Not to biased but the Rovers team of the Europa League or Dundalk current batch wouldn't be on par with the team Vs Deportivo. 
I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

Shels mid 00s and the Bohs double team were the best that I have seen.

Only one team in LOI has got though to a European league whilst simultaneously winning 2 in a row
this dundalk team have done a total of sweet f**k all in winning 2 in a row.
If they were to go on a win the league again  next year, or advance to the group stages of a european league then they can be re-assessed.

Agreed that Shels team was the best, was a strong league then too. The Cork City team that won it in 05 and the Derry team were strong too. The standard has dropped an awful lot, this Dundalk team are decent but it is a weak league

Rovers team of 1986 were the best I remember. Winning the double was done with the minimum of fuss...

It`s always hard to compare teams from different eras. I was at the Shels-Deportivo game in Lansdowne and Wes Hoolihan was outstanding in midfield, backed up by a very organised defence.
This current Dundalk team are really good and on their day, are arguably more attractive to watch than what`s gone before. Yes, you could blame that on weaker opposition, but my dad goes way back in the LOI and he compares their passing and movement to the great Hoops sides of the 60`s, with O`Neill, Leech and Brophy in attack.

The best side I've seen was that shells side. As people have pointed out there were some other very good sides in the league at that time.
I think for dundalk to join them as a great LOI side they have to go on a run in Europe.
The current league is poor compared to what it was at the begging of the millennium. There was 7or8 full time outfits at that stage.
The shells side was great to watch with ndo in his prime, Byrne knocking in the goals and Wes emerging.
The bohs side of 08 was feeding off the scraps of the shells side and I think the Salzburg game had to go differently for them to even be involved in this conversation.

That shels team were by far the best team in league over last 25 years imo. While the drogs 07 team weren't easy on the eye, we would've given that shels team a good game.

The cork 05 team were the most entertaining of the lot to watch though, but weren't as good as the above mentioned teams.

This craptown side is nowhere near as good as any of them. It's a very poor league and has been getting worse for a number of years now

Agree that the Shels team was the best in recent memory.

Think people are being a small bit harsh on Dundalk tho. Back to back doubles on the cards. Win it again next year and through a few rounds in Europe and that will elevate them further up the list. 

Agree with Whelo that the overall standard is dropping year to year.
