eircom International Goal of the Year: Kevin Kilbane v Czech Republic ECQ 11.10.06 (H)
terry dixon under 17 award - definitely a case of staying on the right side, given that he's been injured the last while
I suspect it is more related to his achievements as leading goalscorer for Ireland U17's.
Worst decision of ALL TIME !Quote:

They should have selected one from the underage teams.
Yeah but they'd probably have to have a video or highlight of that wouldn't they? :DQuote:

Kilbane's goal obviously got the vote due to importance / significance.
From a quality / technique etc perspective - Millers goal would be the best goal.
I voted for Kilbane on the Goal of the Year thread here as I thought we were a more discerning lot!!!!!!
Can someone please explain how that talent wasting muppet John Paul Kelly got selected above Anto Stokes for under-19 player of the year?
How many games have they both played for the U-19s?Quote:

:confused:
It also seems to be based on last seasons group of players as Kelly or Stokes wasn't involved in the October qualifiers. Rooney got 5 goals in 3 games and wasn't nominated. Dixon wasn't involved in the U17 qualifiers because of injury.
Who was that p1ss head that was singing at the end,what was that all about
I saw him on the Late Late show a few weeks ago too. Very strange.:confused:
