Limerick 1 Man City 4
City never got out of second gear but they didn't need to be very good.
There was an obvious class difference. Clarke and Heath scored particularly
good goals and Peter Reid ran the midfield. Niall Quinn was a big
disappointment. Stephen Napier scored a late consolation for Limerick but
most of the 3,000 crowd were asleep at that stage.
Ballinasloe 0 Birmingham 4
Brum fielded a youth side which was a good thing for Ballinasloe.
They were 2 up in 8 minutes and missed sitters. Eric Hogan playing on trial
scored one and played very well. He was on the same youth side as Roy Keane
and looked a far better player when I saw them twice v Limerick youths in
the 1989 Munster Youth Cup Final. Cloughie didn't agree and I suppose that's
why I'm still writing software.
Galway 0 Birmingham 3
Again Brum won easily but were at full strength although a side
conmtaining such class players as Martin Hicks and Trevor Aylott should
be well suited to Div 3. Simon Sturridge looked a class striker and Rogerson
loked good in midfield (both scored) but the rest of the side was very
ordinary. They were still fitter, faster and stronger than Galway. Eric
Hogan came on as a sub and scored again. He really is a classy midfield
player and on the 2 performances I've seen Brum will sign him.
Limerick City 1 Sunderland 3
I couldn't go to this but according to my Dad Sunderland were pretty
poor and were lucky to win. Hauser scored twice and Owers got a late 3rd.
Daithi McMahon scored with another 40 yard free kick.

First competitive game of the season and Limerick get gubbed 5-2 in
Longford on Saturday night. Longford are generally on the receiving
end of such scorelines. Thankfully my insanity didn't extend to
travelling to Longford on a Saturday night but apparently we were well
beaten. It's not looking good for the new season.

there are serious problems at the club with their best players and now
their manager leaving. Maybe Cyril Farrell will be appointed caretaker

In the light of the recent events at the club, re: the
departure of Tommy Keane and John Glynn to Sligo Rvs and Cork
City and this week the dismissal of the Asst. Mgr. Adrian Walsh
I can fully understand why he may have resigned.
This new board of directors have so far achieved sweet $#@! All.
I think they should leave the management of players and coaching
staff to the Team Manager, and they should get off their asses and
start looking for a decent pitch to play on. They are good at
talking about what they are going to do, and what needs to be done
but so far that is all.
We had a similar situation a few seasons back after a reasonably
successful season.
Are these guys only interested in the trip to Denmark, or what?
What will be the attitude of the Dublin based players be to this
sudden upheaval within the club?
Will they be let go also!

| 11.5 | Galway news | GALVIA::SPAIN | Parker for England | Fri Aug 16 1991 12:55 | 41 |

The big news yesterday was the resignation of Joey Malone.
Naturally rumours abound. You can take your pick - Tony Mannion (manager
of Salthill Devon) was offered the job 3 weeks ago and turned it down. Tom
Lally (former manager who did well) was approached on Tuesday night. John
Herrick was also mentioned last night depending on who you spoke too.
The baoard weren't too pleased about the departure of Tommy Keane and
Johnny Glynn and then Malone announced he'd signed Derek Carroll. Carroll
is a very good player but the board wouldn't ratify the transfer as it
was costing too much. Malone had already gone public and wouldn't climb
down so he resigned on Tuesday, they asked him to take 48 hours but he
announced yesterday he was finished.
A little birdie told me weeks before the cup campaign that Malone
would be gone within the week as he was costing too much money. Apparently
he refused to go unless his contract was paid in full so they left him there
and he ended up winning the cup.
It's sad to see this happening and especially as there's a vital European
tie v OB next Wednesday.
George Guest also resigned last night. He has been involved in
senior football since Galway Rovers came into the L.O.I. as physio, chairman,
bagman and just about everything. He'll be a huge loss to the club.
League Cup
Galway United 4 Salthill Devon 0
Well managerless Galway United were still too good for Connaught
League champions SAlthill Devon but they were flattered by the margin.
Galway dominated early on and led in 10 minutes through Eamonn O'Donoughue.
Salthill gradually got back into the game and had chances to equalise
which unfortunately were all spurned. A second goal slightly against the
run of play after 70 minutes made it 2-0 and a Cleary header shortly
afterwards ended the Salthill challenge. Number 4 arrived late on to put a
flattering look on the scoreline. Salthill certainly weren't disgraced
on their first entry into a senior competition.

| 11.6 | more news | ESSB::TSHAUGHNESSY | Electric Shaughs! | Fri Aug 16 1991 13:12 | 16 |
| Tommy Lally has been appointed caretaker manager until he will be
appointed full time manager sometime next week I presume. Lally is
rumoured to want to take the job, but the current set-up at united
may not favour Lally as he is in favour of using all local talent
as much as possible, and the now board seem to want this also.
As for last nights game, it was good to see Galway playing some
nice attractive football considering the previous 24 hours, Gerry
Mullen played extremly well in midfield as did Cleary, and Mernagh.
I can't sign off without mentioning our very own Brian "Manc" Long
who played very solidly at right-back for the seasiders.
Roll on Wednesday night......
Rgds,
Shaughs.

| 11.7 | SACK THE LOT | MACNAS::SMORAN | | Fri Aug 16 1991 14:24 | 11 |
| I have to agree with Vinney about the role of the Galway Directors.
They have no idea about the playing side of the club and as far as I know
the majority of them were never inside Terryland until this year. Dont
get me wrong, the club needs to be run on a good business footing but
they should stick to doing that and let the manager run the team. It
looks like we will be fighting to stay up again and if the directors
think that we can survive with a local team, then their own businesses
must be nearly bankrupt if that is the type of forsight they have.

| 11.8 | Bleak future | GALVIA::SPAIN | Parker for England | Fri Aug 16 1991 15:17 | 28 |
|
An all local team is fine but not when the best local players are with
Sligo and Cork City.
The sad fact of life in L.O.I. football is that it costs money to be
successful. Galway were a mediocre side last season. Even with Joey
Malone they would have struggled this term. Derek Carroll would make a
difference but for the same money Joey could possibly have kept Tommy
Keane and John Glynn. both would be far more valuable and also are
locals.
If the directors do not intend to spend money on the team they must
invest in proper facilites. Terryland is a joke. I think a decent
stadium must be a priority. If the directors do this good luck to
them. If they intend surviving hand to mouth in Terryland with a crap
stadium, poor team they should get out now and make way for people with
more vision.
Joey Malone is no great loss to Galway. OK he won the cup but a
manager living 135 miles away meeting players at the weekend was never
a long term solution. The loss of Tommy Keane and John Glynn is much
more serious. I've seen it happen in Limerick as well. There are too
many parallels. Galway may not have reached the stage yet where
they'll lose 5-2 to longford but if things continue as they do it may
not be far away.
Gary.

| Totally agree Stephen. Although without naming any names, A former
player with Utd now a member of the board felt that Malones style of
manager was contradictory to the policy of the new directors. It has
been rumoured that Malone was too much a players man, looking for more
money for the players and looking after himself also, but felt that
Glynn & Keane were too ambitious after the cup win. This lead to the
demise of keane who told me that all he wanted United to give him was
to secure reasonable permanent employment in the city. As for the
buisness ability of the directors, Bob McDonnell of the now defunct
Galway Observer freesheet resigned his position due to the liquidation
of the paper !!! Maybe if they stick to buisness matters in the future
and let the manager run the football end of things, then maybe we will
see results. As for a new pitch,rumour has it that the Galway F.A. have
plans to expand Terryland in some way. Don't ask how. Whatever happened
the great plans to build a stadium on the Tuam road back in the mid
eighties. At this stage the minimum price of a stadium up to European
standard is between �5-10million. We will have a long wait.
|
| 11.10 | What next! | MACNAS::VBLAKE | | Fri Aug 16 1991 16:26 | 21 |
|
Is it not true that Malone had agreed terms with both Glynn and
Keane before he went on his holidays, and that while gone the
Directors would not sanction the agreements.
The Donegal man had a personal vendetta with Malone, and whatever
style of management was there it seemed to work. Directors should
stay with the business end, and not try and pick the team as well.
I you want my 2 cents worth, the directors, Joe Hanley excluded
are a joke, as were some of the previous guys.
They want to line their own pockets or what!
A bomb in the directors box at the next home game, well rotten
eggs at least.

Salthill Devon 1 Longford 2
Longford go to the top of their League Cup group against all the odds.
This was quite an entertaining game with Longford in control, took a 1-0 lead
but never again looked in the game. Salthill bounced back from the early
setback and equalised with a hotly disputed penalty which involved about 4
yellow cards for protesting Longford players. Only the referee or maybe only
the linesman who flagged it know what it was given for. It was cooly dispatched
by Brian Long (yes that Brian Long). From the kick off Longford were back
in the lead after a dreadful defensive mixup.
Salthill dominated the second half but excellent goalkeeping and a bit
of luck enabled Longford to survive.
Galway crashed 2-1 in Limerick (this I really can't believe) with the
big news being that Joey Malone is back as manager at least for the time being.

| The scorer of the Salthill Devon penalty, a certain Brian Long was also
one of many players to receive a yellow card for as he himself put it,
"a slightly late challenge". This tather temperamental player was also
lucky to escape a booking in his side's 0-4 loss to Galway Utd. last
Thursday. He certainly seems to have a great deal of resemblance to big

If there was it would be in the humour section. Dezzz Cork haven't got
a prayer. They might get a respectable result in Cork but that's all.
BTW it'll be an expensive trip. �8 to stand in the mud and �20 to sit

| Gary, how is this League Cup run???? can you give me some details, your
right it's very unusual to see Longford Town win two games all season
let alone two in a row, but Iam not complaining its good to see that
they can still field a team.
Would appreciate any further details.
regards,
-dave-
p.s Regarding Bayern Munichs weak start to the season don't worry they
will pick up real soon, and I can see Cork geting well beaten.
Bayern are still trying to get the right 11 together and so far
they have used 19 players. They have a new brazilian player called
Mazinho and he looks real class. Time will tell but the only other
team that looks like they could challenge Bayern for the league is
Eintract Frankfurt.

Hi Dave, the League Cup is run in 6 groups of 4. Longford have already
beaten Limerick and Salthill and travel to Galway next Sunday. Even a
narrow defeat might suffice to put them in the quarter finals.
Longford have a new manager in Con Flanagan and have a half decent side
including a couple of promising young players. I'd say they'll be out
of the re-election zones but hardly serious promotion contenders. They
seem to be on the way up though.
I'd love to see Cork take Bayern but realistically they have no chance.

Galway face OB in the ECWC preliminary round tomorrow night. Kick off
is 6.30 and buses leave from St. Patricks Church in Forster Street @
4.30 price �1 return.
OB are in a state of disarray, bottom of the Danish league, conceding
over 3 goals a game and beaten 4-0 at home at the weekend. This should
be the ideal opportunity for an Irish side to progress in Europe but
sadly Galway are also in a bad way losing to a very poor Limerick side
at the weekend.
Prediction a score draw with OB winning the return comfortably.

in Sligo but failed to score.

After an incredibly boring 70 minutes the Limerick v St James's Gate
shield tie finishe din a welter of excitement. Barry Ryan gifted the Gate
the lead on 70 minutes with a terrible backpass and this was the spark
needed to bring the game to life. On 80 minutes Barry Ryan made a reckless
challenge on goalkeeper Tommy Tasker which left the keeper hobbling for the
last 10 minutes. To the amazement of everybody in the ground the referee
decided that this merited a penalty. Even by L.O.I. standards this was a
disgraceful refereeing decision. Ryan shot straight at Tasker and he duly
saved so justice was done. At that stage I thought Limerick would never
score but within a minute Paul Hogan scored a beauty. Right on full time
another defensive disaster involving Sam Allardyce gave Gate a 2-1 lead
but from the kickoff Brian Swords escaped down the right, his cross caught in
the wind, deceiving Tasker and looped into the net for a bizarre equaliser.
A draw was just about fair.

Dundalk had a somewhat fortunate win over Bohs thanks to a late Peter
Hanrahan goal.
The surprise team so far are Bray Wanderers who had an excellent if

A great night for Irish sides in Europe
Cork City 1 FC Bayern 1
A famous result for Cork as they hold mighty Bayern to a draw. Dave
Barry gave Cork the lead before Effenburg equalised 2 minutes before
the break. Bayern dominated the second half but brilliant displays by
Declan Daly and Paul Bannon kept them out and Cork held out for a
result their performance deserved.
Bayern have lost a few home games already this season to Homburg, Hansa
Rostock so there's still hope for Cork.....
Kispest Honved 1 Dundalk 1
This was an even better result from an Irish point of view but it won't
be seen as that. The Hungarian champions were held 1-1 by Dundalk in
Budapest. They had 4 of the squad that faced Ireland last week and
have been the top club in the country for years. I've no details on
the gameyet but it's a famous result for Dundalk and a 0-0 draw in
Oriel would see them through. They must have a real chance of
progressing.

Dundalk scored first with the Hungarians getting a late equaliser.
Dave Barry certainly took his goal well for Cork and left the Bayern defence
for dead. WHile Lady Luck and the post were on their side, amazingly
Cork had at least two good chances to win the match in the last 20 mins
with the keeper only able to parry a Dave Barry free with 3 Cork
players closing in. Packie Bonner please note how to parry the ball
around the post and not into the path of oncoming forwards.
(For international readers, Dave Barry is one of Ireland's top Gaelic
Football forwards and has constantly been at loggerheads with the
Gaelic football authorities in Cork over playing soccer. This year
he is focusing on soccer, last year Gaelic football.)
Cork's defence was superb and unfortunately they won't be able
to enjoy the Beer festival until at least after the return!

There were plenty of goals around today with 6 being shared at
Rathbane. Waterford because of this draw now look likely to qualify for the
final of the shield. Martin Quinlavin scored direct from a kick out to
give the visitors the lead but 2 stunning goals in a minute gave Limerick
the lead. first Albert Finnan scored from 35 yards and then Daithi McMahon
curled a free kick around the wall. Derek O'Connor equalised for the
visitors when the home defence was marked absent and Jimmy Browne then hit a
post. however Limerick regained the lead after a well worked move which saw
new signing Dundell score from Paul Hogan's cross. The second half was much
quieter but Waterford snatched a point when Jimmy Browne equalised after
yet another defensive disaster.
In the premier division Derry remain on top after a controversial
2-0 victory over Athlone. A hotly disputed Stuart Gauld penalty led to
Athlone's manager Pat Devlin and his assistant Eugene Davis being sent off
for protesting too much. Athlone's Conor Frawley and Derry's Paul Hegarty
were also sent off in a bad tempered game. Joe Hanrahan was Derry's other
scorer.
Dundalk remain in second place after a comprehensive 3-0 hammering
of Cork City. 3 first half goals decided the issue and the result must
frighten the Honved players who will not be relishing the return leg at
Oriel. Cork were totally outplayed and never threatened.
Bray's unbeaten run is over with Paul Osam getting the only goal
at the Carlisle grounds while 2 second half goals from Vinny Arkins and Derek
Swan gave Shamrock the victory in the battle of the Rovers. Shels defeated
Drogheda in a poor game on Friday night.
The match of the day was certainly the clash of Galway and Bohemians
at Terryland. bohs saved a point with a last minute penalty converted by
Lee King. Bohs led 1-0 but Noel Mernagh struck twice before the break to
give Galway the lead. Jimmy Nolan missed a penalty. Stephen Lally made
it 3-1 before David Tilson and a Jimmy Nolan own goal brought Bohs level.
John Cleary converted Galway's second penalty with 8 minutes remaining only
for Lee King to spoil the day for Galway and leave them in the bottom two.

Gary
on a personal note ,I was at the shels v bohs game last week and
was speaking to a mutual friend John Grace (limericks ex keeper).
I was with him at the game with his brother jim and out of curiosity
and talking about putting my foot in it, I asked jim who is he playing

Do you know something I don't? He's still our keeper although he was
beaten by a kickout from his opposite number last Sunday.
John was our player of the year last season.

FC Bayern 2 Cork City 0
Cork were given a standing ovation by the crowd in the Olympic Stadium
as the part-times were 15 minutes away from holding Bayern again.
Although on the defensive for almost the entire 90 minutes City created
3 clearcut goalscoring opportunities. Morley, Bannon and Caulfield all
missed good chances. Had one of them gone in we could have had the
shock of the season. Bayern eventually broke through on 75 minutes and
added a second in the last minute with a controversial penalty.
Tonight Dundalk face Honved at Oriel Park and must fancy their chances
of progressing. After a 1-1 draw in Budapest a scoreless draw would
suffice for Dundalk.

Dundalk 0 Kispest Honved 2
Dundalk made asad exit last night and despite having 95% of the play
deserved to go out.
Needing only a 0-0 draw to progress Dundalk poured forward in
uncharacteristic fashion and left them selves exposed at the back. It
was suicide and they paid dearly as the Magyars scored on a break on 23
minutes. The goal cam from a fortunate deflection off Ronnie Murphy
who almost made amends a minute later when his shot was taken off the
line. 4 minutes later Dundalk were exposed again and Honved killed the
tie stone dead.
Dundalk battled to the last and did everything but score.

Cork were invited guests of Bayern at their "Stammtisch" (regulars
table) in the Lowenbrau tent on the sunday before the game. The only
Bayern player to turn up was Alan McAnally. The Cork team left at
closing time, had a great night and enjoyed themselves. They trained on
monday for a couple of hours to sweat out the beer !!
Tuesday was a great night (speaking as a Corkman in Munich), the shirts
I'd ordered arrived on monday (brilliant shirts) which amazed even the
Cork officials as they'd only been in the shops in Cork 1 week before,
however connections with the Murphia saw to it that they arrived in
time :-). The game itself was entertaining and Cork had 2 or 3 chances.
Good atmosphere among the Oirish sympathisers, not many of whom were
from Cork. The team and officials arrived in the Irish 'sector' (3 Irish
pubs in about 100m radius). I got talking to the manager Noel O'Mahony
and the physio (I was in the boy scouts with him !!), and ended up back
in the Sheraton with the team and officials where they had their
imported Guinness set up in the lobby. I left at 5 am !! Now I know
why teams are so eager to get into Europe :-) All in all a great
night......

Limerick's first ever game in the first division was a disappointing 0-0 draw.
Although Limerick had most of the play we rarely threatened Tommy Tasker's
goal and indeed the Gate almost stole the game in the last minute. On this
performance it's going to be a .long long season.
3 of the other 4 first division games also ended in draws so Longford sit
proudly on top of division 1 after the first series of games.
Derry won again in the premier division and go 2 points clear as Dundalk
surprisingly dropped a home point v Drogheda.
I was at Shels v Sligo on Friday night in Dublin with shels winning a poor game
by the only goal. Sligo were dreadful and made no attempt to play football.
Shels played some nice football but lacked the killer instinct. Mark
Rutherford on loan from Birmingham scored the only goal after 20 minutes.
Shock of the day was Galway's 4-0 hammering of St. Pats.

Later than usual but I still have a lot of catching up to do.
Limerick won their first league game of the season yesterday with a very
fortunate late winner over Home Farm at Whitehall. It was a poor game with
little goalmouth incident with referee Pat Kelly ignoring yet another
blatant penalty wen a Limerick player handled a Home Farm shot. At least the
dodgey decisions appear to be going our way for a change. Johnny Walsh
stole the winner with a breakaway goal 3 minutes from the end when Farm
appeared the more likely to score. On this form neither side will challenge
for promotion.
As I was away last week I only got the results 2nd and sometimes 3rd hand. I
think they're right but the league table in today's Irish Times doesn't add
up. The Sligo v Bohs result could be different but it seems to have been a
draw.

I didn't get to any football game this weekend so no eye witness reports.
Limerick scored 5 in a comprehensive hammering of Finn Harps so maybe things
are looking up. Barry Ryan and Tommy Fitzgerald scored two each.
In the premier division Derry went 3 points clear but will be pegged back a
little today. They beat Galway 2-0 on Saturday but could only manage a
scoreless draw at home to close challengers Dundalk yesterday. Dundalk
meet Shels today.
Shamrock Rovers maintained their unbeaten record and enhanced their chances
with a win at shels. Vinny Arkins scored the only goal on 71 minutes.
Bray and cork played out a predictable 0-0 draw with Sligo finally coming good
by hammering Galway 5-1. Galway and Athlone now look in deep trouble even at
this early stage. Athlone actually led 1-0 at Drogheda before succumbing to 2
late goals.
St Pats trailed Bohs 2-0 with 19 minutes left to play but came storming back
to win 3-2 with Paul McDermott gifting the winner to Mark Ennis in the
last minute.
Longofrd are still surprise leaders in the first division with Waterford and
Cobh hot on their heels.

Shelbourne turned in the performance of the day yesterday by beating Dundalk
at Oriel Park. 2 late blunders by keeper Alan O'Neill gave Shels the points.
Bobby Browne and Padraig Dully took advantage.
Shamrock Rovers go second after a comfortable home win over Bray. Rovers were
the only side to take full points this weekend. The twin strike force of
Arkins and Swan took the glory with a goal each.
Cork City finally won a match. They hadn't won since beating Galway on the
opening day of the season. They trailed Pats 1-0 at the break yesterday but
John Caulfield scored twice in 5 minutes immediately after the break and
Gerry McCabe made it safe in the last minute.
Bohs had an easy 2-0 win over Drogheda while Athlone and Sligo played out
a featureless scoreless draw.
In the shield final second leg UCD got the draw they needed to take the title.
Darren O'Brien gave them the lead with Jimmy Browne equalising for the Blues.

| 11.44 | Good ole Philip | ESSB::SONEILL | | Tue Oct 29 1991 15:36 | 27 |
| A classic from veteran RTE Radio commentator Philip Greene last
Sunday.
Bohs were leading St Pats with 19 minutes to go. AS the reports
were coming in from around the country back to Philip for Pats
first goal. A short while later back to Philip for Pats equaliser.
Then in the midst of the final results back to Philip for a sensational
finish in the Bohs/Pats game. It went something like this. Bohemians
have snatched a sensational last minute victory here at Harolds Cross.
(I let out a loud cheer!!) Then he begins describing the winner
concluding with and "Mark Ennis pops up to score" (I wonder??? He plays
for Pats!!) . So a great 3-2 victory for Pats" Poor Philip is
still getting mixed up after all these years.
Still, Bohs for is much improved this year, although a victory on
Sunday would have left us within 4 points of the leaders. David
Tilson (5)is the second leading scorer and I see that Fran Hitchcock
has been signed to further strengthen the attack. Perhaps he will
finally fulfill the potential shown in his Home Farm days.

I heard a rumour a couple of days ago that it would shortly be
announced that Sligo are going out of football due to financial
difficulties. This may be a bit extreme but apparently they are badly
caught for cash due to big spending by Dermot Keely. This will
probably be Keely's last season in Sligo anyway. They can't pay
Keane's fee so he will stand suspended. Therefore Sligo are sending
him back.
Sligo appear to be the latest of a long list of clubs in financial
difficulties. Not everyone can have a benevolent millionaire like
Shels.

UCD keeper Brian McKenna who was so impressive for the Irish U21 side
cost his side a vital point at Belfield when he dropped an Ian Hill cross
to give Limerick a late winner at Belfield. Brian Swords was the grateful
recepient. Zoltan Istvan had give college the lead with Tommy Fitzgerald
grabbing Limerick's equaliser.
The so called match of the day ended 0-0 at the Brandywell but the real drama
and excitement was at Tolka Park. These sides had played out a 4-3 cracker
in the league cup quarter final with Shels emerging victorious. Yesterday
Shels grabbed a late equaliser to share 6 goals that left everyone except
Philip Greene breathless. Cork took an early lead through John Caulfield but
Shels came back to lead 2-1 at the break. Cork came back to lead 3-2 but
Padraig Dully scored the late goal to divide the spoils. Philip Greene was
his usual self describing the game as a great bonfire left over from
Halloween. Thety meet again at Turners Cross next Sunday in the return
fixture.
Galway dominated for 75 minutes at home to Dundalk. Then James Coll was
unjustly sent off for the visitors but 10 man Dundalk snatched the points
through Brian Irwin and Peter Hanrahan.
Athlone stole a point at Harolds Cross with a Paul McGee free 15 minutes from
time. Pats have failed to convert numerous chances earlier.
Longford stay top of the first division aftera good home win over Monaghan.

The venue for the final will be interesting - will they go for the

I presume that you agree that the league should fix the final for the
Brandywell. They did this last season and you were in full agreement
see below.
As Bohs still have some political clout I would guess that there's a
good chance it'll be in Dublin. It should of course be decided on a
toss of a coin but that's much too simple.

As regards the league cup commom sense dictates that it be played in
Derry where there is a decent ground, floodlights and greater revenue
potential. People in Limerick are too n=busy going to rugby these
days! I thought Limerick needed the dosh anyway and they have as
much chance of winning in the Brandywell as in Rathbane -:)

say was...eh.....at no time did I ever say that I wanted the game played at
the Brandywell. My sentiments last year were purely in concern that
Limerick get a few shillings to save the club.
Anyhow playing at the Brandywell still makes sense from a financial
point of view, but you must agree that there are a few more decent
grounds in Dublin than Stab City.

stab at last Sunday's results.
Bohs 2 Bray 0
Cork 2 Shels 2
Dundalk 2 Galway 1
Rovers 0 Derry 1
Athlone 2 Pats 3 ??
Drogheda Sligo ??
Derry go top with a first half goal in injury time before a crowd of
6000 at the RDS in atrocious conditions. APparently the second half
was a cracker with Derry holding out.
Shels recobvered from a 2-nil deficit to draw 2 all in Cork. Galway were
unlucky to lose in Dundalk after taking a first half lead - but then
Dundalk always manage to come back. Bohs beat Bray with goals from
Douglas and Lawless. Bohs play Derry, Shels and Dundalk in the next
three weeks and on current form could do ROvers a good turn -:)

| The GAA are at it again. A request to play a DUblin Vs Down challenge
(gaelic football) after the forthcoming Rovers/Bohs game has been
refused for some obscure grounds "not vested in the GAA" reason. With
DOwn as All-Ireland champions this was sure to attract a capacity
crowd to the RDS to celebrate Clanna Gaels/Fontenoy's centenary
Clanna Gael desire to play the game in Dublin 4 in order to promote GAA
in that area. My fondest memory of playing ClannaGael is of 20 of us
leaving RIngsend Park after a successful foray south of the Liffey like
300 Spartans as the locals waved goodbye with hurls, sticks and stones.
Clanna Gael will be at home with Rovers fans_:)
Meanwhile two American teams are playing a game of American football
at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick (that weird game called football
where the foot rarely makes contact with the ball). THey are very
welcome but it's beyond me how they are allowed to play there when
Kevin Moran, Niall QUinn, Packie Bonner et al were refused earlier this
year.
Meanwhile the Dublin COuntty Board are appealing the decision stating
that this obscure rule about grounds not vested in the GAA precludes
most of the clubs in Dublin from playing at all ! No more games at
Ringsend Park or other fine corpo grounds. They will probably still
lose but must keep up the pressure and put a motion to congress every
year until this bigotry is smashed - just as they did with the Ban.

| The GAA is run by a crowd of people who firmly live in the 19th Cenury with their
opinions about the effect of the garrison game on the pure unadultrated souls of the
young Irish, being affected to play a game such as soccer.
The real reason is that there like flexing their power over the public at large.
Remember 4/5 years ago when U2 played in Croker and literally shredded the Pitch
for a big game the Sunday afterwards. Ahhh, that was OK because it was an Irish
group playing in their home town. But the same summer we had a black/white
person by the name of Michael Jackso play on the noble GAA pitch in Cork.
Stretching the point a bit, me thinks.
While last year when Limerick was trying to arrange a soccer international to
commemorate the 300th anniversity of the ignoble treaty of Limerick.
The only pitch big enough was the GAA pitch in Limerick. It would have been
great to see international soccer in Limerick for the first time but the GAA
said that it wasn't appropriate. What harm, it would have put at least 12000
punts into the coffers of the GAA. The reason here wasn't money, only a short
sighted belief that this gesture would be forgotten by the common folk and they
would resume with full fervour their persuit of the Gaelic games without
interruption from this foreign game. This is hypocritical since the GAA owe
nearly 500000 for a stand that was built a while back. No thought was given
to the Limeick public. That's a gesture that wouldn't be forgotten for a very
long time by many people in Limerick
They have a tendency of really sticking it to the people when they chose to.
Yet this summer they allowed a rock star called Rod somebody or other to pounce
about on the pitch in Killarney. And tomorrow ( 16/11 ) there is a big American
footie game being played in Limerick on the same pitch that the soccer
international was refused last year.
The GAA are within their rights to disallow matches on their pitches but more and
more clubs are copping on and not handing over their hard earned pitches to the
GAA to do whatever they like with them. What is now happening is that the pitches
are becoming vested in the local community and can be used for any activity that
the local community council deem acceptable. Thus goes the rule whereby the local
community had to go on bended knee to the local GAA authority to ask permission
to hold anything from a cake sale to a kiddies sports day.
Long live the GAA.
James.

| Lads,
this is a SOCCER topic not a GAA topic. Please refrain from using that
REDNECK term in this conference. The GAA are a bunch of old farmers living in
the pre independence times with a very nationalistic view, a view not shared
by the majority of the population of Ireland that live in metropolis i.e.
all the major cities. So gents, think before you talk, they are not worth
getting upset about.

Drogheda have had a point deducted by the league over the late payment
of the transfer fee for former Shamrock Rovers full back Harry Kenny.
The club have been in severe financial difficulties and this will not
help matters. They are now 3rd from bottom and this could have a vital
bearing on the relegation zone.
Tonight the League of Ireland face the Irish League at Tolka Park.

year to give Bohs a 1-0 victory over Derry. (Ironic for Dermot O'Neill
that his former club should be first to score against him). WIth Shels
winning and ROvers drawing in DUndalk the league is wide open. But
then Shels and Dundalk have to play Bohs in the next 2 weeks also -:)

One result from last night. Bohs and Shels played out a scoreless
draw. Shels are clear on top for the first time in 14 years.
On Tuesday night the Irish league defeated the L.O.I. 2-0 at Tolka Park
to end a run of 4 successive defeats in the series. The Northerners were
full value for their 2 goals victory which was a source of great embarrassment
to Roy Coyle. Roy currently manager of Derry City was one of the most
successful managers in the history of the Irish league but upon moving
North to manage a Southern club ( :-) ) he sharply criticised the standard
of the Irish League and claimed the L.O.I. was much better. This defeat has
cost him a case of wine.
Drogheda have had one point deducted by the League for failing to pay
a transfer fee in time. The club are in serious financial difficulties and
this is yet another body blow. They are appealing. This could have a major
bearing on the relegation issue. Drogheda had just pulled clear with an
unbeaten run recently. It remains to be seen what effect the decision will
have on the team. I think deducting points in this manner is all wrong and
not just because it has f&%ked up my fixture database. :-)

Limerick City went top of the fuirst division yesterday with a 4-1 hammering
of Kilkenny in the worst weather conditions ever experienced at Rathbane.
High winds and heavy rain made a lottery of the game and a scoreless first half
failed to make the handful of spectators forget about the appalling conditions.
Early in the second half the home defence was AWOL as Billy Walsh finished
well. At this stage it looked curtains for Limerick who hadn't really
threatened. Then enter . With 20 minutes remaining a free from Alan
Shanahan way out on the left caught in the wind and flew over the keeper into
the net for a freak equaliser. From the kickoff we won another free and again
it was floated in, headed on and a defender pushed it wide of the keeper for
Johnny Walsh to finih it to the empty net. Minutes later the keeper dropped
another shot and Barry Ryan followed up to score. A nightmare day was
completed when Michael Kerley's free kick went through the keepers legs for
number 4 late on. As Cobh drew with Home Farm and Longford lost in Waterford
Limerick are now top of the table.
In the premier division there is now a 3 way tie at the top (remember the
title cannot be won on goal difference) after Shels and Derry picked up useful
away. Dundalk went one better winning 2-1 in Sligo after getting a great
start with 2 goals in the first 8 minutes. Both the Bohs v Shels and Cork v
Derry games were absolute crackers with everything but goals.
Galway crashed 3-0 to Shamrock Rovers in Dublin and are now deeper in the
rlegation quagmire. They're not a bad side but the standard of premier
division football is very high this year.

