Close to tears at an international

[Paddy Garcia]

Every time Stan stood up to make a substitution.

same here - still hurts the most, a mixture of my youthful exuberance, panini sticker collection and optimism, the beating of England and the moral victory over the USSR, the **** crossing of Chris Morris, the hopes of a nation, the fear of Gullit, Rijkaard and VanBasten, the sea of green on TV, the inflatable hammers, McGrath, Aldridge, the post, the crossbar, the scramble on the line, the offside, the header, the spin, the hurt, the tears...
Well done, you managed to get it in a nutshell there! :)

Slightly off thread, but I was shown an old ticket for Charltons 1st game in charge against Wales, and it had his picture on it, does anyone remeber was this a one off or not, I remember being on the south terrace but not the picture on the ticket.


Where was that played, as I have it in my head that it wasn't at Lansdowne ??

It was in Lansdowne alright - complete with a burning Union Jack. :rolleyes:

Neville Southall broke his leg?

Ha! This thread was the inspiration for a newspaper article yesterday:D

It was on page 22 of The Star. Anyone else see it?

The article quoted Claret Murphy, Irish Ultra, Greenforever and myself.

Lansdowne, attendance about 13,000 if I remember right, a Weds afternoon, no floodlights in those days, Wales won 1 - 0 and as previous post Southall broke his leg, the rest is history:D

Haven'r met Bulgaria since the 88 group stages, is that a good omen?

not sure i cried but was never more depressed then after the shootout vrs spain in 02 and that croatia game too.i was so emotionally drained after that spainish game in 02 that i was in bed and asleep at 4/5pm that afternoon.

My reaction was the exact same.

I felt bad about it after the fact because it happened to be my sisters birthday, June 16th! And it was even earlier here in the U.S. I collapsed on the bed, because I didn't know what else to do with myself. I fell asleep for most of the day, missed the dinner, and pretty much all the festivities. What a bitter experience it all was. Surely the one that got away.
