If you could change one result in Ireland's football history...

Definitely Spain in WC 2002. if only for those missed penalties, us being a man up at one stage, so many if only's. Still hurts.

Then im losin the plot as I sat beside him on the flight from Malta!!

Poland 1 England 1 in the Euro '92 qualifiers, if Poland had won we would have qualified for it.

Poland 3 Ireland 3 .If Dave O'Leary hadn't given the ball away TWICE for two of their goals we would have won and qualified for it. Given a team that didn't qualify actually won the tournament ( Denmark) we might have been in with a chance!:ball:

somebody ban this lad :)

im glad ye beat england that time, now we dont have to hear about spain 82 every time theres a match on up there!

I love it when the North beats England personally speaking it doesn't happen often enough 1972, 2005 ....

Easy choice. Away to Macedonia. Had to go out and buy a new tv after I threw a boot at the tv when they equalized.

Euro 92 definately but NOT the Poland match. It was the 1-1 draw at Wembley that done the damage. We dominated and should have won 3-1, English fans agreed. We could have won Euro 92 as the squad was very experienced and we had a young Roy Keane and Denis Irwin.

For older generation of players its WC78 and WC82. First one robbed by a bent ref in Bulgaria (French manager Hidalgo saw ref the night before with hookers supplied by the commies). The second one robbed in Brussels by bent ref. Eric Gerets dived about fifteen feet for a free kick in last min and Ceulemans fouled our keeper (McDonagh?) to score. After ref had dissallowed a perfectly good Stapleton goal in first half and booked Brady for protesting at half time. Belgian football was ridled with corruption at the time as Nottm Forest and Spurs found out against Anderlecht.

Also people say Wim Kiefts goal in Euro88. Damage was done in the 1-1 draw with Russia. Had we beaten them 2-0 as we should have done we'd have gone through to play average German team i semis.

Spain in '02, forget about it. You can't win if you only score three penalties out of seven.