Limerick earned a point in Waterford to stay top as Cobh drew 0-0 at home to
Kilkenny. Finn Harps gained a little ground defeating Longford who have
now lost 2 in a row after doing so well early on.
In the premier division Derry who had serious goalscoring problems hit Drogheda
for 7 to go top on goal difference. Cork had a great win at the RDS while
Sligo deserve credit. They trailed Bray 1-0 had Denis Bonner sent off but
came back to snatch a smash and grab second half win to ease their relegation
worries.
Jumbo Brennan scored a priceless goal for Galway to earn 2 points v Athlone.

Since Gary is probably in Istanbul quaffing the local liquor, here is a
stab at last Sunday's results.
Dundalk always manage to come back. Bohs beat Bray with goals from
Douglas and Lawless. Bohs play Derry, Shels and Dundalk in the next
three weeks and on current form could do ROvers a good turn -:)
<<<< WIse words indeed! Following these great feats I forecast that
Bohs will lose at home Vs Galway next weekend. There's still the
sheep & horse brigade to play in the RDS on Sunday week.
The leage is wide open with mid table teams such as Bohs and Cork
cvapable of beating the top teams. This is in contrast to previous
years. At this stage Derry look the most consistent team in the
League...with Bohs (before next week!) not far behind -:)

Cork demolished Dundalk 4-0 as they reaffirmed the fact that they're back in
the title race. Dundalk's Paul Brady was sent off in the first half when they
trailed 1-0. Morley, Caulfield 2 and Mellon inflicted Dundalk's heaviest
defeat of the season.
Shels and Derry both won away although Shels had the easier game. Rutherford 2
and Whelan demolished Drogheda while a 66th minute strike from Paul Curran
enabled Derry to take full points from a difficult trip to Athlone.
Shamrock Rovers had an excellent win in Sligo despite having Martin Lawlor
sent off. Sligo peppered the home goal but failed to penetrate a strong
defence.
Limerick stay top in the first division after a good home win over Wateford.
Cobh keep pace and the gap has increased on the faltering chasing pack.

The big story of the weekend was the decision of the GAA Central council to
cancel the game fixed for next Sunday between Dublin and Down. This was
scheduled to take place at the RDS after the Shamrock Rovers v Bohemians
League of Ireland clash and tickets were already on sale and selling like
hotcakes. The GAA had already given permission but reversed the decision
after Down expressed reservations. This has been a great victory for the
bigots in the organisation but a massive blow to the credibility of the GAA.
Irish times GAA correspodent Paddy Downey called it the blackest dayy in the
association's history although I can think of better examples of their
bigotry.
It's also a major blow to the local GAA club who organised the event. They
stand to lose thousands of pounds and have missed an opportunity to promote
their games in South Dublin where the GAA is virtually non existent.
Virtually all the callers to an RTE sports programme yesterday condemned the
GAA and many vowed never to go to a GAA game again.
Meanwhile the GAA announced plans for a pop concert in Croke Park next June.

| Bohs beat the southside sheep shaggers in the RDS 3-1 yesterday.
Dare I say it but they are beginning to look like possible contenders
for the title on current form. Galway are even deeper in trouble after
losing 2-1 t home yesterday Vs fellow strugglers Drogheda. It's a
mystery to me how the game in Galway was played at all as the city was
engulfed in a blanket of fog. With Drogheda leading at half time the
ref probably was afraid to call the game off. Derry dropped a point so
Shels stay top.

Limerick went 2 points clear at the top of the league yesterday with an
unconvincing victory of St. James's Gate. This game will be remember for the
brilliant displays of goalkeeping from John Grace of Limerick and Tommy Tasker
of the Gate. Sam Allardyce scored the only goal on 75 minutes. The Gate have
only scored twice in their 11 league games but they played well yesterday and
were unfortunate to lose. With Cobh crashing 3-0 at UCD Limerick are in a
very strong position and look odds on for promotion.
In the premier division Bohemians won again. They outplayed Shamrock Rovers
with a very convincing display before a large crowd at the RDS. Most people
(myself included) wrote off Bohs earlier in the season but now they look like
title challengers and could force many of us to eat our words. Derry were held
to a draw by a depleted Pats side.
Galway lost at home to Drogheda and are now in serious trouble. Division 1
beckons.

Limerick earned 2 vital points yesterday with a hard earned win in Cobh.
Tommy Fitzgerald and Johnny Walsh scored the goal with Paul Newe replying.
Michael Kerley was man of the match but was unjustly sent off with 13 minutes
remaining. The league table couldn't be much better for a Limerick fan this
Christmas. Let's hope it looks the same in April.
In the premier division Shelbourne and Derry had very impressive away wins.
Derry scored 3 first half goals to comfortably dispose of Bray while Shels
lost an early goal in Sligo but won easily in the end.
Bohs won the match of the day ending Cork's long unbeaten run thanks to a
Pat Fenlon penalty. Mike Mellon had just equaklised Fran Hitchcock's opener.
City have keeper Phil Harrington to thank for keeping the score down.
Athlone threw away a 2-0 lead v Shamrock Rovers. Conor Frawley headed into
his own net to give overs a point after Athlone dominated the match.
Galway snatched a point at Pats thanks to Jumbo Brennan while Drogheda
outplayed Dundalk but after getting what looked to be a late winner they
promptly gifted an equaliser to their local rivals.
Finally congrats to St James's Gate who finally won a match. They came from
behind to defeat Kilkenny.

Limerick extended their unbeaten record to 11 games yesterday however the only
people pleased with the result were the Home Farm players and supporters. A
disasterous mixup between Sam Allardyce and John Grace gifted Farm an early
lead and somehow thy survived constant pressure for the next 25 minutes
before Tommy Fitzgerald slid in the equaliser. In the second half Limerick
again dominated but lacked imagination and for all their pressure a goal didn't
look likely until the referee took pity and awarded Limerick a late penalty.
Apparently it was for handball however Barry Ryan completed a miserable
afternoon by rolling the penalty into the keeper's arms. With virtually the
last kick of the game Farm seemed to have snatched a sensational winner
however the linesman flagged for offside. This appears to have been a very bad
decision and Farm felt cheated.
In the premier division Derry won the battle of the top two. This was the
best game seen at the Brandywell for years. Derry led 1-0 at the break but
Shels dominated the 2nd half. Bobby Browne equalised and Padraid Dully made
it 2-1 on 78 minutes. Shels continued to pour forward and Donal O'Brien
snatched an equaliser for Derry. Paul Mooney then struck a glorious winner.
Drogheda had a very vey sweet victory over Shamrock Rovers. At the start of
the season Drogheda signed Harry Kenny from Rovers. The tribunal set a fee of
�4,000 however Drogheda were in severe financial difficulty and asked Rovers
to wait a few weeks. Rovers complained to the League and Drogheda had a point
deducted. Paul McLaughlin scored the only goal yesterday as they gained
revenge.
Bohs and Cork dropped home points against relegation candidates Athlone and
Sligo.

Limerick are now 4 points clear at the top after a great 3-0 win at Ballybofey.
I managed to resist the temptation to visit the wilds of Donegal in January
so I've only got the barest details but apparently the victory was well
deserved. Cbh only drew at home although UCD moved into 3rd place with a 5-1
hammering of Longford.
In the premier division Derry stay 1 point clear after getting a hard earned
point in Sligo. This was a thrilling 2-2 draw. Shels could only manage a 1-1
draw at home to Galway which enabled Dundalk to make ground. Dundalk meet the
top 2 in the next 2 weeks.
Athlone and Galway have now edged a little closer to Bray after both earned
valuable points.

Michael Kerley had been holding the Limerick defence together for the past
couple of months. When I heard he was suspended for yesterday's game I feared
the worst. Within 13 minutes my fear was totally justified. Sam Allardyce and
Kevin Power were terribly exposed as UCD raced into a 2-0 lead that they never
looked like losing. True Limerick did dominate the remainder of the game but
UCD defended well and apart from an horrendous late own goal they were rarely
in trouble. UCD are the best side we've played this season. We were very
fortunate to beat them at Belfield and they look a good bet for promotion.
Thankfully Cobh continued their recent poor run. We're still 4 points clear
at the top and should get promotion.
In the premier division Dundalk and Derry shared the spoils in a great game at
Oriel Park. Kearney gave Derry a first half lead with McNulty equalising
early in the 2nd half. Shamrock Rovers lost their 4th home game in a row
and are destined for mid table obscurity. Shels were clearly the better
side throughout. Athlone stole a point at home to Drogheda are being outplayed
for 90 minutes while Bray had 2 sent off in losing 2-0 to Cork.
The performance of the day however was here in Galway where the home side
crushed Sligo 5-1. Apparently the game drew the largest crowd in years to
Terryland. There had been appeals in the local papers all week for the 12,000
fans who travelled to Dublin for the cup final to come out and support the side
in their desperate bid to avoid relegation. The crowd came out and the
players obviously responded. Sligo actually won the corresponding fixture
in October by the same scoreline.

| Gary,
I hope Limerick get promoted and then you might start reporting about
what's going on in the Premier Division instead of bleak encounters at
Monahgan, Longford and Belfield.
News this morning is that Sligo have released MIck Byrne, Dennis Bonner
and Mark Gill. I saw Sligo play Bohs and Bonner was outstanding -
maybe not last Sunday in Galway -:) I couldn't believe how bad Mick Byrne was
and his transfer doesn't surprise me. Galway are now in with a
realistic chance of survival - signing Bonner would be greatly enhance
their chances.
The other interesting development this season is the growing success of
Friday night soccer. I couldn't believe the crowd at the Bohs-SLigo
Friday night game and apparently Shels are quitye successfule with this
also. If Galway played on Fridays under lights I am sure they would
profit likewise.

A rare premier division report follows.
I was at Shels v Dundalk on Friday night. This was a cracking game watched
by a crowd of over 6,000. Shels had marginally the better of the first half
however Dundalk's rock solid defence stood firm. Peter Hanrahan gave the
bordermen an undeserved lead early in the second half after good work from
Tom McNulty. Shels wdidn't lose faith in their passing game and were duly
rewared on 63 minutes when Mick Neville equalised with a fierce shot. Alan
O'Neill will be disappointed that he left it slip through his grasp. Shels
dominated the last quarer however James Coll and Ronnie Murphy were outstanding
in the centre of defence and Shelley and Mackey also impressed. Dully
was a welcome addition to the Shels attack in the second half however they
still looked a little lightweight up front.
Derry stay top after a hardfought 1-0 win over Galway. New striker Jeremy
Smith strucka second half winner. Galway's good run is over but they won't
have a tougher game between now and the end of the season.
Bohs and Cork had very impessive away wins and the top 3 can't afford to slip
up.
Athlone had their 2nd win of the seson yesterday and loved to within a point
of Bray and Sligo.
The big game of the weekend was of course at Abbeycarton. :-) :-) Longford
having lost 5 in a row stopped the rot with a draw v Limerick. This was
not one of Limerick's better performances. Kevin Power had a nightmare in
defence and gifted Kevin Casidy the opening goal on 5 minutes. Limerick
dominated the remainder of the half without really threatening until Barry Ryan
scrambled home an equaliser right on half time. Limerick had 3 great chances
early in the second half but Longford gradually came into the game and could
have won it near the end. A draw was a fair result. UCD moved into a clear
2nd place with a home draw v Waterford. Waterford should have won it in the
2nd half. Cobh continue to falter. they lost a half time lead and both points
at home to Finn Harps.

Leinster Cup final Athlone 0 St. Francis 0
Athlone held out against the non league side who dominated the game.
Town lost keeper Josh Moran at half time. The replay is next
Wednesday. The crowd was almost 5,000 which is very healthy (about
4,995 supporting Francis :-) ).

| 11.87 | Teh order of the boot | ESSB::SONEILL | | Mon Jan 27 1992 11:29 | 48 |
| Derry maintained their title challenge with a somewhat fortunate 2-1
victory over Bohs at Dalymount yesterday. The only highlight of a
listless first half was John Mannion kicking everything except
the ball. It eventually backfired as he bundled Joe Lawless over the
sideline - Joe seeing his chance ploughed into Ray Coyle on the Derry
bench with an elbow Mick Lyons would be proud of. For a fleeting
moment a GAA style fracas seemed likely - but then soccer is different.
I don't know if it was the bumpy pitch following the early morning
frost or the standard of refereeing, but the first half was atrocious.
The linesmen were even worse and both teams were affected in the
confusion. (This appears to be a common problem with Galway also being
the victims of a dodgy decision yesterday.)
The game came alive 6 minutes into the second half as Joe Lawless poked
home the lead goal following a goalmouth scramble. The lead was short
lived as Derry's hired hand from Wigan Jeremy Smith neatly directed a
superb Joe Hanrahan cross wide of Grace in the Bohemians goal.Smith was
eventually substituted. Derry took the lead a few minutes later as
Alan Byrne, Bohs outstanding player, conceded a dubious penatly. GRace
was unlucky - pushing Gauld's shot in off the post.
The remainder of the half was dominated by Bohs and Derry's long
clearances high into the terraces. Ray COyle's side may not have the
flair associated with Derry team's in the last, but they are effective.
John Mannion entirely snuffed out the threat of Pat Fenlon, the
centre backs were solid and Dermot O'Neill commanded his "home" penalty
area. Bohs' best chances fell to Tilson who was also denied a penalty
in the closing minutes.
A final word on the refereeing - it was atrocious. I lost count but
about 7 players were booked, some for fair hard challenges inm a touigh
game - 2 from Bohs and 5 from Derry. And do LOI linesmen not realise
that offside applies when the ball is delivered, not received.
Shels for the league, although Bohs stand a better chance if doing
damage at Tolka next Friday than yesterday.
Shels won again (2-1 Vs athlone). Dundalk dropped another point at
Rovers and it's looking increasingly like a 2 horse race. Bray beat
Drogheda 1-0, COrk beat Galway 2-1 , and SLigo drew 0-0 with Pats.
Tony Mannion was appointed Galway manager - he will do well to keep
them up as they are now 4 points adrift of the "safety" position.

| Bohs beat Pats 2-1 at Dalymount last night with goals from Tilson and
Lawless. Mark Ennis scored for Pats. Bad result fir Shels as it still
keeps Bohs in the hunt for a EUro spot - should be a cracker on Firday
night.
Pat Fenlon (Bohs) and Tony McCarthy (Shels) were named in the Ireland
"B" squad by Jack Charlton. Another interesting addition is Eddie
McGoldrick of Crystal Palace who is apparently being considered for
central defence. Eddie's parents hail from Dublin.

Limerick are now virtually certain to be promoted back where we belong.
A 2-0 win over St. James's Gate coupled with Cobh's victory over UCD leaves
Limerick 5 points clear of Cobh and 8 clear of 3rd placed UCD. Tommy
Fitzgerald and Marcus Tuite scored the goals. Marcus has just retirned on loan
from Bohemians. In 2 weeks time Limerick entertain Cobh Ramblers and victory
there would probably seal it.
In the premier division Shels had a hard earned victory at Harolds Cross and
now have a3 point lead at the top. Derry crashed in Drogheda to their 2nd
successive defeat and with a tricky cup tie in sligo next week their season is
in danger of falling apart.
Dundalk pulled off another Houdini attack to steal the points from Bohs while
Cork continue their winning run and may still get a European place.
At the bottom Galway gave themselves a glimmer of hope with a victory in
Athlone. johnny Morris Burke scored the only goal against his old club.
Bray pulled off a smash and grab victory in Sligo.

There were quite a few surprises this weekend. The only thing that wasn't a
surprise was RTE messing up the scores. They reported that Sligo beat Derry
and that Longford beat Drogheda and also got the score wrong in the
UCD game. After last season's debacle when they incorrectly kept giving
Athlone's 2-1 home defeat v sligo as a victory for Athlone I thought it
would be a long time before those inept morons would mess up again. I wish
they'd go back on strike again.
Anyway Limerick got over a difficult tie v Pegasus thanks to a 46th minute
Tommy Fitzgerald goal. Pegasus's cl;aims that he was miles offside and totally
without foundation. He was definitely no more than 10 yards offside but the
linesman was caught on the turn and the referee failed to overrule. It
was the other linesman who failed to notice that Limerick "scored" in the
first half but claimed the ball didn't cross the line. Pegasus also had a goal
chalked off for offside which was marginal to say the least. It was a very
even game and both sides had chances. a draw would probably have been a
fairer result. Not too many UCD graduates made the journey up to Dalymount
to watch the game and maybe they would have been better off playing on the
Southside.
While Pegasus did the Leinster League proud on Saturday night Wayside Celtic
dumped Waterford out of the cup at Kilcohan yesterday. A 10th minute
goal was stoutly defended. The corner count of 28-0 in Waterford's favour
suggests that they dominated much of the game however this should not detract
from an excellent win for the non leaguers.
9 man Fanad knocked out Home Farm at Whitehall however given the scalps that
Fanad hve captured in recent years this wasn't really a shock. They took
an early 2-0 lead through George Grier and despite having 2 p[layers sent off
early in the second half they survived to go into the draw for the next round.
Pats beat Shamrock Rovers in the big match in Dublin while Derry needed a
late equaliser to earn a replay in Sligo on Thursday.
The dream result for Limerick fans was of course Cobh 0 Monaghan 0. This means
that Ramblers have to make the long journey to Monaghan on Thursday before
facing us in a vital league game next weekend.

When (and it's surely when now rather than if) Limerick clinch the firsy
division title they will look back on yesterday as a watershed. Nearest
rivals Cobh Ramblers travelled to Rathbane and despite only finishing with
10 men they were disappointed to hear the final whistle. The result should
ensure both sides get promotion. Cobh had played the better football
throughout and had always looked dangerous. Darren Fenton hit the inside of
the post after 30 minutes with the ball going wide of the other post. Finally
the home defence was breached by Paul Newe just before half time. On the
stroke of half time Barry Ryan stumbled in the box after a challenge from
a Cobh defender. After a long pause Gerry McGrath gave a penalty. This
was hotly disputed. Never far from controversy McGrath order Tommy Fitzgerald
to retake the kick after he scored apparently for encroachment although
possible for his Aldridge like shuffle. Cheesewright saved the resultant
kick after Marcus Tuite ran (for the first and last time in the game) in to
blaze the rebound over the bar from 4 yards.
Cobh should have made the game safe in the second half but again missed
chances and Barry Ryan capitalised on a defensive mixup to score an
equaliser. For once Limerick looked like winners and in the ensuing minutes
should have won the game. Niall O'Rourke was sent off with 15 minutes left
foe elbowing Dave Wall but it was Cobh who again missed the best chances.
They hit the inside of the post and the rebound was only rolled goalwards
for Ian Hill to clear off the line.
Inthe premier division Shels are now 4 points clear. Derry needed 2 late goals
to natch a point v Athlone. Galway continued their recent good run with a
fine victory over Bohemians who will now turn all their attention to the cup.
Dundalk's 1-1 draw with Cork ends the hopes of both sides.

Limerick took another step closer to the first division title with a hard
earned point at Whitehall. This was not a game for the purist however both
sides were totally committed. Limerick should have won having dominated much
of the game. A series of gilt edged chances (mainly in the first half) were
missed. The Farm full back made 2 desperate goal=line clearances.
One interested spectator at the game was Oldham manager Joe Royle. He was
obviously watching our impressive sweeper Michael Kerley having just sold Earl
Barrett to Aston Villa. Michael has been outstanding all season although he
didn't have a great game yesterday. The game was spoiled by the a
diabolical display of refereeing from Noel Foley of sligo.
Shels now look certanties for the title having comfortably disposed of a feeble
Bray challenge. Derry crashed 2-1 at Pats despite taking a first half lead
through Paul Carlyle.
Cork defeated Sligo 2-0 to join Derry in 2nd spot and look a good bet for
Europe.
Galway are now in big trouble after yesterday's defeat in Drogheda. Denis
Cunningham scored the goal which could keep the Boynesiders in the premier
division. Athlone had an excellent if hard fought victory v Dundalk to come off
the bottom.
UEFA U16 qualifier Ireland 2 Wales 0 (Ireland win 2-1 on aggregate and qualify
for the finals in Cyprus).
I was at this game on Friday night in Tolka. It was totally dominated by
a very impressive Irish side. All the Welsh side have been snapped up by
football league clubs yet the Irish are still playing for local sides. Apart
from the impressive Watkins in goal Wales were outclassed and the budding
Southall kept the score respectable. Kennedy of Belvedere (a name for the
future) scored early on and Garert Ryan of Ballynanty scored a superb winner
early in the second half. The defence wasn't tested but the rest of the
outfield players impressed and give great hope for the future.

Shelbourne 1 Arsenal 1
Shels drew 1-1 with Arsenal last night. Dessie Gorman gave Shels the
lead but Arsenal equalised through Alan Smith within 30 seconds.
According to RTE Radio Shels were well worth the draw but fielded a
weakened side due to Sunday's cup tie at the Brandywell.

F.A.I. Cup
Moyle Park 1 Limerick 2
Limerick survived a stiff examination from the Leinster League side before
clinching a � final place. City had a dream start when a defsive mixup allowed
Ian Hill to score after 40 seconds. A poor throw by keeper Rowland Duggan
allowed Tommy Fitzgewrald in to make it 2-0 after 15 minute and a cricket score
looked likely. Moyle Park settled down, gradully came back into the game and
pulled one back through Ivor Condran just before half time. Moyle Park had
most of the play in the second half without ever really threatening our 5
man defence.
Derry 0 Shelbourne 1
Gary Haylock scored thevital goal on 64 minutetogive Shels a fullymerited
victory. Theydominated thegame and silenced the large contingent of home
fans.
Drogheda 1 Cork 1
Drogheda got out of jail with a lateBrogan equaliser. corkhad led through
an early Paul Bannon goal and missed countless chances before conceding the
late equaliser.
St Pats 2 UCD 1
Wayside Celtic 2 Monaghan 2
2 late goals earned Wayside a replay they fully deserved.
St James's Gate 1 Fanad 1
Bray 1 Galway 0
The 0-0 banker actually produced a goal with Mck Doohan heading Bray into
the quarter finals.
Dundalk 0 Bohemians 2
Bohs were well worth this victory as they outclassed their aging opponents.
Dave Tilson scored both goals to keep the Northsider's season alive.

Cup draw
Bohemians v Shelbourne
St Pats v Bray
St James's Gate/Fanad v Monaghan/Wayside
Cork/Drogheda v Limerick
Terrible draw fir us. With only 4 teams left in the hat itwaslooking
good but the 2 minnows came out together (OK 2 0f the 3 minnows :-) )
Bohs v Shels is the tie of the round should be a cracker.
Cork should beat Drogheda and to be honest I don't fancy our chances at
all but you never know in the cup. Even if Drogheda were to pull off a
shock we have a terrible record at United Park.

Bosco Gallagher will never forget yesterday's game at Rathbane. He made some
stunning saves but gifted Limerick a soft lead goal and was partially
responsible for the other goal which was almost a soft. A harmless backpass
somehow slipped through Bosco's legs and just over the line to his absolute
horror after 15 minutes. Harps came back and hit the inside of the post and
could have equalied before a bad back pass and a sleeping keeper allowed
Barry Ryan to make it 2. In between Bosco dived full length to tip over a
rasping shot from Alan Shanahan and he was equal to everything Limerick
threw at him in the second half as his defence was AWOL. This was never a
classic but the better of 2 poor teams won comfortably in the end. We
could even clinch promotion tomorrow by winning at UCD but more than likely
we'll clinch it next Sunday at home v Longford. The title should follow
shortly afterwards.
Shelsa re Derry both slipped up in the premier as Cork continued their
winning run with a Paul Bannon goal defeating Bohemians. Should Derry beat
Shels tomorrow the league will be opened up with Cork facing the Reds at
Tolka on the last day of the season.
Limerick referee John Barry and his linesman are the toast of Galway thanks
to their disgraceful decision to allow Stephen Lally's late winner v Pats.
The linesman flagged for offside (apparently he was miles offside according to
papers and radio) and then took his flag down. The Pats players and supporters
were said to be furious.
Ray Treacy finally won a match as Rovers defeated Athlone thanks to a late
late winner.
Full series of games tomorrow but no reports as I'll be slaving away in here
with a deadline for Friday.

| 11.111 | good job I was too busy to go to Belfield | GALVIA::SPAIN | There's always the U.S. | Tue Mar 17 1992 18:43 | 74 |
|
I thought UCD were the best team I've seen in division 1 this year. We had a
very lucky win at Belfield in November and they beat us at Rathbane. Thankfully
I missed today's 4-0 drubbing. At least their manager Tony O'Neill was very
gracious in victory saying we were still the best team in the league and
certanties for the title. We are of course. Even Limerick couldn't blow
a 5 point lead with 4 matches left...... could we..........
It's really hotting up behind us with Cobh losing a half time lead and they
now lead Waterford and UCD by 1 point. Given good pitches and average luck
UCD could now be promoted although naturally I'd like to see one of our
Munster rivals join us in the premier division - preferably Waterford.
It wasn't a good day for league leaders. Shelbourne had 2 sent off in
crashing 5-0 at home to Derry. Derry are 4 points back with 4 games left.
Cork were drawing 2-2 at Athlone with 20 minutes left (Cork were 2 up) and
if they could snatch a winner they'd be 3 points back and meet Shels in the
last game.
Galway did themselves a huge favour by beating Bray. They moved up 2 places
and out of the bottom 2 for the first time this season. Shels won't fancy
their trip to Terryland on Sunday.

| 11.114 | Sending offs? | ESSB::SONEILL | | Wed Mar 18 1992 14:54 | 9 |
| Following yesterday's fun at Tolka Park in which Jodi Byrne was sent
off after 27 seconds and Anto WHelan after 43 mins, these players may
be suspended for the CUp game Vs Bohs. WIll they be available on
SUnday for the Galway game or are their suspensions automatic?
Is 27 seconds after kick-off a record for a sending off in the LOI? Is
it a record for a keeper worldwide?

A Word of thanks Gary for some excellant journalism in this note
for the season.I have been at most of Shelbourne home games this
season but didn,t get much chance of reporting in this topic.
I was at the fiasco in Tolka park on paddy,s day .I arrived
about two minutes after kick-off and missed the most controversial
incident with Jodi Byrne.I was in the shels end so obviously they
thought it was a disgrace .I cant comment.The second sending off
was a disgrace ,also the referee booked four other players.
Shelbourne dominated this game ,believe it or not ,and were unlucky
not to score a couple.There was great crack in the bar afterwards
despite getting beaten 5-0.Everyone was on tenderhooks watching the
two televisions with aertel showing athlone 2 cork 2 ,when a little
fellow in the corner with his walkman shouted that athlone had scored
a third .Everyone cheered but aertel still showed 2-2.This little
fellow started to get annoyed when noone belived him as the tele was
still showing the draw.He eventually got pi@@ed off ,stood up on his
stool and shouted "I bet anyone ten pints of guinness that athlone won
3-2".Everyone went very quiet but noone took his bet.We had to wait
until after the 7 oclock news to get confirmation. The little geezer
had a smug smile still on his face when I left at about half eight.
Aertel is proably still showing 2-2.
I still think Shels will win the title and I hope Limerick win the
1st div a my mate Gracer is the keeper(i havent seen him since paddys
day ,but i must slag the arse off him 4-0)
cheers

What are Galway's remaining games in the League ? It is incredibly
tight at the bottom. Looks likes goal difference could be key.
Could be a cracker in Terryland on Sunday. Fancy Galway if those
suspensions come through for Sunday. Shels could appeal, but
they might want to save it for what they might consider a
more important game ... v da Boezzz in da cup Shane !!!

Re Shels, Paddys day could well be the day they won the league title
despite the 5-0 hammering. Had Cork held their 2-0 lead the pressure
could have been too much. Shels deserve success and I hope they do win
the league and finish runners up to us in the cup final.
Liam if you want to slag Gracer ask him about the goal Quinlavin (the
Waterford keeper) scored against him in the shield.

All the bottom teams are getting good results these days.
I will chance my arm and predict that United will draw or better against

Limerick clinched promotion yesterday after a hard fought victory over
Longford. We're 6 points ahead of 3rd placed Waterford and 5 ahead of Cobh
and as these two meet next Sunday both sides cannot now catch us. Needless
to say we didn't do things the easy way. Tommy Fitzgerald scored after 20
seconds and when Barry Ryan made it 2 after 10 minutes a cricket score looked
likely. Longford got a soft goal within a minute but minutes later Tommy
Fitz made it 3-1. The visitors then had Robbie Flanagan sent off and Limerick
proceeded to miss numerous gilt edged chances as they put Longford under siege.
In the opening minute of the 2nd half Barry Ryan missed another sitter and
Longford promotly went up and got a goal back. With Waterford 3 up on UCD
promotion had seemed certain but now the jitters set in among the fans.
Limerick still dominated but Longford had a couple of dangerous breaks.
Thankfully Barry Ryan scored his second goal with 10 minutes left to relieve
the tension. Weshould also clinch the championship but the main thing is
we're back in the premier division.
Shelbourne showed the class of true champions by hammering 5 past Galway
yesterday to all but clinch the title. Derry got 3 late goals to beat Sligo
but they'll be happy with the UEFA spot as Cork slipped up again. At the
bottom it is still really tight with Bray earning a vital point in Dundalk.
Despite losing in Derry Sligo move up a place due to Galway's hammering.

Cork beat Drogheda 3-1 but their cup hopes end next Sunday v Limerick.
Teams meet 3 times a season.
2 up 2 down, goal difference can decide promotion/relegation but not
the title. This means a team can be first division champions but miss
out on promotion.

Gary thanks for the info. I thought they played each other three times
the question is where do they play the third game???? and who decides
which of the teams you play where??? seems like a strange system.
Robin it would be good to see Cork in europe again next season, but
I can't see Bayern Munich making it!!!!!

forgot to mention St James Gate beat Fanad 3-2 on tuesday. Gate were

promtly saved it, Gate equalised and won it in extra time. Assuming
they left fanad straight after the game they should be arriving back

F.A.I. Cup quarter finals
Bohemians 1 Shelbourne 1
Cork City 2 Limerick 0
St James's Gate 2 Monaghan 1
St Pats 1 Bray 0
Limerick made their exit from the cup yesterday after a brave performance in
Cork. The more experienced and physically stronger Cork side won out in the
end but it was Limerick who played all the football. Tommy Fitzgerald
mised a glorious opportunity after 5 minutes shooting wide when clear on goal.
Johnny Walsh then volleyed over from a good position and a shock really looked
on as Cork were back on their heels. Dave Barry was booked for a disgraceful
over the ball tackle on Mike Kerley and how Mick Conroy wasn't sent off defies
logic. Alan Delgarno was carried off with a suspected broken leg as the thug
did him with a late tackle. He proceed to elbow kick and intimidate Limerick
players for the entire 90 minutes and the referee did nothing except speak to
him. He should be packed off back to Scotland on the next plane. A minute
before half time disaster struck when Cork scored with their first real
chance. a cross from the right fell to Dave Barry and he made no mistake
from 12 yards. Barry had looked only a shadow of his former self as he
was slow and ponderous however his goal was priceless.
This was the turning point. cork improved considerably after the break and
while Limerick had chances to equalise Cork always looked likely winners.
Cormac Cotter made the game safe with 15 minutes left and Cork could have had
a couple more. The man of the match was undoubtedly Cork keeper Alec Ludzic.
He was pressed into service at the ripe old age of 42 when Phil Harrington
failed a fitness test and he turned the clock back with a brilliant display
of goalkeeping, denying us at every turn particularly in the first half.
The biggest joke of all were the gate receipts - only �6,000
for a crowd in the region of 5,000. This brought howls of laughter from
the home and viiting fans alike. We left Turners Cross feeling mugged both on
and off the field.
Bohs and Shels must meet again after a 1-1 draw at Dalyer. It appears to have
been the right result with Bohs in charge in the first half but Shels coming
back after the break.
Pats and St James's Gate had good home wins in the other ties.
In the league Dundalk handed the title to Shelbourne by winning in Derry.
Shels need a point to be sure but they are sure of at least a playoff.
Galway are now in dire trouble after crashing 3-0 in sligo while Athlone won
in Drogheda despite losing Colm Philips in the first half for deliberate
handball in the box. Shane Curran saved John Toal's penalty kick and they
held out despite fierce second half pressure. John Toal and Rod de Khors
also got their marching orders late on.

Due to other plans I didn't get to see any football this weekend apart
from Dundalk v Shels on TV.
Shelbourne duly clinched the title with a comfortable 3-1 win. They
thoroughly deserved it. They have developed their ground to be the best in
the league. They play an attractive passing game and few will begrudge them
their first title in 30 years.
Limerick also clinched the first division championship albeit with a 1-1
home draw v Kilkenny.
It's still very tight at the bottom but Galway's home draw v Derry looks set
to send them into division 1.

Bray had a vital victory yesterday that should ensure their survival. After
a dull first half the game sprung to life when Declan Daly of Cork was sent
off. Paul Bannon then gave them the lead but 2 goals in 2 minutes snatched
the game for Bray and virtually ended Cork's hopes of the UEFA spot. Derry
should clinch the runners up spot on Saturday with at least a point at home to
Shamrock Rovers.
Athlone are now warm favourites for the drop as they must travel to face St
Pats. A victory is probably needed. Bray need a point at home to Bohs to
survive, Drogheda need a point at home to Sligo while Sligop must win to be
sure. Galway need a miracle.
Bohs won a meaningless game v Pats but this may have been a cup final rehersal.

No details as Monaghan on a Thursday aternoon isn't very appealing.
Great win for Limerick though as from sspeaking to people from home we
were only sending up a scratch side. I suspect Monaghan did not bring
up some of their Dublin players.

Pascal Keane is thte toast of Waterford after snatching promotion with a last
gasp equaliser v Limerick. As eevents transpired in the following 30 minutes
his goal was unnecessary but he wasn't to know and the enws of a Waterford
defeat may have been sufficient to spur UCD on in the last half hour.
Waterford's decision to kick off 30 minutes early could have backfired.

Rovers were well beaten by a superior side. Utrecht scored twice in
the opening 15 minutes and played keep ball from there on. Rovers
dismal form continues and the crowd was only 1,000 which was their
lowest of the season.

Bohemians 1 Cork City 0
Dave Tilson is the toast of Phibsboro after a winning the cup for Bohs
with a 75th minute goal. Bohs were the better team in the firt half
but failed to take their chances. tilson missed after 2 minutes when
clean through.
Cork took over in the first part of the 2nd half and the Bohs goal led
a charmed life for a while with Connolly have a nightmare in goal.
Whelan and Best were outstanding in central defence and deserve much of
the credit for the win. Bohs gradually came back into it.
With 15 minutes left and most people settling for a replay Connolly
missed another cross, the ball went across the goal and 3 Cork players
failed to turn it in. The clearance fell to Byrne who sent Tilson
through and he didn't waste his second chance.
Over the 90 minutes Bohs deserved it. cork didn't play and have yet
again managed to bottle it on the big occasion. For my mate Tim who is
a Cork and Man Utd fan it was not a good season. He took it so badly I
didn't ahve the heart to slag him. Not a great game but the highlight
was definitely Limerick City being awarded the Fair Play award at half
time and a cheque for �1,000. It was the only time I cheered all day
much to the amusement of the City fans nearby.

Limerick weren't playing! We could have met for that pint!
A great day for the BOHS, even if it wasn't a great match. We
celebrated into the early hours in Dalymount. A few unscheduled half
days were taken this morning!
This means of course that two Northside Dublin clubs have won the

This fact was not lost on the supporters...to the tune of 'Always look

Re -1,
Yah Mick, 3 friends of mine from college are all City fans and they
talked me into going up for the weekend. I shouldn't have bothered.
:-) Not much of a game if you're a neutral.
City seemed to have had most of the support which is surprising
considering the 320 mile round trip. Still it takes a lot to get a
Bohs fan to cross the river.

Bohs players end the season with ttwo medals CUp and League
Cup runners up. After radical surgery Eamonn Gregg deserves credit for
promoting young players, no ha-been fourth division drop outs, and
attractive football.
For this Leeds United and Bohs fan it was a very enjoyable season with
the performances of ROvers and Man Utd enhancing the enjoyment.

D Henderson Rovers to Bohs
M Devin Longford to Bohs
J Hanrahan Derry to Dundalk
M Ennis Pats to Derry
P Doolin Rovers to SHels who have signed Gary haylock
Rovers have also signed Martin Bayly, John Toal and Christian Bowes
This transfer activity looks like creating a lob sided league next year
with Bohs, Cork, Derry, Dundalk, Shels and possibly ROvers ahead of the
rest. With 5 of Pats league winning side plus David Henderson in goal
and the troublesome left full position filled Bohs now look like genuine
title contenders.
Sadly Pats are depleted and once again face a battle to stay in business.

-< Mimi report on Westport - Preston N.E. >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xstacy::jlundon and galvia::spain made their collective way upto Westport, Co.
Mayo last evening to have the pleasure of seeing local side Westport United
playing Preston N.E ( 2nd division ). Preston N.E won 1-0. That's about all that
I have to say on the match, other than that PNE were truly poor and were made to
look quite ordinary by a feisty Westport United side, who themselves were very
limited.
Gary and I spent most of the game talking as there was little excitement on the
pitch. The game on before it, an U-12, have the crowd in more of a frenzy
than the main event of the evening.
I was told that Sam Alderdyce(sp?) who managed Limerick City to glory last year
has taken over as manager. What happened to Ian Chapman? Is Sam the new manager?
Does anyone really care? Does anyone in the conference support PNE? Seemingly
not as they would have come out of the woodwork by now!
Personally speaking I won't be putting money on PNE for any honours this season
on last nights performance.
James.

| Gary/James,
Was the ref one Tommy Higgins? He's the m.d. of the Ticketshop at HMV
who have become a customer lately. He was travelling to Mayo yesterday
to ref a match so maybe it was that one. Was he any good? He's a great
character and too nice a bloke to be a ref. ;-)

Peter, it almost certainly was as there were hardly 2 football games in
Mayo on the same night. The ref had a good game anyway. He even
managed to keep awake which was a struggle at times. :-)

| Re:: -.2
Peter,
The Ref. was fairly stocky, mid to late 30's.
About the most memorable thing about the match was half way through the
second half a PNE midfielder broke into the box and was shouldered as well
as an American footballer would take out his opponent. The Ref. was so close
that he was nearly knocked over by the falling player and he didn't even
flinch to give a penalty to PNE. Surprisingly the PNE players didn't argue! No
point I suppose.

Galway and Limerick played out a boring 0-0 draw at Terryland yesterday. The
inept performances by both sets of players was only eclipsed by the ineptness
of referee Noel Foley from Sligo. He cannot be faulted for the result however
as it was obvious from early on that neither side looked capable of scoring.
Limerick had slighly the better of the first half. Galway dominated for
much of the 2nd without really threatening. I'm sure most of the crowd
regretted their decision to go and watch the game rather than stay at
home and watch Nott'm Forest v Liverpool on tv. The only player to emerge
with any credit was a tall Galway midfielder whose name was I think John
Kenny who looked a class above everyone else on the field.
Waterford shocked Cork in Kilcohan. Fanad led Derry 3-1 before losing 4-3.
Drogheda staged a dramatic late fightback scoring twice in the last 2 minutes
to steal a point at Monaghan.

Galway 1 Castlebar Celtic 1
Finn Harps 0 Fanad 1
Good night for the non league sides. While Fanad's win in Ballbofey
was hardly a surprise Castlebar bounced back from a 5-0 drubbing at
Longford to snatch a point at Terryland. I went to the Galway game
last night. Castlebar were worth their draw. Galway scored in the 1st
minute, Nobody saw it. Castlebar had many chances before finally
equalising with 20 minutes left from a Ruane penalty. I didn't see
why it was given. Galway had the misfortune of having anothe rSligo
referee officiate. This guy was as bad as Noel Foley was last Sunday.
He booked a few players from both sides for dissent and sent off John
Brennan of Galway in the last minute for dissent. Career thretening
tackles were punished by a free kick ......sometimes.

Castlebar Celtic brought forward their kickoff to 2pm to avoid clashing
with the game in TV. They have excellent facilities and their bar made
quite a killing as most of the crowd headed for the bar at full time
just in time to see the kick off at Anfield. In fact many fans watched
our game from the bar with one eye on SKY's preview.
Anyway Limerick strolled to a 2-0 win without ever really been tested.
David Minihan scored after 20 minutes following a neat passing move and
Howard King made the game safe early in the second half when he scored
from the goal line after Johnny Walsh hit the inside of the post. King
missed 2 more glorious chances as Castlebar were outclassed. Still we
need to improve a lot if we're going to threaten Derry next Sunday.
Despite the strong temptation to stay in the bar with everyone else I
managed to resist and headed back home and got the second half on TV
results

More details when I have them. Bad crowds all round with Liverpool v
Arsenal proving too much of a counter attraction. Clubs really need
floodlights if we're going to compete with this all season. Channel 4
will also be showing live Italian football.

League Cup update
Shelbourne 2 Bohemians 2
Cork City 0 Cobh Ramblers 1 (played at Cobh)
Shels and Bohs played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at Tolka with Bohs
coming from 2 down to snatch a deserved draw. Shels win the group and
reach the quarter finals. Bohs must play Longofrd to decide who gets
the 8th quarter final place. The other seven are Limerick, Derry,
Sligo,Waterford, St Pats, Drogheda and Shelbourne.
Cork were outplayed by Cobh. This result means that Waterford have won
the group.

Happy days at Limerick. This really makes a change. In the last 3
days we've signed Peter Mumby ex Leeds and Hull, John Smith ex Tranmere
Liverpool, Ken deMange ex Liverpool & Hull and Irish International and
Leonardo Trinchin a 22 year old Argentinian.
I don't know where the money is coming from but I'm not complaining.
First game v Derry on Sunday. We've never beaten them since they came
into the league despite leading them twice in the final minutes of
games. Sunday would be a great time to get our first win.

They're just after discovering oil under the pitch in Rathbane so that should
ease their financial worries ;-). The only thing is that they will need to get
a new pitch :-). Anything has to be better that Rathbane.

Limerick made a good start to the season. They earned a point in an
entertaining scoreless draw at Rathbane. Despite the lack of goals ther was
plenty to keep the large crowd entertained. Derry had most of the play,
particularly in the second half, but they failed to break down a solid home
defence. When they did get through keeper John Grace was in brilliant
form. New signing John Smith impressed at full back while Ken de Mange
wasn't fully fit. Peter Mumby failed to get a decent service up front.
Unfortunately for Limerick the best chance of the game fell to Howard King,
who shot tamely into O'Neill's arms when clear on goal. This woulds have
given Limerick both points but would have been rough justice on Derry.
Limerick's experiment of a 2.30 kick off to avoid the live football on TV
appeared to have worked. For the second week in a row most clubs decided
to compete with the live football although Ipswich v Tottenham is not
as attractive as Liverpool v Arsenal.
Referee's were to the fore in 2 games. Denis McArdle awarded Bohemians a
penalty, apparently for handball on the goal-line. The RTE reporter thought
the ball had been headed clear. The referee failed to send off the Waterford
defender. Pat Fenlon converted the spot kick and Bohs went on to score
5 times without reply. Cork were put to the sword for the first 45 minutes in
Sligo before breaking to score on the stroke of half time. Wilfred Wallace
over-ruled a linesman's flag much to the disgust of the home fans.
Shelbourne made a winning start in defence of their title. They'll be tough
to beat this season. Anto Whelan scored the only goal in Bray.
Longford took the honours in the shield scoring 5 without reply in Athlone.
Galway struggled to a 0-0 draw with Monaghan.

Glad to see that your reporting talents are now also to be read in the
Irish Emigrant every week. Interesting way of deciding the top and
bottom places towards the end of the season. I suppose it should
generate more excitement with the bigger teams - Derry, Bohs, Cork etc
possibly meeting again towards the end in a bid for the title.

European Cup.
Tavria Simferpool 2 Shelbourne 1 (Tavria win 2-1 on aggregate)
Shelbourne bowed out of the European Cup despite a battling performance in
Simferpool. Tavria scored twice in the first 13 minutes but finished the
game hanging on to a slender 1 goal lead. Padraig Dully scored after 41
minutes to give Shelbourne some hope. They laid siege to the Tavria goal
in the last 15 minutes but failed to get the goal required to take them into
the next round. Shelbourne did Irish football proud but yet again our European
representitives bow out in their first game.
A transport strike crippled the Ukraine but they still allowed the charter
flight containing the Shelbourne team, officials and 100 supporters to leave.
It was the only plane allowed in or out of the airport.
League Cup playoff
Bohemians 2 Longford Town 0
Bohemians comfortably dispatched Longford's challenge and thus qualified for
the quarter finals of the League Cup. A Smyth own goal and a 40 yard effort
from Tony O'Connor were enough to secure victory for the home side. Bohs
join Derry City, Sligo, Limerick, Waterford, St. Pats, Drogheda and Shelbourne
in the quarter finals.

Limerick threw a point away at United Park. John Smith gave the Blues a half
time lead. Howard King appeared to make the game safe with a late second goal
but incredibly Drogheda scored twice in the final minute tro snatch a point.
Colm Tresson and Barry O'Connor did the damage.
Shelbourne played some superb football and destroyed Sligo Rovers. Paul
Doolin ran the game. He scored twice in the opening 20 minutes. Gary
Howlett and Padraig Dully were Shel's other scorers.
Bohemians top the table after their second big win. This time they hammered
Cork City 4-1. City were hopelessly outclassed by a Bohs team that proved
their cup final victory was no fluke. Even at this early stage Bohs look
the best bet to challenge Shels for the title.
Derry failed to score for the second week in succession as they drew 0-0
with Bray. St Pats deservedly beat Rovers 1-0 but they had to rely on a
freak Paul Osam goal.

I got to the second-half of the Shels v Sligo game missing the two
first half goals by Doolin but it was a brilliant second half.
Shels ran sligo ragged and Gary Howlett scored a cracker from about
twenty five yards to make it three nil.He has at least one of these
shots,usually from corners ,every game and must have scored six or
seven goals like this last year.Dully made it four by a goal i didn,t
think he was capable of,he rounded the sligo keeper and lifted the ball
into the net ,excellant goal that it was.
Sligo had one clear chance but was saved brilliantly by the not so
brilliant Jodi Byrne.
Shels look very good and almost unbeatable ,with a sound defense with
O,Doherty more then making up for Mc Carthy (who went to millwall in
the close-season),The old head of Mike Neville and the wing-work of
the two full backs Coyle and Brady.Their midfield ,with Doolin and
Howlett,Brown/Costello ,and rutherford look veryhard to beat and
they have a great fight for placs up front with Dully ,Haylock,
Gorman .
I eagerly await the Bohs games ,should be sell-out crowds because
i believe bohsare getting the crowd back.
Next sunday i,ll be at the RDS ,Shamrock Rovers v Shels.
Cheers
Liam
p.s Gary are you going to the Shels V Limerick game (i think it is this
month)

Rathbane was not the place to be today if you wanted to see good football.
Bray Wanderers have always had the reputation of being the Wimbledon of
Irish football but the comparison is not fair to Wimbledon. Bray are totally
committed but their niggling, elbowing and blatant cynicism make good
football very difficult. The better sides such as Shelbourne and Bohemians
generally overcome this but Limerick failed today. this was always
going to be a difficult game for referee Tony Gunning who is in his first
season on the L.O.I. panel. His decision to book Noel King for dissent
after only punishing cynical fouls with a free kick summed up his afternoon.
Ken de Mange was sent off for a Bray style foul in the dying minutes but his
departure made little difference as this game was destined to be scoreless
from the kick off. Bray scored 17 goals in 33 games last season. They have
yet to score this season and I can't see how they will. There was precious
little in the way of good football. Limerick had most of the chances but
didn't deserve to win. Noel King did hit a post but most of the cold and
very wet attendance wished we'd stayed at home to watch Lazio v Fiorentina.
Those who braved the elements at the RDA were rewarded with a 4 goal thriller
as Shamrock Rovers surrenderede a 2-1 lead in injury time. Ken O'Doherty
whose injury time header cost Rovers the cup 8 years ago was the again the
villain when he headed home a last gasp equaliser for Shels. Padraig Dully
had given the Reds an early lead but 2 goals from Derek McGrath had appeared
to give Rovers a much needed win when O'Doherty struck.
Cork's deadly duo of Caulfield and Morley earned them the points at St. Colmans
Park. City controlled much of the game but finished hanging on as Pats got
a late consolation.
Bohemians are top after a second half brace defeated Drogheda. Derry were
involved in their 3rd successive 0-0 draw in Dundalk while Waterford gave
themselves a huge boost by winning in Sligo.
Galway stuffed Harps 3-0 in the shield. Kilkenny beat the Gate while UCD
and Home Farm shared 2 goals at Whitehall.

Re Shels v Rovers
Shels started brightly and threatened to destroy "da roveers" when
Dully got the opener after 4 mins ,They should have made it two or
three straight after but a combination of bad missed and good saves
kept it one-nil until "da roveers" equailised ,This seemed to have a
strange effect on shels and they went to pieces..
Both teams had some good chances in the second half again shelbourne
having the most with rovers having more and more of the posession
and the rovers got their second goal of the season ,when I and many
others thought the scorer was offside.
shels equailised about a minute into extra time when o Doherty headed
in from a corner .
Shamrock rovers proably deserved the two points for their hunger and
good play on the break but shelbourne have real class in their side
( but missed Mick Neville badly in the closing stages) and when you
get points when you shoulnd,t it bodes well for the championship.
This was a dublin derby and near the end, i saw what was the closest
thing i have seen to soccer violence ,in league of ireland football
with both sets of fans taunting each other with venom.Thankfully
cool heads prevailed and it was just alot of hot air.
Bohs and Derry in europe on wednesday ,hopefully one of them advance
to the next round.
Cheers
Liam

Liam, I presume Shels will play on Friday night anyway. The Sligo game
was on Sunday because of the European trip. Still with Dublin in the
All Ireland they're better off playing on Friday night. I think
Friday night football is the answer anyway. There will be live Italian
and premier league football on most Sunday afternoons.
Another draw for Limerick would suit me just fine on Friday.
I probably won't be going to Tolka. It's a 270 mile round trip and
funds are tight as I'm doing a lot of travelling in the next couple of
months. Any chance of a report on Monday?

Bohemians 0 Steau Bucharest 0
Bohs did everything but score at Dalymount last night. They took the
game to their illustrious opponents and the Romanians were glad to hear
the final whistle. Pat Fenlon and Dave Tilson were the stars as Bohs almost
became the first Irish side to win a game in europe since they defeated
Rangers on a memorable september evening in 1984.
Steau fielded 4 of their European Cup final side of 1989 but tehy looked a
shadow of the team that claimed the trophy in 1986 and lost in the 1989 final.
Bohsa re not without hope in the return and if they could nick a goal we could
yet have a famous Irish victory.
Vitesse 3 Derry City 0
Derry failed to register a shot on goal in Arnheim. They did put up a
defensive wall which restricted their Dutch opponents to 2 goals until an
injury time lapse ended their hopes. At 2-0 and with a large crowd in the
Brandywell Derry might have had a chance however the 3rd goal has killed the
tie.

I didn't go to Shelbourne v Limerick but from what I've read and heard
Limerick got a raw deal from referee Tommy Traynor. He's not the most
popular referee at Rathbane. Shels were awarded a distinctly dodgey
penalty after 30 minutes of stalemate. The Irish Times described
the crowd as being ignorant as to why it was awarded. The reasons given
by Limerick officials and supporters are definitely libellous. Anyway
Shels added a 2nd shortly afterwards to lead 2-0 at the break. Ken de Mange
was brilliant in the second half. he pulled a goal back and only the
brilliance of Jody Byrne denied Peter Mumby an equaliser. Padraig Dully
made the game safe in injury time. After the debacle in Drogheda and in Tolka
last Friday the club are apparently going to request that Tommy Traynor never
referees a Limerick game again.
Dublin's involvement in the Gaelic Final played havoc with the fixture list.
All the Dublin clubs switched their kick off times. The added attractions of
Man City v Chelsea and Napoli v Inter meant early and late kick offs. I
chose Napoli v Inter but the punters that went to Harolds Cross were rewarded
with a cracking game. Pats took the lead through a Ray Carolan goal after
a great move. Dave Tilson scored a stunning equaliser and both sides could
have won a thrilling contest. In the end a draw was the right result.
2 Joe Hanrahan goals gave Dundalk a win in the Louth derby. Drogheda missed
a penalty at 1-0 which might have given them a point. Bray had a good home
victory against a sad Sligo team. sligo are really in the doldrums but knowing
our luck they'll stuff Limerick next week.
Cork had the 2nd 3-0 away win. Moley 2 and Glynn scored in the destruction of
Waterford. The Blues were outclassed but did have to play their 3rd choice
keeper due to injury and suspension.
These are the results from week 4 of the league in IRELAND

Sorry gary but i missed the game at tolka park on friday due to
some unforseen business.I spoke to a few mates and they said it was a
poor game and that Gracer had a nightmare ???? he must have been at
fault for one of the goals ?
I was at croker tho and am one of the ones who are fast denying the
fact.what a debacle !!
At least gracer was villian turned hero last night saving a penalty and
then scoring one in the q-finals of the cup.Good win for limerick .
Also "de bohes" got knocked out on peno,s against St Pats who had a
good draw against "de bohes" on sunday in the league.
Cheers

Limerick 0 Waterford 0 (Limerick won 5-4 on pens)
Limerick defeated Waterford on penalties in a very boring game. Kelly
shaved the bar on 6 minutes for the visitors and the rest of the excitement
was reserved for the shoot out. John Grace saved Barry's spot kick and then
took the next one himself to finish as a hero.
Bohemians 0 St Pats 0 (St Pats won 4-2 on pens)
Yet another thrilling League Cup quarter final - not. Bohs fielded 8 reserves
thus making a mockery of the competition. Again the excitement was reserved
for the shoot out with Maurice O'Driscoll missing against his old club.
The other quarter finals will be played over the next 2 weeks.

| Gary,
Bohs had 8 reserves?? 5 of the team had league or FAI cup medals. No harm
having a strong squad to choose from -:) Pats were "understrength"
as well.

Shane, according to the Irish Times Bohs replaced 8 of the team that
played last Sunday. The Pats team looked pretty much full strength to
me.
Looking at the Bohs teamsheet it was very much an understrength team
however as you say it was still quite formidable. Bohs do have a
strong squad. They'll have problems keeping them all happy. Now when
are you going to give us back Tommy Fitz?

| Gregg said it was unfair to ask part-time players to play 4 games in 10
days. This is the reason he rested so many yesterday. I blame the LOI for
asking Bohs to play this week when they could have fitted in the game in
two weeks time. Derry are playing in europe, but they hav'nt been asked to
play this week.

Sligo were managerless and pointless before today. Well they are still
managerless but they earned 2 very valuable points after a fully deserved
victory over a poor Limerick side. This was a gutsy display from the home
side who were greeted by boos and moans and left to resounding cheers. It
was obvious that Sligo's main problem was in scoring goals. They missed 4
gilt edged chances and Aaron Shearer proved that he has only a surname and a
number 9 shirt in common with his namesake at Blackburn. The only goal
came from centre half Denis Bonner who can have hardly played a better game
in his long L.O.I. career. He rose superbly to head home Martin McDonnell's
free kick on 38 minutes. Bonner and Dykes won everything at the back and
Limerick cannot look point to any worthwhile chances created. Sligo's woeful
finishing spared the visitors from an even more embarrassing defeat. Noel
King's booking arrived on 16 minutes and Pierce Walsh followed him into the
book shortly afterwards. Both players were fortunate not to be sent off.
Cork City join Bohemians on top after a comfortable 2-0 victory over
Drogheda. The goals came either side of half time and thanks to some
schoolboy defending. Keeper Campbell kicked the ball off a defender, it
rebounded off Campbell into the net. Campbell then dropped a ball onto Pat
Morley's toe for number 2. He did redeem himself with some superb saves
notably from Johnny Glynn.
Bohs could only draw 0-0 at home to Derry while Shels failed to take
advantage crashing 2-1 at Dundalk. Shamrock Rovers finally came good and
hit Bray for 6. Philip Greene (& white :-)) waxed lyrically on the radio
as Rovers tore Bray apart. Rovers playing well are a joy to watch and
apparently those who were at the RDS were served up a treat.
Galway qualified for the final of the shield by defeating Longford 2-1.
Paul Magee and John Kenny scored second half goals as they came back from
a goal down at Terryland. Home Farm will be their opponents. Farm defeated
Cobh 3-1 after Cobh had 2 players sent off in the first half and referee
Noel Foley gave Farm 2 penalties.

I was at oriel pk on friday night ,why i bothered nobody knows ??
The match started well with the former dundalk player Dessie Gorman
getting an early goal from a lovely sweeping movement involving
about six-eight shels players ,Shels looked like they were on song
but that was it for the night.Dundalk equalised straight after and
controlled the game after that.Shels had the clearer chances on the
break ,Doolin sliding in ,just failing to connect with the ball,
Dully missed a few half-chances but was shels best player on the night
(yes thats how bad they were)Doherty was unlucky when he turned
brilliantly but his shot just went over .Gino lawless scored the
dundalk penalty in the 83th minute and shels couldn,t reply.
Shelbourne looked bad ,no very bad.Was this the same team i saw at
tolka destroying the ukrainians only a couple of weeks ago.
They didn,t even deserve the draw.A couple of old shels supporters
got a laugh when they commented that "last year was just glitch and
now normal service is being resumed ".
Questions must be asked about Mark Rutherford who last year had a great
3/4 of a season but has been dismal this year.Gary Howlett had a
stinker ,Your allowed only one !!!! Gary haylock looked tired and
overweight but still contributed just a little.Bobby"the dazzler"
brown didwell when he came on for Gorman after about ten minutes.
(dessie got a knock early on and was sorely missed)
next tuesday night Drogheda in tolka for the q/finals of the cup
and we need a 100% improvment on this performance if we are not
to suffer the same fate as "da bohs"
Also next saturday "DA Bohs " at tolka in the league,this should be
a cracker(maybe mick fitz will be at this one).
Cheers

Liam,
Mick Fitz will be there...I'll give you a shout during the week.
The Bohs are up against it tonight against Steau Bucharest...winners of the
European Cup in '86 and runners up in '89. Steau are supposed to be in top
form, winning 5-0 against Dynamo Bucharest at the weekend (ending something
like a 27 match unbeaten run).
There's a few lads from The Hut gone over to the match, believe it or not!
Realistically Bohs should have no chance, but they should have won the first
leg, so you never know!
Here's hoping!
Mick.

Shels v Drogheda
I said we needed a 100% improvement and got about 80%.
A "fine advertisment for football" is a cliche often used and this was
it. The first half was thrilling end to end stuff with both teams
coming close on a few occasions and i started wondered why this
drogheda team keeps getting beaten every week.They looked a little
lightweight but were very good and fast on the break and played some
good football.0-0 at the break but shelbourne stepped up a gear in the
second half and scored two goals inside the first 10 mins of the second
half.The first was tapped in when Rutherford,s shot was parried and
Dully was there to tap it in.The second came from a corner when Doolin
headed downwards and it was bundled over the goaline .Haylock claimed
it but everyone congradulated Doolin.The third was a beaut,I slagged
off Rutherford in my last note and he must have saw it.He beat three
players and sent a inch-perfect cross for Haylock to bury the header.
Two subs for shels Costello for Doolin and Pat Byrne(the
player-manager !!!) for Howlett nearly cost them.Drogheda came in to
it too late ,got a deserved goal and missed some chances at the end.
A special mention to the drogheda keeper(dont know his name )for
three class saves ,which had everyone applauding.
And so to Tolka park next saturday .....and "da Bohs "
cheers

Steau Bucharest 4 Bohemians 0
(Steau win 4-0 on aggregate)
Bohs made their exit from Europe after a comprehensive defeat in Bucharest.
It could have been very different if Joe Lawless had not screwed his shot
wide when he had clear run on goal. 2 goals from Andrasi inside 7 minutes
midway through the first half killed the tie. Vlandu added a 3rd and Ion
completed the scoring just before the finish. Bohs never gave up trying and
Dave Tilson always looked dangerous.
Derry City 1 Vitesse Arnhem 2
(Vitesse win 5-1 on aggregate)
Derry City also made their exit from Europe after a very entertaining game at
the Brandywell. Derry's goalscoring problems were to the fore again as they
failed to make their first half superiority count. Right on the stroke of
half time Dermot O'Neill dropped a simple cross and Scraal gave the visitors
the lead. Derry came back in the second half and equalised through Paul
Mooney. The full back curled a superb free kick into the top corner. This
brought roars of approval from the surprisingly large home crowd. Derry
now lookedlike they could win the match but a superbly worked move that
was finished by Lammers settled the game.

Rathbane is not the place to go for goals. Limerick fans endured a 4th
successive scoreless draw at the venue today. This was however a very
entertaining game and a vast improvement on the previous games. Shamrock
Rovers always play good football and this proved to be a very entertaining
game that had everything except goals. There was plenty of needle in the
game as there were 4 ex Rovers players in the Limerick lineup. However there
wasn't a bad tackle in the game and Noel King managed to stay out of the
referee's notebook. Howard King missed the best chances in the game. He
contrived to deflect the ball back to a sranded keeper when faced with a
gaping net in the first half. In the second half he was denied by an upright
after a mazy run. Shamrock Rovers didn't come for a point though and tested
John Grace on many occasions. Limerick had slightly more of the play and
will be marginally unhappier with the result. A point apiece was a fair and
just outcome although it should have been 2-2.
Bohemians and Cork go clear at the top after 2 superb away wins. Bohs
demolished Shelbourne 4-1 at Tolka on Saturday night. O'Connor, Tilson 2
and Fenlon scored the goals with Mick Neville replying for the home side.
This result has sent shock waves through the rest of the league as the
champions were not just beaten but humiliated by a superior footballing
side. Shels will no doubt bounce back but Bohs have emphasised the
seriousness of their title challenge with 4-1 victories at Cork and Shelbourne.
Cork's 1-0 victory in Derry would normally take pride of place although it
was a little bit overshadowed by events the previous night. Pat Morley
scored the only goal after good work by Johnny Glynn. Derry's goalscoring
problems continue but apparently Cork were worthy winners.
Bray scored a late equaliser to snatch a point at home to Dundalk while
Drogheda's victory over Waterford would have been much more comprehensive
if it wasn't for the brillance of Martin Quinlavin. Sligo got back to losing
ways crashing 2-0 at Harolds Cross. Pats have now moved into 3rd place.

What a Crock...
"DA BOHS" hit top form and demolished Shels in the second -half
blitz.
One nil at half time for Da Bohs but you got an uncertain feeling
when the teams came out for the second half.Da Bohs were like lightning
on the break and Tilson scored a beauty ,overhead kick ,that decieved
Neville and Byrne to make it two nil.Shels drew one back with a mick
neville special straight after ,a free kick from about twenty five
yards.But instead of inspiring Shelbourne it inspired Da Bohs who
scored two more ,another from tilson who stretched inhumanly to slot
home his second on the night .Shels couldn,t wait for the final whistle
soon enough.
A very good performance from da bohs but an equally piss-poor
performance from shelbourne ,the shels defence were very slow and were
always second to the ball ,the same could be said for the midfield.
They say that winning the league two years in succession is nearly
impossible both here and across the water ,something to do with
arrogance and the other teams raising their game against you ,this
is probably the case .SHELBOURNE WERE REALLY BAD and thats not taken
anything away from DA Bohs who always gave shels a good game.
If Da Bohs keep playing like this they could definately win the league
But ,as they say ,Its a marathon not a sprint ....
Cheers
Liam
p.s Shels play DA Bohs again on tuesday night ,Gary is this the
equivilant to the charity shield ??? I know its for charity anyway.

