19 years since I watched my first football match!
17 years yesterday since the 1-1 draw.
Those YouTube clips are class. Such naivety - no worries about getting out of the group or drawing a match or anything...we'll never see those days again. I almost pity those who weren't around for it.
I thought your "drinking head" was in the garage for a major overhaul ahead of the Autumn session!!:DQuote:

Packy Bonner put himself close to world No. 1 at the time with that display alone (Dassayev with USSR was widely considered the best keeper in the world at the time). His saves from Linekar are up there with Houghtons goal. I was 10 i think but i remember it so well. Great days.
The Lineker saves. The last minute save from "Atilla"! right on the goal line. Packy the only Irish player to make into the championship select 11. Remember reading the English papers on the way to the Stuttgart. 3-0 to England and other such crap.Quote:

would that have been the scottish or the welsh?? im not too sure the scots would have been giving us the fingers!!!!
I prefer Gabriel Egan's commentary and Noel King's laughter in the background to Hamilton's dry 1-0
Worth a listen, its on the rte website along with Genoa

19 years since joxer climbed over the top and headed off into the sunset arm in arm with big jack
lump in my throat. Brilliant.
I was 15 at the time, learning to play drums and if I'm truthful -not particularly interested in football. I was going through the teenage slump many lads who aren't good at team sports have where you just walk away from it basically.
My brother stuck a head out the back door and shouted toward our shed at me to shut the fcuk up with them drums -the match has started. I managed to extracate myself from a shed that was a mess of hanging carpets and curtains (hopeless attempt at soundproofing) and made it to the living room just as the free was taken. Mayhem ...sheer fcukin lovely mayhem!!!
In honour of Ray and his goal ...his appearance on Phoenix from the Flames on Skinner and Baddiels Fantasy Football.
Again...............just in case you didn't see it on the previous page!!:DQuote:

Neil said he was going to watch it again last night, so he must have it although I imagine not on his pc.
Yeah plain old VCR.
