Ironic that on the day the world cup begins that this day 20 years ago Ireland took part in their first ever world cup game against England
and Sheedy stuck it in the net :-)

And the linesman not calling Alan McLoughlin offside.
Rain came from nowhere and bucketed down. Luckily we were i nthe bottom tier and managed to shelter from the worst of it. Stadium was half empty too.
Where have the 20 years gone?
Great result albeit from a poor game.
Did you play?? ;)Quote:
