(a bit off point but it was an unreal night and best celebratoin by fans i can remember -
another was quinns equaliser against england in wembley - class
Yeah, I'd have to agree. Keane against Germany will take some beating.
yea, keane against germany gets my vote.
I think you need to qualify your choice with your age. Most goal celebrations pre buckets seats in lansdowne were nuts but a lot of guys here wouldnt remember.
Brady v Brazil was nuts (pardon the pun)
Kennedy and Keane v Yougoslavia (mid-war). scaffolding swayed about 3 feet either way for 35 minutes after the scored
Fair point...Stapletons equaliser V Spain in 3 3 draw was my first ROI game.I was on the South Terrace and remember being shoved down about ten steps while freaking out at same time.No floodlights and it was practically dark.Quote:

Stapleton (Or Michel own goal) against spain at landsdowne in 89 was also superb.
Quinn Vs Holland in Palermo, the torture on a hot balmy night in Palermo was over. We could relax knowing we'd made the second round.:)
Ok I know this one wont count in the history books but the atmosphere in Lansdowne was class. When we scored the South terrace erupted then got aload of chairs f**ked at us but hey great 5 mins of celebrating
Stapleton equaliser against Spain (3-3) at Lansdowne in early 80s. I was on Sth Terrace and, no exaggeration, I was swept 30 yards from where I was standing by the crowd surge. Pre-Hillsborough obviously, as I think we'd all take a different view of it now.
Of the modern era Robbie's equaliser in Ibaraki. It was so final, and so unexpected.
Along the same lines as Ibaraki being so unexpected, was anyone in Brussels in '97 for the playoff? I wasnt:( , but i remember watching on tv and going absolutely ballistic. At that point until Houghton scored i couldnt see us hitting the net all year..
That was the goal that caused the riot rightQuote:
