham, Gretna striker
