She stated that the Freedom of the City title was a hugely significant honour and felt proud 2 to be gathered at the Guildhall to formally acknowledge Mr McLaughlin’s great successes. She described how Mr McLaughlin was dearly loved and cherished by the people from the city and beyond as he had given them a great sense of pride in the local football team, the stadium and achievements. She stated that the fans all agreed that Jim was one of the greatest League of Ireland managers of all time and that this fitting tribute would recognise the winning of the ‘Treble’ 30 years ago; an extraordinary feat which remained unmatched to this day. She stated that during his career, Jim McLaughlin received many prestigious awards including securing the Soccer Writers Association of Ireland Personality of the Year Award in 1979, 1984 and 1989 and a Special Merit award from the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) in 2002. He also enjoyed great success during his career securing 8 league titles, 7 FAI cups and 4 league cups during spells with Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers and Derry City Football Club. Continuing, she stated that she hoped being awarded the freedom of his own city would remain one of his most cherished and proudest accolades. She stated that from speaking to friends and colleagues involved in football, she had heard first hand that the hugely positive influence that Jim McLaughlin has had on football at local, regional and national levels. She stated that not only had he a fantastic career as a football manager, but also as a fantastic striker and one of the nation’s best ever football players receiving a Cap on 12 occasions, and scoring 6 goals for Northern Ireland. She stated that he then played for Birmingham City, Shrewsbury Town and Peterborough over a 14 season period, scoring an impressive 26 league goals with 456 appearances. The Mayor stated that Council was delighted to be in the position to officially honour and recognise his achievements during the 1988/89 season and to formally confer the Freedom of the City upon him. She described him as a national treasure and a hero in the eyes of the people of the city who were delighted that he and his family could hear the tributes and that he be acknowledged for his success. She stated that everyone who played with him or have watched him from the side- lines all hold him in high esteem and were delighted to bestow this honour upon him. Councillor Carr Proposed, Seconded by Councillor Donnelly 3 That Derry City and Strabane District Council confer the Freedom of the City upon Mr Jim McLaughlin. The Mayor then invited Councillor Carr to address Council. Councillor Carr welcomed Mr Jim McLaughlin, his family and friends and several of the players from the 1989 Derry City Football Team. He stated that the FAI was formed in Dublin in September 1921 and that the first League of Ireland and FAI Cup winners in 1921/22 were St James’ Gate with the League of Ireland Shield, now known as the League Cup was won in that first season by Shelbourne. He stated that all three competitions were ongoing and the only team to have won all three competitions in the same football season was Derry City Football Club. This illustrated how unique a team they were with 33 games played, 24 wins, 5 draws and only 4 lost, whilst scoring 70 goals and conceding only 21. He described how the team which consisted of players from Dublin, Scotland, Northern Ireland and France alongside local players such as Felix Healy and Liam Coyle were under the management of Jim McLaughlin. He further stated that people would remember from that time how much pride the team brought to the city and as the season went on the excitement built up culminating in Derry City Football Club achieving the ‘Treble’. He added that this was the reason for his proposal for the Freedom of the City to be bestowed on Jim McLaughlin, former manager of Derry City Football Club. Councillor Carr recalled that Mr McLaughlin was born in Quarry Street in the Brandywell on 22 December 1940. At the age of 16 he made his Irish League debut for his home town in 1957, scoring in his first match against Crusaders. He went on to become the club’s top scorer with 16 goals in that debut season. He then joined First Division Birmingham City as an apprentice in the summer of 1958 and progressed to the international stage scoring on his debut against Scotland in October 1961. In total he won 12 caps and scored six goals with Northern Ireland. Continuing, he described how Jim McLaughlin accepted an offer to be player/manager at Dundalk Football Club in 1974 which began his managerial career. He stated that during this time the team won 8 League Championships, 6 FAI Cups and 4 League Cups with Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers and Derry City. He stated that this record in football 4 management was second to none in almost 100 years of League of Ireland and only one manager had completed the unique treble. He stated that everyone held such high esteem for Mr McLaughlin which was evident when the team carried him on their shoulders around the pitch at that time and people still felt that sense of pride. Concluding, he stated that Mr McLaughlin was a proud Derry man and because of him Derry won the treble. He stated that the people of Derry were very proud that he was one of them and that he and his late father never missed a football match. He wished Jim and his family all the best for the future and hoped he enjoyed the evening arranged in his honour. Councillor Tierney stated that on behalf of the SDLP, he was delighted to congratulate Jim McLaughlin on receiving the Freedom of the City which he believed was a fitting acknowledgment for his achievements and dedication to sport in Ireland. He stated that Jim McLaughlin was arguably the most successful football manager in Irish football and everyone throughout the city and district should be proud of his achievements. He stated that Jim McLaughlin achieved successes that many young, aspiring footballers from this city can only dream about, not only playing for his home town club but managing them in their most successful period. He outlined how Jim McLaughlin first became a manager in 1974 with spells at Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers, Derry City and Shelbourne and provided promising young footballers from the area with the platform and opportunity to test their ability against the best of Irish football. He stated that Mr Liam Coyle, the youngest player of the winning side commented: ‘He could see things that maybe other people couldn’t see, and that’s maybe the genius of him. He made me believe that I could be a top class player and to go on and do what we did that season was something really special. Jim was probably the most important person I had met in my footballing life’. He stated that this illustrated the esteem in which Jim McLaughlin is held by the people to whose lives he made a difference to and with all those achievements he also brought joy and entertainment to fans who left the city to travel the length and breadth of Ireland to watch his teams play. He stated that his party felt it was entirely appropriate that Jim McLaughlin was recognised by Council. He stated that many would agree that his greatest achievement was leading Derry City to the Treble which has never been repeated within League of Ireland football. 5 He thanked him for his contribution to football in the city and indeed, the country. Councillor Jackson welcomed Jim McLaughlin and his family to the Chamber and echoed the sentiments expressed by the previous speakers. He stated that Sinn Fein would be wholeheartedly supporting the motion to confer the Freedom of the City onto Mr McLaughlin. He stated that it was really a privilege to be part of the conferment of the Freedom of the City, which did not occur very often and reserved to those who had made a special contribution towards the city and district.

  • The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996
    33 Conor Curran ‘It has almost been an underground movement’. The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996 Abstract This article assesses the development of association football at grassroots’ level in County Donegal, a peripheral county lying in the north-west of the Republic of Ire- land. Despite the foundation of the County Donegal Football Association in 1894, soccer organisers there were unable to develop a permanent competitive structure for the game until the late 20th century and the more ambitious teams were generally forced to affiliate with leagues in nearby Derry city. In discussing the reasons for this lack of a regular structure, this paper will also focus on the success of the Donegal League, founded in 1971, in providing a season long calendar of games. It also looks at soccer administrators’ rivalry with those of Gaelic football there, and the impact of the nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association’s ‘ban’ on its members taking part in what the organisation termed ‘foreign games’. In particular, the extent to which the removal of the ‘ban’ in 1971 helped to ease co-operation between organisers of Gaelic and Association football will be explored. Keywords: Association football; Gaelic football; Donegal; Ireland; Donegal League; Gaelic Athletic Association Introduction The nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which is today the leading sporting organisation in Ireland despite its players having to adhere to its amateur ethos, has its origins in the efforts of schoolteacher and journalist Michael Cusack, who was eager to reform Irish athletics which was dominated by elitism and poorly governed in the early 1880s.

  • 1895-1970 – Non League 1970-1978 – Loi B Years
    History Friday, 01 January 2010 00:00 1895-1970 – Non league In 1895, the Catholic University Medical School Cecilia Street Football Club was founded, entering a team in the inaugural Leinster Junior League. The team's first match was against Bohemians B in October of 1895 and ended in a 2-0 defeat. November 1895 also saw the first match against Trinity with a result of 2-0 to Cathlolic University. 1898 Catholic University qualified for the Leinster Senior Cup for the first time - and we reached the semi-final. In 1908, the Catholic University merged with University College Dublin, and the team changed name with the merger. Things weren't quite settled yet, though, as we went through a series of grounds - in Sandymount, Cowper Road, Croydon Park, Fairview and Terenure before moving to Belfield Park in 1935 and now the UCD Bowl in 2008. In the meantime, though, success had been regular. In 1914, we won the inaugural Collingwood Cup - the Irish collegiate championships. The next year, UCD won the IFA Intermediate Cup, beating Portadown 2-1 in a replay in Dalymount Park. The first match had seen UCD draw in Windsor Park on St Patrick's Day. The competition was the 'IFA' Cup because in those days before independence, the IFA governed football over the whole island, and the competition involved teams from the whole island. The Intermediate Cup was one step below the Senior Cup in importance, so it was certainly of some significance. UCD were also involved in the first ever FAI Senior Cup in 1921, when they took on a non-league side at the time, Shamrock Rovers, in Windy Arbour, losing 6-2.

