Come off it, the only record we hold in the League of Ireland and you want to take it off us?

I'm not sure you can take last season's meaningless game as an indicator bearing in mind several of the Waterford players were allowed to head off on holidays instead of playing the match.

nice try big mac !! at that stage you had no idea if you needed the extra few few points for the IAG final shake up - waterford def played to win this tie - infact you needed to win it more than us, as we had zero chance of making the cut due to seasons 03 + 04.

nobody told maxi !

The previous season - 2005 - the First Division club beat the Premier Club as well. Dublin City beat Shamrock Rovers. Will it be a hat-trick in 2007??

What does this process entail? I'm looking at you passerrby (

)or maybe Raheny Red could tell me next November?

Officially, everyone had to be re-elected for this season I think. No idea what the process is for the next few seasons until they get the A league up and running.

LOCK UP YOUR PETROL CANS!!!

I'd be happy with that!!!!
