both were unreal
was in the local when shels played Split away (I could not afford to go as I had spent my money in Iceland). There were two of us havin a pint and getting txt updates from another mate who was there. Heard we were losing three one so had given up hope. At 9.16 my phone beeped again. I thought-it's either 4-1 or it's full time. To my joy, the txt read - 3-2 Moore 90mins. We both went absolutely crazy. I will never forget it. Thankfully we stuffed them in the 2nd leg. In 14 years following Shels, that tie with Split has been by a long way my best memory.
Domestically, the '96 cup final stands out. Pats were awarded a peno in the 80th minute. I was gutted. Gormley missed and 90 seconds later the ball was in the other net. Unbelievable feeling. Sadly, I doubt either of these scenarios will ever arise again. But the memories will live with me forever.
full time V Bohs in the Showgies(:))beating Cork 2-1 in Turners this year,and the craic with the Cork lads afterwards. (this season)
Paul McT's goal in Tolka V Killester last season in extra time was pretty special, also his goal V Harps in 03' (i think) ..just for the fact id never seen Rovers beat Harps in Finn Park till that day.
gerry car getting on the end of pugsys cornor in landsdowne 1994 fai cup final.....one of the best feelings il ever have(it was before i discovered wimmin :D)....brugge in the cup winners cup when johnny kenny scored...3-3 draw with nantes on a sunday afternoon in front of a tiny crowd in the inter toto, pity more people werent there to witness it, we were 3-1 up at one stage i think!winning the league cup in tolka - great to make up for the defeat on penos in the same venue!
Have to say hard to say one. Without doubt the day in Kilkenny when we finally won the league. A great feeling although the last few minutes as the Shels game dragged on was painful but well worth it in the end. Always wondered what it would be like to win the league in such dramatic fashion, well actually always wondered what it would be like to win the damn thing.
Also the game away in Aberdeen, 1-0 down to 2-1 up in a matter of minutes. Unreal scenes as the 2 goals went on and the start of a great season, K'Town, goals galore, our first league in a long time and a double. All down to Roddy Collins :D
Supporting Sligo isnt very exciting really is it? :)Quote:

A late equaliser by (big) Dominic Iorfa against Longford in Longford (pre-development) very late 90s to take a cup tie to a replay (which we lost)
Most recently the cup semi win in Derry mentioned earlier
Blues fans....help needed with correct dates for the Power and Iorfa incidents above please ?????
As a neutral seeing Bohs comeback 4-0 down to Rovers to win 5-4 was incredible in the Morton stadium ,still count myself lucky to have been there for that one - surprised this didn't get a mention in previous bohs post
4-1 down at half-time to win 6-4 ;)Quote:

Four of us having a whole terrace to ourselves in Sligo.
The 94th minute equaliser in that very game.
One nil away to Drogheda last season.
Theiving Monaghan in the 91st minute in the pi$$ing rain infront of 40 people.
Gatecrashing the most Unionist wedding reception you've ever seen to watch England crash out on penalties on our way to Ballybofey.
Taking a wrong turn out of Tolka Park last season and roaming around Dublin for two hours looking for the car.
Finally scoring in Mels after 81 minutes of playing Athlone off the park
Trying, and failing miserably, to fit a giant advertisment into a Peugot 206 on the way home from Cobh.
Loads more, the odd one is even football related :o
Jesus dont know how I left that one out......I knew the cold that day had done some damage to my memory!!!Quote:

Beating Bohs in the cup final at a "neutral" Dalymount Park.
Des Kennedy scoring in the Bernabeu.
A late Dave Kirby (ex Waterford) winner in a cup replay in Waterford in 1977 when they absolutely murdered us.
coming from 2 down to beat Harps 3-2 in Ballybofey in 1980
1980 again Leading Waterford 3-1 in the 2nd half to be pegged back to 3-3. Tony morris scoring a superb late winner only for the referee to pull it back for a free in to Limerick. Eoin Hand sticking the free in the top corner.
Beatign Cork city 1-0 in 1993 at Turners Cross to clinch a top 6 spot in the last game before the split.
Beating Cork City 2-1 at turners Cross in 1988 when we looked set to go down.
Winning the league cup in Derry on penalties.
Beating Drogheda away in a cup repaly last year.
A few late winners in monaghan
Paul hogan scoring a late winner at St Mels at Christmas time circa 1990. we were muck and stole it 1-0.
Putting 5 past Rovers at Baldonnel in the league cup.
Colm McGonigle scoring a 93rd minute winner at kilcohan after we led 1-0 should have been 6 and gave away a late equaliser.
A very young Tommy Gaynor sending Mick Smyth sprawling the wrong way before calmly rolling the ball into the corner to win a 1982 cup semi final replay.
Wnning the league cup in Sligo in 1975. (I missed the 4-1 cup win in 1977 )
Beating Galway 5-1 at Terryland.
Sending a reserve team to kilcohan to beat a full Waterford side 2-0 in a shield game. 2 days later we made 11 changes, they made 1 and we had a lucky 1-0 win in the league at the Markets Field.
Beating Rovers 2-1 at Milltown in 1979 the only time I saw Limerick win there in quite a few visits (we did win 4-0 in the mid 70's but I wasn't there).
Joe O'Mahony's last gasp penalty to beat Dundalk at Oriel Park about a minute after saying this will be a great point. Tony Morris's late winner in the cup 6 months before
I wasn't there. We went down to Bishopstown but the game was rained off. Couldn't make Turners Cross, which was a Wednesday, I think.Quote:

Was already in cork when the sunday game was called off too. I lived in Galway at the time too.Quote:

Thats what I meant. They were all over us, from the extended highlights I saw. They couldn't have missed all those chances.Quote:

I guess it probably wasn't rigged, but its a good story.
Allow me to add a few:Quote:

The toilets in Terryland. Landmark stuff.
Beating Kilkenny 4-1 in their place on our way to the playoffs in front of another 40 odd crowd in the greatest weather in the history of the nation.
The league cup final in Derry. Magic. The female Derry fan who roundly abused us for our team's 'negative tactics', while very much an exception to the warm welcome afforded us, was the cherry on the proverbial cake.
Trying to uh... appropriate a South Korean flag in some town on the way home from Athlone only for Jebus to abandon me and leave me dangling about 10-12 feet above the ground.
Gael353's shameful chastisement of your man Hennessy, the goalkeeper, after a game. An U-21s game at that. In the middle of Tralee. :o
My very first away game against Glebe North. John Whyte exacting retribution on their left-full who had bullied Brian Donnellan for 45 minutes was like something out of a comic book (this was before Donnellan's subsequent metamorphosis into a truculent scrapper in his own right).
And as small as it might seem, the goal when we beat Douglas Hall down in Turner's X this season in our cup replay. A small taste of heaven and I lost it and went mental, running about with no discernable purpose in a manner I've not done in years.
Good times...
Were you in Madrid for that one?Quote:
