Fastest LOI Goal?

[dcfc_1928]

Surely if it was the quickest goal EVER in the League, some online article would mention it.

Someone else have a search and try and find info about it.

I disagree i remember EL weekley saying that that cork goal was the quickest

[BohsFans]

UCD v Bohs (February 2001) Report from The Irish Examiner
The match had an amazing start when Crowe nodded home a long ball from veteran defender Tony O’Connor over the head of the advancing Barry Ryan.
The goal came after just eleven seconds. But Crowe was denied a place in the history books as the scorer of the fastest goal of all time in the Eircom League.
Dublin referee John Feighery had ordered a second kick off as several players had encroached the centre circle. The official timing for the goal was later revealed as 17 seconds by fourth official Eddie Barr.

The Sun campaigned that 17 secs was the wrong time, as the clock should have been reset and the league official timed the goal at 9.97 seconds

If it was a Cork goal that was quickest atleast HALF of the Cork members of Foot.ie would be on here tellin' us about it. "We're the quickest - biy!"

Lads, AFAIK ... it was a Bohs player (home game not in Dalyer??) and 13 seconds and it was record (it stands counted) and it was about 20-30 year ago from what i remember. Was on SportsCall for a few weeks about three years ago trying to confirm it.

If it was scored recently ... we'd all know who it was in fairness.

From the Cork City website:

05/04/04
Cork City 2-3 Waterford United
Waterford got the better of Cork City in tonights Munster derby at Turners Cross. City took the lead after 30 seconds when Kevin Doyle picked up John O'Flynn's pass, turned and shot low past Waterford goalkeeper Dan Connor from 12 yards.

I think Donal Goldan scored for us against Derry in the
last game of the 94/95 season after about 13 seconds

Here it is:

I don't think there has been a quicker one since.

Funny how all the candidates for quickest goal happened in the last ten years or so, and nothing in the previous 70 years came near it!

I would need confirmation from an official source but Kieran O'Reilly's goal v Monaghan last April was timed at 9 seconds?

Pizza it is then, but how far do records go back for this? 10/20 years??

Kieran O Reilly - from Cobh Ramblers website
Leading scorer in the Eircom League first Div for the 1st part of the season with possibly the fastest goal in league history with a 14 sec goal against Monaghan.

I would need confirmation from an official source but Kieran O'Reilly's goal v Monaghan last April was timed at 9 seconds?

I stand corrected

[Magicme]

We scored a really fast one against Dungdalk in the last game we played at Boriel before they got into their fetish stage. I rem, 2nd touch of the ball and our lad was at the goal mouth and it was in the back of the neck. cant rem details coz near peed myself with excitement but I know it was around 6-10 seconds.

I think Glen Crowe scored the fastest EL goal of all time in Bray in 2001.

enlighten me!

[nigel-harps1954]

Came across this thread this evening looking for a goal on google quicker than Funstons for Harps last night.

The fact that Peter Hutton has scored one quicker has sort of annoyed me.

Its was actually put up on YouTube a few weeks ago after doing a quick search.

Not sure YouTube existed in 2006

Kilkenny 0-2 Limerick in 1991-1992 season.

Barry Ryan scored after 7 seconds (from Kilkenny's kick off).


I am not sure that FAI have official records though. I was actually the poster who started this thread nearly 10 years ago looking for official records.

For the life of me, I still can't understand what he was doing up there. Must have been some sort of bizarre blitzkrieg tactic. Great to see Noel Hunt and Stephen Grant Grant Grant in Hoops.

Well past time to create a list, then?

Based on the thread so far, we have (with lots of gaps to plug, help please!!!):

Scorer Team Time (secs) Match Date
Glen Crowe Boh ? Bray v Boh 2001
? Mon 6-10 Dundalk v Monaghan ?
Barry Ryan Kkenny 7 Kilkenny v Limerick 1991/2
Peter Hutton Derry 7/9 Shamrock v Derry * 17 Dec 2002
Kieran O'Reilly Cobh 9/14 Cobh v Monaghan Apr 2005
Glen Crowe Boh 9.97/10 UCD v Bohs ** Feb 2001
John Bacon Derry 12 Derry v Dundalk early 90s
AN Other Boh 13 Boh v ? *** ca.1985-1995
Donal Goldan ATFC 13 AT v Derry Apr/May 1995
Kevin Doyle CC 15/30 CCFC v Waterford 5 Apr 2004
John McDaid Derry 16 ?? ca. 1988

* in Richmond Pk, ** Should that be Bohs v UCD? *** not in DP; where?

Crowe v Bray cannot be 2001, as the only Bray v Bohs that calendar year was 0-0 (30/09/01). It could conceivably be 17/12/00 (3-1) or 24/03/02 (2-2), or if it was a Cup replay 12/02/02 (0-4). braywanderers.com is down at the moment for maintenance, I'll check when it's back!

And there are wide variations in some of the claimed fast goals, especially O'Reilly and Doyle.

Lets get this one done!

How do you do a table here????
