    Favourite/Funny Moments you have encountered in the Eircom League

    Thought this could be a few laughs and take away the doom and gloom from other topics, could well become a sticky some day too....

    Favourite moments
    When Kevin McHugh scored his hattrick against Longford in 01-02 playoff, was great, from way out too iirc

    The 6-0 demolition of Athlone last year, 1-0 going into the 2nd half but Kev secured his hat-trick + goals from Breen, Gorman and Mohan made it a memorable night
    Of course the 3-0 victory over Dundalk to give us our first league title ever is another, the buzz and atmosphere was excellent tbh



    Funny moments:
    The match against Bohs last month. A Bohs fan received a ball at HT & hid the ball under his jumper, dunno if he got away with it though plus the bohs fans were having great banter coming out with bizzare remarks. "Roddy Collins-Football genius" / hmm if we lose at least Rovers will be 5 points behind harps. Some guy kept chantin "your crowds are getting smaller, your crowds are getting smaller..." but it came out all croakily to which my dad said to me quietly- your throat is gettin sorer yer throat is getting sorer. Ffffffffb

    The recent harps against St Pats match when the assistant referee(linesman) bumped into a photographer on the line . The assistant then had to be replaced after holding the game up for around 5 minutes

    "who 's your Daddy?"- someone shouted at Delaney in the Shels v Glentoran match, which I thought was quite funny

    Probably more but can't remember right now...

    Others?

    The Drogheda Bohs game. drogs went 2-1 up and started singing "you only sing when your winning" Then Bohs went 3-2 up and sure enough the Bohs fans started singing and the Drogs fans went very very quiet

    Funniest moment has to be Fenlon and Byrne totally losing the plot after the first game between Bohs and Shels at Dalymount this season.

    Then one wag in the stand pipes up with:

    "Don't get Ollie angry - he'll have us ****ed out of the League!"

    Kom Igen, FCK...

    Roddy and Ollie.

    Also, the Dundalk fans I saw last season drinking in the Carlisle and then acting all innocent when the Gards came for the drink.

    Just remembered the Bray-Belgrove u21's match. Keith Kelch kicked the ball away after a foul, it hit the lino and Kelchy was sent off!

    A few years ago the BSC's head knacker was standing watching the game and posing the hard man when a Damien lynch (I think) clearance hit him full-force in the nuts and he went down like a sack of spuds. Loads of people took photos of him and put them up on the net - classic.

    Stephen O'Brien doing the ooompa lumpa dance for the Bohs fans during the game last week. That man is a legend - best non-Bohs player ever. FACT.

    I have two funny moments.

    1. while hearing Roddy talk on Joe Duffy last year after the "Dublin City Gate" scandal, I phoned in and asked him a couple of questions. His reply was "that he had no conscience about the whole thing."

    2. Watching the Pats v Derry game on TG4 tonight, I saw some of the Derry fans swigging cans of "Strongbow" cider.

    It's a funny aul game.

    Our so-called hooligan group.

    Who if you believe the more imaginative Rovers fans, or the Shels fans who copy them, "run" our club.

    In the cup two years ago when we played Galway...
    Of course,being Sligo,the ref was a joke so one fan had enough so jumped over the barriers onto the pitch and chased the referee,until some very good tackling from the stewards stopped him in his tracks.. Anyone else remember that one?

    LOL

    There used to be a bloke in Mel's who took up position on the railway side and every match, if he took a set to the linesman, would follow the latter up and down the sideline (outside the fence of course) abusing him non stop.
    You really had to see it though.

    The plank at the cross. Very early 90's i think when no stretcher available they had to get a plank to get an injured player off the pitch.

    Few years ago when Rovers playing warming up at halftime, ball went into the shed which wouldn't return it. Keeper (Gough or O'Dowd, i can never remember) came into the packed shed to retrieve the ball.

    This season watching Eamo on de mobile to Fenlon when he losing the plot & match at home to City.

    One eyed kid in Drogheda who took his glass eye out.

    I know it's not EL...............but............1

    I remembering a game between B'sloe Town and Knockcroghery United in the Roscommon League in the early 80s. Liam "Lamma" Carroll, the Town right full went chasing after a ball to collect it for a throw in. He looked back at me to say something and, before he knew it, fell in to a bog hole, a deep, water filled, mucky boghole.

    When we pulled him out, he looked like a cross between a hairy creature in Star Wars - Chewbacca, I think - and Treeleaf in Lord of the Rings.
