It really was though. You just couldnt script something like that. It was exactly what the torture of being a fan is all about - especially as an underdog. Its moments like that that make the pain worth it.

It couldn’t have even been close. It was by far the sporting moment of the year. People are still talking about it

I think Shane Lowry hitting the decisive putt in the Ryder Cup was up there — but as a football man for me no question it’s Parrott.

McIlroy winning the masters? Kate O'Connor at the worlds? There will obviously be bias towards a football moment on this forum but it was a very decent year in a number of sports for a non-olympic year.

I'm calling bull**** (not on you Eirambler - but the tons of others I've seen referring to it) on the Kate O'Connor achievement in terms on memorability (in the public conscience) vs Parrott's or even McIlroy.
Due to my kids interest rekindling my own previous interest in Athletics, I've been following Irish athletics quite a lot this decade, and very few people (in context) were even aware of what events KOC was competing in and were only tuning in on the final event or two.

The frightening thing is that Hungary almost equalised. Idah's half-hearted attempt to stop the Hungarian advancing would have stayed long in the memory if they had scored from his cross.

I'd say I watch the goal every third day or so. The height Scales got for the header was amazing.
