Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has a link to the RTE commentary for the goal?

Thanks

I'll take all the flak I rightly deserve. That was a great performance regardless of how poor Italy were. All saying in England that Ireland really put everything into it on the pitch.

I know a few people have posted that this was the first competitive game that Shane Long started, and we went on to win, but it's not true. Shane Long's first competitive start was the 2-1 win over San Marino under Staunton.
It was his first starting competitive win since that game though, which probably led to the confusion

Thanks but cannot see it from Belgium :(

Ah. That's the only link I've seen anyway; anything on YouTube seems to either be people videoing the replay, or some random other channel.

One stat that has emerged, and I'm open to correction on this, is that no Irish born player from outside Dublin has scored at a major finals. All have been from Scotland, England, Wales or Dublin.
Houghton, Whelan, Sheedy, Quinn, Aldridge, Holland, Keane, Duff, Breen, St Ledger, Hoolahan and now Brady.

Northside / Southside breakdown? Looks 3-3 to me :)

[Kingdom]

Brady is a Fingallian.

[Stuttgart88]

Duff (Ballyboden) ,Keane (Tallaght) and Quinn (Perrystown) - all SS.

Wes (Sherriff Street?), Whelan (Whitehall?), Brady (Fingallian as you say).

[tetsujin1979]

Thought Brady was from Baldoyle?

[BonnieShels]

Duff (Ballyboden) ,Keane (Tallaght) and Quinn (Perrystown) - all SS.

Wes (Sherriff Street?), Whelan (Whitehall?), Brady (Fingallian as you say).

I thought Glenn was from Palmerstown?

St Ledgers from Co Birmingham!
Via Co Carlow

[Stuttgart88]

I thought Glenn was from Palmerstown?Remind me which major championships finals goal Glenn scored.


Thought Brady was from Baldoyle?Isn't Baldoyle in Fingal? It's near Barrytown.

Touché. It's the primacy of the recent. You know us kids.

[tetsujin1979]

ah, I wasn't sure what constituency Baldoyle was in

First chance to login since I have returned from France. Can't go to Lyon - no ticket and sick as a pig. Thank God the Italians had already qualified and O'Neill picked a team to get among them. It panned out as we had dreamed, including a late winner. Hendrick player of the tournament so far. Everything else covered but let's not regard this as job done. Unlikely to get much again from the ref tomorrow. 0-0 and penos.

Wes is from off Parnell St iirc, so yeah, northsider.

Whelan is from Clondalkin I'm sure

[BonnieShels]

Whelan is from Clondalkin I'm sure

Either way he's not from Ballyer and therefore not worthy of discussion.
