Oh how long have you been a City fan then?
By that logic, Derry would have won about 18 penalties this season, as they've played the 11 league teams (bar Drogheda), two teams in the Setanta, three teams in the UEFA and probably one or two more in the FAI Cup and the League Cup. I challenge you to show me those 18 penalties.
When was the last time UCD played at the Brandywell and DIDN'T have a penalty awarded against them?Originally Posted by pineapple stu
First game of the season. Last season.
I challenge you to show me the 18 penalties still. Stop changing the subject. You're using a once-off example (i.e. two penalties in three games) to say that any team is guaranteed to concede a penalty once a year.
For the record, I don't recall the last time before this year we conceded a penalty in Derry.
What 18 penalties? I was referring to UCD. In the 21 years we have been travelling to the Brandywell to play games we have had penalties awarded against us in more games than we have not had them awarded.
In the first three to four years in the League of Ireland, Derry were awarded numerous "home town " penalty kicks.
That's your quote. It doesn't refer to UCD; it refers to games there in general, so you're now changing your stance in saying that you were talking about UCD only.
I've gone back over the few Derry games I was at and can confirm the following -
2006 -
0-2 - penalty
0-0 - penalty
0-2 - no penalty
2005 -
0-3 - no penalty
2003 -
2-0 - no penalty
0-1 - no penalty
2002/03 -
0-1 - no penalty
Which goes back four seasons with penalties only in one year. So your post is inaccurate.
Noooooooobody Cares!
You can't spell failure without FAI

I stopped going to games in the Brandywell after 1996/97 season cause I got ****ed off !
a) Seeing UCD get hockeyed
b) seeing UCD have dodgy penalties awarded against them.
It's a pro-Derry conspiracy!
Damn Derry refs!
Their fans, during the troubles, used to sing " We know where your car's parked " to the referees when they came onto the field. Martin Moran , when he was playing for Galway United, had a set of licence plates stolen one time up there.
You haven't being in The Brandywell for 10 years. That proves your argument has no merit.

And I gave out to Hoops1. I've got to stop reading this site before I just give up and start posting in text language.

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
