Firstly Everton DID win the UEFA cup that year and 2 First Division titles, with essentially the same team, is the following years. Imagine just for a second, any EL team now running Chelski, ManUre this close.
And you forgot to mention the key bit. Hanrahan was clean through in injury time and how he didn't beat Southall, nobody will know. The entire Everton team couldn't believe the ball didn't hit the net. Sheedy, was a *****, in the game. This would have sent UCD through on away goals. (by the way the UCD story of how they beat Rovers to win the cup is great)
Speaking of great results, where the team didn't win - surely Bohs' away to Rangers would have to feature. Leading 3-2 from the first leg, they held out at Ibrox until the 84th minute. I listened to Philip Greene's radio commentary - remember it well (don't know how Phil survived).
There was something special about that.Quote:

Bohs still needed to score two more goals to get through because of the away goals so in reality the tie was more or less dead at the start of the game
As far as I remember from the first game though Bohs were doing well and Molloy(i think it was) got sent off right at half time when the score was 0-0. Would of been an interesting tie if Bohs had of kept 11 on the park
Naturally biased here but our win in Poland. Firstly cos no Irish club had even scored a goal against Polish opposition let alone beat them and secondly Poland are ranked in the top 20 (could be open to correction though).
Boez winning in Germany was great but the tie was over. Their win in Aberdeen was impressive. But alas its only the SPL.
Also our 2-2 draw in Valencia considering we were 2 up at one stage.

City's win in Malmo was pretty good as well though, as their late goal in the first leg must have given them a lot of hope but we held out well and got the killer goal in the second half.
Couldn't believe they went on to win the Swedish league last year when they looked so ordinary against City.
We were away!Quote:

I listened to the second leg of the tie on the radio.
Imagine any EL team today holding a Serie A team scoreless for 2hours and 30 minutes and you see what a monumental performance it was.
A couple of hundred yards away :rolleyes:Quote:

Yeah but not quite as much as celebrating the anniversary of going out to rangers. One leg results don't count for anything espically before co-efficents.Quote:

For many of us who were in Dalymount Park in Sept 1984, the 3-2 win over Rangers represents a football utopia moment (and for me, I was also at Liam's debut in 74, Ray's Stuttgart in 88, Dave's penalty in 90 - so the company is good).
The reason is that AT THE TIME, playing a British club was exciting. They were supposed to be much better than us. In the 80's football of terracing, and crowd rushing, any football game was very different to what it is now.
The night before the game, I'd travelled back from London, via the Liverpool ferry with a load of Rangers supporters. The shopping centre end was reasonably full - many travelled down by bus from Belfast. The atmosphere was tense. There was violence before and after the game. Back then, all this was fun - it was like "real" footy from match of the day.
Rangers scored early and The Shed expected the worst, but the team delivered. The Shed sang in glory. The Gardai even battered the boys in blue at the other end (and The Shed echoed, "Gardai, Gardai").
Indeed, Bohs 3-2 '84, may not be great to you in your Shelbourne, johnny come lately, wannabee euro stars, tolka is our home [sic] teenage bubble. But it was bloody good to me. So if I and others want to cherish the memory of a great night of a great football club, then we will.
Our team - Bohemian FC - is not just a club, it's a way of life. You either get that or you don't (and if you don't you're welcome chez Tolka).

Nearly 20 years without a win :eek: Didn't realise we had it that bad!Quote:

The good auld days are the here and now. :D
Already are, in fact. Seven away wins half way through compared to five in the entire 70s. Maybe not the best way to compare decades, but still!Quote:

There have been alot of impressive results in Europe by different teams in differnet circumstances.
Cork beating Malmo is a top pick. Going there and emerging victorious. brilliant. I'd also think Cork beatin NEC Nimjengen (or whatever) was a good notch for the league.
Bohs beating Aberdeen - there was such euphoria and excitement surrounding this one and was a brilliant game at home.
Bohs beating Kaiser away from home - although the tie was dead it was still a magnificent acheivement to win in Germany.
Shel's losing 5-3 to Rangers was tragic. I remember watching that one and thinking how did they lose that game. If it wasnt for the speed of Albertz peno (straight after shels 3rd) then shels would have recorded the greatest win in europe.
Shel's drawing at home with Deportivo in front of 20k ppl. If Jason Byrne wasnt so nervous, he'd have scored two goals.
Athlone Drawing with the Mighty AC Milan in St Mels. Along time ago but what a result !
UCD losing only 1-nil over two legs to Everton in cup winners cup and everton went on to win it.
and now for some bias :D
Sligo Rovers beating Floriana (ok from malta but significant for the club) 3-2 over two legs.
Sligo Rovers drawing with Nantes in the interto cup. Nantes had lost to juventus in the semi- final of the champs league just a few short months before hand. Also drew with dutch side Hereveen in the same comp.
Not a win or draw but Losing 5-2 on aggregate to Brugge in cup winners cup. Brugge fans gave Rovers a standing ovation for their performance in Belgium. They was 9k in the showgrounds for the home leg. Brilliant stuff for us.
As i said, loads of results to choose from, but those one's spring to mind
serioulsy get over that kaiserslautern result. the tie WAS over. sure you would have had to win 3-0 ffs!Quote:

No obviously beating a German outfit like Kaiserslautern is a **** result. Obviously it did untold damage to the Irish co-efficient :rolleyes:Quote:
