Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best goal!

4) Robbie Brady N v Oman, 2012
The first senior goal from a bright young thing called Brady. Time is 0:32; time-stamped link is here.

5) Darron Gibson H v Wales, 2011
Maybe the only memorable thing from the Carling Nations Cup.

Gotta be honest - a bit surprised at the lack of love Damien Duff's effort against Canada is getting!

Robinson and Lawrence dead level in second place at the moment in Group J. Still time for that to change though before the Shane Long show gets underway around 6pm

Group J

1) Jason McAteer A v Holland, 2000

2) Liam Lawrence H v South Africa, 2009

3) Michael Robinson A v Holland, 1981
4) Gary Breen N v Saudi Arabia, 2002

The Canadian midfield appeared to have temporarily vanished, their defence was backing off way too much and I think the keeper should have saved it!

Matt Holland's goal A v Portugal has yet to come?

Absolutely. He has three goals yet to come actually. Leave it to ye to work out which three!

Tough crowd! :)

(But not looking to change anyone's mind with any of the votes of course)

Final result in Group J so - McAteer at a canter, and Liam Lawrence pips Michael Robinson by the narrowest of margins (25 to 24) to make the knock-outs. Gary Breen's toe-poke and Niall Quinn's sitting-down goal were nowhere.

Group L so, and presenting for your consideration -

1) Shane Long A v England, 2013
2) Shane Long H v Germany, 2015
3) Ronnie Whelan A v Luxembourg, 1987
4) Andy Keogh H v Serbia, 2008
5) Ashley Grimes H v Spain, 1982

Videos en route...

1) Shane Long A v England, 2013
A lovely looping header in a friendly against England - not that there's any such thing as a friendly against them of course!