Despite away victories over Cork and Shels there's a long way to go for

What a cracker in Tolka Park on friday night !!!!!
Shelbourne 6 Cork (the league leaders) 2
Shels started this game as if their lives depended on (proabley did
considering they lost their last three league games)Chasing everything
and playing neat passing moves .This was rewarded early on with a goal
from Paul Doolin ,to be followed up by a beaut from Mark Rutherford
who shot left-footed ,a screamer ,into the top left corner of the net ,
No keeper would have got it (except Southall perhaps).The cork keeper
was then sent off for pulling Dully down as he went by him (a bit harsh
but rules are rules )Haylock scored from the penalty spot.Dave Barry
the only cork player who stood out on the night ,pulled two back ,both
from set pieces when he beat the shels defence to head home ,identicle
goals .Shels made it four with another from Doolin.And it was only
half-time.Six goals ,three bookings and a sending off in the first
half.Shels didn,t let up on the pressure and Dully scored twice
to finish cork off.
The question must be asked Why cant Shels play like this every week ??
A great night was had by all (shels supporters anyway )and i felt
sorry for the cork fans who had a four-hour coach journey home with
not a lot to talk about ....
Cheers

Well after 4 weeks without L.O.I. football I finally got to see Limerick
again. It was well worth it. Limerick played as well as I've seen them play
for many years. Limerick dominated the first half but failed to score. It
looked like a sure 0-0 draw but Johnny Walsh broke the deadlock just after
the break. He beat Ian Hill before shooting low and hard into the bottom
corner. Pats finally came out of their defensive shell and were unlucky not
to equalise when the crossbar saved Limerick. Limerick regained control with
Barry Ryan looking very dangerous. The game ended as a contest on 79 minutes
when John Ryan was dismissed for a vicous tackle on Barry Ryan. Ryan had been
hacked down all day. He got up after lengthy treatment to set up the 2nd goal
for Howard King but departed injured shortly afterwards.
Bohs have gone 2 points clear after a hard earned point in Sligo. Fenlon
scored early in the second half with Dykes equalising for Sligo. This was a
fair result and a very entertaining game.
Cork were well beaten in Dundalk but stay second.
Stephen Geoghegen was the hero as Rovers hammered 4 past Waterford. He scored
all 4 goals but only played due to a thigh injury to Derek Swan and a bout of
flu.
I'll be away again next week so no reports. I'll post the results again on
Nov 23rd.

Bray Wanderers 1-1 Drogheda United

Re -1,
The premier division splits after 2 series of games with the top 6
playing off for the championship and UEFA spots while the bottom 6
playoff to avoid relegation. Points are retained and each side plays
the other 5 teams home and away. 2 get relegated with a 3rd from
bottom team playing off with the 3rd team in division 1.
Simple eh!!!

League Cup semi final
Shelbourne 1 Limerick 2
Limerick qualified for the League Cup final after a 2-1 victory over
Shelbourne. Shels were fortunate to lead 1-0 at the interval thanks to
Ken O'Doherty. He headed home from a corner that was needlessly conceded by
Dave Minihan. Dave Minihan made up for this error by heading the equaliser
just after the break. Shelbourne missed 4 chances to win the game and were
rocked on their heels when Barry Ryan volleyed the winner in the last
minute. Limerick have reached the final for the 2nd time in 3 years and this
time must have a great chance of winning the cup.

It would be stretching the bounds of credibility to suggest that the match
of the day was at the Carlisle Grounds in Bray. Bray v Limerick was not
a game for the purists and it didn't disappoint. Bray fans felt afterwards
that they were victims of daylight robbery and I could only argue that given
the gloom it was anything but daylight. Bray should have had this game
won at half time. They dominated the first half but good goalkeeping from
John Grace and the crossbar saved Limerrick. Jason Byrne volleyed over from
6 yards early in the second half and Bray looked certain to win until keeper
Sean Ward allowed a 40 yard Ken deMange effort to squirm from his grasp.
Bray were stung into action and John Grace made 2 good saves but within 5
minutes it was 2-0. Peter Mumby headed in Howie King's cross to effectively
end the game. The last quarter was almost as dull as the weather. Bray
threw in the towel and Limerick were content to play out time. I don't
think Limerick will have a more fortunate win this season but the points were
very welcome.
This was an important day in the L.O.I., Derry scored their 12th goal in 15
games but it was enough to beat Dundalk and install them as co-leaders. I
got second half commentary on Dundalk local radio and Derry appeared to
dominate a game that burst into life in the last 12 minutes. Paul Curran
scored from 20 yards to give Derry the lead on 78 minutes. Paul Mooney was
then sent off. 10 man Derry survived a penalty appeal and a scare when Peter
Hanrahan blazed over an open goal. Gino Lawless was then sent off for the
second time in a week to make it 10 a side.
Bohs go top on goal difference after a scoreless draw in Drogheda. Bohs
were short a few regulars but Drogheda were worth their point as they
battled bravely. This keeps Drogheda out of the dreaded bottom 3.
The match of the day was certainly at Harold's Cross. Cork had beaten Pats
in their 5 previous meetings and had come from 2 down to win 4-2 in the
corresponding game last season. Phil Harington handled outside his area and
Paul Campbell scored from 18 yards to give Pats the lead on 3 minutes. Pats
had more of the play after that but Cork always looked threatening. On 65
minutes the game was ended as a contest. Phil Harrington brought down
Paul Osam and got a red card for a professional foul. Pat Kelch beat
Cormac Cotter from the resultant penalty. Playing with 10 men and an outfield
player in goal, Cork should have been dead and buried. In the 3rd minute of
injury time John Caulfield grabbed a goal and the same player was denied 2
minutes later by a Tony O'Dowd save.
Shels and Rovers shared the spoils on Friday night. It was a very entertaining
game and it sent most of the 4,000 crowd home happy. Pierce Devanney
snatched a vital late winner for Sligo in Waterford. This lifts them off
the bottom and into the playoff spot. Waterford and Bray now occupy the
2 relegation spots and this is a worrying time for both clubs.
Galway reign supreme in the first division. They crushed Kilkenny 4-1 at
Buckley Park. Cobh keep in touch by beating St James Gate while UCD and
Athlone shared the spoils at Belfield.

Limerick and Shelbourne shared 2 goals and 2 points after a thrilling game in
the mud and rain at Rathbane. Shels dominated the first half and could have
had 4 goals before eventually breaking through just on the whistle. Peter
Coyle crossed from the right and Padraig Dully finished well in a crowded
penalty area. Limerick came more into the game in the second half. John
Smith hit the bar and Peter Mumby drove the rebound wide of a gaping goal.
The equaliser came on 65 minutes. Barry Ryan teased and tormented Mick Neville
and after again going past him he was brought down. Referee PJ Coyne didn't
hesitate in awarding the penalty. Peter Mumby scored despite a brave effort
from Jody Byrne who got a hand to the shot. Shels took control again and Mark
Rutherford wasted 2 clearcut opportunities. Limerick might have had another
penalty when the referee ignored a blatant push on Mumby but it was Shelbourne
who were the unhappier of the 2 sides at the finish.
Derry and Shamrock Rovers served up a cracker in the match of the day at the
RDS. While they couldn't match the sellout crowd next door at the Tennis, the
football certainly matched the entertainment. Rovers dominated the first
half but good goalkeeping from Dermot O'Neill and a bad miss by Stephen
Geoghegen ensured the first half remained scoreless. Donal O'Brien scored
early in the second half and Rovers couldn't believe their misfortune when
Mark Ennis made it 2-0 minutes later. Rovers came back well. Peter Eccles
drove home and they bombarded the Derry goal for the last 20 minutes but ended
up with nothing. This was a vital victory for Derry and it leaves them level
on points with Cork.
Cork survived a few scares before disposing of Waterford. Pascal Keane was
twice denied by Phil Harrington. john Caulfield scored the only goal in the
first half.
Bohs and Pats played out a dull scoreless draw on Friday night. Bohs played
most of the football but failed to break down a solid defence.
Dundalk and Drogheda drew 1-1 in the Louth derby on Friday night. Sligo
won the relegation battle with Bray thanks to an Aaaron Shearer goal. Willie
McStay's side fully deserved this win and they have put some daylight between
themselves and the bottom two.
Paul Magee scored a last gasp penalty to save a point for Galway at home to
UCD. Finn Harps continued their recent good form by beating Cobh 2-1 thanks
to a late winner from Galwegian Tommy Keane. Athlone beat Longford to stay
in touch at the top but Monaghan crashed 3-2 at home to Kilkenny.

Limerick stay on course for a top 6 spot after a hard earned victory over
Sligo Rovers. Limerick dominated a poor game but a resolute Sligo defence
withstood the onslaught. The sticky mud made good football very difficult
and the first half is best forgotten. Within a minute of the restart Peter
Mumby fired in the only goal after the Sligo defence missed Daithi McMahon's
corner. Denis Bonner almost snatched an equaliser on 59 minutesbut his shot
was saved on the line by sweeper Ray O'Halloran. Limerick squandered
numerous chances in the 2nd half but never looked like conceding the advantage.
Pierce Walsh of Sligo was sent off in the dying minutes for a second bookable
offence.
Bohemians travelled to Derry and had a great 2-0 win over the home side.
Donal Broughan was the hero as he made both goals. Tony O'Connor headed
home the first midway through the first half and Tommy Fitzgerald finished
from close range 9 minutes later. Mark Ennis did hit the bar for Derry but
they were well beaten. Both sides finished the game with 10 men.
Shamrock Rovers went nap at the Carlisle grounds. Derek Swan scored a hatrick
as they overwhelmed Bray for the 2nd time this season. Rovers had already
beaten them 6-1 at the RDS. Manager Ray Treacy was still unhappy with his
side's performance claiming that they have played a lot better and lost.
St Pats kept up their top 6 challenge by defeating Waterford. Pascal Keane
gave the visitors the lead early in the game but 2 John Ryan goals either
side of the interval settled the issue.
Shelbourne continued their good form by hammering Dundalk 4-1 on Friday
night. The Reds are still in a strong position to retain their title while
Dundalk who could have gone top 2 weeks ago are now struggling to hang onto
a top 6 spot.
Galway earned a point in Cobh but Athlone lost ground, losing 3-1 in
Monaghan. UCD maintained their promotion challenge as they hammered Home
Farm 3-0 thanks to a Darren O'Brien hatrick.
Ashtownvilla defeated St Francis 3-1 at Baldonnell to clinch a place in the
first round of the F.A.I. Cup. The giantkillers of the past 2 years had
played out a 1-1 draw last Sunday but Ashtownvilla proved superior on this
occasion. Other sides to reach the first round include College Corinthians,
Temple United and Dale United.

Festive greetings one and all
Im trying to find out what happened (in football terms) to a friend I
went to school with. His name is Mark Gill, and he played for Home Farm
for a few seasons around 1987-8, and then went to Newcastle for a
couple of years. His contract wasnt renewed in 1990 and he went back
to Ireland and signed initially for Shels, and then I believe went to
Galway (?).
Any of you folks heard of him, or seen him play recently. Im going home
myself to Dublin for Christmas and want to look him up.
Thanks
John B.

Limerick boosted their hopes of a top 6 place by demolishing Shamrock Rovers
at the RDS. It was a sweet victory for Limerick boss Noel King who used to
manage the hoops. It was all former Rovers players that did the damage.
The first half was scoreless with Derek McGrath saving Rovers and Ray
O'Halloran saving Limerick. Limerick were totally dominant after the break.
Peter Mumby made it 1-0 after Rovers keeper Alan Kane showed that he knew the
true spirit of Christmas. Johnny Walsh crossed for Howie King to make it 2
90 seconds later and Howie King will surely claim the 3rd although Rovers
defender Willie Burke got the final touch. Derek McGrath got a late
consolation for Rovers but Howie King made it 4 in injury time. Limerick
are now 5 points off the top but incredibly would be involved in a relegation
battle if we don't move up one place in the next 4 weeks.
Cork and Derry shared 2 goals and 2 points in the match of the day. Donal
O'Brien gave Derry a fortunate lead in the last quarter but John Caulfield
rescued a point for Cork late in the game. Apparently Cork dominated the game
and were very unfortunate to go a goal down.
Waterford and Drogheda shared the spoils in a 6 goal thriller at Kilcohan.
A Waterford side containing 9 teenagers came from 3-1 down to earn a point
thanks to a last minute own goal from Harry Kenny. Weldrick gave Drogheda
the lead on 32 minutes with Ritchie Hale equalising from the corner flag
with an incredible overhead kick. Colm Tresson made it 2-1 at the break for
Drogheda and Barry O'Connor appeared to have wrapped up both points with
a header on 72 minutes. Pascal Keane gave Waterford a lifeline after he
converted a penalty before Harry Kenny played Santa to the kids.
Sligo earned a fortunate victory over Pats in a poor game. Reid scored the
only goal in the second half.
Dundalk's dismal run continues. They drew 1-1 at home to Bray on Friday
night. The frost forced the postponement of the Dublin derby between Bohs
and Shels.

Limerick are Bohemians shared the spoils after a scoreless draw at Rathbane.
The game was never a classic but it did keep the huge crowd on tentherhooks
right up until the final whistle. Bohs will almost certainly be the happier
of the 2 sides this morning but both will consider it a point won rather
than a point lost. Bohs had the better of the early exchanges but Limerick
gradually gained control. Howie King and Barry Ryan ensured that Dave
Henderson was the busier of the 2 keepers. DEclan Geoghegan cleared off the
line when Henderson was finally beaten. Bohs could have scored too when Pat
Fenlon's header was well saved by John Grace. Limerick dominated much of
the second half. Donal Broughan almost scored the own goal of the season.
His attempted back pass crashed off the underside of the crossbar and bounced
down very close to the line. Limerick claim it bounced over the line.
Unfortunately we didn't have a Russian linesman and Bohs escaped. Howie
King chipped wide of a gaping goal as Bohs survived a fierce onslaught.
It wasn't Limerick's day and in the end it was Bohemians who finished the
stronger team and a tired Limerick side were content to settle for a point.
Cork lost outright leadership of the premier division as Martin Nugent headed
a late equaliser for Bray. Pat Morley had given Cork a first half lead and
they appeared to be defending comfortably against an inept home attack when
Nugent 's goal gave Bray the point their pressure deserved.
Derry went back on top when Donal O'Brien's goal gave them a very fortunate
victory over St. Pats. O'Brien scored the only goal after 7 minutes but
Pats dominated the rest of the game without breaking down a superbly
marshalled home defence. Th is is a serious blow to St Pats' hopes of
making the top 6. Pats now trail Limerick on goal difference but have
an easier finish.
Dundalk look likely to claim a top 6 spot after beating Shamrock Rovers at
the RDS. Tom McNulty scored the only goal but Alan O'Neill was the Dundalk
hero saving time and again as Rovers poured forward.
Drogheda and Sligo shared the points at United Park. Martin McDonnell gave
Sligo the lead with Colm Tresson equalising. Both sides look likely to be
battling to avoid the playoff spot. Shamrock Rovers who are also in that
battle visit Sligo next Sunday.
Shelbourne hammered Waterford on Saturday. Greg Costello 2, Gary Haylock 3
and Padraig Dully scored the goals.
It was a bad day for the leading sides in the first division. Galway crashed
1-0 to bottom side St James's Gate. UCD lost in Longford and Athlone lost
at home to Finn Harps.

Dundalk virtually ensured themselves of a place in the top 6 by defeating
Limerick at Oriel Park. Dundalk went on the attack from the start
and eventually broke through after 32 minutes. Tom McNulty crossed for
Peter Hanrahan to score from 6 yards. Limerick came much more into the game
in the second half and had chances to equalise. However Dundalk defended well
and indeed looked more likely to score on the break. Limerick didn't play
badly but lost to a better side on the day. Limerick haven't given up on the
top 6 yet and hopefully the surprisingly large and voiciferous travelling
support will be present at the next 2 games.
Cork went clear at the top after defeating Shelbourne 2-1. Johnny Glynn
scored the winner after 70 minutes. Pat Morley had given Cork a first half
lead but Gary Howlett equalised early in the second half. Cork were always
the more purposeful side and mastered the appalling conditions.
St Pats moved back into a top 6 spot after a 2-2 draw at home to Drogheda.
This was a vital game for Pats and they twice came from behind to snatch a
point. Barry O'Connor and Colm Tresson scored for the visitors with a
Sean Byrnes own goal giving Pats a point.
Waterford pulled off the shock of the day defeating Derry 2-0 at Kilcohan park.
Pascal Keane and Brian Arrigan scored but the real heroes were the home
defenders. They withstood a second half onslaught from Derry.
Bohs moved into second place after a 2-0 victory over 10 man Bray. Bohs
deserved to win but made life difficult for themselves. Shamrock Rovers
gave manager Ray Treacy a much needed boost by winning in Sligo. Paul
Cashin scored the only goal after 20 minutes.
Galway moved 4 points clear at the top of the first division. They defeated
Longford 1-0. Jimmy Nolan scored the only goal 3 minutes from the end.
Longford had survived incessant Galway pressure after having defender Tom
Conway sent off in the first half. This was a great day for Galway as their
3 closest challengers all lost. Finn Harps are now in second place but they
trail Galway by 4 points.

St Pats 0 Limerick 2
Limerick captured the League Cup for the second time and again it was won away
from home. Pats were awarded home advantage but this was cancelled out by the
huge travelling support. This was the biggest travelling support for Limerick
that I've seen since the cup final of 82. Pats looked like they had too much
turkey and were well and truly stuffed. Limerick dominated the first quarter
and could have had 4 goals. The breakthrough came on 15 minutes when Howie
King headed home to atone for earlier misses. Paul Osam dragged Pats back into
the game with some lovely touchs in midfield but their forward line was sadly
lacking in ideas. Limerick could and should have been further ahead at
the break. Howie King set up Peter Mumby for the second goal on 58 minutes.
This killed the tie as a contest but it resulted in Pats taking control.
John Grace was finally called into action and he saved well from Ryan and
Treacy. Pats also hit a post and the Limerick goal led a charmed life for
about 20 minutes. At the finish there was a mass pitch invasion and joyous
celebrations went on long into the night.

Limerick saved a point with a 90th minute equaliser at home to Waterford but
look destined to miss out on the top 6. Limerick started and finished well
but Waterford were the better side for much of the 90 minutes. Limerick
took the lead on 3 minutes when Howie King's shot took a wicked deflection off
Alan Barry and spun into the net. Peter Mumby twice missed open goals and
Limerick could have been 4 up in 10 minutes. Waterford gradually came into
the game and equalised through Vinny McCarthy. Kevin Kelly started the move
on the right. Pascal Keane cleverly backheeled the ball into the path of
McCarthy who scored from 12 yards. Despite playing against a gale force wind
Waterford had most of the play in the remainder of the first half. Waterford
made good use of the elements after the break and took the lead on 58 minutes
when Kevin Kelly finished well after playing a 1-2 with Pascal Keane. Limerick
never got to grips with the conditions and all seemed lost until Daithi
McMahon headed home a superb if slightly flattering equaliser on the final
whistle.
St Pats had to settle for a point in Bray but it could just be enough to
guarantee them a top 6 spot. John Ryan gave Pats the lead on 4 minutes with
a superb overhead kick that would not have been out of place in Serie A.
Martin Nugent equalised with a 30 yard drive on 25 minutes that was also as
good as anything in the Italian game. Unfortunately the football for the
other 88 minutes was much more mundane and both sides seemed happy with a
point. John Ryan almost snatched it for Pats at the death but Sean Ward saved
well.
Cork City strengthened their position on top of the league with a 3-2 victory
over Shamrock Rovers at the RDS. The result certainly flattered Rovers who
were outplayed for much of the 90 minutes. Cork led 3-0 after 30 minutes
thanks to two Pat Morley goals and one from John Caulfield. Paul Cashin pulled
a goal back in first half injury time. Cork dominated the second half but
failed to add to their tally and almost lost out. Derek McGrath scored after
80 minutes to set up a grandstand finish but Cork deservedly hung on to the
two points.
Bohs are now 2 points behind Cork but they were releived to escape from Oriel
Park with a point. Martin Lawlor gave Dundalk an early lead when his cross
got caught in the wind and totally deceived Dave Henderson. Dundalk should
have been further ahead at the break but Dave Henderson atoned for his early
mistake by making a string of superb saves. Bohs aided by the strong breeze
came into the game in the second half but appearewd to have lost the game until
Pat Fenlon equalised with a superb 20 yard strike 3 minutes from time.
Derry and Sligo played out a boring scoreless draw at the Brandywell. Sligo
were the better side but poor finishing cost them dearly.
Shelbourne kept alive their title hopes by defeating Drogheda 3-2. Howlett,
Haylock and Coyle scored the goals with Reid and Murphy replying for the
visitors.
Galway strengthened their lead at the top of the first division by hammering
Athlone 4-0. Cobh and Finn Harps both lost and UCD could only draw at home
to St James Gate.

Look on the bright side, Limerick still have a chance to make the top
6, Rovers can look forward to some exciting relegation battles at the
RDS over the coming months. Why not beat Cork? Here's onne who

Liam, I hope Shels do us a favour but I think they'll probably settle
for a point at Harolds Cross. We'd then have to beat Cork and I don't
think that's on but you never know. There's a very strong possibility
that the Cork game will be called off. bishopstown was unplayable for
a Munster Senior League tie last week and the weather has been awful
since. This would actually give Limerick the opportunity to see
exactly what we need. It was also throw the fixture list into chaos as
the top 6 is due to start next Sunday. The fixtures will be released
on Sunday night depending on whether Pats or Limerick qualify.
I see from the Everton note that you'd rather watch the Irish Rugby
team than Everton. I didn't realise things were THAT bad at Goodison.
Still at Shels are looking good.

St Pats took a major step towards securing a top 6 place by holding Shelbourne
to a scoreless draw at Harolds Cross. Tony O'Dowd made some important saves
but Pats did have a goal disallowed. The Pats fans celebrated afterwards but
they could lose out if Limerick win in Cork.
The Cork City v Limerick tie was postponed but some Limerick fans (incl
me) didn't find out until we got to Cork. The game has been refixed for
Wednesday next and it will be a nailbiting few days for fans of Pats and
Limerick.
Bohs went back to the top of the table after a hard fought viuctory over
Shamrock Rovers. Bohs were short several first team regulars.
Mark ennis scored the only goal as Derry won in Drogheda while Sligo and
Dundalk shared the ponts at the Showgrounds. Bray lifted themselves off
the bottom after gaining only their second win of the season.
Galway continue to dominate the first division. They won 2-1 away to one
of their main rivals, Finn Harps.

| I paid a long overdue visit to Dalymount yesterday to witness Bohs
going back to the top of the table with a team missing four to five
regulars. In a hard fought game Bohs snatched victory with less than
20 minutes remaining. They survived a late scare when David henderson,
in a momentary fit of madness, dashed out of the box, intercepted the
ball and tried to beat a forward instead of clearing to touch. A
Rovers player lobbed two defenders only for the ball to miraculously
rebound off the upright back into Henderson's hands.
The game was well attended (not a vacant seat in the stand) and Rovers
left the field with chants of "going down" ringing around the ground.
Rovers certainly didn't look like a team in the lower half of the
duvision.

A dour game at Harolds Cross on sunday ..Pats were terrible and Shels
could not take advantage despite Haylock hitting the bottom of the post
with a shot.Thats as close as it came i,m afraid.
The conditions were terrible ,the pitch was in bits and it hail stoned
for fifteen minutes inthe first half.Some bruising tackles and a couple
of flair-ups were as exciting as this game got.These are the type of
games that you should win ,even with a scappy goal if you are to win
the title.
Sorry Gary that we coulndt do you a favour but you are proably better
off needing a win then going for a draw .So lets hope you make the cut.
The match has been switched to Turners Cross but I heard it,s an
afternoon kick-off (to be confirmed ).
Other LOI news Derry take on Everton in a friendly tomorrow night
the same night as Bohs take on Shels in a rearranged league fixture
and Shels are playing Liverpool on friday night at tolka park.
DEcisions ,Decisions ???????????
Cheers

I don't think Shels v Liverpool is confirmed yet.
I'm off to Turners Cross tomorrow. This time I'll try and make sure
the game is on BEFORE I travel. I think we could have held out for a

| 11.222 | Developments at Dalymount | ESSB::SONEILL | | Tue Jan 19 1993 12:52 | 13 |
| I'm not sure who owns Dalymount these days, but extensive developments
are underway. The old terrace between the Shed and the half-way line
is gone and will be replaced by a training pitch. A feasability study
on the remainder of the terracing, which is mounted on columns, has
indicated that it is suitable for further development. I believe there
is a plan in place to cover this terrace and install seating, similar
to what Shels have done at Tolka. This would greatly increase the
seating capacity and judging by last Sunday's game where not a seat was
to be had - more seats )and a successful team) brings more punters.
Maybe the FAI are giving SKY Sports money in lieu of floodlights since
Dalymount already has upgraded them a few years ago.

It would be good to see Dalymount restored. It would be even better to
see Limerick playing there next Sunday instead of Pats. :-)
As for chanting "going down" to the Rovers fans, well it's not beyond
the bounds of possibility. They're just above the playoff spot.
However this bottom 6 will benefit Rovers as they can beat the crap
teams such as Bray but lose to the quality sides like Shels and Bohs
(and of course Limerick).

before tomorrow comes ...What do you think of the league splitting
anyway ???
personally I think it is stupid .It is possible ,because the 6th and
7th teams are fairly close to the top,that at the end ofthe league
the 7th team could end up with more points then the eventual (sp)
winner of the league .unlikely I know ,but possible.
Why do the league keep F@@@ing with the league eh ????????
just my two cents worth

with concrete terracing, covered seating and standing accomodation, a
decent pitch , floodlights and three bars where does that leave the

Cork City 0-1 Limerick
This was Limerick's most important game for eleven years. It was win or bust
and Limerick pulled off a shock win. The tension before the game was very
evident. Cork needed the points to go top of the league. Limerick needed
2 points to make the top 6 and ensure Noel King's side would not scatter
to the 4 winds. Ken DeMange may yet join Derry but Peter Mumby's transfer to
Pats is surely off.
Cork won the toss and chose to play against the strong wind in the first half.
Limerick started better but only threatened from set pieces. 4 free kicks
from just outside the penalty area were wasted in the first 30 minutes. As
the first half wore on Cork took control but neither goal was threatened in a
tense first half. Cork played towards the home end in the second half and
apparently score most of their goals at that end of the pitch. They seized
the initiative and dominated the early part of the second half. Limerick still
threatened on breaks. Both sides had to win but for the first hour neither
side really looked like doing that. Just after the hour Limerick won a free
kick inside the Cork half. The ball was played through to Peter Mumby who
evaded one challenge before sending a teasing ball into the box. It just
evaded a Cork defender and Howie King met it beautifully to steer it past
Harrington. This was the prelude for mass celebration among the Limerick
contingent. The last 30 minutes were the longest I've endured since
Stuttgart. Cork seemed certain to equalise late on when the ball was chipped
over John Grace and Pat Morley was denied from 2 yards by a magnificent
clearance by Ray Duffy. A goal at that stage would have been a travesty of
justice. Limerick held on and the final whistle came as a great relief.
Bohemians 1-1 Shelbourne
Bohs go back on top thanks to this draw but they will consider it a point
dropped. Tommy Fitzgerald gave Bohs a first half lead but Gary Haylock
equalised midway through the second half. Shels finished the game with 10 men
as Gary Howlett was sent off but they clung on for a vital point.

Cork City 0 Limerick City 1
This was my first visit to Turner's Cross and while I would have preferred
Cork to have won and remain on top, it was nice to see Limerick win and deny
Pat's a top six spot. Before the game, I met up with one Gary Spain who was
rather surprised to see me.
Cork had a few chances in the first half, the best one falling to John
Caulfield who hit the side netting. De Mange also wasted three free kicks in
this period. I would have gone closer myself. One would have thought that
Limerick needed a goal in the first half if they were to have any chance
against the breeze.
With about 20 mins to go, DeMange rolled a quick free and Howie King fired
into the bottom corner. At that moment, Gary Spain and the small number of
Limerick fans went wild with delight. It was as if Limerick had won the
European cup. They defended well in the last 20 wins and were the better side
overall. Cork will have to avoid these kind of upsets if they are to win the
league.
For a long time during yesterday's match, it looked as if Limerick were
heading to Bray on Sunday but now it's Dalymount against Bohs.

Martin, I remember you changed sides when Cork substituted their centre
forward in the second half. :-)
Noel King pointed to Johnny Glynn's substitution as the turning point.
Johnny was causing problems for our defence but he was replaced by Paul
Bannon who played in a more central role. This allowed full back John
Smith to get forward for Limerick and he earned the free kick that led
to the goal.
I must point out that the purpose of Martin's trip to Cork was to
spread the news of Aldoism. He had a big banner "ALDO 3:16" :-) :-)

Ive been off for the last two days but was at dalyer on wednesday
night.
First of all congrats to Limerick ,I told you Gary that Limerick
were better off going for a win rather than only needing a draw.
I went to dalymount instead of makingthe trip to the brandywell
and was served up a great match .
Honours were even for the first 40 mins with both teams missing
chances and jodi byrne making a super onehanded save from a close
rang effort.The Bohs goal was a long punt forward where the bohs
player(cant remeber his name )beat the slow Mick Neville and lobbed
the advancing jodi Byrne .This seemed to set shock waves thru shels
who hung on for the last few minutes of the half.
The second half was completely different.Shels bombarded the bohs
goal but nothing was that clear cut and bohs started to panic.
The pressure payed off when Mark Rutherford robbed one of the bohs
defenders ,i think it was paul whelan,and sent in a deep cross where
Haylock rose above two defenders and headed it home.The fans were
delighted ..Gary Howlett was sent off for the second bookable offence
,he was man of the match upto that ,with twelve minutes to go.I feared
the worst but shels did more than just hang on and could have got a
winner if Haylock was half as fit as last year.
Overall a fair result and both sets of supporters were happy with the
draw.
Cheers
Liam
p.s apologies for not knowing most of the bohs players as i,m only back
supporting LOI in the last three years ..

You missed the finglas duel then ,with Ken de mange vs Gary Howlett
but no doubt we will see it again, twice ,i hope .assuming Mr de mange
stays with limerick.(any news on that front).
Fellow fingallians are of course young mr Grace ,your keeper ,Ronnie
Whelan and his brother Paul (he of bohs fame ),Jim Grace (now n goal
for dundalk or drogheda )etc etc now I,m getting parochial 8-)8-)

p.s. I was in the players bar after the match on wednesday and
Fenlon came up and apologised to Gary Howlett for getting him
sent off.Something about making a meal of the tackle etc etc
It was Gary,s firstsending off inten years of pro football
in england and three years playing here.

Bohemians moved 2 points clear at the top after a hard earned victory
over Limerick. Bohs failed to use the wind in the firstc half and
indeed survived a fewscares in the second half before Tommy Fitzgerald
scored the only goal on 73 minutes.
Declan Roche gave Cork a half time lead at the Brandywell. This was very
much against the run of play as Derry had dominated the first half. Phil
Harrington denied Donal O'Brien and Mark Ennis had a goal disallowed for
handball. Cork defended well, rode their luck and broke away to score
just before the break. Mark ennis scored a deserved second half equaliser
for the candystripes.
Dundalk led Shelbourne 1-0 at the break thanks to Peter Hanrahan. Shels
had done most of the attacking before Peter Hanrahan backheaded the ball
over a bemused Jody Byrne. This turned out to be the only score of the
game and Shels' title hopes have received a huge setback.
Sligo gained 2 very valuable points when their 2 Scottish imports helped
defeat St Pats. Willie Hasty rcently signed from Celtic opened the
scoring and Ross Jack recently signed from Kilmarnock scored the other
2 goals that defeated St Pats. Sligo were deserving winners in a very
entertaining game.
Bray also had a vital win. A Sean Byrnes own goal was enough to give them
hopes of avoiding the drop.
Shamrock Rovers and Waterford played out a scoreless draw at the RDS. This
was a very boring game and a poor Rovers side left the field to boos and
catcalls.
Galway could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to Home Farm. Stephen Butler
gave Home Farm the lead with a superb strike. Jimmy Nolan equalised on
46 minutes when his shot was deflected into the net. Galway maintain their
big lead at the top as UCD also drew.

Limerick and Derry shared the spoils after an enthralling tussle at Rathbane.
Limerick had most of the play but Derry defended well and always looked
dangerous on the break. Dermot O'Neill proved that he's still one of the
best keepers in th eleague with a couple of good stops in the first half.
Daithi McMahon was superb for Limerick in his first full game of the season.
He constantly teased and tormented the visitors defence but they stood firm.
Just before half time Donal O'Brien headed Derry into an unlikely lead.
O'Brien's header looped over John Grace who claimed a=fterwards that the sun
was in his eyes. Limerick piled on the pressure after the break and Derry
survived for 13 minutes before Daithi McMahon crossed, David Minihan headed on
and Peter Mumby scored with a low drive. Both sides had chances to win the
game in the last 30 minutes but a draw always looked likely.
Bohemians stay top but they had to fight hard for a point at Tolka on
Friday night. Shels had most of the play but failed to capitalise on many
chances. Bohs defended well and almost sneaked a winner when Peter Coyle
headed against his own post. Shels hopes of retaining the title have
now been badly damaged.
Cork stay in touch at the top with a comfortable 2-0 home win. Johnny Glynn
scored in the first half. This half took almost an hour as Dundalk had
2 players carried off - James Coll and Alan O'Doherty. Dundalk threatened
briefly in the second half before John Caulfield wrapped up the points
after a superb move that covered the length of the pitch. Gerry McCabe
brought the ball out of defence. He passed to Pat Morley who passed to Declan
Roche who crossed for Caulfield to score a superb goal.
Pascal Keane scored the only goal in the 3 bottom six games. His second half
strike gave Waterford a priceless victory over Sligo. St Pats and Bray bored
the pants off everybody at Harolds Cross and the offering at United Park
was little better as Drogheda and Shamrock Rovers failed to break the deadlock.
Galway stuttered a little in the first division. 2 Jumbo Brennan goals in
the second half saved a point at home to Kilkenny. UCD failed to capitalise
as they crashed to 2 Johnny Morris-Burke goals in Athlone. Philip
Power kept Monaghan on course for promotion wit hthe only goal v Longford.
Cobh hammered the Gate while Finn Harps were held at home by Home Farm.

Dundalk and Limerick drew 0-0 at Oriel Park. This was a game that Limerick
should have won but they were denied by a brilliant display of goalkeeping
from Alan O'Neill. 3 times he denied Daithi McMahon in the second half.
With the league already out of reach neither side will be too disappointed with
the result and both had one eye on the cup.
Derry did the rest of the league a big favour by defeating Bohs. Joe Lawless
gave Bohs a first half lead but Roy Coyle's side were a different team in the
second half and scored twice through John Bacon and Stuart Gauld. This was
a well deserved victory for the candystripes and it throws the league wide
open.
Shels kept their faint title hopes alive with a 2-0 victory over Cork. Shels
played some brilliant football and totally outclassed Cork however they
lack consistency and will struggle to retain their crown.
It was 1-1 all the way in the bottom six. However the quality on offer
differed greatly. Sligo and Drogheda gave value for money in a thriller
at the Showgrounds. Barry O'Connor scored early on for the visitors but
John Byrne equalised before the break. both sides had chances in a pulsating
second half. Waterford destroyed St Pats for 77 minutes, they led 1-0, missed
a penalty and many more gilt edged chances. Paul Campbell snatched a point for
Pats and even still Waterford should have won the game but Tony o'Dowd made
a great save from Alan Barry. Shamrock Rovers finally scored a goal but they
quickly conceded an equaliser and treated their dwindling patrons to another
boring 90 minutes.
Galway removed any lingering doubts over their promotion prospects with a
1-0 victory over closest challengers UCD. Jimmy Nolan scored the only goal.
Monaghan go second after a great win in Kilkenny. Cobh and Harps played
out a 0-0 draw but Paul McGee hit the crossbar for Harps.

Limerick reached the second round of the cup after a tough test at Longford.
The first half was dull and lifeless and devoid of good football. A well
rehearsed corner kick gace Limerick the lead early in the second half. Ken
DeMange's corner was headed on by David Minihan and Howie King finished from
4 yards. Longofrd then took over and piled on the pressure. They got the
equaliser they deserved 18 minutes from time. Substitute Derek McCormack
scored with a superb 20 yards chip. Limerick roarted back and Howie King
won the game with a superb shot 4 minutes later.
Bohs easily disposed of a poor Drogheda side. Derry got through against Temple
Utd but the Corkmen were not disgraced. Donal O'Brien scored after 20 minutes
but Derry struggled to break down a resolute defence and indeed escaped on
a couple of occasions when Temple hit the post. Mark ennis made it 2-0 on 76
minutes when he scored from what appeared to be an offside position and Noel
Murray made it 3 late on.
Dale United were the victims of a St Valentines Day massacure at Bishopstown.
Cork's 7-0 victory was every bit as comprehensive as the scoreline suggests.
Anthony Buckley 2,Pat Morley, Johnny Glynn and Dave Barry were among the
goalscorers.
Bray held Shels to a scoreless draw at the Carlisle Grounds. Bray's style
of football earns them far more bookings than friends and this was the case
again today. Gary Haylock almost won it for Shels but his goal was chalked off
for offside.
Galway crashed out at home to Athlone. Derek Rodgers put through his own goal
in the first half to give Athlone the lead. Mark Devlin scored a stunning
equaliser but Athlone raced into a 3-1 lead through Johnny Morris-Burke and
Mickey O'Connor before Peter Carpenter notched a late consolation. There was
still time for John Kenny to hit the bar but Athlone held out for a deserved
win.
Waterford and Kilkenny served up a thriller at Kilcohan Park. Ritchie Hale
scored for the Blues in the first minute but 2 second half goals including a
penalty from long time Waterford servant Kewvin Power gave Kilkenny an
unlikely lead. Terry Kearns earned a replay with a late strike.
Monaghan v Home Farm and Wayside Celtic v Cobh are only to be recommended to
insoumniacs. Both games ended in scoreless but not boreless draws. Tramore
Athletic v Bank Rovers was marginally better but this also ended scoreless.
Shamrock Rovers scored 3 times in the second half to finally kill off College
Corinthians. The UCC graduates caused a lot of problems in the first half and
Noel Healy should have given College the lead. Derek McGrath, Joe Gallen and
Derek Treacy scored the goals that put Rovers into Tuesday's draw.
Sligo, Dundalk, UCD and St Pats all comfortably disposed of opposition from a
lower league.

Sligo v Wayside Celtic/Cobh Ramblers
Derry City v Athlone
Tramore Athletic/Bank Rovers v Ashtownvilla/Glenmore Celtic
Shelbourne/Bray v Cork City
Shamrock Rovers v Waterford/Kilkenny
St Pats v UCD

2 great ties in propsect - Dundalk v Bohemians and Shelbourne v
Cork City assuming the Reds overcome Bray. There's the possibility of a
repeat of the 1983 semi final when Sligo defeated Cobh after 4 games. At
least one non-league will be in the last 8. It's a great draw too for
Limerick.

thriller at Rathbane. Both side played well and ahd good chances. Declan
Roche scored the only goal after 20 minutes.
2 home defeats for Derry and Bohs made it a great day for Cork. Tom McNulty
scored the only goal as Dundalk won in Dalymount. Shels won comfortably 2-0 in
Derry.
Shamrock rovers continued their poor run drawing 0-0 at home to Sligo. Rovers
finished the game with 10 men as Peter Eccles was sent off. Josh Moran
gifted Waterford their first ever win in Bray while Drogheda comfortably
disposed of a demoralised St Pats side.

A good Week for shelbourne ,Beating a dull Bray 4-1 on thursday night
in the cup replay .It was a dull affair even with the scoreline ,
Mark Rutherford ,the pin-up for the shelbourne groupies,got a nice
hat-trick and Anto Whelan ,who played a stormer in both games ,popped
up to score a rare goal .Bray got a consolation near the end.
And so to the week end ,The results went Shels way except Cork beating
Limerick.I spoke to Gary Howlett last night and he said they played
their best match so far this season in the Brandywell to beat Derry
2-0 with Dully and Costello getting the goals ..maybe me handing the
title to Bohs two weeks ago did the trick ???????
Only one point off Bohs and two off the leaders Cork with seven games
left to play and it,s getting exciting.Maybe ,just maybe ,if shels
win all their matchs ,no I wont tempt faith ..........
Cheers

It was 1-1 all the way in the top 6. 3 1-1 draws leaves the table as it
was on Friday morning. Limerick and Shelbourne started it all off on Friday
night. John Smith gave Limerick the lead early int he second half with a
35 yard piledriver. Gary Howlett snatched apoint for Shels late on when he
capitalised on a mistake by Ray Duffy in a goalmouth scramble. Shels really
needed to win this one but were happy to scramble a point in the end.
Cork and Bohs shared the points on Saturday. Bohs dominated the early
exchanges and Joe Lawless hit the post. Alec Ludzic made a superb penalty
save from Pat Fenlon as Cork hung on in the first half. Cork showed the
resilence that has brought them to the top of the league in the second half.
Pat Morley gave them the lead from the penalty spot and the would have got
a slightly fortunate victory only for a superb Pat Fenlon header.
Derry took only 15 seconds to take the lead at Oriel Park. John Bacon
sprung the offside trap and raced through to score. Terry Eviston snatched
an equaliser on 21 minutes. The woodwork and the brillance of Alan O'Neill
denied Derry the 2 points that their performance merited.
Shamrock Rovers improved considerably on recent showings but ended up with
nothing. John Toal gave them the lead with a superb goal at Harolds Cross.
Paul Campbell equalised 5 minutes later from an offside position. Paul
Osam headed home a late winner to give Pats their first league victory of
the year.
Bray came in for scathing criticism from the RTE reporter at the Showgrounds.
Their draw at all costs attitude earned them yet another scoreless draw. They
did pick up their usual quota of bookings however.
Waterford hammered Drogheda 4-0 to ease their relegation worries. Pascal
Keane scored 2 superb goals with Alan Barry and Terry Kearns netting the
others.

Robin, I don't have a full fixture list but I'm pretty certain (working
by the Limerick list) that Cork travel to Dundalk on March 21st and are
scheduled to entertain Derry on March 28th. However March 28th is set
aside for the cup and whatever about Cork's chances of beating Shels,
Derry should dispose of Athlone so Cork will have a cup tie or a free
Sunday.

Limerick and Home Farm must meet again after today's 1-1 draw in the cup.
Limerick had the better fo the first half and took the lead after 25 minutes.
Albert Finnan made a superb run down the right. his inch perect cross was
met by the unmarked Johnny Walsh who headed the opening goal. Farm's neat
football began to take effect late in the half but they never seriously
threatened. It was a different game in the second half. Home Farm had a
couple of good chances to equalise early in the second half. Barry Ryan then
squandered a golden opportinity to make the game safe. Limerick were to pay
dearly for this miss becaus e2 minutes later James Keddy levelled the score
with a superb 30 yard drive. It was one way traffic after that with Home Farm
squandering 3 gilt edged chances to pull off a shock victory. The inexperience
of this young but talented side cost them dearly. The replay is at Whitehall
on Thursday and Home Farm must fancy their chances however I can't imagine
Limerick playing as badly again.
Dundalk and Bohemians played out the predictable scoreless draw at Oriel Park.
Best's goal-line clearance earned Bohs a replay in a game of little
excitement and entertainment.
It was scoreless also at Tolka Park. Shelbourne had Greg Costello sent off
after 63 minutes. Cork strung five across midfield and were successful in
their attempts to stifle Shels. Indeed they might have won the game as Jody
Byrne was the busier of the 2 keepers.
Padraig Moran on loan from Hearts is the toast of Sligo tonight. He scored
4 goals as the home side demolished Cobh Ramblers. These sides met 4 times
to decide the 1983 semi final before Sligo went on to win the cup for the
first and only time. On the evidence of today's play Sligo will mount a
serious challenge for honours this time.
Shamrock Rovers put poor league form behind them as they defeated Waterford
3-0 in the cup. Geoghegan,Brazil and McGrath scored the goals. While Rovers
were deserving winners the scoreline was a little harsh on Waterford who
battled bravely.
Derry had to wait until the 72nd minute before finally breaking down a stubborn
Athlone defence. Brave goalkeeping from Anthony Keenan and the woodwork had
denied Derry until John Bacon struck a late winner.
Pat Kelch struck a late equaliser to earn St Pats a replay they scarcely
deserved against UCD. The students scored just after the break and looked
set for victory until a double substitution produced the equaliser.
Glenmore Celtic comfortably disposed of Tramore Athletic in the clash of the
2 non-league sides. Byrne and Masterson scored with Jim Leahy getting a late
consolation for the Cork side.
Limerick 1-1 Home Farm
Dundalk 0-0 Bohemians
Derry City 1-0 Athlone Town
Shelbourne 0-0 Cork City
Sligo Rvs 5-1 Cobh Ramblers
Tramore Ath 1-3 Glenmore Celtic
UCD 1-1 St Patricks Ath

A Strange game in Tolka Park yesterday ..
Shelbourne had most of the possesion in the first half with Dully
going close with a move from his own penalty area but Jodi Byrne made
three brilliant saves to keep the score 0-0 at half time.
Cork had the better of the second half but rarely threatened until
shelbourne had the lacklustre Costello sent off for a second bookable
offence on Dave Barry.As sometimes happens this works against the team
with eleven men and brought Shelbourne back into the match with Bobby
Brown having the best chance only for Ludvic (sp) making his only save
of the game look easy.
Best for cork were McCabe and Barry ..Best for Shels were Anto Whelan
Bobby Brown and motm Jodi Byrne ..
Replay on Wednesday night and the both teams meet on sunday in the
league .Both matchs are in Cork and an important week for Shels .
If they lose these two matchs their season is as good as over ..
Cheers

| 11.264 | Quarter final draw | GALVIA::SPAIN | There's always the U.S. | Tue Mar 09 1993 09:24 | 31 |
|
The draw for the quarter finals of the F.A.I. Cup was made this morning.
The full draw is:
Derry City v Shamrock Rovers
Dundalk/Bohemians v Limerick/Home Farm
Sligo v UCD/St Pats
Glenmore Celtic v Shelbourne/Cork City
Great draw with some cracking games in prospect. It's a nightmare
draw for Limerick. If we beat Home Farm we must travel to holders Bohemians
or even worse face our bogey side Dundalk (one win since 1980).
Derry v Rovers is the tie of the round. There should eb a huge crowd
at the Brandywell and Derry should progress but no only a fool would write
off Shamrock Rovers in the F.A.I. Cup.
Sligo will also pack them in at the Showgrounds. They'll fancy their
chances of making the semi finals and every neutral in the country will be
backing them.
It's a dream draw for Cork or Shelboure. Glenmore Celtic home or away
are the team everyone wanted. They won't be easy but you've got to fancy the
winners of tomorrow's replay to reach the semi finals.

Cork City 1 Shelbourne 2 aet
Shelbourne came from behind to defeat Cork City and thus qualified to meet
Glenmore Celtic in the quarter finals of the F.A.I. Cup. Shelbourne
improved considerably on Sunday's performance and were deserving winners.
The game didn't catch fire until the closing stages. Shels had dominated
much of the game but failed to break down a solid home defence. After 77
minutes Anthony Buckley gave Cork the lead and they looked set for victory
until Mark rutherford equalised 3 minutes later to take the game into extra
time. Paul Doolin scored early in extra time and Shels hung on until the
final whistle.
St Pats 1 UCD 0
UCD were unfortunate to lose this cup tie. Left back Pat Kelch was the
Pats hero on Sunday when he snatched a replay and it was the right back
Ian Hill who scored the winner on this occasion. His speculative cross
caught in the wind and deceived forward and defender alike and curled into the
net. Ian Hill was probably the most surprised man in Harolds Cross. The goal
came after 15 minutes and despite some neat football UCD failed to equalise.
Pats now face a difficult trip to Sligo but they will now feel that their name
may be on the cup.
Bohemians 2 Dundalk 4
There were six goals, 2 sendings off and lots of controversy to keep the
crows entertained at Dalymount Park on Wednesday night. Tony O'Connor
gave Bohs an early lead but Bohs were unable to match the physical strength
of Dundalk. The game exploded into life early in the second half. Terry
Eviston equalised and then Bohs had alan Byrne sent off. Gino Lawless
gave Dundalk the lead and Tom McNulty made it 3 minutes later. Dundalk also
finished with 10 men. tommy Fitzgerald and Peter Hanrahan exchanged injury
time goals to end a cracking contest.
Home Farm 0 Limerock 0 aet
The most exciting part of the proceedings at Whitehall was the toss to decide
who'd have home advantage for the second replay. Ray O'Halloran called
correctly and Limerck will have the advantage. The game itself was very
poor and the small crowd did not get value for money. At the end both sides
were relieved to still be in the cup but it may take a penalty shoot out to
settle the tie. John Smith had the only chance of note when he hit the inside
of the post. In truth neither side ever looked like or deserved to win. The
only solace for the small band of visiting supporters was that we won the toss
and we won't have to return to Whitehall next wednesday.

Wayne Cooney scored from a 56th minute free kick to give Dundalk both points
at Rathbane. This was Dundalk's third 1-0 victory over Limerick this season
and it ws fully deserved. Limerick rested 3 players due to Wednesday's cup
replay.
Padraig Dully played the role of supersub as Shelbourne pulled off a smash and
grab raid on Cork City at Bishopstown. Cork led through Johnny Glynn's
15th minute goal and indeed would have made the game safe but for some superb
goalkeeping from Jody Byrne. Dully snatched a 79th minute equaliser and he
pounced 3 minutes from time to give Shelbourne an unlikely and extremely
fortunate victory.
Bohemians and Derry shared 2 goals and 2 points at Dalymount. Tony O'Connor
gave Bohs a 5th minute lead when Dermot O'Neill fluffed a simple cross. Stuart
Guald equalised 5 minutes later from the penalty spot. Paul Curran almost
won it for Derry late in the game when his header came back off the bar but
a draw was the right result.
Derek McGrath snatched a vital late winner to ease Shamrock Rovers' relegation
fears. Swan had given Rovers an early lead but Jason Byrne quickly
equalised. Noel Reaid scored the only goal as Drogheda defeated Sligo while
Pat Dolan and Christy McElligott were among the goals as Pats hammered
Waterford.

| 11.267 | Shels for the double ????????? | SIOG::DAWSON | | Mon Mar 15 1993 13:01 | 18 |

Great week for Shels ..
Who would have thought they would beat Cork twice away from home
in the one week .Especially going behind in each match .
Four weeks ago shels were 5 or 6 points behind Bohs in the league
and after seeing Bohs play i,d thought they would win most of their
remaining matchs but it,s a funny old game and now Shelbourne could
possibly win the double ...
I spoke to a taxi-man who follows Shels and if they win the league this
year he will win 6000 pounds (if we are to believe a taxi-man).
Glenmore in the next round and you,d have to fancy Shels making the
semi,s
Cheers

It's a great pity that Cork were beaten by Shels yesterday. I was
hoping that Cork would win the league as my good friend and house mate Johnny
Glynn plays with them and he scored an Aldo like cracker yesterday only to
be denied by two flukey Dully goals late in the game. Still there are three
teams level at the top with just four games left. Cork have two home and two
away.
Meanwhile I was at Terryland yesterday to see Galway Utd. stroll to a 4-0
win against a pathetic St. James Gate. Two crackers by another friend of mine
and former work colleague John "Jumbo" Brennan sealed a great victory. The
other goals came from Peter "Cappie" Carpener and John Kenny while the back
four excelled with a great performance from Gerek "Buckser" Rogers. So Galway
should win the championship outright in their next outing.

I am looking extremely forward to the climax of the league season in
Ireland, both the first division and the Premier as I have two friends and
house mates involved. In the premier, there is Johnny Glynn with Cork City
and they are level with two other teams at the top with four games to go.
I really hope that Cork do it this time having missed out recently in league
and cup success.
At the top of division one, there is Galway Utd. with a good lead and they
hammered St. Jame's Gate 4-0 last Sunday. One man who holds the fort together
is Derek "Buck" Rogers, a commanding defender who likes to go forward and
attack. He secretly would also like to take the penalties and corner kicks,
free kicks, etc.
I suppose I can take some of the credit for their respective successes as I
mentally prepare them for their games by teaching them to "get their heads
on" as we call it. I try to get them in the right frame of mind by reminding
them of Ronnie Whelan & THE GREAT ALDO.
When Galway get promoted to the premier, I will start training with them
next season if all goes well and hopefully break into the first team, so I
better start practicing my "check & go's" as soon as possible.
Yes I think we will have two league medals coming into the house very
shortly and who knows, maybe three next year.

sharing a house with Martian !! :-)
Put your hands down Martin........
Never thought I'd agree with a Cunno note, but I too hope Cork go all
the way in the league (I'm a born & bred Corkonian).
What ever about football (and they're certainly not as successful as the
Cork teams of the 70's) they certainly know how to enjoy themselves as
witnessed here in Munich last year after the Bayern game.

F.A.I. Cup 2nd replay
Limerick 1 Home Farm 0
Limerick qualified to meet Dundalk in the F.A.I. Cup quarter finals by
defeating Home Farm 1-0 at Rathbane. The first half was a dour affair with
Limerick failing to break down a solid and well organised Home Farm defence.
Albert Finnan almost gave Limerick the lead early in the game. Goalkeeper
Gary McCormack missed a cross and Finnan blazed wide of an open goal. Four
minutes after the interval the breakthrough came. Howie King passed to Peter
Mumby who controlled the ball well, composed himeself and scored with a 15
yard drive. Home Farm did come into the game after that but they never
really threatened. Peter Mumby did hit a post late in the game.
Leinster Cup Final
Bohemians 1 Shamrock Rovers 0
A large crowd witnessed a disappointing Leinster Cup final at Dalymount
yesterday. Pat Fenlon score dthe only goal after 74 minutes to gives Bohs
victory. Bohs devalued the competition by fielding several reserves but
they were still too strong for a full strength Rovers side.
|
| 11.274 | Disappointing...never! | REOSV1::ONEILLS | | Fri Mar 19 1993 16:11 | 16 |
| Gary,
I would never refer to Bohs defeating Rovers as disappointing. I am sure Rayo
would appreciate your comments about reserves! I don't quite understand how
fielding 11 players fit to do the job on the day qualifies as a devaluation.
If that's all it takes to beat Rovers, so be it.
Now beating the other southside team is another matter! I suspect the league
may end up back on the southside if current form is anything to go by.
The big question is whether Bohs or Cork have the bottle!

Shane,
How long have you been away??? Are you referring to Shelbourne as
a Southside team? Liam Dawson will have plenty to say about that!!
The Bohs are beginning to look a bit shaky in the League, but nobody can say
it isn't exciting stuff...
Fingers crossed, but it will go to the last match.

I can understand the problems Bohs have in that they're challenging for
the title but it's sad to see a famous old competition devalued. Bohs
did not play a full strength side. They did likewise in the league cup
tie v Pats. The fact that Bohs won just shows the depths to which
Rovers have sunk.
Bohs aren' the only culprits. Most sides do it. I remember Limerick
sending down a reserve side (in the days when we had a reserve side
:-)) to Waterfordand beating them 2-0 in the shield on Stephens Day
1983. 2 days later we made 10 changes, they made none and we scraped a
lucky 1-0 win at the Markets Field.
Maybe the Leinster Cup could be played earlier in the season.
Gary.

Gary,
I have never heard anyone refer to challenging for the title being a problem
before -:) The fact they won the games to which you refer points to strength
of squad.
Mick,
Are you losing the run of yourself. Stay out of the HUT.
Having worked for several years in Irishtown (not Ringsend), I know where
Shels "roots" reside. Just because punter has the dosh to buy Drums ground
doesn't change anything.

Derry and Limerick shared 2 goals after a reasonably entertaining game at the
Brandywell. Derry used the strong breeze to dominate the first half.
Donal O'Brien shot wide with the goal at his mercy. John Bacon and Paul
Mooney also missed good chances. Limerick did not show much adventure in
the first half but were a different team after the break. Derry lost their way
and looked a very ragged side. After 66 minutes Peter Mumby scored from
20 yards to silence the large home contingent. This goal woke Derry from
their sleep and they lay siege to the Limerick goal. After 73 minutes Paul
Curran beat 2 players and passed to John Bacon who drove home the equaliser.
This point dropped is a major blow to Derry's title hopes and on the basis
of yesterday's performance they don't like like cjhampionship winning material.
Bohemians and Shelbourne also drew. This was a game full of excitment and
controversy. It's a game referee John Purcell will want to forget. Anto
Whelan headed Shels into a 52nd minute lead. Shelbourne roared back, Tony
O'Connor punched home the equaliser. The referee gave the goal but then
disallowed it after consulting with a linesman. Bohs then got a free kick
outside the area. The referee failed to send off the goalkeeper Jody Byrne for
a professional foul much to the disgust of the home fans. Pat Fenlon then
curled the free kick into the right hand corner. Referee John Purcell then
ordered the free kick to be retaken. Pat Fenlon duly obliged by curling
it into the l;eft hand corner and Boehmians got the point they deserved.
Cork City held on for a point at Oriel Park despite constant pressure from
the home side. Noel O'Mahoney was by far the happier of the 2 managers
at the final whistle.
Bray and St Pats disappointed the fans at the Carlisle grounds. This game had
0-0 written all over it from an early stage. Drogheda stuffed Shamrock
Rovers at the RDS. Colm Tresson gave them the lead after 15 minutes and
Barry O'Connor followed up with 2 against his old club. Sligo dominated
the first half at the Showgrounds and took the lead through a John Byrne
volley. Darren Lonergan equalised on 74 minutes as Waterford took control in
the second period.

F.A.I. Cup Quarter final results
Dundalk 2 Limerick 0
Glenmore 0 Shelbourne 6
Derry City 2 Shamrock Rovers 1
Sligo Rovers 1 St Pats 2
Limerick bowed out of the F.A.I. Cup at Oriel Park. The first half was a
close tense affair with both sides having chances to take the lead. Referee
Oliver Cooney kept a close eye on a game that was never far from boiling
over. The breakthrough came just after the interval. Wayne Cooney shot
from 20 yards, John Grace stopped the shot but failed to hold the ball and
Brian Irwin was first to the rebound. Limerick threw caution to the wind
after that and deployed centre-half Ray Duffy at centre forward. The home
side was always in control though and only an attempted backheader by Martin
Lawlor caused Alan O'Neill any problems. Terry Eviston scored the clincher
after 83 minutes when he was left unmarked at the near post.
Paul Traynor broke the hearts of Shamrock Rovers fans with a last minute
winner at the Brandywell. Rovers improved considerably on recent performances.
Paul Cullen scored for Rovers after 22 minutes but Mark Ennis equalised minutes
later. Paul Cullen almost snatched a late winner for Rovers but then they were
denied a replay by Traynor's late strike.
Gary Haylock with 3 and Padraig Dully with 2 were among the goals as Shelbourne
hammered Leinster league side Glenmore Celtic. St Pats comfortably disposed
of Sligo despite a late Denis Bonner header.
Jason Byrne kept alive Bray's slender hopes of avoiding the drop with the
winner in Drogheda.
Galway clinched promotion and the first division title with a 1-0 victory
in Athlone. UCD and Monaghan both drew and are locked in second place. They
meet next week in Monaghan. Cobh drew with Kilkenny to remain a point
adrift.

A Good training session in Tolka Park last sunday ,Thats what the
papers said about the Shels vs Glenmore match .
It wasn,t that easy but a highly entertaining match which brought
out the best in Shelbourne.Glenmore played nice attractive football
but where caught napping at the back a few times .
No matter who the opposition are you have to score to win and Haylock
banged in a hatrick ,Dully got two after coming on with only twenty
minutes left and Doolin got the other.Both haylock and Dully could
have scored more.No giant killing at Tolka but Glenmore played better
than some LOI teams i have seen this year.
So Derry in the Semi,s and Pat Byrne is in the papers saying it should
be played at a neutral venue even though Shels were drawn at home.
He should keep quiet or maybe moan about it after they beat Derry.
Limerick away on sunday and i,m toying around with the idea of going.
Sure if i dont i,m sure i,d get an unbiased report from Gary ..

Shelbourne remain level on points at the top of the league after a late late
show at Rathbane. With 10 minutes remaining former Limerick player Peter
Coyle headed in a corner. Within a minute Mark Rutherford had set up Padraig
Dully for number 2.
Bohemians virtually ended Cork City's title challenge with a 2-0 victory
at Dalymount. Paul Whelan headed Bohs into a first half lead on 35 minutes.
Pat Fenlon made the game safe after 76 minutes when he converted a penalty.
Dave Tilson had been fouled in the box. Bohs now face 2 difficult away ties
so Shelbourne must be marginal favourites for the title.
Derry kept alive their faint hopes by beating Dundak 1-0. Donal O'Brien
got the only goal in the first half.
Stephen Geoghegan got a priceless late winner to ease Shamrock Rovers'
relegation worries. Waterford climbed out of the bottom 2 by beating
Drogheda despite having goalkeeper Martin Quinlavin sent off.

| Gary,
Do you have the remaining fixtures...surely with Limerick out of the way
Shelbourne have no easy fixtures left either! Anything can still happen as
there are still 4 teams in with a chance of the title and 5 with a chance
to qualify for Europe.
Is a playoff still "the rule" if teams finish level on points?
I think goal difference is fairer -:)

Shane,
Bohs face trips to Limerick (Wed) and Dundalk on Sunday.
Shels entertain Dundalk and Derry.
Derry travel to Cork and Shels.
Noel O'Mahoney conceded yesterday.
>Is a playoff still "the rule" if teams finish level on points?
Yes.
>I think goal difference is fairer -:)
This has nothing to do with the fact that Bohs have asuperior goal
difference. :-)
Shels must be marginal favourites bit it really depends on who can keep
their nerve.

A Few weeks ago i handed the title to Bohs ,They were playing well and
looked unbeatable .What happens next !! They start losing and drawing
games .Remember they were 7 points ahead of Shels not too long ago.
Shelbourne stuck to their task well and after beating cork twice in
a week I think that was the turning point.I was a bit worried about
them travelling to rathbane to play Limerick thinking they may only
get a draw but they scored two (even if they were late on in the game).
Their win over Glenmore did their confidence no-end of good and now
i cant see them being beaten.Dundalk at home on thurday and Derry
at home on sunday .Bohs play their last two matchs away.Shels have
got a slight advantage.
If they are equal on points there will be a play-off,but where ???
If it,s in Dalyer Bohs will win it but if it,s at Tolka Shels will..
I hope i,m not counting my chicken,s but With Dully on top form and
Haylock scoring too it,s looking good to retain their title ,
Dare I say the double beakons and I wont be sober for a Week ,,,,
Cheers
Liam

| Gary,
Any truth in the rumour that Limerick will be under strength for tonight's match?
How could you be termed a Limerick fan if you miss the most important game
they play this season!! Historically, winning at Oriel hasn't been a problem
for Bohs over the last ten years.
Liam,
It's tight at the top...don't count out Derry...if they beat Shels they can pass
them out. They also have the second meanest defence in the league.
That's what I call incentive.
If it's a play off they should go for the RDS and educate the neglected soccer
fans on the southside. The Rovers fans deserve to see some decent teams - even if
one of them contains many of their old buddies who sold out to the highest
bidder.
Playing tonight is a great advantage to step up the pressure for Bohs. If they
win it's all in Dundalk's hands. Will Turly and his band of former Bohs players
concede easilyt to Shels and their band of Ex-Rovers! /manager as Shels have
Rovers rejects). Think about it...Turly's heart is still in Dalyer.

Bohemians emphasised the seriousness of their title challenge with a 2-0
victory in Limerick. It took Bohs 79 minutes to break down the home defence
but their victory was fully merited. Tommy Fitzgerald escaped down the wing
and crossed for Pat Fenlon to score. One minute from the end Tommy Fitzgerald
made a similar run and crossed for Dave Tilson to make the game safe.
Cork City ended Derry's hopes with a dramatic late winner. Johnny Glynn gave
Cork the lead on 70 minutes. Donal O'Brien equalised with 4 minutes left only
for John Caulfield to snatch victory right at the death.
A Padriag Moran goal gave a great boost to Sligo's hopes of avoiding the drop.

Shels destiny is in their own hands tonight ,even if they draw it is
still down to the wire ,but obviously they will go for a win .
Shelbourne beat Dundalk 4-1 already this season at home but lost
twice to them away so it,s anyone,s game really.
Strangly enough Even if Shelbourne do the double it wouldn,t console
me if Everton were relegated .
Come on the Shels .........

Brian Irwin has become an unlikely Bohemians hero. He scored after 39
minutes last night to severely damage Shelbourne's title prospects. Shels

It was an extraordinary day in the league of Ireland. Bohs needed a point
in Dundalk to take the title. Cork and Shels both had to win and hope
Bohs lost to earn a playoff. Both duly won and Bohs did lose so a three
way playoff will now decide the issue. There was quite a lot of controversy
behind these stories though.
All three games were due to start at 3.30. The Bohemians bus broke down before
it got out of Dublin. This was a total farce as Dundalk is only 50 miles
up the road and they ended up arriving almost 50 minutes late. Shelbourne
and Cork were offered the chance at 3.15 to defer their kickoffs. Shels duly
kicked off at 3.30 realising that there was no advantage in waiting. Cork
announced that they were delaying their kickoff much to the fury of both
sets of supporters. The game eventually kicked off at 4pm, 17 minutes before
the game in Dundalk.
Cork went a goal up after 2 minutes through Johnny Glynn. Limerick then
dominated for 20 minutes, had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside
before Pat Morley made it 2-0 against the run of play. That was the end
of Limerick's challenge and Cork took complete control. 30 minutes gone and
all interest was on the radio, even for the Limerick fans. It was still
scoreless at Oriel Park and Tolka and while this would have given Bohs the
league it would at least have guaranteed Cork a UEFA spot. 15 minutes into
a non-descript second half the news came through from Tolka that Paul Doolin
had scored a last minute winner for Derry. Bishopstown erupted as Cork
celebrated qualifying for Europe. "Lets go continental" was sung but the
party lasted 30 seconds when the anews came through that it was Shelbourne
who had scored the last minute winner thus denying Cork a UEFA spot on
goal difference. Paul Doolin is now of course a Shelbourne player. Cormac
Cotter made it 3-0 to lift some of the gloom but the announcements kept
relaying the bad news from Oriel Park. Cork cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win.
I was already on the road home at this stage but with about 20 minutes
left at Oriel Park (2 minutes from time at Bishopstown) Tom McNulty scored
with a 20 yard drive to give Dundalk the lead. Dundalk duly held on to win
and Cork were given a last minute reprieve.
It was a disastrous day for Bohemians. Their bus broke down in Whitehall.
They arrived late. Referee Oliver Cooney denied them 2 first half penalties.
TV evidence suggests that both were very clearcut penalties. In the second
half Declan Geoghegan allowed the ball to run for a goal kick. Oliver Cooney
decided he touched it and awarded a corner. The corner was cleared to Tom
McNulty who scored from the edge of the box. TV evidence suggests that
Oliver Cooney was again in error.
Sligo Rovers were relegated after failing to score against Shamrock Rovers.
Needing a win to survive Sligo's old problem of scoring goals came back to
haunt them. The game ended scoreless and to compond their woe their 2 rivals
both won. Barry O'Connor's 12th minute goal gave Drogheda a fortunate
victory over Pats while Brian Arrigan scored after 40 minutes to earn Waterford
a playoff spot.
Monaghan will meet Waterford in the playoffs as they came from behind to defeat
Finn Harps. A Jason Lynch goal gave Cobh Ramblers the promotion spot as they
defeated UCD at Belfield.

| Gary,
What way will the playoffs be decided? Will it be home & away, neutral
venue, or just toss for venue?
Pity about Dundalk on Sunday, although it was a great day out for the fans
(particularly before the match!). I passed the broken down coach in Whitehall,
not realising that it was the team coach. Apparently the team couldn't even get
off the bus, as the hydraulics were gone, so even the doors would not operate!
Question marks about safety there! The team had to go back to Dalymount to
collect cars to drive to Dundalk.
Here's hoping for the playoffs, although my money would now be on Cork. Bohs
seem to be off-form, although they did not deserve to lose on Sunday.
Michael.

| 11.294 | | REOSV1::ONEILLS | | Tue Apr 13 1993 14:42 | 24 |
| Yes, a disasterous day for Bohs with a capital "D". I passed Whitehall
crossroads at approx 2.30 and was amazed to see fitst Alan Byrne and Paul Whelan and
upon a closer look the whole Bohs team standing in the cold with the bus
100 yards up the road. Not what you would call ideal preparations (or indeed
organisation) for the most important game of the season. Even the supporters
buses left earlier.
ANyhoe Dundalk won the day and frankly Bohs never got going despite some strange
refereeing decisions. My father works with the self same gentleman who has always
been Bohs least favourite referee...he should have gone to Croker to see his
native county get stuffed again!
There also appears to be a rift between Turlough O'Connor
and Eamonn Gregg, team mates on the last successful Bohs league winning team.
It probably goes back to the failure of the Tony O'Connell coup to bring Turly
back to Dalymount with Eamonn Gregg being appointed m,anager.
ANyhow fair play to Cork and Shels...anything can still happen but I fear Bohs
confidence must be severly dented. What on earth wil happen for the UEFA spot?
Do Bohs get it on goal difference similar to how promotion was decided in the
first division? The LOI face some interesting permutations to get out of this
one!!

League of Ireland playoff - minileague.
Cork City 1 Bohemians 0
Cork City won the first of the round robin series of games to decide the
league title. Pat Morley's 48th minute strike separated the sides at
Bishopstown. Dave Tilson squandered Bohemians' best opportunity three minutes
after the goal but Cork were worthy winners. Alan Byrne was sent off 18
minutes from the end ending any faint hope sof a comeback. Byrne had been
booked for dissent in the first half and he was dismissed for disputing
another refereeing decision.
F.A.I. Cup Semi Finals
Shelbourne 0 Derry City 0
Derry got a well deserved replay after playing out a scoreless draw at Tolka.
Shels began the game as if they were going to swamp the candystripes but
Derry gradually came into the game and finished the stronger sid ein the first
half. Frantic second half pressure failed to yield a winner with Padriag
Dully being the main culprit.
Dundalk 1 St Pats 0
Martin Lawlor scored a rare but very valuable goal after 68 minutes to
ensure Dundalk's trip to Lansdowne Road. Pats had the better of the opening
half forcing 7 corners without reply. They were denied a penalty when the
referee failed to notice James Coll hauling down Paul Campbell in the box.
Lawlor scored the only goal when he met Wayne Cooney's corner with a superb
header.
Relegation playoff 1st leg
Waterford 2 Monaghan 2
Waterford and Monaghan shared 4 goals in a thriller at Kilcohan Park.
Waterford dominated the first half and led at the break thanks to a 13th
minute strike from Kevin Kelly. 5 minutes into the second half Brian Arrigan
was dismissed for deliberate handball on the goal-line. Mickey Wilson
converted the resultant penalty to level the scores. Melvin then gave
Monaghan the lead after 71 minutes but the 10 men fought back and John Power
snatched a late equaliser. Pascal Keane almost won it in the dying seconds
shooting just past the post.

Well a week is a long time in football eh !!!!!
I have been on holiday since holy thursday and have gone thru some
mixed emotions since then .
First on thursday night Dundalk beat us at home ,I have never been
so nervous at a game as were my mates who go to the games with me
(butterflies etc in the stomach ).This transfered onto the pitch
and it was never so apparent before .Shels bottled it and lost
1-0 .This put Bohs 2 points ahead with only one match to play..
The rest,as the say in the best tradition,is history ...
I again went to tolka park on sunday to see Shels Clinch a match
in the last minute from a Paul Doolin Goal.We knew about the Bohs
bus and suspected something sinister ,We got the Cork result over the
tannoy but consoled ourselves by at least by getting into Europe next
year .I didnt go for a pint after the match (breaking a much loved
tradition)but went home to listen to the Radio.Then the unbelivable
happened Dundalk took the lead and held out to beat the Bohs...
Safe to say I had a few pints that night and the craic was ninty..
The playoffs have begun and Cork beat the bohs 1-0 ,Shels play bohs
on sunday in tolka .
And in the middle of all that there was the cup match last sunday
It was a better match than the previous sunday with Jodi Byrne making
some fine saves ,Shels were missing Gary Howlett and it showed ,Paul
Doolin did well in midfield but Greg Costello is a donkey ...
The best chances came when he was replaced by Ken O Doherty who won
good possesion for Dully to come close on three occassions ..Derry,s
best chance came when a long clearance from defence sent their centre
forward racing clear with only Byrne to beat but the ref called back
play for a free to Derry ???
So the replay is in the Brandywell tonight and it,s anyone,s game ..
Cheers
Liam
p.s. A special mention to the Derry fans last sunday ,all four thousand
of them and full of criac who really made the atmosphere..There was
only about a thousand Shels fans at oriel park last year to see Shels
lift the league trophy..

What i forgot to mention was a big blow to Shels double hopes is
the injury news to Gary Howlett ,He has ankle ligament trouble and
it is reported in todays Irish Times that he will miss the rest of
the Season.This will be a big Blow to Shelbourne ......
They have only a small squad of fifteen and that includes Pat Bryne

F.A.I. Cup semi Final
Derry City 2 Shelbourne 3
Shelbourne qualified to meet Dundalk in the F.A.I. cup final after
overcoming Derry City at the Brandywell. Paul Carlyle gave Derry the
lead after 15 minutes when he scored with a 25 yard free kick. The
lead lasted 4 minutes. anto Whelan stole in on the blind side of the
defence and volleyed past O'Neill. This silenced the large crowd and
Shelbourne took the lead just before the break through Haylock.
Derry had the better of midfield tussle throughout and equalised
through Mark ennis 20 minutes into the second half. Gary Haylock
snatched a slightly fortunate winner 15 minutes from the end. Paul
Traynor was sent off in the last minute for a second bookable offence
and thus compounding Derry's misery.

Championship playoff
Shelbourne 1 Cork City 0
Yes again the referee was the centre of attention at Tolka Park. Cork had
comfortably weathered Shelbourne's first half efforts. In first half inhury
time Paul Doolin headed a corner goalwards. It was cleared off the line but
referee Denis McArdle awarded a goal. All hell broke loose, Pat Morley was
sent off because of his protestations. Cork are absolutely adamant that the
ball didn't cross the line and the radio reporter agrees. I'll have to wait
for TV evidence though. In the second half Cork dominated despite having only
10 men. Johnny Gylnn thought he'd lvelled the game when he headed past Jody
Byrne but he was denied by a goal-line clearance. Padriag Dully of Shelbourne
was sent off for an off the ball incident in the last minute but by then the
points were secure.

Relegation Playoff
Monaghan Utd 3 Waterford Utd 0 (Monaghan win 5-2 on aggregate)
The film critic in the Phoenix described Madonna's latest blockbuster as
"less erotic than a relegation playoff in the League of Ireland". Well,
I haven't walked the 200 hundred yards to my local cinema to see the film but
I did drive to Monaghan today and the guys in the dirty raincoats would have
been very disappointed. This was a dour affair with the tension very
evident. Waterford needed to win and did most of the pressing. They failed
to break down a solid home defence and goalkeeper Chippy Devlin had a quiet
afternoon in the home goal. As the game progressed Waterford became more and
more desperate. After 66 minutes Chippy Devlin launched a long kick, Philip
Power headed on and Mick Byrne scored from 16 yards. 9 minutes later Philip
Power headed in a free kick at the near post and the party began. Noel
Melvin made it 3 with 4 minutes left and the locals forgot the tedious hour
that preceded this rout.

McArdle,the ref ,ruined this match as a contest .But from the
start the Cork players were bickering among them selves especially
the goalkeeper.So all Shelbourne had to do was play around and Cork
would beat themselves.
The goal came in injury time in the first half,controversy abound.
Bannon ,the cork centre-half ,was down injured at the half-way line.
Mark Rutherford ,hurried by the referee to get on with the game ,took
the corner and Doolin headed in after a scramble in the goal.It
definitly crossed the line ,in fact I,d say it was at least a foot over
the line.Pat Morley was sent off for running after and grabbing the ref
and protesting.I dont think he was protesting the goal but the fact
that their man was down injured at the time.Very Harsh ...
The booking total at half time was 3 yellow one red for Cork ,one
yellow for Shels .
Cork took the game to shels in the second-half with the introduction
of Dave Barry (why didnt he start the match ???).But in the last twenty
minutes shels had all the play and ran out easy winners.
Refereeing is a hard job but MCARdle is a brutal ref ,didn,t he send
Gary Howlett off in Dalymount against Bohs this season ,it was his
first time ever getting sent off,I believe Morley was never sent off
before either.
So shels top the play-off group but there is a lot of games to be
played yet ..
Cheers

p.s I wont mention the double is on just yet ............

| Back to square 1. On a crackling RTE reception, Bohs came back from 1
down to beat Shels 2-1 with goals from Fitzgerald and King. Ken
O'Doherty was sent off just before half time, after Mick Neville had
given Shels the lead. According to the report, Dave Tilson was back to
full form.
Now does that put Bohs on top on goals scored or maybe alphabetical
order -:)

Bohemians 2 Shelbourne 1
It's all square again in the playoffs. Bohs came from behind to defeat
10 man Shelbourne and thus rekindle their championship hopes.
Gary Haylock gave Shels an 18th minute lead and they dominated fro much
of the first half. The turning point came just before the break. Ken
O'Doherty, who was already booked, got a red card for elbowing Tommy
Byrne in the face.
Bohs took full advantage in the second half. Tommy Fitzgerald finished
off a 3 man move involving Robbie Best and Dave Tilson just after the
break. Lee King made it 2-1 4 minutes later. Mick Neville almost
equalised with a 40 yard pile-driver but it wasn't to be Shelbourne's
night.
Bohs 2 1 0 1 2 2 2
Shels 2 1 0 1 2 2 2

Cork City 1 Shelbourne 1
Bobby Browne scored a priceless 87th minute equaliser to keep alive
Shelbourne's title hopes. Dave Barry had given Cork a 6th minute lead and
they seemed set for victory when Browne struck. Shels probably deserved their
equaliser after pounding the Cork goal for the whole second half but it
was a heartbreaker for the Cork fans who have seen their side falter at the
last hurdle on so many occasions in recent years.

I missed the match in dalymount last thursday (working late blah !!)but
from all accounts Shelbourne were robbed ...
Shels were well in control in the first half and then O Doherty (his
first cousin works here in dec ) gets sent off .Da Bohs scored two
quick goals after half time and the match was over .
Great result in cork ,considering shels injury crisis,with Bobby
,the dazzler,Brown cracking in an equalizer with three minutes to go.
So it should be over this weekend ????????
I might stroll down to dalymount tomorrow night ,just to put a curse on
Da Bohs ,Whatever the outcome Shels have to beat Da Bohs on saturday
night at tolka ,,No mean feat but it should be a cracker anyway .
Come on the Shels ....

Re -1, I think Pat Fenlon is back.
Shels have 3 or 4 players suspended for Saturday night. They'll hardly
appeal as then they'll the cup final. If Bohs can beat Cork you've got
to fancy them to get a point at Tolka.
Still another 3 way playoff would be nice.

Well it worked ,the choice of doing the garden or going to dalymount
was a close decision but dalymount won by a slight head ..
It is strange going to a match ,hoping that noone would win or even
score but i met up with some other Shels fans and we had good craic.
And of course the result was exactly what we wanted ..
I wont give a report suffice to say both teams cancelled each other
out until the last fifteen minutes where both teams had chances to win
Cork proably having the better ,Dave Barry almost walked the ball into
the net but it went just wide and Bannon ,at centre forward,(about as
good as Doherty for shels upfront) miss kicked what was a clear chance.
So it,s all down to Saturday night at tolka when whom ever wins
the match wins the league ,a draw will start the whole play-off,s over
again and leaves the L.O.I with egg all over their face ....
I wish the F#&* the league would use the english formuala and stick
with it instead of chopping and changing every year or two ..
does anyone remember the 4 points for an away win ,two points for a
score draw etc etc a joke really
Cheers

Bohemians 0 Cork City 0
Both sides cancelled each other out at Dalymount last night. This was
a very poor game and the result was predictable. Bohemains tried to
break down Cork by sheer weight of numbers but they failed miserably.
Pat Fenlon and Dvae Tilson lacked their usual guile and it was Cork who
finished the stronger side.
Another draw on Saturday night between Bohs and Shels will mean another
playoff. If there is a winner at Tolka they'll be the champions.
Cork 4 1 2 1 2 2 4
Bohs 3 1 1 1 2 2 3

| re .312
Liam,
I agree that they should stick with the English system, especially goal
difference -:) On a serious note this whole set up is a farce. The English
system of 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw is about the best available in
that it rewards teams who play to win (rather than draw). I think Cork would
have done well under this system ?
On to Saturday...what's the position on the suspended players? Hopefully the decent
surface will help Bohs!

The LoI have decided to hold the Shelbourne suspensions until next
season. This is a joke. The players picked up the points in the
F.A.I. Cup semi final. They should be punished. They've also held
over Tom McNulty's suspension so he can now play at Lansdowne.
Bohs and Cork will be furious at this and they have every right to be.

Gary and Shane
you are both right ,suspensions are suspensions but you cant blame
shelbourne for using what options are available.
Shane Shelbourne would have qualified for europe if the league
had used the english system now they might not..Cork might sneak in.
Where,s the justice there ????
Anyway qualifying for europe for league of Ireland clubs is an
expensive business for the clubs because they never get passed the
first round and never make a profit out of it..
Roll on saturday night ,I still think though that Shelbourne will
really miss Howlett ,but just how much we will find out.
Has O Doherty beeen cleared for the final ???

GARY You make it sound so terrible..
The match was a cracker ..Shels ran riot on Da Bohs ,only bad finishing
from shelbourne (especially Gary Haylock whocould have had a hatrick)
and brilliant goal-tending by Henderson kept this match 0-0.
There was a huge crowd 9,000 or so at tolka and the atmosphere was
great.Shelbourne started very well and never really let up on da bohs.
A few heart-stopping moments when Tilson broke free from the half-way
line with a one on one with Jodi Bryne only to be hauled back for
offside also a free kick just outside the box from Tilson which brought
a great save from Bryne who did well to hold it.Other than that it was
all shels .Bobby Brown had a blinder and was unlucky with two attempts
which henderson pulled off great saves ,Haylock could and proably
should have had a hatrick ,especially one from inside the box with only
the keeper to beat but he vollied over the bar .Right up to the last
minute with the ball bobbling around Da Bohs box just waiting for a
shels touch but again Henderson diving at O Doherty,s feet to make a
fine save (despite me and a few thousand shouting for a penalty).
So we are back to square one ,The latest news is that Shelbourne won
the toss and will play both Bohs and Cork at the RDS while bohs will
travel to Turners cross,cork ,to play that match.I heard a rumour that
penalties will be included if there is no result after extra time but
this is still only a rumour.
Cheers

The League of Ireland made a rare good decision last night when scheduling the
playoffs. Having decided that the 3 games would be played at neutral venues
most non Dubliners assumed that this would mean 3 games in Dublin. Well
they scheduled one game for Turners Cross in Cork.
19/5 Cork City v Bohemians Turners Cross 6.30pm
22/5 Shelbourne v Cork City RDS (may be moved to Dalymount) 3.30pm
27/5 Bohemians v Shelbourne RDS 6.30pm
Should the F.A.I. Cup final end in a draw the Shels v Cork game will be played
on 27/5 and the Shels v Bohs gasme on 30/5.
|
| 11.322 | Are you really neutral? | REOSV1::ONEILLS | | Fri May 14 1993 11:40 | 16 |
| Gary,
Is Turner's Cross a neutral venue? I though Cork used it as a home venue this
year and that it was their home venue until recently? How about Cobh if one game
should be in Cork which seems fair. I suspect the quality of the pitch is also
better there as Turners Cross was always a boggy field with a slope and dreadful
facilities which haven't changed since my old man scored the winner for Bohs Vs
Cork there back in the 40s. Even then, they used the hotel rather than change in a
pig sty. In contrast, St Colman's Park in Cobh is a beautifully appointed
ground. But then CObh is to Cork what RDS is to Bohs...home of the enemy within.
Shane
|
| 11.323 | 3 games in Athlone? | GALVIA::SPAIN | There's always the U.S. | Fri May 14 1993 15:18 | 17 |

Cork played one game at Turners Cross - lost 1-0 to Limerick. It was
their home venue last year. I think the pitch in Turners Cross is
fine. There's no slope there. The MFA have spent a lot of money on
the ground and the facilities have improved, St Colmans Park is no
better than TC and would mean a 15 mile journey for Cork fans. This
would hit the attendance considerably. Cork will have an advantage
anyway but then Shels will have an advantage over Cork in the RDS.
Unless you played all 3 games in Athlone (or Limerick :-)) you couldn't
be totally fair.
Anyway I seem to remember a certain side from north of the river
enjoying home advantage in 2 cup finals in the early 80's. And we
still beat you. :-)
Gary.

| 11.324 | | SIOG::FITZPATRICK | | Fri May 14 1993 15:25 | 13 |
| Well, whatever about travelling to Cork, I certainly think that
it would make much better sense for the Bohs v Shels match to be
played at either Tolka or Dalymount, but not that kip RDS.
The atmosphere in Tolka last Saturday was tremendous. While Bohs were
lucky to escape with a draw, I don't think any Bohs supporter
would object to playing Shels in Tolka again (Bohs outnumbered
Shels supporters by about four to one).
Anyway, it looks like there'll be no need for pre-season training
for Bohs, Shels or Cork, for next season!

I suprised you made it to Tolka last week considering you wouldn,t
travel across from the hut to dalymount if it was raining.8-)8-)
Seriously thou it was great to see the support in tolka.I estimate
Shelbourne have a core support of about 1,500 and on nice sunny days
or nights this may rise to about 3,000/4,000. depending on the
oppositon.
Roll on sunday for the big showdown at Lansdowne...Cup final Shels

RE-1
OOOPP,S
A Great day was had by all last sunday at Lansdowne when Shelbourne
lifted the FAI cup for the first time in thirty years .A great match
even the Dundalk fans agreed that Shels were the better team on the
day.
The first twenty minutes were all Dundalk but when Shelbourne settled
there was only going to be one winner ...(how,s that for a telespeak).
Shelbourne scored the only goal and the eventual winner from a swift
counter attack move typical of their play this year .Mick Neville
cleared with a long high ball to centre circle where Rutherford
controlled it brilliantly and passed it out to Haylock raiding down
the right wing.He placed a measured cross behind the Dundalk defence
for Costello to bury the header past O Neill who stood no chance ,from
close range .Dundalk pressed forward looking for a equaliser but Whelan
Neville ,Brady and Coyle coped admirally and Shels should have had a
least two more goals squandered by both Haylock and Dully.
No Matter We won and all was forgiven .
Needless to say i had a few beers on it and now the Double is a real
possiblity.
Cork take on Bohs tonight in the first of the second play-off at
turners cross (cork) and it,s a model to be another draw which would
suit us down to the ground.

I've been off sick for a couple of days and apart from missing the cup final I
also discovered that Limerick have lost their manager. Limerick have decided
to part company with manager Noel King due to lack of finance. The club lost
�25,000 last season.
It's a major disappointment to the fans. We're now looking at an all local
side next season and a battle for survival. It's too easy to jump on the
bandwagon and blame the directors. They have put their hands in their pockets
all season and we can't expect them to do the same next term.
Billy Kinnane will probably be offered the managers job but he'll have to
field an all local side.
Pike Rovers and Newcastlewest have applied for membership of the League of
Ireland and if one or both get in there'll be amad scramble for the local
players.

Cork City 1 Bohemians 0
Pat Morley scored the most important goal of his long career last night to
leave Cork on top of the latest playoff table. After 39 minutes of a tense
close encounter Morley latched onto Buckley's pass, rounded Henderson and
scored from a very acute angle.
Bohs had their chances to equalise in the second half. Both Lawless and
Crawford missed gilt edged opportunities. Bohs could have got a penalty
after 68 minutes when DEclan Daly appeared to handle Dave Tilson's shot
but referee Brendan Barry remained steadfast.
A victory for Cork on Saturday will give them the title. A draw will end
Bohemians' hopes and leave Shels an opportunity to force another playoff.

Shelbourne 2 Cork City 3
Cork City are the League of Ireland champions. Their long wait ended at
4.45 pm on Saturday. It was a thrilling finale to the season with City
just about deserving their success.
Cork dominated the early exchanges and Pat Morley headed them into a 20th
minute lead. Shelbourne fought back and equalised just before the break.
Mark Rutherford fell in the box and Shelbourne were awarded a penalty.
This highly controversial decision infuriated the Cork team. Gary
Haylock duly dispatched the spot kick.
Shelbourne were reduced to 10 men early in the second half when Kevin Brady
was dismissed for striking Anthony Buckley. Dave Barry then gave Cork the
lead with a low drive on 55 minutes. Shels appeared to be beaten but they
came back again and Anto Whelan drove through a crowd of players to equalise.
The 10 men tried to hang on but 13 minutes from the end Paul Bannon looped
a header over Jody Byrne and Pat Morley appeared to just steal the goal
before the ball crossed the line.
Cork finally get a major trophy after missing 2 championships and 2 F.A.I.
cups in recent seasons. Considering City won more games than anyone else
in the regular season few will begrudge them their success.
The last game on Thursday is now meaningless. As Cork are the champions
Bohemians are guaranteed the UEFA spot irrespective of whether they
beat Shels to claim runners up. Shels will play in the European Cup
Winners Cup.

A good game for the neutrals ,but ruined by some wicked refereeing
decisions (including the Rutherford penalty incident,except when
i saw it again on tele ,it really was a penalty).
Cork Started brightly but when they went one up ,with a Morley looping
header ,the Shels started playing and it was only a matter of time
before they equailised.Neville should have had a penalty when he
lobbed the cork defence and ran on to his on pass only to be dragged
back by one of the cork defenders by his jersey.
Caulfield let this one go and i suspected he gave Rutherford the
penalty to make up for his first error.
One all at half-time was about right ..Kevin Brady had a rush of blood
early in the second-half and when Buckley waltzed by him he lashed out
and got sent off.This was the turning point ,Brady was STUPID to do
what he had done ,Buckley was in his own half and in no danger to
Shels.
Cork scored the best goal of the match when Morley dummied the ball
with Barry running clear to slot the ball home.There was still time
for Shels to Equailise and Anto Whelan duly obliged after a scramble
in the cork goalmouth ,where a cork defender kicked the ball out of
Harrington,s hands ,only to drop to Whelan who blasted it home .
Shels were hanging on when up popped Bannon ,the most unlikely centre
forward ,to miss-hit a lob over the advancing Jodi Byrne ,Whelan tried
a goalline clearance but pressure from Morley caused the ball to drop
over the line.There was no coming back from this as Shelbourne looked
like a team who were hung-over (and proably were ).
Bobby Brown ,Gary Haylock and Greg Costello barely existed on the pitch
Dully Left the field of play after only 25 minutes and was sorely
missed but fair play to Cork ,they wanted this trophy more than Shels
on the day and deserved to win it ON THE DAY .

(yes Gaddafi etc ) for their summer tour..I woundn,t say the players
are overjoyed at that .
So Da bohs ,Cork and Shels all in europe next season ,Will any of them
get to the second round this time ??? We can always hope ...
Cheers

Keith, Limerickare losing all our Dublin based players. Howie King is
off to Bohs. John Grace is one of a number of goalkeepers been tapped
by Rovers.
Noel King is apparently short-listed for the Glentoran job. That';s an
even bigger one than Rovers or Derry. I suppose they're a slightly
bigger club than us too. :-)

| Gary,
Can you post transfer news? I hear Tony Cousins has returned from Liverpool to
Bohs? Alan Byrne to Rovers with Gino Lawless returning to Dalyer? Funny, the
Independent listed Cousins as joining Middlesboro on a "free"?
Is H.King any good?

Gary Haylock went to Linfield for �35,000. The Belfast papers say
�40,000. Limerick only wanted �10,000 for Barry Ryan despite winning 2
young player of the year awards. Derry refused and now it's going to
tribunal. We should have asked for �30,000. The tribunal fee would
have been �15,000-�20,000. Now it'll inly be �7,000 or �8,000.
John Grace is wanted by Dundalk. Most of our side will split up. It's
going to be a rough season for Limerick.

RTE national radio (huh :-) ) just gace the European draw for Shels and
Bohs. They didn't bother giving the Cork draw as it's only the
European Cup.
Shels meet the Ukranian cup finalists, can't remember their name.
Bohs meet Bordeaux.
Great for Bohs but a bad draw for Shels. Anyonme listening to BBC or

Limerick 2 Limerick United 1
Saw an awful; pre-season friendly where a collection of has-beens from
the 1982 cup side almost beat Limerick. Thankfully a 45 yeard old 17
stone full back left in 2 late goals to ease the embarrassment. A 4
stone a man advantage wasn't enough for the United side.
Anybody see ex LoI referee on UTV today? Erol Sweeney refereed the
United v Arsenal game from Joburg and showed that he is still LoI
standard, terrible penalty decisions, Bryan Robson sent off for
dissent. I'm sure he's sadly missed in Drogheda.

Shelbourne opened their season last night playing against Kilkenny city
in the Leinster senior cup.I was there for the first 90 mins but had my
5-year old with me ,who wanted to go home after the bribe sweets ran
out,so i couldn,t stay for the extra time.
Shelbourne won 1-0 with only three minutes left in extra time,the goal
coming from a Greg Costello penalty.The shels should have wrapped up
the game during the ninty mins but hit the post three times ,had a
couple of shots saved on the line etc .It was a good performance
considering they were missing four players from injury Howlett,
Rutherford ,Dully and Brady and another three from suspension
Neville,Flood and O Doherty.Even Pat Byrne played !!!!
Brain Mooney impressed in the first half but went quiet in the second
But who really impressed me was shels new centre-forward Tony Itchi
(SP) of Italian origin (dont think he,s that long in Ireland)looks
and plays like Schilatchi (sp).
At Least now Shelbourne have a decent squad ,20-odd players ,and
should continue to compete for the league and cup this season..
Cheers

decided not to make available the same level of finance as he had last
season (we lost �20,000). It looks like an all local team.

Limerick are in the papers again this morning (Irish times).The story
goes that the LOI are looking into the finances of the club to see if
they can afford to play .Apparently noone has signed for them yet this
season and your assisant manager ,cant remember his name,has turned
down the job as manager and recommended Noel O Mahony (corks league
winning manager last year)for the job.
Now if only you had won the LOTTO last weekend !!!!!!!!!

Shelbourne beat Bohemians last night 3-2 in the presidents cup .
I wasn,t at it but by newspaper accounts it was a good match and
needed extra-time to resolve it (2-2 at full time ).
I cant remember how you qualify for this but i seem to remember
Bohs beating Shels in the final last year ????????
Good to see the new boys banging the goals in ,Vinny Arkins scoring
on his debut,Mooney on the score sheet as well and the title race
soon begins .....Cant wait.

Presidents Cup Final
Shelbourne 3 Bohemians 2 aet
Shelbourne defeated Bohs in a very entertaining Presidents Cup Final at Tolka
Park. Vinny Arkins gave Shels a first half lead but 2 goals in 6 minutes from
Lee King and Mark Devlin gave Bohs the advantage. Brian Mooney snatched
an equaliser 4 minutes from the end of normal time.
Bohs were reduced to 10 men in the first period of extra time when Mick
Moody was sent off. Shels took advantage and clinhed the trophy when Brian
Mooney snatched the winner.

It was a night of contrasting fortunes for the Irish sides in Europe.
Shelbourne and Linfield achieved superb results while Bangor and Cork City
had embarrassing disasters.
Cwmbran Town 3 Cork City 2
Cork City suffered a very bad defeat at the hands of Cwmbran. This is an
embarrassment for the League of Ireland as Cwmbran would compare badly with
most sides in the English non league pyramid. The Welsh champions would have
settled for a draw but found themselves 3-0 up after 26 minutes as the
Cork defence played Hari Kiri. Damien Richardson's half time talk took effect
and Cork did pull 2 goals back in the second half through Anthony Buckley
and John Caulfield. The home goalkeeper denied Cork on numerous occasions
and they probably deserved at least a draw. Cork should now win the return
leg and progress but only a handsome victory in the return will erase the
memory of this performance.
Karpaty Lvov 1 Shelbourne 0
A late goal undid soe of shelbourne's good work but they can be justly proud
of this performance and must feel they have a chance in the return. Brian
Mooney missed Shels' best chance just before the break. The Ukranians
piled on the pressure but the Shels defence held firm until they conceded an
82nd minute winner.
Dynamo Tbilisi 2 Linfield 1
A superb result for the Blues against all expectations. There could well
be another famous European night at Windsor in 2 weeks time. Dynamo struck
with an early goal but Ritchie Johnson hit a 56th minute equaliser. Dynamo
regained the lead 10 minutes later but Linfield held on for a very respectable
result in front of 50,000 fanatical fans.
Bangor 1 Apeol Nicosia 1
Bangor disappointed the home fans and now look likely to make their exit
from this competition. Ricky McEvoy scored the opening goal on 24 minutes
but a defensive mixup allowed the Cyriots an equaliser during first half injury
time. Apeol are a long long way from being a major European power and Bangor
will be very disappointed with this result. The chances of a lucrative 1st
round tie v Paris St. Germain appear to be fading fast.

