Memorable Moment

**CharlesThompson** · 04/10/2007, 8:18 PM

I have so many memories I remember and so memories that have been lost forever through alcohol induced,... turbulence you might say.

Obviously Kilkenny on that fateful day in 2001.

The moment when Bobby Ryan's header hit the net with only a couple of minutes left in 2003.

The Rosenborg supporters staying behind en mass in the Lerkendal Stadium and singing "Stand up if you hate Rovers" after they hammered us 4-0 in the Champions League.

What memories!!

One of the best was actually a match we lost - Tolka Park August 2001 - Bohs 0-1 Aberdeen. Unfortunately I wasnt at the away leg we won 2-1 in.

I was only supporting Bohs about a year, bit more maybe. That was the most nerve-wracking ending to any football match ever for me. Clinging on, 5 minutes of stoppage time. Then one of the Aberdeen lads rifles a shot in the 95th minute which I was sure was in, until Wayne Russell gets his fingertips to it to push it over. Final whistle soon after, amazing night.

Incredible night for us . The night most of us thought 'Yeah we're gonna win this league'. Dan Murray scoring from a corner bout 10 minutes from the end. 1000 of us going mental.

Another Dan Murray goal from a corner would be next on my list-Cyprus last year. Had been hearing for weeks how they were gonna hammer us over there. They're looking good and get the goal...we're all worried we're gone out and then we settle down, and up comes the big man and bullets it home. Cue me going absolutely mental as our players get pelted with lighters and stoned.

Bout 10 minutes later an absolutely shattered Denis Behan(couldnt handle the heat at all) is being subbed, pretends he doesnt have a clue whats going on and walks the other way, getting incredible abuse from the Apollon fans, all sorts thrown at him and he looks surprised then turns to see the board and with a bemused look claps their fans before talking his time strolling off(though Im not sure if he could have moved any faster if he'd wanted to).

It was never a goal, the ref thought it would be fitting to let it stand when he saw it was Coyle (cnut) that scored

Billy Clery's last minute winner against St Pat's in the last game of the 2000 season which kept Galway United up and effectively relegated Waterford.

I was outside the Empire State Building in New York when I got a text message from Tir Oileann which read:

"1 - 0 billy 90 mins staying up "

Happy days.

In turners cross when we won the league , I was VERY VERY young that day but remember running up to the legend that is Tom McNulty and getting his autograph , I'm sure Cork city fans like been reminded on this

Was an incredible day and one that will live with me forever.

The FAI cup final has to come close as well , Edit 2002

Sad day when we were relegated for the first time and the next season we played out first match on sunday afternoon in front of about 120 people

Sean Hagan's goal in gothenburg. The 5 second delay from after the goal was scored to when the Derry fans started celebrating. The ground went silent. Amazing

Yeah, that was a good one too. Confirmed our spot in Europe.

In 1984 in an early round, ( it was the replay of the First Round proper when we beat Sligo[the holders] 3-0) of the Bulmers FAI Senior Challenge Cup, someone was overheard saying'' College For Europe''! It was reported the following morning by a journalist... who put in the following '' everyone got the joke.'' Nobody laughed the following September when we drew 0-0 with Everton in the firstround first leg of the European Cup-winners Cup, in Tolka

Derry City- officially the slowest fans in Europe.

What memories!!

All great days but the one I think you are forgetting is a certain FAI Cup Semi-Final against the filth on a Good Friday.I think almost 10,000 packed into Dalymount.

I still remember every moment of the 90th minute winner.Liam O'Brien picks up the ball just outside the centre circle, sprays a ball out to Toccy who lifts it into the box where Neso's header was saved but only pushed out as far as the waiting Glen Crowe who smashes it home to spark scenes of absolute mayhem!!!

Will always remember him sliding on his knees towards the Jodi and me nearly getting killed in the push forward!

What a night!!!

Martin McDonnell's late equaliser in Tolka Park in the 1985 FAI Cup semi-final v Limerick. One of my first big away games, up on the trian with the uncle. Hassle with small section of Limerick fans before the game, they go into 2 goal lead, Johnny Glynn pulls one back. Game nears the end, start moving towards exit so we'll be in time for the train back. Someone shouts 'hold on' or something like that, we all stop, crane our necks (or look thorugh people's legs, as I did) and bang. Goal. Magic.
The replay in St Mel's was great, cracking atmosphere, but because of the hassle at the two games, mammy wouldn't let me to the final, boo hoo. While we won the cup in 91, and there was Billy's late winner against Pats, that is my memorable moment.
Good thread

He was only on the field about 5 minutes and it was the only decent thing I ever remember him doing in a Bohs shirt as I am too young to remember him in his first spell at the club.

Sorry, I wasn't having a go, I've no idea how he played for Bohs. It's just all I can remember from his City days was him struggling to fit into the shirt.
