The division was then split into two groups, a top six and a bottom six. After the split, the six teams played the other teams in their group in a second series of 10 games again using a round-robin format.Graham Alex Football in the Republic of Ireland a Statistical Record 1921–2005 Soccer Books Limited 1-86223-135-4https://www.rsssf.org/tablesi/ierhist.html (Republic of) Ireland League Tables 6 July 2016 live RSSSF https://web.archive.org/web/20080221000146/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesi/ierhist.html 21 February 2008 On the last day of the regular season, Bohemians only needed to draw away to Dundalk to secure the title as they had a two-point advantage over both Shelbourne and Cork City. However Bohemians lost 1–0. Earlier in the day Shelbourne had defeated Derry City 1–0 with a goal in the last minute by Paul Doolin and Cork City beat Limerick 3–0. As a result, all three teams finished level on 40 points. Bohemians actually finished the season with the best goal difference, but at the time League of Ireland rules stated that the title could not be won on goal difference and a play-off would be required.http://www.balls.ie/football/two-times-cork-city-dundalk-won-league-dramatic-circumstances/143436 Two Other Times Cork City And Dundalk Won The League In Dramatic Circumstances www.balls.ie 9 July 2016 24 October 2014http://www.eveningecho.ie/sport/long-title-wait-for-city-ended-in-most-dramatic-fashion-back-in-1993/37920/ Long title wait for City ended in most dramatic fashion back in 1993 www.eveningecho.ie 9 July 2016 23 May 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160816164004/http://www.eveningecho.ie/sport/long-title-wait-for-city-ended-in-most-dramatic-fashion-back-in-1993/37920/ 16 August 2016 https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2024/0924/1471714-loi-title-run-ins-dodgy-buses-and-unused-champagne/ League of Ireland title run-ins: Dodgy buses and unused champagne 25 September 2024 RTE Sport 25 September 2024 Final table main WDL QR 2 yes BOH Bohemians SHE Shelbourne COR Cork City DUN Dundalk DER Derry City LIM Limerick StP St Patrick's Athletic SHM Shamrock Rovers DRO Drogheda United WAT Waterford United SLI Sligo Rovers BRW Bray Wanderers 13 14 5 46 19 15 10 7 53 29 16 8 8 47 34 13 13 6 35 28 11 15 6 26 23 6 15 11 27 31 7 16 9 27 27 8 12 12 39 35 7 13 12 29 41 10 7 15 34 59 R 6 14 12 16 32 R 5 13 14 19 40 R green1 Qualification to Championship play-offs Q Q Q red2 Qualification to Relegation play-off RPO red1 Relegation to League of Ireland First Division REL REL complete www.rsssf.com Results Matches 1–22 main FBR BOH BRW COR DER DRO DUN LIM SHM SHE SLI StP WAT Bohemians 0–2 0–0 1–1 1–1 1–1 0–0 2–1 2–0 4–0 2–0 6–0 Cork City 1–4 1–1 2–1 4–1 0–1 2–1 2–0 2–0 1–1 2–0 1–0 Derry City 0–2 0–1 0–0 1–0 1–1 1–0 1–0 3–1 0–0 0–0 1–0 Shelbourne 1–4 6–2 1–2 4–1 3–1 1–1 1–1 3–2 4–0 1–0 6–0 Dundalk 1–1 3–1 0–0 2–1 1–0 0–0 2–1 1–1 1–1 1–1 4–0 Limerick 0–0 1–1 0–0 1–1 0–1 2–0 0–0 2–3 1–0 0–0 2–2 St Patrick's Athletic 1–1 2–1 1–1 0–0 0–0 0–0 1–0 2–2 2–0 1–1 2–1 Shamrock Rovers 0–1 2–3 1–2 2–2 0–1 1–4 1–1 0–0 0–0 6–1 4–0 Drogheda United 0–0 0–0 0–1 0–2 0–2 2–2 1–1 1–4 1–1 1–0 1–0 Sligo Rovers 1–1 0–3 0–0 0–1 1–1 1–0 1–0 0–1 0–0 1–0 1–2 Bray Wanderers 0–4 1–1 1–2 0–1 1–1 0–2 1–1 0–5 1–1 2–0 1–1 Waterford United 1–0 0–3 2–0 2–1 5–4 0–3 0–2 2–3 3–3 0–1 1–2 complete Matches 23–32 Top Six main FBR COR BOH DER DUN LIM SHE Bohemians 1–1 1–2 2–0 2–1 3–0 Cork City 2–0 1–1 0–1 1–1 1–0 Derry City 2–0 0–0 0–1 1–0 1–1 Shelbourne 0–0 1–0 1–0 1–1 0–0 Dundalk 1–1 2–1 0–2 1–0 1–1 Limerick 0–1 0–2 0–2 0–1 1–1 complete Bottom Six main FBR BRW DRO SHM SLI StP WAT St Patrick's Athletic 2–1 0–1 4–0 0–1 0–0 Shamrock Rovers 1–0 0–3 0–0 0–0 1–0 Drogheda United 2–0 0–0 1–2 1–0 0–1 Waterford United 1–1 1–1 4–0 1–0 1–0 Sligo Rovers 3–1 0–0 1–1 1–1 0–0 Bray Wanderers 0–0 1–2 1–0 0–1 2–0 complete Promotion/relegation play-off This season saw the introduction of a promotion/relegation play-off.