Shelbourne and Limerick played out a very entertaining scoreless draw before
a small crowd at Rathbane today. Shelbourne were still recovering from their
midweek european exploits and were further hampered when they had Anto Whelan
sent off after 25 minutes. Limerick are a club in crisis. This week they were
plagued by injuries to key players after a summer when most of the established
stars joined other clubs. A makeshift side which included Young Munster
fly half Aidan O'Halloran was scrambled together with the injured Kevin
McCarthy and reserve goalkeeper Joe Barriscale named as substitutes. Even
secretary Noel Hanley was on crutches today. Shels started badly and Limerick
had the best of the opening quarter. Anto Whelan was dismissed for a
professional foul on Johnny Walsh. Jody Byrne saved well from the resulting
free kick.
The 10 men then took over and dominated the game. Limerick had a couple of
chances on the break as Shels were exposed at the back but it was the home
goal that led a charmed life. Bobby Browne, Brian Mooney, Mark Rutherford
and Tony Izzi missed a catalogue of chances but it was Limerick who came
closest to scoring. Daithi McMahon rounded goalkeeper Jody Byrne outside the
box and was brought down. Referee John Purcell made his only bad decision by
failing to implement the professional foul rule and only booked Byrne. Daithi
McMahon drove the resulting free kick against a post. A goal would have been
a travesty of justice. Limerick hung on and the roar from the home fans at
the final whistle told its own story.
Cork City began their defence of the title with a hard earned victory over
Monaghan. Anthony Buckley converted Johnny Glynn's 10th minute cross.
Derry City made it a good weekend all round for Derry footballers of all codes
by beating Cobh. It took 2 late goals from Doherty and Coyle to settle
the issue.
Bohs hammered Galway 3-0 with Dave Tilson being the architect of the victory.
He also contributed 2 goals.
John Ryan scored a late late equaliser for Drogheda against his own club to
deny Pats the points at United Park. Derek Dunne had given the visitors a
14th minute lead.
These are the results from week 1 of the league in IRELAND
Bohemians 3-0 Galway United
Cork City 1-0 Monaghan United
Derry City 2-0 Cobh Ramblers
Drogheda United 1-1 St. Patricks Athletic

Galway and Cork drew 0-0 at the Sportsground on Wednesday night. Galway had
much the better of the opening half and John Brennan was denied by a post.
Donie Farragher headed wide just before the break and Cork were relieved to
be on level terms at the interval. Cork were a different team after the break
and they dominated the second half. Ollie Cunningham had a superb game in
goal and Kevin Cassidy continued to defy the Cork attack and Father Time.
It all seemed in vain as the game entered the last 10 minutes, Paul Hague
cleared a long ball out of defence, Tommy Gaynor dummied and Liam Murphy was
left clear with only Ollie Cunningham to beat. He duly rounded the keeper
but from 12 yards out in the middle of an open goal he managed to hit the post.
Kevin Cassidy beat a stunned Murphy to the rebound. A draw was the correct
result but Galway will be much happier than Cork.
Limerick and Cobh drew 0-0 at St. Colmans Park. Limerick had the better
chances with Daithi McMahon twice going close.
Shelbourne had a fortunate victory over Shamrock Rovers. Anto Whelan headed
the only goal after 49 minutes from Greg Costello's cross. Shamrock Rovers
dominated for much of the game but poor finishing from Terry Eviston and
Derek Swan denied the hoops.

Two rounds of games have been played in the LoI and no team has full points and
no team is pointless.
Drogheda shocked Dundalk at Oriel Park for the second time in a week. Barry
O'Connor headed home Trevor Crolly's 73rd minute cross for the only goal.
It was no more than Drogheda deserved as they were by far the better side.
Dundalk have yet to score this season.
Monaghan earned their first point thanks to a Philip Power equaliser at home
Derry. Derry dominated the first half but had only Liam Coyle's 20th minute
shot to show for it. Monaghan came back in the second half and Philip
Power scored from close range after Paul Byrne hit a post. Both sides had
chances to win this absorbing encounter but a draw was the right result.
Seven of the 1990 St Pats championship winning team faced their old club at
Harolds Cross. It was a case of familiarity breeding contempt as the Bohs
v Pats clash fizzled out into a scoreless bore.

I was at the Shelbourne v Rovers match ,i,d hardly think shels were
lucky .Yes Da Rovers were guilty of poor finishing especially Eviston
who was clean thru on Jodi Byrne but stumbled on the ball just when he
was about to hit it,also some excellant defence work by Whelan and
Flood .Shels had their chances too in this "bruising encounter ".
I,d say a fair result on the day ( but then i would ,wouldn,t I).
I was talking to Gracer last night and he has just signed for
Glentoran .I, dont know if you knew that ?? but i was a bit suprised
myself. No disrespect to the IFA clubs but whats the attraction north
of the border apart from money .I have never been in a ground
north-of-the-border but have seen many matchs on television and the
crowds dont seem to be any bigger than down here ??How do the clubs
afford to pay the large wages ?? There seems to be a large exidos one

A Michael Kerley own goal settled affairs at Rathbane. Neither side had scored
prior to this game and neither side looked like breaking their duck until
Kerley headed in Wayne Cooney's corner. This was Dundalk's only corner as they
were content to defend their lead and despite constant pressure the visiting
defence was always in control. The referee showed 6 yellow cards and sent off
Dundalk manager Turlough O'Connor. The small crowd went home frustrated at
Limerick's lack of fire power and the only consolation for your correspondent
was winning the half-time raffle.
Cork City went clear at the top of the table after a brilliant win in Derry.
Pat Morley got the only goal in first half injury time. The goal came just
after Derry's best spell of the match but Cork were worthy winners.
Galway pulled off the shock of the day hammering fancied Drogheda 4-1 at
United Park. John Brennan gave Galway an early lead but Dave Connell
equalised with a superb diving header. A quick double from Donie Farragher
made the game safe and a 4th goal was added in injury time.
Monaghan were well worth their point at Dalymount. They were the better
side in the first half and despite being under constant pressure after the
break they held on for a hard earned point.
Cobh and Shels shared 2 first hal;f goals and the points at St. Colmans
Park. Kwenny O'Rourke was the Cobh hero as he had a great game as a makeshift
centre-half.

Re Shels v Rovers, I went by Philip Greene and white's radio reports.
:-) The papers seemed to suggest Rovers played well too still it's
good to see them in their rightful place in the table.
Yah, Gracer went to Glentoran. Limerick got 4,000 out of the deal
which is a total farce. I'm sure John got a very good signing on fee
and that John Grace is as good a friend of a certain Dublin gentleman
as Alex Kristic. Still it was Limerick's own incompetence to transfer
a player for 4,000 when Glentoran would happily have paid
20,000-30,000. Ray Campbell is currently on the transfer list and the
Glens are looking for 45,000.
The grounds are much much better up north. all clubs have floodlights,
proper social clubs. Glentoran are the 2nd biggest club on the island
and you'd be crazy to turn down a move to the Glens. The crowds are
similar but the clubs have huge income from social clubs, lotteries
etc. Wages are actually smaller but sunging on fees are bigger and
transfer fees are much bigger. They sign players from here because
they're much cheaper. The smarter clubs such as Shels get decent
transfer fees but they still fool some of the smaller clubs.
Incidently Limerick were warned but the only comment was "Are Glentoran
a big club?"

Shelbourne play Karpy lvov tonight in the second tie of this cupwinners
cup match .They lost 1-0 away and it should be a good match with shels
having to score at least one goal.Knowing Irish clubs recent history
in europe Shels will be winning 2-0 with a minute to go and will
concede a late "away" goal and will miss out in the next round as
usual.I hope i,m wrong.Match report tomorrow.
Cork also play tonight against the Welsh league winners and are losing
3-2 .Should be another cracker of a game ...

It's 11 years since a League of Ireland side won a European tie and 15 years
since 2 sides won in the same year but those ghosts were exorcised as Cork
and Shelbourne both won their preliminary ties. It was not a good night for
the Irish League clubs as both Linfield and Bangor made their exit despite
brave performances.
Cork City 2 Cwmbran Town 1 (aggregate 4-4, Cork win on away goals)
A late Johnny Glyn goal saved Cork from total humiliation. Cwmbran were
supposed to be the weakest side ever to play in Europe but they came within
minutes of humiliating the LoI champions. Cork began brightly and Pat
Morley shot just wide in the opening minute. Tommy Gaynor also came close
after 5 minutes and it seemed only a matter of time before the goal would come.
In the 7th minute the opening goal arrived but it came at the wrong end.
Cork's Welsh goalkeeper Phil Harrington dropped the ball to Cwmbran's Irish
striker Francis Ford and he squared the ball for Phil Neil to give Cwmbran
the lead. Cork had a lot of pressure in the first half but the ariel
bombardment failed to penetrate the Cwmbran defence.
Cork lost their way after the break. Phil Harrington's nightmare continued
as he failed to hold a Phil Neil shot but Francis Ford hit the prostrate
keeper and not the gaping net. Cork gradually got control as Cwmbran
started to concentrate on defence. It all appeared lost until ace goalpoacher
Pat Morley scrambled a 75th minute equaliser. Cork poured forward now and
Johnny Glynn beat his marker to score with a superb header with time running
out. This was a tie Cork will want to forget.
Shelbourne 3 Karpaty Lvov 1 (Shels win 3-2 on aggregate)
The relief in turners Cross was matched by the euphoria in Tolka. Shelbourne
turned in one of the greatest ever performances by an Irish lub side when they
hammered the Ukranian side. The Dublin football public forgot local
rivalries for one night and cheered Shelbourne to a famous victory. Greg
Costello opened the floodgates after 9 minutes with a deflected shot. Mick
Neville hit the crossbar from 30 yards and Ken O'Doherty caused terrible
problems for the Ukranian defence. Karpaty had one chance in the first
half but this was wasted.
The interval came at a bad time as Shelbourne were in total control but they
gradually found their feet after the break. The 2nd goal arrived after 66
minutes but it was well worth waiting for. Brian Mooney scored with a 30 yard
shot ater running through the defence. Shelbourne were rampant now and
roared on by the large crowd they tore Karpaty apart. Tony Izzi made it 3 on
75 minutes. Karpaty had a player sent off for a desperate tackle on Mark
Rutherford. rutherford then headed against the bar with the keeper beaten.
The 10 men did snatch a last minute consolation goal from Masur but they
were totally outclassed on the night and can have no complaints. Shels
now qualify to meet Panathinaikos of Greece in the next round and on the
evidence of last night's performance they must have a chance of pulling off
another shock victory.
Linfield 1 Dynamo Tbilisi 1 (Dynamo win 3-2 on aggregate)
Linfield have to give best to Dynamo Tbilisi but they can hold their heads
high in defeat. The Georgian side were warm favourites despite their slender
2-1 first leg advantage. Linfield had most of the play but the Georgians
were always dangerous on the break. The first half was scoreless but the
Georgians snatched a vital goal 50 seconds after the break. Linfield
fought back and Gary Haylock headed an equaliser after 71 minutes but they
failed to get the second goal required to take the tie into extra time.
Apoel Nicosia 2 Bangor 1 (Apoel win 3-2 on aggregate)
Bangor made their exit from the ECWC. Mark Glendenning headed a superb 4th
minute goal to give the Seasiders real hope. A 19th minute free kick brought
the Cypriots level but Bangor defended stoutly and appeared to be in with a
chance until they condeded a 69th minute winner direct from a corner kick.

| Gary,
thanks for the report - Cwmbran certainly know how to blow things don't
they. 3-0 up in the 1st leg and then 1-0 up in the second leg.
Interestingly to see that Cork had a Welsh player are there any others
in the LOI?
Oh well it's up to Cardiff as usual to mount the Welsh challenge for a
trophy but the last league team I saw had 8 English players in it so
we might be fielding the youth team in our games.
Regards.

Cheers Andrew, Cardiff will be an awful lot stronger than Cwmbran.
Even the average Welsh non league sides refused to join the League of
Wales not to mind good sides like Merthyr and Barry. Cwmbran would
have settled for a draw in the home leg but they were only 5 minutes
away from victory.

Daithi McMahon snatched a late equaliser to give Limerick a point at Harolds
Cross. St Pats had taken a first lead through Paschal Keane and looked set
for their first victory of the season until McMahon struck.
Galway were hammered 5-0 at home by Shamrock Rovers. The home side also
lost Ronan Killeen and Eamonn Sherlock through injury and both will be out
for some weeks.
Shelbourne showed no ill effects from their European game as they beat Derry
2-0. Paul Doolin and Mark Rutherford scored second half goals as Shels had a
comfortable victory despite the dismissal of Brian Mooney.
Cork had a good home victory over Bohemians. 2 first half goals from Tommy
Gaynor and Pat Morley decided the issue. Cork stay top 2 points clear of
Shelbourne.
Cobh pulled off the shock of the day winning 2-0 in Dundalk. O'Rourke and
Moore scored second half goals to give Ramblers a sensational win.

Monaghan moved to 4th place in the table after defeating Limerick today.
Kevin McCarthy gave Limerick an early lead. He robbed Alan Kinsella 40 yards
from goal, raced through, played a neat one-two with Daithi McMahon before
scoring with a low angled drive. The lead was short lived. Joe Barriscale
parried John Coady's shot and Philip Power was on hand to convert the rebound.
Limerick had the better of the opening half but fell behind on 43 minutes
when Noel Melvin walked through a static defence and beat Barriscale. The
bordermen should have had another just on half time but Ray O'Halloran
cleared off the line. Philip Power made it three after 49 minutes after Melvin
split the defence. Michael Kerley scrambled a consolation but Monaghan were
full value for their victory.
Ken O'Doherty scored a late winner as Shelbourne went top by beating St. Pats.
By all accounts Shels fully deserved this victory.
Stephen Geoghegan scored twice as Shamrock Rovers hammered champions Cork City.
The Hoops have come good in recent weeks and today's scoreline certainly
didn't flatter them. Geoghegan scored after 6 minutes and Cork were never
in with a chance after Paul Hague was sent off. Geoghegan added a second after
78 minutes with full back Willie Burke getting the third.
Bohs ran riot in Drogheda on Saturday. Pat Fenlon gave Bohs a first half lead
and they added 3 more in the closing minutes.
Two Jumbo Brennan goals were enough to give Galway the points in Cobh. Brennan
scored once in each half and any hopes of a Cobh revival were dashed by the
dismissal of Jason Lynch for a professional foul.
Dundalk shocked Derry at the Brandywell. Mark Ennis gave Derry an early lead
but Joe Hanrahan equalised against his old club after 35 minutes. Joe's
brother Peter made it 2-1 just before the break and 2 Ritchie Purdy
penalties completed the rout in the second half.
Waterford qualified to meet Sligo in the Shield final despite a home defeat
by UCD.

Dugarry to race clear on goal and round keeper Henderson. Bohs will rue the

European Cup
Galatasaray (Turkey) 2 Cork City 1
Cork City earned a glorious defeat in Istanbul and they must now have a chance
of pulling off a shock and progressing to round 2. Cork had been expecting
a hammering after only scraping past the Welsh minnows Cwmbran Town in the
preliminary round. Cork had chances in the opening half an hour but it was the
home side who took the lead. The Turkish double winners made it 2-0 after 52
minutes and Cork had a lucky escape 3 minutes later when the ball came back
off the crossbar. Dave Barry scored a priceless away goal midway through the
second half and Cork held on comfortably after that. This was a well
deserved result after a superb performance. It will take an even greater
performance in 2 weeks time to progress but a 1-0 victory in the return would
be sufficient to send Cork through on away goals.
ECWC
Panathinaikos (Greece) 3 Shelbourne 0
Shelbourne crashed to a heavy defeat against a superior Greek outfit.
Shelbourne were dreading an early goal but a defensive lapse gave the Greeks
a goal in the first minute. Shels did fight back and Stephen Cooney hit the
bar but the second goal on 37 minutes killed the tie. The Greeks made it
3 after 48 minutes and only brave defending kept the score down. Shels had
begun the game with an attacking formation but fortune certainly didn't favour
the brave in this case. The second half became a damage limitation exercise.

Limerick won a close hard fought encounter with Galway at the Sportsground.
Limerick took an early lead when Ray O'Halloran converted a penalty after
David Lawlor was fouled in the penalty area. Galway had much the better of
the opening half and Joe Barriscale was in superb form in goal. He was
finally beaten after 30 minutes when Mark Herrick drove home from 18 yards.
Jumbo Brennan was inches wide seconds later. Albert Finnin headed Limerick
into a 49th minute lead. Galway hit the crossbar and the post in the closing
stages but it poor play rather than bad luck that denied them a point. On the
back pitch the Young Munster Junior side appeared to be well on their way to
a comprehensive victory over Our Lady's Bots Club. This is surely the first
time two Limerick clubs won 2 games in separate codes in the same ground at
the same time.
It's back to normal at the top of the table. Rovers are back on top. Terry
Berry headed in Derek McGrath's corner 5 minutes from time to give Rovers a
slightly fortunate victory over a gallant Monaghan side. Taking full advantage
of the 3 points for a win Rovers have gone from bottom to top in 3 weeks.
Pat Fenlon and Liam Dunne scored 2 early goals to send Bohs top for a few
hours on Saturday. Derry are now bottom of the league and the alarm bells
must be ringing at the Brandywell. Roy Coyle will be hoping that the All
Ireland celebrations will deflect attention for a few weeks.
Cork City suffered a European hangover and were held at home by Drogheda.
Cork received a superb reception from their fans before the start but they
had to settle for a point, Noel Reid gave Drogheda the lead after 40 minutes
with John Caulfield equalising just before the interval.
Peter Hanrahan scored twice last night as Dundalk shocked leaders Shelbourne.
Shelbourne's world has cavbed in around them in the past 5 days. Two
heavy defeats have virtually ended their European dream and damaged their
title prospects. They may take heart from the fact that they won the
corresponding fixture by the same margin 2 years ago and the bordermen went
on totake the title.

Cork City warmed up for their vital European tie v Galatasaray with a
comfortable victory over Limerick. Limerick were torn apart and Cork showed
no mercy as they kept piling on the agony. Daithi McMahon gave Limerick
a 10th minute lead with a low drive. This was short-lived as David Minihan
headed into his own net for the equaliser. Declan Hyde, Dave Barry and
Pat Morley made it 4-1 before the interval. Anthony Buckley, Tommy Gaynor
and Dclan Roche made it seven before the end. Most of the home fans missed
the last 2 goals and some even departed at half time. Michael Kerley was
also sent off to compund Limerick's misery.
The match of the day was at the RDS. All the goals came in the last 20 minutes
as Rovers maintained their impressive run. Gino Brazil and Stephen Geoghegan
gave the Hoops a two goal lead and they could afford to give Bohs a late
consolation when Alan O'Neill fell into his own net with the ball still in his
grasp. This was a well deserved success for Rovers who must be considered
serious title challengers.
Galway got a vital point at Tolka Park and it could have been three. Donie
Farragher headed Galway into a 27th minute lead. Shels lost Mick Neville
through injury and had to wait until the 84th minute before Anto Whelan
drove in the equaliser.
Derry's problems continue. Paul Curran gave them a 54th minute lead at home
to Drogheda but Barry O'Connor snatched a late equaliser.
It was a red letter day for Jason Lynch in Cobh. He won #5,000 in the club
draw befor ethe kickoff. He then scored the first goal as Cobh beat Monaghan
2-0. He got engaged to his gorlfriend Valerie last night. O'Connor got the
other Cobh goal.
Pat O'Connell and Paschal Keane got the goals as Pats shocked Dundalk at Oriel
Park. Pats were always in control and fully deserved this success.

It was a sad week for all the Irish sides in Europe. There were some brave
performances and Linfield can bemoan some dubious refereeing decisions but
ultimately all the teams on this island are now out of Europe. All
eyes will be on the domestic scene from now on.
European Cup
Cork City 0 Galatasaray 1 (Galatasaray win 3-1 on aggregate)
Cork City bowed out of Europe after a brave fight. Cork played very
well and controlled the game for long periods but they failed to penetrate a
blanket defence. Anthony Buckley, Tommy Gaynor and Declan Hyde all had good
chances for the Turkisk defence held firm. Kubilay scored an undeserved
winner 14 minutes from the end after a mistake by Dave Barry. Cork have the
satisfaction of huge gate receipts and a big cheque from Turkish television.
Ultimately they couldn't beat the professionals but they came very close.
Certainly these two performances have erased any bad memories from the
preliminary round.
FC Copenhagen 4 Linfield 0 aet (FC Copenhagen win 4-3 on aggregate)
Linfield left Copenhagen complaining bitterly about the Austrian
referee. The refereee added 5 minutes injury time and Copenhagen snatched
the goal that took the tie into extra time with the last kick of the game.
Linfield had battled back bravely having conceded two early goals and appeared
to have done enough to progress. The 4th goal came 4 minutes into extra
time.
ECWC
Shelbourne 1 Panathinaikos 2 (Panathinaikos win 5-1 on aggregate)
Shels were outclassed again by their Greek opponents. Any lingering hopes
of a shock comeback were elinated after 26 minutes. The second goal arrived
after 57 minutes and Shels had only a late Brian Mooney free kick as a
consolation.
UEFA Cup
Les Girondins de Bordeaux 5 Bohemians 0 (Bordeuax win 6-0 on aggregate)
Bohs were totally outplayed and outclassed. Good goalkeeping from
Dave Henderson kept the score down as one of Europe's top sides showed their
class. Vercruysse 2, Fofana and Paille were maong the goals.
Servette 4 Crusaders 0 (Servette win 4-0 on aggregate)
Justice was done in the end but only after Crusaders bravely
defied the Swiss side for almost an hour. Roy Walker's side defended
stoutly and the game was scoreless up until the 57th minute. Two goals
in 45 seconds killed the tie and two more arrived during the next quarter
hour.

Mick Moody scored the only goal as Bohs beat Limerick at Dalymount. Bohs had
much more of the play and could have won by a few more goals.
Tommy Gaynor scored twice in the second half as Cork overcame Cobh Ramblers.
Shelbourne were the third team of our European trio that showed no hangover
effects. They eventually triumphed 5-4 in Monaghan despite squandering a
4-0 lead. Shels lead 4-0 after 30 minutes. This included a goal from keeper
Jody Byrne from a long kickout. Monaghan battled back to equalise before
Sean Riordan scored a late winner against his old club. Mick Byrne had another
equaliser ruled out in injury time for offside. By all account the linesman
made a bad decision.
Drogheda defeated Shamrock Rovers on Friday night causing the shock of the
weekend. Rovers took the lead through Paul Osam after 33 minutes but a
needless penalty gave John Ryan the chance to equalise. Barry O'Connor
snatched a last gasp winner to delight the huge crowd, The first competitive
match under lights was a huge success in Drogheda and the experiment is set to
continue.
There were no goals at the Sportsground or at Harolds Cross and no side
can have any complaints.

Drogheda left Limrick with a point but they will feel that they should have
taken all three. The Boynesiders missed 6 gilt edged chances in the second
half and in between conceded a soft equaliser.
The first half was dreadful. Trevor Crolly woke up the small crowd with a goal
seconds before the whistle. The second half was much better with Drogheda
carving open the home defence but poor finishing cost them dearly. Gerry
Kelly headed an equaliser after 73 minutes and Drogheda had to settle for a
point. Indeed Kevin McCarthy missed a glorious chance to steal the game
in the final minute.
Bohs were fortunate to get a point in Cobh where David Henderson outshone
his younger brother Stephen. Cobh had numerous chances to win the game but
brave goalkeeping denied them 3 points.
Derry and Rovers shared the spoils in the Brandywell with the dismissal of
Liam Coyle in the last minute being the major talking point. He was sent
off for hitting Peter Eccles in an off the ball incident.
Cork City went 3 point clear after an impressive display at Tolka Park.
Tommy Gaynor got the only goal just aftert he break as they outplayed a
disappointing Shelbourne side.
Galway held off a brave fightback to deservedly take all 3 points from
Harolds Cross. Brennan, Farragher and Herrick had given Galway a three
goal lead before O'Donnell and Byrne pulled back two goals. Galway held
on to move up into 5th spot.

Derry City's expensive imports and Galway's temporary move to Glenina attracted
one of their biggest crowds ever. It was the home-based players who
prospered as Galway deservedly sent their more illustrious visitors home
pointless. Luther Blisset is well known all over the world for his
sxploits with Milan. He gave Derry the lead in the first half. Donie
Farragher (ex Mervue) equalised after 55 minutes. Galway got the winning
goal they deserved when Jumbo Brennan (ex Salthill Devon) rounded off a good
move 14 minutes from time.
Shamrock Rovers went back on top after hammering Limerick 7-3. Derek
McGrath grabbed a hatrick. Terry Eviston scored twice with Stephen
Geoghegan and Alan Byrne completing the rout. Daith McMahon and Kevin
McCarthy with 2 got Limerick's consolation goals.
Cork surprisingly lost at home to managerless Dundalk. Geg O'Dowd got the
only goal just after the break.
A King goal just before the break settle the Dublin derby between Bohs
and Shels. Dunne and Campbell got the goals that gave Pats victory in
Monaghan. Paul Newe managed a late reply for the home side who had 2
players sent off. Cobh surprised Drogheda under the United Park floodlights.
Patmore,Devlin and Bannon got the goals with Ryan replying.

A good game at Dayler on friday (if your a bohs fan )..
Managerless Shels started brightly enough but couldn,t finish their
neat passing moves ,Da bohs scored on the break and never looked back.
They had a second disallowed just before half-time when only the ref
knew why he dissallowed it.
They second half was full of woe for the Shels and bohs could have had
another two or three.Broughan for bohs would have been my mom.
There was a small protest ,maybe 20 fans and 20 kids ,making a bid to
reinstate Pat Byrne and Jim mc Loughlin at the helm for Shels ,who were
mysterly sacked during the week .The Shels board gave the excuse that
their partnership didn,t work ?? A league and cup in two years also
a second round place in europe was pretty well working imho...
I,m not following Shels that long to know the history of Pat Byrne
coming etc and i know he had problems with a few players contracts
during the close season but their partnership DID work.
He was on sports stadium on saturday morning and aquitted himself
very well (not a man who had been on the fiddle as some of the rumours
go ).He will be a sad lose to shels and they are losing ground on the
leaders fast ,so something should be done soon.
Jim mc Loughlin must have the best record in the British Isles regards
teams he has been involved with winning both League and cup with nearly
all (if not all) the teams he has managed.
Strange goings on indeed .Hopefully the truth will come out in the end
.
Liam
P.S Gary if you heard any rumours etc please mail me Dawson @DBO

I missed the game at Tolka Park due to family commitments on Sunday
(i wasn,t allowed go ).
But made up for it on monday night (i ran away from home )
Apparently I picked the right match .
Shelbourne beat Drogheda 1-0 in a drab encounter in Eoin Hands first
match in charge.
But the monday cup quarter finals was anything but drab ..
Both teams had plenty of chances ,Shels having more but Cork having the
better ones .Three times in the first half they were one-on-one with
Jodi Byrne ,Two chances fell to Pat Morley (who really impressed
throughout the game,)and you would have bet your house on him scoring
the other to Tommy Gaynor .Great Saves from Jodi who made up for Brady
getting caught in pocession twice ..
Alex Ludiz (sp) had a blinder as well and was helped by his defenders
who cleared off the the line twice.
They say the best time to score is just before half-time and Shels
duly obliged when Tommy Dunne (another who really impressed me on the
night )floated a corner into a crowded Cork box for Anto Whelan (who
was my man of the season last year ) buried a header into the net.
The second half was full of "thrill and spills " and Shels just about
deserved it on the night .Stephen Cooney hit the bar with a rocket of a
shot mid-way thru the second half.Alex Ludiz pulled off one of the best
saves I have ever seen When Tommy Dunne (i think ) placed a hard shot
destined for the top-right corner .Ludiz was in the centre of the goal
but dived spectaculary (sp) to put the ball behind for a corner (real
Southall stuff ).
Shelbourne had five new players i.e. didnt play last season.Vinny
Arkins looks a good signing ,Brian Mooney has played better for shels
Tommy Dunne at right back really impressed ,Stephen Cooney did well
in midfield as did O Doherty and Lastly Tony Ittzi ,who is a Tony
Cottee lookalike and plays like him too.
With injuries to Howlett,Neville,Doolin,Dully ,Costello and Brown
things are looking up for shels this season..

| 11.411 | Shels draw and lose some ground on the leaders | SIOG::DAWSON | | Mon Nov 01 1993 09:00 | 14 |
|
Shelbourne failed to take advantage of all the posession that they had
while outplaying the DROGS (sun nickname for Drogheda)only to find
themselves losing 2-0 at half-time.They kept with their passing game
to level the match and Eoin Hands team remain unbeaten since he took
over (two wins ,one draw),altough they lost ground on the leaders
(the scum from the RDS).
I,m sure Gary will fill in the blanks ...

Vinny Arkins and Stephen Cooney were among the goals as Shelbourne
comfortably disposed of Limerick. 2 goals in the opening 15 minutes killed
the game.
Shamrock Rovers extended their lead at the top after a great win at Oriel
Park. Stephen Geoghegan gave Rovers the lead after 9 minutes with James
Coll equalising after 34 minutes. Terry Eviston snatched the winner just
after the interval.
Cork City lost ground after losing in Monaghan. Mick Byrne gave the
northerners the lead but Stephen Napier equalised. Ian Woods got the winner
just after the hour.
Derry hada good win in Cobh thanks to 2 late goals. Sean Francis gave the
home side the lead but Peter Hutton equalised. Hutton and Ryan got late goals
to give Derry a deserved win.
A Ricky O'Flaherty own goal give Bohs the lead at Crowley Park but Galway
got on terms 5 minutes from time through Peter Carpenter.
Pats hammered Drogheda with goals from Byrne,Ennis,Campbell and King. Tresson
had given Drogheda a 10th minute lead.

First division roundup courtesy of Thomas Bridge
Home Farm comprehensively beat Finn Harps at Whitehall. Gary Coyle's
33rd
minute goal after Karl Gannon's cross put them ahead after 33 minutes.
Coyle
then set up a goal for Gannon to head Farm's second four minutes before
half
time. Five minutes into the second half, Gannon scored again after
Farm skipper
Aaron Lynch's cross from the right. Harps got a consolation goal nine
minutes
from the end when Colm McGonigle scored after Farm keeper Garry
McCormack
couldn't hold on to Declan Sheridan's shot.
UCD moved back on top of the division after beating Longford at
Strokestown
road. Darren O'Brien opened the scoring for UCD aten minutes into the
second
half after Longford keeper Aidan Smyth allowed the ball to go through
his legs.
O'Brien doubled UCD's lead after 84 minutes, but Pierce Walsh got a
consolation
goal for Longford, who were clearly missing Dermot Keely.
Kilkenny City took the lead in their match against St. James' Gate at
the
Iveagh Grounds after just ten minutes when Jimmy Donnelly converted JJ
Reddy's
corner into a goal. When just under half an hour to go, Reddy made it
two nil
by heading Sean Egan's goal into the net. But with a comeback nearly
as good
as Manchester United's a brace from Cantona - sorry Kavanagh gave St.
James'
a point and helped keep Bray at the bottom of the table :-( His goal's
were
reminiscint of Cantona's as well, a 15 yard shot with 11 minutes to go
and
eight minute's later a goal from 35 yards.
Bray's game at the Showgrounds in Sligo demonstrated why Bray are at
the bottom
of the table. Padraic Moran scored for Sligo after just seven minutes.
Bray
started pushing, and finally got a goal when Brian Honan used a lousy
Sligo
clearence to Bray's advantage. Bray put on the pressure, but the same
old
story - they just couldn't score.
Waterford took the lead at the Regional Sports centre after 61 minutes
when
Paul Stokes headed home Mark Browne's cross. 13 minutes later Tommy
Keane
put the ball past Shane Curran after a defence splitting pass from
Chris
Malone to give Athlone an equaliser. Athlone then missed a chance to
keep them
at the top of the table after Dave Dowling shot wide of an open goal
with just
three minutes left.

