Wasn't that a deal between Coventry and Madrid? Betis wouldn't sell Jarni to their rivals, so madrid made arrangments with coventry (why coventry? no idea!) to buy him and then madrid would buy him off them. Madrid get their man, Coventry make £1m, jarni goes to his dream club. everyones happy. Except Betis

pretty much but there was a big deal about them chasing him and him coming to the ground. Also Coventry lost out cause he was class.

The whole 2006 season (except for beating Cork on telly), we only avoided a play-off because Dublin City went bust. Easily the worst Bray team I've ever seen.

Stephen Gough.

Robbie Doyle.

Anytime we play a team of equal or lesser strength.

Not really my club but still funny:D

Probably already referred to in this thread. Funny, bordering on embarrasing, with a touch of "WTF"

Nearly being called Bath FC. :eek:

Winning the Irish Cup in 1920 without having to play the final. :cool:

Withdrawing at the semi-final stage the following year, telling the IFA to shove it and setting up the FAI.

Getting suspended by the FAI in the 30s for a whole season. (Yup, the whole club. No ball. One year.)

The RTE documentary during the 1974/75 season. Priceless stuff. :pac:

Cup final defeats in 1923 and 1975. :mad: One to a bunch of non-leaguers, the other to a bunch of amateurs.

Paying for George Best to appear for the opposition in a league game.

Harold's Cross. Enough said.

Hibs.

Countless times throwing away the league at the end of the season.

Off the field relegation and almost extinction.

But more than one team have played at Harold's Cross, I found it easier to identify the club by the other bits in its history.

Davidth88

Losing 6 0 to Rotherham........ we were actually cheering when Peter Barota picked the ball out of the net the 6th time

Electric fences.

Ken Bates ..... oh how we laughed when he purchased Leeds !

Escaping relegation to the old third at Grimsby ( still have a soft spot for them )

Bogarde.........

Getting excited winning the ZDS Trophy, Graham Roberts scoring one of the best own goals I have ever seen.

Winning 2 0 to Arsenal with 20 odd mins to go , then Kanu ... and getting soaked to the skin into the bargin