This event, called “Bloody Sunday,” was the subject of two formal inquiries by the British government, one conducted by Lord Widgery in 1972 that exonerated the British soldiers and one led by Lord Saville, which published its findings in June 2010 and found the British troops to be at fault. Before the second investigation gave its report, a number of dramatic productions had contradicted the official British version of events and presented the Irish point of view. Two films and two plays in particular—the drama The Freedom of the City (1973), the filmed docudramas Bloody Sunday and Sunday (both 2002), and the documentary theater production Bloody Sunday: Scenes from the Saville Inquiry (2005)—were aimed at audiences that did not recognize the injustices that took place in Derry.

The first club outside Ulster was Dublin Association Football Club which was formed in 1883. At the time, the Irish Football Association (IFA) was the governing body. Based in Belfast, it found it difficult to promote football throughout the country. This led to the formation of the Leinster Football Association in 1892 as the game became more popular in the area. However, there was always a feeling among clubs from outside the Belfast area that the IFA favoured Ulster based clubs-especially when selecting sides for international matches. Despite this, it was not until after the 1916 Rising and the rise of Nationalism that southern affiliates, such as the Leinster FA, took an aggressive approach in their dealings with the IFA. The clubs often threatened to break away, and in early 1921, Bohemians, St. James's Gate and Shelbourne all withdrew from the Irish League, though all three sides decided to remain involved in Cup competitions.

  • Ritual Performance of Identity by the Shamrock Rovers Football Club Ultras in Dublin
    i On the Terrace: Ritual Performance of Identity by the Shamrock Rovers Football Club Ultras in Dublin A thesis submitted by Max Jack In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music (Ethnomusicology) Tufts University 19 May 2012 Advisers: David Locke and Rich Jankowsky ii Abstract This thesis draws upon the author’s fieldwork conducted in Dublin, Ireland, focusing on a particular group of Shamrock Rovers Football Club supporters called ultras. The primary focus of the SRFC Ultras is to create an aural and visual spectacle through mass crowd participation in the hope that such modes of expression will have an advantageous effect on the outcome of the game and create an evocative response from individuals watching it. The Ultras’ desired aesthetic aims to transform spectators into participants who sing throughout the match, wave flags, light off marine flares, and present hand-made displays. Such performative activities actualize a distinct community that revolves around the Shamrock Rovers sporting narrative. Songs, chants, and all other elements of “atmosphere” are a communicative act between opposing teams based upon the unfolding match. Such experiences revolve around conflict, activating an array of emotions and experiences that would not occur in day-to-day life. iii Table of Contents Introduction…………………………………………………………………………….1 1 Narrativization and the Stadium Rules…………………………………………….21 2 Learning and Performing Identity………………………………………………..39 3 Creating Conflict: The SRFC Ultras, The League of Ireland, and England………64 4 Generating Emotion: Chants and Displays as a Collective Dialogue……………..90 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………122 1 INTRODUCTION On May 16, 2012, I arrived in Dublin airport from Boston to see gray skies outside the airplane window.

  • 2011 FAI Club Licensing Man
    The Football Association of Ireland Club Licensing Manual for the League of Ireland Based on UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations Edition 2010 and UEFA Stadium Regulations 2010 2011 SEASON BLANK PAGE 1 PREFACE I am very pleased to bring you the eight edition of the FAI Club Licensing Manual for the Airtricity League Season 2011. The Club Licensing criteria and processes have been refined, and the focus remains one of continuous improvement. The manual has been developed in consultation with key stakeholders, and I wish to thank all of those who have contributed to this process. Since the first club licensing manual was introduced in 2004, the League of Ireland has developed significantly. In that time, there has been much improvement in standards both on and off the pitch. On the pitch, the UEFA co-efficient has improved from 40 th place to 29 th , whilst off the pitch, infrastructural developments, improved youth development structures and improved Club governance have all served to build a stronger League. This edition is based on the recently published UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations 2010. It includes some of the financial fair play regulations introduced by UEFA this year, with some further financial regulations being phased in over the next two years. While many clubs in Europe continue to operate on a sustainable basis, many others are finding it difficult to co-exist and compete with clubs who continually live beyond their means. Therefore, it is essential in order to ensure the long term viability of the Airtricity League, that we strive for fairness and that our clubs compete on a level playing field.