Limerick plumbed new depths to send their fans home even more depressed than
usual. Cobh Ramblers fully deserved their 5-1 victory. Indeed had their
2 substitutes not contrived to shoot wide of wide open goals having rounded
the goalkeeper the margin would have been even great. As it was two goals
from Sean Francis, one from Anthony Kenneally and one each from the 2 O'Rourkes
gave Cobh a facile win. Fran Hitchcock gave the eternal optimists some
hope.
Shamrock Rovers continue to impress and have now opened up an eight point
gap. Paul Cullen and Stephen Geoghegan got the goals that dispatched Shels.
Galway had the most impressive result (unfortunately 5 goals at Limerick is
no longer a really impressive performance) when they defeated Cork 2-1 at
Bishopstown. Mark Herrick and John Brennan gave Galway a 2-0 lead with
Dave Barry pulling one back. Barry was unfortunate not to equalise in
injury time.
Dundalk hammered Drogheda 3-0 at United Park. Peter Hanrahan started the rout
that led to the dismissal of manager Pat Devlin.
Peter Hutton got the only goal as Derry continued their mini revival.
Bohs and Pats played out their predictable bore draw with the linesmen being
overworked using the offside flag. These two sides always seem to serve up
games like this which then clash with Pats being the worst offenders.

The 3 points for a win explains the Hoops impressive lead then? You
mentioned that they continue to impress - do you think that they can
keep it up and win the championship this season? Their first success
away from Glenmalure park would be deserved.
With the 3 pts for a win, does this mean that goal difference will now
count at the end of the season if 2 or more teams are level on points?
Last years debacle was'nt a great advertisement for the game.
Come on the hoops...

Shamrock Rovers remain clear at the top after Terry Eviston's goal beat St
Pats. Rovers had a lucky escape when Jason Byrne hit the post.
Cork stay in touch thanks to an early goal from Anthony Buckley. Derry played
well but lost to a better side in a n entertaining game.
Farragher and Brennan scored early in each half to give Galway a good win
over Drogheda. This well deserved success moves Galway into 4th place.
Limerick earned a valuable point with a scoreless draw in Oriel Park.
Mick Byrne scored after 8 minutes and this was enough for Monaghan to defeat a
poor Bohs side.
Vinny Arkins got the only goal as Shelbourne defeated Cobh on Friday night.

I got to Tolka Park last friday night expecting a whitewash until
i looked up Cobh,s recent results .Shelbourne set a good pace and
cobh impressed with some neat footwork in the first ten/fifteen
minutes .Paul Bannon was sent off for a blantent foul and Arkins
missed the resulting penalty.Arkins had put Shels ahead a few minutes
earlier with a looping header which beat the impressive cobh keeper.
O Connor had a great chance to kill the game by rounding the keeper
only to chip over the bar when a glaring open goal stared in front of
him.
Shels struggled to get the upper hand even when Bannon was sent off..
I have only seen shels play about eight times this season but the same
team hasn,t started What with injuries etc
Still maximum points but will be hard to catch the scum ,i mean Rovers
...

It has been 11� months since Limerick won a home league game but the long
famine finally ended with an unexpected 2-1 home victory over St. Pats. Garret
Ryan gave Limerick an early lead when he headed in Gerry Kelly's cross.
This was his first goal for the club. The goal was quickly cancelled out
by Jason Byrne. Pats had the better of the game but a draw always looked
likely. Kevin McCarthy set up Garret Ryan for a sensational winner 4 minutes
from time. The game was watched by one of the smallest crowds in living
memory but the result was ample compensation for those who braved the bitter
cold.
Shamrock Rovers won their seventh league game in a row but they were made to
fight all the way by Galway. Peter Eccles gave Rovers a 13th minute lead
and Galway's hopes evapourated when Noel Mernagh was sent off just before
the interval. Stephen Geoghegan made it 2 after 58 minutes before John
Brennan pulled one back. John Toal made the game safe just before the end.
Cork City won a thriller at Dalymount. Dave Barry scored twice with Morley
and Caulfield getting the others. De Mange and Fitzgerald with two were the
Bohemians scorers.
Monaghan hammered hapless Drogheda at United Park. Byrne, Woods,Melvin and
Byrne got the goals with Douglas getting a consolation score.
Dundalk survived constant first half pressure in Cobh before scoring twice
in a minute. Brian Irwin with a penalty and Greg O'Dowd got the goals.
Cobh were a broken side after that and Dundalk controlled the remainder of
the game.
Shels had a flattering 4-1 win at the Brandywell. Kevin McKeever gave Derry
the lead after 48 minutes. Derry had dominated the game up until this goal.
Barry O'Connor equalised and then Derry had Pascal Vaudequin sent off. This
turned the game and Vinny Arkins added 2 goals as Shelbourne won comfortably
in the end.

Gar,
What's small? If you mean small in a Limerick sense it could have been as
low as possible 40?

>What's small?
Just me. I was on my own. :-)
The crowd numbered about 130. There were 50-60 Pats fans included in
that. The worst I can remember is 70 v Kilkenny Nov 91. Terrible
rain (no shelter) and Arsenal v Liverpool or Man United live on ITV.
Things can only improve. Any chance of you coming to a game James.
Before last Sunday your only game was our only win. :-)

There were no goals and precious little entertainment at Gortakeegan. Limerick
came for a scoreless draw and got it. The home fans were disappointed and
Monaghan missed a series of chances. Kevin McCarthy missed Limerick's only
chance after 50 minutes.
Shamrock Rovers maintained their 8 point advantage at the top after a great
comeback in Cork. Tommy Gaynor and Pat Morley, with a penalty, had given Cork
a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. Stephen Geoghegan pulled one back after 30
minutes and John Toal snatched a late equaliser.
It was a red letter day for St. Patricks Athletic. They returned to Richmond
Park in Inchicore after a 4 years absence. A capacity crowd of 3,500 (the
capacity will rise to 8,000) watched a thrilling 2-2 draw. Barry O'Connor
gave Shels an early lead with Mark Ennis equalising. Stephen Cooney made
it 2-1 early in the second half but Pats came back again through Dave Campbell.
Both sides could have won it in the dying minutes but a point each was the
right result.
Galway hammered Cobh with 2 early goals in each half. Donie Farragher and
Noel Mernagh made it 2-0 after 15 minutes. Peter Carpenter and Brendan
O'Callaghan were then sent off for fighting. John Brennan got 2 in the
first five minutes of the second half.

I went along to the reopening of Richmond Park on sunday ,Good match
I was late so missed the first two goals but it appeared that Pats
played out of their skins and had most of the possesion ..Shels
defence was solid except for pats second equailizer ,which came from
a corner and Campbell rose highest in the pack to bury the header past
Jodi .Shels second goal was a beaut ,Costello played a fifteen yard
pass to Arkins who dummied the pats defence and Cooney cooly placed the
ball past the pats keeper.
A full house of 3.500 were there ,lots of kids and families .The ground
is not nearly finished ,only the main stand is complete but i would say
it will be a nice compact ground maybe holding 5,000 or 6,000 when its
all seater at the end of the season (will pats ever fill it ???)
Cork slipped up against da rovers after going 2-0 up to let them get
a draw so the gap at the top is still eight points..
Da bohs lost again (tee hee hee )calling Micky Fitz ...
Rumours i overheard in the pub that Alan Byrne is off to Leeds after
x-mas.Good player Byrne ,he always impressed me at bohs but will Tracy
let him go because surely da rovers will miss him badly.Here,s hoping
he goes ..
Lastly I was talking to Gary Howlett on sunday and he is back doing
light training .Shels might have won the league last year but for his
untimely injury,so hurry back Gary ..

forgot to post this.
Galway arrived in Limerick to discover part of the pitch under water. The match
had to be postponed. The referee wasn't too pleased as he had travelled down
from Dundalk.
Cork City had an impressive 5 goal victory in Drogheda. Justin Philips
scored in the first minute and although John Ryan later hit the woodwork
Drogheda were outclassed. Tommy Gaynor and Pat Morley added a brace of goals
each.
Shamrock Rovers maintained their 8 point advantage but only just. Monaghan
left the RDS bitterly disappointed having been the better side for much
of the 90 minutes. John Coady gave the visitors a deserved lead after 54
minutes. Stephen Geoghegan equalised 11 minutes later and Terry Eviston
snatched a late winner.
Derek Dunne got the only goal as Pats beat Cobh in a vital relegation battle.
Pats score din the first five minutes and just about deserved to win.
Liam Coyle scored a superb hatrick as Derry hammered Bohs. Coyle scored a
hatrick in his first game for Derry 5 years ago and this may very well be
his last as reports suggest he'll sign for Coleraine during the week.
Dundalk scored an injury time winner to defeat Shels on Friday night.

Cork City closed the gap at the top of the table with a 3-0 victory over
Limerick. Pat Morley, Dave Barry and Johnny Glynn got the goals.
Bohemians ended Shamrock Rovers unbeaten run with a 2-0 victory at
Dalymount. Bohs scored 2 first half goals through Cousins and Tilson
and received a big thank you from the chasing pack.
Galway and Shels failed to capitalise drawing 1-1. Donie Farragher gave
Galway a 42nd minute lead but Vinnie Arkins equalised after an hour.
All the excitement came in the last 5 minutes at Gortakeegan. Cobh took
the lead on 85 minutes through Kelly but still lost 2-1 as Newe and Byrne
scored in the last 3 minutes.
Paul McLaughlin got the only goal as Derry beat Drogheda while Pats

I got to Tolka Park late last night i.e. last twenty mins to see
Greg Costello shot a beauty 40 yarder into the top right corner of
the net to give Shels a place in the final against Derry of the
League cup .Final Score 3-2 for Shelbourne after St Pats were 2-0
up at half-time .Great comeback and Costello scored all three for
the Reds.
It,s just my luck to miss the first four goals ..
Cork at home on sunday ..Match report if we win ..Abuse if we dont..

Shamrock Rovers got their title challenge back on track with an impressive win
over Limerick. Heavy rain had put this fixture in doubt but both sides managed
to entertain the crowd despite the heavy pitch. Peter Eccles gave Rovers a
first minute lead with a low drive. Both sides had chances after that
although Rovers seemed to have that extra bit of class. Stephen Geoghegan
made it 2 early in the second half. This goal prompted an unusual display
of homage from the Rovers fans which is difficult to describe. It's a cross
between the hucklebuck and a Muslim praying to Mecca. Limerick had chances
to pull a goal back but Rovers were always in control and the result was never
in doubt.
Galway qualified for the top 6 by getting the point they needed in Derry.
It was like the old days in the Brandywell as the home fans tried to cheer
Derry into snatching a top 6 place. In the end a scoreless draw was enough for
both sides but Derry had to do a lot of sweating. Ironically it was a man who
scored freely before and after his spell at the Brandywell but had a nightmare
spell there that clinched Derry's berth.
They say you get what you deserve in football but try telling that to Monaghan.
Their performances this season have merited a top 6 spot. Their performance
on Sunday merited 3 points but the lost 1-0 and miss out. Mark Ennis gave
Pats the lead in the first half after Monaghan had dominated proceedings.
They tried in vain to get the equaliser that would have sufficed. Alan
Kinsella almost snatched it at the death when his head was scrambled off the
line but it was not to be.
Dundalk and Cork served up a thriller at Oriel Park. Donnelly gave Dundalk
an early lead. Morley equalised with Coll restoring Dundalk's advantage.
Gaynor equalised after 30 minutes and while there was no more scoring in the
remaining hour there was plenty of excitement. A draw was a fair result
but not enough for either side. Dundalk lose out on the top 6 and Cork fall
10 points behind Rovers.
Cooney and O'Callaghan got second half goals as Shels came from behind to beat
Bohs. Drogheda won the relegation battle in Cobh with a late winner.

Again i missed a cracker of a game at Tolka between the Shels and Da
bohs . Da bohs in front from early on but Shelbourne scoring twice
to win what was described to me as a brilliant match by some who were
at it .Unfortunately i couldn,t make it due to family commitments
(i wasn,t allowed 8-))
More Shocking news in the manager merry-go-round when Eoin Hand
resigned ,rumoured to be taking a job in South Africa as national
team coach,only to be replaced by Eamonn Greg .
Strange indeed as Gregg was hated by the Shels fans as recent as last
year when he was manager of the ould enemy DA Bohs...

Derry City gained their second victory of the season over Shamrock Rovers.
Paul Curran got the only goal 12 minutes from time. Derry were the better
side and had a goal disallowed minutes earlier.
Cork City and Shelbourne failed to take advantage of the slip as they drew 1-1.
Brian Mooney gave Shels the lead with a spectacular goal after 8 minutes.
John Caulfield equalised shortly afterwards. Shels had the better chances
and Cork will be much happier with the point considering they meet again at
Bishopstown on Wednesday in a rearranged tie.
Galway got back to winning ways as 2 late goals beat Bohemians. Ronan
Killeen gave Galway a first half lead. Jim Crawford equalised just after
the interval. Jumbo Brennan made it 2-1 3 minutes from the end and in an
action packed finish Bohs had Maurice O'Driscoll sent off for an off the ball
challenge on Keith Lambert. Donie Farragher made it 3-1 in injury time.
Byrne gave Monaghan a first half lead against Cobh and they appeared to sit on
the lead. Francis missed a penalty for Cobh after 65 minutes but the
equaliser finally came after 87 minutes when Kenny O'Rourke headed home.

Kevin McCarthy's second half goal was enough to give Limerick both points
against Drogheda. John Ryan missed 2 penalties for the visitors. McCarthy
gace Limerick a 70th minute lead. Brian McKenna was sent off for bringing
down John Ryan but striker Fran Hitchcock saved the penalty. Stephen
Craig was then sent off for handball on the line but Ryan sent the resultant
penalty wide. The nine men held out for 3 valuable points.
Donie Farragher scored twice and Jumbo Brennan got one as Galway hammered
Shamrock Rovers 5-2. Noel Mernagh and Mark Herrick got the others. Stephen
Geoghegan and Derek McGrath got the consolation goals.
Tony Cousins and Dave Tilson got the goals as Bohs defeated Shels at
Dalymount. Cousins scored after 20 minutes and Bohs then had Donal Broughan
sent off. The 10 men still won comfortably.
No goals at Oriel Park or at Gortakeegan. Monaghan, Dundalk and Pats have
nothing left to play for and it shows.
Morley 2, Gaynor and Caulfield scored the goal as Cork put 4 past Derry.

Even the opponents of the top 6 (and I'm one of them) cannot argue with the
quality matches it turns up every week. There were three mouth watering
clashes this weekend and none disappointed. Cork drew the largest crowd
ever for a league match in Galway. The crowd went home disappointed but
few will quibble with the football on offer. Cork had the better of the
first half and just about deserved their interval lead. John Caulfield
snatched the lead goal just before the break. The second half was a different
story. Galway camped in the Cork half but failed to take advantage of their
territorial superiority. The departing fans bemoaned their bad luck but
nothing should be taken from an exceptional defensive display by the Corkmen
who looked every inch a championship side. Keith Lambert did hit the underside
of the bar. A braver referee would certainly have given a penalty when Noel
Mernagh was flattened in the box but Johnny Glynn and Tommy Gaynor were
lethal on the break and one got the feeling that this was going to be Cork's
day. Galway will play worse and win but Cork had the look of champions.
The only football match in this country that generates passionate hatred among
the fans is the meeting of Bohs and Rovers. We don't have any other local
derbies but this makes up for it. Rovers are faltering in the title race.
This was their 5th defeat in 7 games. Bohs are merciless and hope to repeat
the dose in the cup next week. Stephen Geoghegan gave the Hoops and early
lead but self doubt is now in evidence and Tony Cousins headed home an equaliser
midway through the second half. Dave Tilson grabbed the winner 6 minutes
later to leave the northside of Dublin a lot happier than the southside
tonight.
Shelbourne and Derry played out an entertaining 1-1 draw. Barry O'Connor
scored early and Donal O'Brien equalised on 23 minutes. Shels should have
beaten a depleted northern side but they held on for a point.
Gary O'Sullivan scored the only goal as Cobh beat Limerick. He scored
just before the break and Cobh survived a nervous second half before
moving 4 points clear of the bottom two.
Trevor Crolly and Lee King got second half goals to keep Drogheda's slim
hopes of avoiding the drop alive.
Van Gothe gave Dundalk an early lead in Monaghan but Paul Newe grabbed an
equaliser just before the break. This was an entertaining albeit meaningless
game.

Again I missed the friday match ,this time to attend a redundancy
party (alot of those ,these days ).I was at dalymount last monday
to see Shels beat Bohs after a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals
of the Leinster senior cup.They now face ???? in the final (mindblank)
Shels failed to make up ground on rovers by drawing against Derry
on friday and must see their league chances slipping away by the game
too many draws ..Again its a game,by all accounts,they should have won
but failed to capitalise on their superiority.This has happened too
often this season and i suppose three managers in three months doesn,t
help.It looks like the best they can hope for is a cup-treble.
They are in the final of the league cup ,leinster senior cup and
still in the fai cup as well.
cheers

The cup holders were the first team knocked out of the F.A.I. cup as Limerick
pulled off the shock of the round at Tolka. Garret Ryan's 66th minute goal
separated the sides but it was the least Limerick deserved. Shelbourne
rarely threatened. Limerick had most of the first half but failed to take
their chances. The small crowd constantly barracked the home side and Vinny
Arkins came in for some particularly vicous abuse. After 66 minutes Garret
Ryan side-footed Kevin McCarthy's cross to the net. The expected Shelbourne
onslaught never materialised
Bohs and Rovers must meet again as the tie of the round finished all square.
Cousins gave Bohs a 33rd minute lead with Geoghegan equalising just before
the interval.
John Ryan gave Drogheda a 25th minute lead at the Brandywell but second
half goals from Vaudequin and O'Brien put Derry through.
Galway and Dundalk played out their 3rd scoreless draw this season.
Galway had the better of teh game but Dundalk will enjoy home advantage for
the replay and must be favourites.
Johnny Glynn and Pat Morley both scored twice as Cork hammered Elm Rovers.
Curry snatched a late consolation.
John Coady got the only goal after 59 minutes as Monaghan beat Longford.

Well Gary I guess you could call it a draw at the weekend
Everton beating Chelsea and Limerick beating Shelbourne
I got to Tolka to see the second half ,They charged me a pound
at the gate and i feel i was robbed with the crap that was on display.
I cant comment on the first half but the second was dismal.Limerick
defended almost comfortably against Shels powder-puff attack .Limerick
had one break and scored a good goal and hung on ,again quiet
comfortably with the exception on a clearance off the line from a
Barry o Connor shot which was Shels sole attempt on goal .
It was one of those games where if shels were still playing they
wouldn,t have scored and afterwards the "I told you so merchants"
were all there to see .You are right Gary about the barracking that
the home players got from the crowd and i must admit on that display
they proably deserved it ,Remember that Shels paid 30,000 for Arkins
and 15,000 pounds for O Connor ,the dearest forward line in the league
and all they could muster in the second half was one effort ..
Best of luck to Limerick (my mother is from there) but realisticly
they wont go too far in this cup ..
Cheers

Monaghan dominated the first half in Rathbane but had only one goal to show
for it at the interval. Mick Byrne raced through the home defence to score
midway through the half. Limerick's first ever home match on a ground owned
by the club had a happy ending. Two goals in 2 minutes just after the break
settled the game. First Kevin McCarthy snapped up the rebound as Brian
O'Shea stopped Michael Kerley's shot. Daithi McMahon then scored the winner
second after coming on as substitute. Limerick played much better from then
on and ran out deserving winners.
Cork City went top of the table albeit on goals scored after a victory over
Shamrock Rovers. Johnny Glynn was the hero scoring both goals. The first
came after 36 minutes when he beat Alan O'Neill with a 25 yard drive. The
second came after 54 minutes when he converted Pat Morley's cross. John
Toal did get a penalty for Rovers but it was too little too late. Alan O'Neill
made a remarkable one-handed save to deny Glynn a hatrick.
Drogheda earned 3 vital points after coming from behind to beat Cobh. Gary
O'Sullivan headed the visitors into the lead in the opening minute but
Lee King converted 2 second half penalties to take the points.
Derry were not too pleased at a Sunday Independent preview claiming that Bohs
were a far superior side. They followed up their December 3-0 hammering of
Bohs with a 4-0 victory. Coyle, O'Brien and Kinnaird were among the goals.

In my innocence I went to Dalyer on wednesday night ,,
I couldn,t make up my mind who I wanted to win it .
It was a frantic match ,very little skill and a lot of high
aerial balls .Rovers had most of the play in the first half but
bohs went close on the breaks .John Toal was sent off in the
second half for a second bookable offence ,alto he elbowed
Ken Da Mange in the face so he had to go ..
The rovers goal was a beaut ,scrambled corner with the ball falling
to the unmarked Tony Cousins who vollyed into the roof of the net .
Rovers regrouped but Geoghan (their only danger man)was man-marked
out of the game and they didn,t really come close ..

There was only one goal at Carrig Park but Fermoy and Limerick served up
a cracking cup tie. Limerick dominated the early stages and a cricket score
looked likely. Garret Ryan was denied by a post, Michael Kerley scored
with a right foot drive and Kerley was denied by the keeper. Fermoy found
their feet and came much more into the game. A goalmouth scramble almost
yielded an equaliser. Albert Finnan and a Fermoy midfield player were then
dismissed for fighting as the tie frequently boiled over. 6 yellow cards
were also shown. The dismissals inspired the home side and they almost
equalised just before the break when the crossbar denied Barry McMahon. The
second half was also end to end. Ray O'Halloran cleared off the line but
Garret Ryan and Gerry Kelly almost got the insurance goal. Limerick held
on for a victory that was just about deserved and one which left the large
crowd breathless.
Gavin Dyes and Ricardo Gabbiadini struck twice early in the second half
to dispatch the league leaders and champions. Cork were outplayed by the
first division side and the packed house in the Sligo showgrounds savoured
one of their most memorable cup wins.
Eddie Gormley gave Bray a first half lead but Donal O'Brien struck twice in
first half injury time to end their hopes. Liam Coyle made it 3-1 to Derry
early in the second half.
Finn Harps outplayed Monaghan but the premier division side held on for a
replay.

Cobh came to Limerick for a point and they got it without too much trouble.
A poor game disappointed the small attendance and this has left Limerick
rooted to the bottom of the league.
Cork stay top as 2 late goals denied Galway a point. John Caulfield followed
up to score after Johnny Glynn's 76th minute shot was blocked. Pat Morley
secured the points with a wind assisted goal near the end.
Shamrock Rovers got their title challenge back on the rails with the first
win since the league split. Eoin Mullen headed Rovers into a 20th minute
lead but a Donal Broughan penalty got Bohs back on terms after 48 minutes.
John Toal converted a penalty 18 minutes from time to seal the 3 points.
Derry and Shels played out a dismal draw at the Brandywell with Ken O'Doherty's
54th minute dismissal being the highpoint. Dundalk and Monaghan played out
an equally boring 1-1 draw before a small crowd at Oriel Park. 2 Lee King
goals helped Drogheda move up 2 places and out of the relegation places.

| Derry City emphatically won the FAI League Cup last night at Tolka playing out a
1-1 draw in the second leg having easily won the first leg 2-0 at the
Brandywell. This result should give Derry great optimism in their FAI Cup run,
and provided the injury sustained in last night's match to the best striker in
the LOI Liam Coyle is not too serious (substitued a minute after scoring) Derry
will win the cup and bring them back to the European stage next year. It should
also guarantee that their care taker manager Tony O'Doherty gets the Derry
hotseat next year.

I witnessed the demise of Shelbourne last night in the second leg of
the league cup .Losing 2-0 from the first leg ,they only started
playing when Derry added a third .The Derry goal came from a mistake
from Tommy Dunne who ,from a throw-in ,threw a weak pass to Jodi
Byrne ,who was never the quickest of his line ,hesitated and let
Liam Coyle in to dribble past him and score into an empty net .
Shels rallied and Greg Costello bundled an O Neill parry over the
line .This seemed to give a bit of heart to the Shels and O Doherty
saw his header hit the upright while Mooney hit the post with a shot
but the rally only lasted 10 minutes ,Last season they would have
bombarded the Derry goal but alas not this season.No Pride out there
this year .The only ones playing their hearts out for the reds were
Mick (baresi)Neville ,Anto Whelan and Brian Mooney who must be one of
the most skillful players in the league (but will he stay ).
Still the Leinster senior cup final against Dundalk but thats about it.
Shels play Bohs on friday

Limerick played a defensive game at United Park and came away with a point.
This leaves Limerick still bottom of the table albeit with a game in hand.
Shamrock Rovers are back on top of the table. If the league title does end up
at the RDS this will surely go down as the turning point. Ricky O'Flaherty
scored 2 brilliant goals to give Galway a two goal lead after 16 minutes.
Derek McGrath and John Toal had Rovers level by the break and Stepehen
Geoghegan volleyed the winner after 71 minutes of a pulsating game. Galway
desperately tried to equalise but they were denied.
Cork led twice in Derry but still lost. John Caulfield gave Cork a 20th
minute lead. Stuart Gauld converted a penalty after Liam Murphy had handled.
Pat Morley restored Cork's lead 3 minutes into the second half but Fergus
O'Donoughue scored an own goal to leave the sides level entering the closing
minutes. Stuart Gauld curled a free kick past Harrington to snatch the points.
Mick Doohan gave Dundalk a first half lead in Cobh but Alan O'Neill equalised
just after the interval.
Tony Cousins scored twice in the second half as Bohemians defeated Shelbourne
in a meaningless game at Tolka.

The referee needed an escort off the pitch at Rathbane after one of the most
disgraceful performances ever by a LoI referee. Twice he incorrectly
overruled his linesman as Limerick forwards bared down on goal. He also
dismissed goalkeeper Joe Barriscale. The game itself was a cracking 2-2
draw with Sean Riordan giving Limerick a first half lead. Kevin
McCarthy restored the lead for the 10 men with 10 minutes left after Nugent
equalised. The game should have been made safe but enter Mr Allen blowing up
for incorrectly for offside. From the resultant free kick Pats were awarded
a dubious penalty and David Campbell scored an undeserved equaliser.
At the other end of the table it was plain sailing for Shamrock Rovers.
Eoin Mullan and John Toal (penalty) gave them a 2-0 half-time lead. Stephen
Geoghegan made it 3 after the interval as Derry City were outplayed.
Rovers now need 2 victories over Shelbourne to clinch the title before
Cork City visit the RDS on Easter Sunday.
Cork's title challenge has come off the rails in the past week. Brian
Mooney gave Shelbourne the lead but Dave Barry headed an equaliser in
first half injury time. Cork only deserved a point after this lethargic
performance.
Ricky O'Flaherty scored a first half goal as Galway won at Dalymount.
Galway's hopes of a European place are now virtually extinct but they
were worthy winners and look likely to claim 3rd spot.
Paul Newe scored twice against his old club to leave Cobh in relegation
trouble. A Sean Byrnes own goal started Dundalk off on a 4-0 rout of
neighbours Drogheda. Mick Doohan 2 and Brian Irwin got the others.

The old cliche about a game of two halves rang true at Rathbane today. The
first half of this cup tie was among the worst in living memory. It was a
drab affair with nothing of note. The second half was thrill a minute and
left the crowd breathless at the final whistle. At the end of a pulsating
contest it was Limerick who emerged victorious. After 51 minutes Johnny
Walsh gave Limerick the lead with a low drive. Monaghan immediately abandoned
their defensive shell and went on the offensive. Good goalkeeping and a little
luck denied them for 14 minutes before a ghastly error by Stephen Craig
gifted Paul Newe the equaliser. A minute later Brian O'Shea dropped a cross
onto the toe of David Minihan and Limerick were ahead again. Minutes later
Alan Kinsella curled a lovely shot against the Limerick upright. Seconds later
Paul Newe hit the other upright with the goal at his mercy. Monaghan carved
open the home defence at will but somehow Limerick held on. Brian McKenna
made 3 superb saves in the last 15 minutes. After 4 minutes of injury time
the final whistle finally blew and the celebrations began. Monaghan were
devastated. They certainly deserved a replay but this result was a triumph
for guts and determination.
Armagh Gaelic footballer Ger Houlihan was the hero as Sligo defeated Cobh.
Houlihan scored a 71st minute winner at the showgrounds.
Gary Heaney scored in first half injury time as Derry beat Pats. Pats
dominated the second half but were left to rue several spurned opportunities.
Karl Gannon gave Home Farm a 62nd minute lead against a lacklustre Bohs side.
The amateurs were denied the victory they deserved when Howie King snatched
an equaliser 5 minutes from time.

It's 15 years since Dundalk tasted defeat in Limerick. For 78 minutes
yesterday they looked likely to record yet another victory and relegate
Limerick in the process but Limerick snatched victory in a thrilling finale.
Dundalk dominated the opening period. Mick Doohan headed them into an early
lead. They had 2 goals disallowed and Brian McKenna denied Coll. Limerick
needing 3 points to keep alive hopes of avoiding the drop finally woke up
after the break and camped in the Dundalk half. Eddie VanBoxtel made a great
save and there were a few scrambles. In the 78th minute Daithi McMahon's
free kick fell to Johnny Walsh and he drove home. Two minutes later Kevin
McCarthy raced clear and beat VanBoxtel. The game wasn't over yet. Dundalk
poured forward and tried vainly to snatch a point but Limerick held on.
Limerick now need to win at Gortakeegan on sunday and hope that Cobh fail to
beat Drogheda.
Both goals came in injury time at United Park. Drogheda thought they had
saved themselves with a penalty from Lee King but Monagahan never gave up
and Mick Byrne equalised 2 minutes later.
Shamrock Rovers need 3 points from their game v Shelbourne on Wednesday to
take the title having beaten the same opposition 3-0 at Tolka on Friday night.
Alan Dodd opened the scoring as Rovers dominated throughout. Eoin Mullen
completed the rout in the last minute.
The rivalry between Limerick at St Pats goes back quite a few years. The
fire was fueled on Saturday night. Pats had already given up 6 points to
Drogheda and three to Cobh thanks to weakened sides. They played out of their
skins in denying Limerick 5 points. On Saturday night at Richmond Park they
fielded a 16 year old keeper and were hammered 5-0 at home by Cobh including a
chipped own goal from John O'Donnell. O'Neill and Francis scored 2 each as
Cobh lead 4-0 at the break. This may well mean that Cobh avoid the drop as
unfortunately the F.A.I. will do nothing about it.

There are certainly nicer places to spend Easter Sunday than Gortakeegan.
Limerick lost to Monaghan despite a brave fight and thus were relegated.
A late Cobh winner would have made victory academic anyway. Philip Power
gave Monaghan the lead just before the break after they had soaked up quite
a bit of Limerick pressure. A second breakaway goal 12 minutes from time
killed off Limerick and Fran Hitchcock's late goal was just a consolation.
Shamrock Rovers rounded off their title success with a 2-0 victory over
runners up Cork City.
An O'Neill goal late in the game gave Cobh victory and condemned an
unlucky Drogheda to relegation. Cobh now meet Finn Harps in a playoff to
decide who gets a premier division place.

I'll enter the LOI games each week as they are all changing the dates
of the games as most of the clubs have floodlights now and are changing to

What size crowds do LOI matches get?
With the Republic of Irelands recent good form and the World Cup etc
has it caused an increase in the popularity of football over there?
Also, has there been a negative effect caused by the fact that most of
the squad play their league football in England?

| Ian,
LOI matches don't get huge crowds, (by Premier League standards,
anyway). It's been a while since I've seen Shamrock Rovers but at a
guess I'd say average crowds would be around the 5-6000 mark....the
success of the National team has given the game a huge boost but it
hasn't really been reflected in the League of Ireland, however it has been
reflected in the amount of alcohol consumed around the time of an RoI
international match....pub owners almost print their own money around
this time....

Does anyone know of a Michael Doohan who used to play with Bray
Wanderers about 7 years ago and the last time I heard was playing
for Dundalk ?
Is he still playing ??
|
| 11.487 | yes | ESSB::BLONG | PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 1993 & 1994 | Thu Nov 24 1994 17:10 | 5 |
| Yes he is still playing in the centre of dundalk's defence.

Thanks,
he's my cousin and I haven't seen him for 6 years. He wasn't to
bad from what I can remember but I used to be able to run rings around
him when we were about 10 years old. He's a big Aston Villa fan but
we all have our faults.
