HARP LAGER CUP QUARTER-FINAL REPLAY, the Showgrounds, Wednesday 5 April 1995, kick-off 7.00pm. No. 22, season 1994\/95, £1.00.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCENTRALLY PUBLISHED: the FAI's own purple Harp Cup cover reads 'Sligo Rovers (Holders) v. Shamrock Rovers, 1995' — Sligo were the reigning cup winners — with the club's 'The Bit o' Red' cover inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason to own it is page 3. Player-manager LAWRIE SANCHEZ — scorer of Wimbledon's winning goal in the 1988 FA Cup final — gives his whole column to the refereeing of the drawn original tie at the RDS. He argues the foul on Mark Reid was inside the area, 'a fact confirmed on television later', that the linesman gave the referee no help, and that 'the only two people at the R.D.S. on Sunday who did not think it was a sending off and a penalty were the two whose opinion mattered the most'. He records putting it to the referee afterwards, and the referee replying that he would apologise if television proved him wrong: 'I said I would if I was wrong and I would expect the same if he was wrong.' He then describes the flashpoint at the other end and the 'handbag stuff' that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe closes by congratulating Robert Brunton on an FAI National League Under-21 call-up he had to withdraw from, and Eddie Annand, Will Hastie, Johnny Kenny and Robert Bruton on All-Star nominations. Page 15 carries the full 1994\/95 season record including the European Cup Winners' Cup ties with Floriana and Club Brugge. Match sponsor The Star.
