Odds on a first double for Rovers since 87 are reducing. Its actually quite an amazing stat that it hasn't been achieved since then considering Dundalk have done it 3 times (88-15-18) + in 79 but not for this comparison, Bohs did it 01 + 08, Shels 00, Cork C in 2017 and Derry** 89 during that period.
**And before any Derry fans start, the treble has been won 4 times previous to 1989, Rovers 3 times and Bohs once, and the Shield was a massive trophy too, and bigger than the league cup, all won by Rovers and Bohs.
I think a regular poster on here from Derry has a signature 'Have you ever won a treble'.................its been done 5 times in history of LOI.

#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).
Cant say i care much about doubles, maybe i was spoiled having a few in the 80's , all i really want to do this sa=eason is win the league first and foremost.
Getting to group stages again for the bit of foreign travel would be a nice second priority.
For me, winning the league is a priority too. I like to bet on winners At the same time, I wish that for all the teams I support in the different leagues.
I didn't watch games in the 80's since I wasn't born yet. So you had time to get more fan I hope I get to see the doubles too.
Hi everyone! I like football and I like your forum. I don't get on the forums very often. Hopefully I won't bore you too much

You realise that makes us sound like some sort of vampire convention looking for fresh victims, right?
Note to other lurkers - we're not vampires. Join us...!

Drogheda signed Hayden Cann and Oisin Gallagher on loan from Lincoln City….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Dane Massey has retired. Lovely player to watch when he was at his peak
Paaatrick's Agletic
Probably one of the few LOI players over the past 10-15 years that had a genuine shout of an Ireland cap. Bit of a shame he didn't get one when he was really flying around 2015-17.
Also good for him that he's going out when he still has a bit in the tank, not to tarnish any reputation. Was still very good for Bray last year.

Callum Bonner signs for us from Dundalk. He came through their U19 side and was their top scorer. Any Dundalk fans know much about him?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Bit of a surprise tbh. He's talented, neeeds to play senior ball. He certainly can score. We could be talking about him more during the season.
Not sure if this is the right thread but rumours John Mahon picked up a bad injury in Sligo,Achilles apparently and could be out for the season,would be a big loss for them…..
