Figured I'd start up this thread as we are an Irish forum.
The League of Ireland, also known as the Greatest League in the World™, is entering its penultimate round of fixtures with a total of four teams still in with a serious change of winning the title.
Damien Duff's Shelbourne have been top for most of the season, with Duff having learned from Mourinho how to grind out wins. Their form over the past few months has opened the door for the chasing pack. Stephen Kenny's St. Pat's are the in form side. Shamrock Rovers are going for their fifth successive title. Derry City have been thereabouts over the past couple of seasons but have been unable to get over the line and squandered their games in hand, they are also in the cup final. All four sides won tonight.
At the other end of the table, Dundalk have endured a miserable season. They were only playing Arsenal in Europe a few years back but a messy ownership has seen them relegated this season.
There isn't a passing week in the league that something utterly mad happens. Just tonight, the former owners and current owners of Dundalk had to be separated from a fight with each other at full-time.
Stuff like this is a regular occurrence in the league so figured I'd reserve a thread to share some of the funny and bizarre goings on. The league has undergone a bit of a Renaissance over the past few years with attendances across the country on the up.
It is a summer league played on Friday nights. I know we have some fans here so feel free to share some of your favorite or funny moments.
