How many is it then ?

It's a run that has to end some time

If Harps get promoted the derbies give everyone something to look forward to next year.Good for the bank accounts of both clubs as well.

Remind me of how big that run is though Mr A - and how many times it's been broken in competitive fixtures......?

Definitely agree. Good for the league and for North-West football.

Plus, ribbing aside, Harps are my 2nd team, so I want to see yee's do well anyway.

Way too big, and not often enough

I know we definitely beat you in "The Irish News Cup". Do you remember that? Wat a quality competition that was

So that's the one I mentioned.

Any advances on that....?

Harps Kid....?

You don't know? Yet you blabber away there about 'one win' when you well know its not correct...

Derry City have played Harps 55 times. Harps won 5 times, twice in the Irish News Cup. twice in the League cup and once in the League when they won 1-0 at home.
Pretty abysmal record for Harps.

I don't think you can count the annual friendly "Ulster Tyre Cup" as a competitive fixture. We've played competitive fixtures 48 times - the League, FAI Cup, League Cup and Irish News Cup.

You may very well want to have counted the Ulster Tyre Cupe games if you had won any of them.

But just take the three premier competitions

LC you played Derry City 15 times. WINS 0

FAI Cup you played Derry City 3 times. WINS 0

eL you played Derry City 24 times. WINS 1 at home.

No matter how you twist it, it's still a very abysmal record for Harps.

Maybe I was hallucinating but I remember Nesovic scoring against you in the League Cup in Finn Park to beat you 1-0 and Sammy Johnston scoring a couple against you in the Brandywell to beat you in the same competition. I was at both games so unless it was October and I was off my chops on the magic mushies I stand to be corrected.

The graveyard should be kept as far away from TV screens as possible.

42 competitive games and only 1 win.

Apologies Harps fans - I unfairly quoted 43/44 games in a previous quote........

LOLAH....

**bellavistaman** · 29/10/2007, 9:16 AM

Anybody think this could be slight advantage to Ramblers, bit of pressure being on tele. Could **** the course if ever like.

Except that you're totally wrong.

2 wins in the LC, including our first ever, with Sammy Johnston, still a legend, stick 2 past yisin the Brandywell.

No Harps fans will deny the record is brutal, but at least get your facts right.

Plus it will be all the sweeter when we knock yis outa the Setanta!!
