Dublin v ??? - The Farce of 1987


Dublin v Cork - 1987 National League Quarter Final.
The teams were all square at the end of normal time. Both teams retire to their dressing room but only Dublin re-appear for the extra time. Cork (some misunderstanding or strange decision) stay in the dressing room. The ref decides to restart with Dublin facing no opposition. Rumour has it that the Cork players were getting on the bus as Barney Rock scores the easiest goal of his life and Dublin win the match.
Cork subsequently lodged a protest but was rejected.
Dublin go on to win the League
