Right then Soccerc

Seniors = Can't be this as you have said you havea cap from it
Olympic = Don't think football was an olympic sport at the time so that rules this out
LOI selection/ Amatuer = I'm ruling this out as well/don't think we could have got you to stop telling us about this day
Underage = Could be this
Universities = Don't think it would be this one unless you went to Uni at a young age and went straight into one of the teams
Schoolboy = You would have had one year left at schoolboy age so I would recon this is the one

So by my logic (which is and never has been all that great) I recon it was a schollboys match. - you wern't part of the DDSL team that won the Kennedy cup in 1979 were you?

Was it a women's match? Sorry if that was mentioned already.

BTW just to correct the previous post we did play Olympic qualifiers then and lost to Norway but soccerc has ruled them out.

soccerc when u say you have a cap, does that mean you actually won the cap or that you just happen to have the actual 'cap' from it in your possession?

Thats what I thought. And I thought that he said that it was a senior match, and that while caps were awarded for the match, it wasn't recognised as such.
Ps I haven't a clue.

WTF?, I have said nothing of the sort.

Didn't see a reply to my earlier question so I'll come right out with it. Was it the Paddy Mulligan testimonial when an Ireland 11 played Forest at Dalier? The score fits (0-2) but it was 1980 I think not 79.

LOL, didn't answer it as the game was in 1979 and not at Dalymount

So Dunphy managed a Republic of Ireland International Irish team in 1979, that was beaten 2-0, which was a Senior Mens match, played in Dublin, but not in Dalymount, which the FAI awarded Caps for, which soccerc has in his possession and also the programme for the corresponding game.
Was it a testimonial game?

Where did I say it was a senior game? No it was not a testimonial.

Ok. You said its not a Full International, a Ladies team or an Underage game. Which only leaves an Amateur team, B team, Intermediate or Junior team.
You said it was an Official ROI team, which rules out representatives, and you've discounted testimonials.

Is all this correct ?

Finally, someone has factually read my replies. You are now on the right track

Hint: The Intermediate and Amateur sides are only a recent phenomena.

No B internationals between 1960 and 1990 as far as I'm aware bar one unofficial one against England in 1971 so it has to be Juniors.

Not sure if this counts but I was at a game between Ireland(senior team) v Germany B in Dalymount. We won 1-0. Not 1979 though. So it must have been a LOI selection that Dunphy was managing. And the FAI did give out caps for LOI games.

I said LOI selection on page 4, will be well narked if that's what it is!

**gspain** · 10/12/2007, 4:03 PM

Junior Team probably v Scotland then. We definitely played Scotland at home in 1979. If I had to guess at a venue then Iveagh Grounds in Crumlin but maybe Richmond Park.

**gspain** · 10/12/2007, 4:15 PM

OK I've cheated - checked the programme.

20th October 1979 Ireland v Scotland Junior Intl Iveagh Grounds Crumlin.

Manager E. Dunphy.

LOL, about bloody time Gary

So Dunphy has international management experience but not one player, apart from the 'keeper was played in their normal position that day.
