Pats v Derry - Anomaly

[Schumi]

Never heard that story before Dodge but even the FAI would struggle to come up with something as ridiculous as that.

Had they announced the off field stuff first, we'd see at least one case of it this year I'd say.

It could happen this year if it was tight as its the league placings that count not points...

Yeah it was that year. Bangor rings a bell but couldn't tell you more. Might look into it later.

I thought the Tiger Cup example was funny, but the Barbados-Grenada example is totally loopy!

I remember the game alright. I was on overs!

Sounds incredible but it actually happened

That's the one I was thinking of JC - thanks for that.

Pure madness - you couldn't make it up.

I wonder did the clubs get penalised like in Asia ? Probably not if Blatter's corrupt buddy from Trinidad was in charge of CONCACAF at the time

With the stadium announcement from Finn Harps and their record in recent seasons, it is in Galway and Dundalk's interest that Harps finish as far down the league as possible. Might have been better in the long-run for Dundalk to have thrown their game against Limerick last week.
