From 4-4 to 11-5 - a great run in the second half for the 94 kit, and it romps into the semis.
Last quarter-final now, and then the semis to start on Monday. Your choices are the Euro 2016 away kit and the Euro 88 qualifying kit.

Euro 88.
Euro 88.
Euro 88, no doubt.
Euro 88.
88 qualifying all day long.
On the Euro 88 bandwagon too
2016. one of our better away efforts as a full kit
Euro 88
2016 by a mile
Rescind that name immediately eastrutherford94
Euro 88
2016, even the material in it was nice to wear.
2016.
2016. Classy kit
Euro 88
Euro 88.
That looked like it was going to be carnage for a while, but 2016 fought back to regain some respectability, only losing 10-5.
That's our four semi-finalists decided so - and they're all consecutive. Euro 88 kit, Italia 90 kit, WC 94 qualifying kit, and WC 94 kit. The Macedonia kit one of the most popular kits not to make it. Nostalgia bias, or an accurate reflection?
The first semi will go up on Monday morning, Tuesday then will be the second semi, Wednesday will be the third-fourth placed play-off, Thursday will be the final, and Friday will be wondering what the next tournament will be!
Open draw for semi or seeding? 90 and 94 probably the favourites with Alan McLoughlin a dark horse, 88 the outsider? Hard to see past 1990 really if there's any justice in the world.
Open draw all the way (except when I had to twice redo the round 2 draw to stop the reprieved Euro 2012 kit from again facing the kit that had beaten it in round 1)
Beat home performance, best away performance? We’ve had best goal right?Quote:

Best goal scored against us might have had its own thread at one stage? Or something similar.
Best performances would be awkward with the different age groups, unless we kept it to last 10/20 years or whatever.
There was a thread about best goal, but I think it was aimed at complete out of the blue wonder strikes. It could work here.
Best performance mightn't be so clean because I can show a picture of the kit or a video of the goal, but the whole match is something different people would remember differently - just look at how people saw the goalkeeping performances in the past week!
Then something random and non-Irish - like best international kit - might be a bit of craic too, albeit harder to source nominations.
I was thinking best goalkeeper kit would be the obvious next stop for this; lots of interesting variations, though keepers' kits have gotten very bland in the past few years.
Yes I think best GK kit would be good.Quote:

Looks like you missed it!
Knocked out by McAteer's goal away to the Dutch in the last 16. And was runner-up in its group behind Houghton against Italy in 94.
And how wrong that was.Quote:

Hit too hard to be saved. It was a rocket.Quote:

Agree. I was at that game, parallel to where he shot from and it absolutely flew in. Robbie’s goal was a lovely finish in that game too actually.Quote:

Here we go so. Four days to decide it all. First up - Italia 90 v the 94 qualifying kit. Which means ye now know what tomorrow's semi is too

Italia 90
Italia '90.
Agreee with Eirambler on Kennedy's goal, if the keeper tips that over it's not even considered a particularly good save imo. But then again it was knocked out to a 'team goal' where a tackle from the opposition was the assist, and a jammy shinner won the whole thing :o
Italia 90.
Italia '90 for me too. And I say that as a huge fan of the other one too.
94 but it's a hard call.
Italia 90
This would have been a good final actually, two really nice kits. I think though, on balance, the 1990 kit is the slightly nicer of the two.
