RTÉ's Great FAI Cup Final Goals

Has everyone seen these?

It's a fairly arbitrary selection, few of which merit the appellation "great" (more like 10 FAI Cup Goals We Didn't Tape The Premiership Over) but withal a welcome and historically valuable glimpse into RTÉ's archive.

Harry McLaughlin's goal v. Bohs is probably the pick. Listen out for Hamilton's laughable attempt to redeem his fluff in the 1990 clip. (Also, just how old is Ger Canning?)

RealPlayer format, so the quality is pretty abysmal throughout.

No Shero :rolleyes: - anyway apart from his, in recent years - Liam Coyle!

With Gerry Carr's goal, George Hamilton says "Johnny Kenny's done it":rolleyes:. Calls him Gerry Carr during the replay of the goal though.

I notice they are all recent goals., they probably don't have the older matches me thinks?

no Johnny Glynn ??????????? 1991 ???????????????????

When seen later in replays, it was clear that Donal O' Brian had headed into his own goal.

Harry McLaughlin's goal for Sligo one of my all time favourite sporting moments.

Tony Stenson's first goal wasn't too bad either :)

No Tony O'Connor Double winning goal in there either :(

Showing your age there if you think the final from 26 years ago is a recent game! ;)

Here's two of Brendan Bradley's goals in the final against Pats in 74.

Goals are nothing amazing but check out the size of the crowd in Dalymount.

Honestly can't believe Shero's lob in 96 isn't in there. Nor Geoghgo's winner in the replay at Dalyer (aah, I've just spotted the flaw with that one!)

When I click "view clip" it saves an ".smil" file to my desktop, what software do you need to open such a file and is there an easier way to open these files.

You need RealPlayer to access these files, unfortunately. www.real.com.

They migtn't work from these links in all players, go to RTE sport's webpage and they probably will...

Where was the '84 Cup Final played?:confused:

****in hell!

Is that a stand down the Drumcondra end where the goal was scored?

What age was Joe Hanrahan then? Think he signed for us round 98/99 and that was '84:confused:


Where have all those UCD fans gone? There was actually a proper 'roar' when they scored. Something I've never heard from them b4! :eek:

I have RealPlayer but the quality is ****e. It shows two or three frames at about twenty second intervals. I can hear the commentary but there's no actual moving picture. Help?
