This is the best screenshot I can do of the goal, Hunt's leg is nowhere near to the ball, Keane is making clean contact

You can download the goal in slow motion here: http://tetsujin1979.googlepages.com/...aneVSItaly.mpg
It's only a few second long, I'd recommend using the slow motion option in VLC to view it
Bloody tallaghfornians always trying to nick everything, seriously though its poor form to rob it in public the way he did. I think it was more Hunts' goal anyway .Quote:

However Robbie's run to the sideline claiming the goal was very convincing and if you watch Hunt's immediate reaction it's to chase Keane to congratulate him. If I were Hunt and I was sure it was mine I'd have run in my own direction.
Its definitely Keane's goal. I watched it a few times before now and thought it was Keane's and this picture confirms it.Quote:

Some of the comments about Noel in this thread as a disgrace by the way. Allright if directed at an opposition player, but very nasty stuff when aimed at one of our own.
actually, who did set it up?Quote:

The ball was kicked back to Given after the restart following Cannavarro's mystery collapse. Dunno why he was down, probably tackled by a stiff breeze
Jesus, I hope Noel Hunt is not going the same way as his brother....ie turning into a public pain in the holeQuote:

My opinion is that Noel made contact with the ball, pushing it forward into the path of Robbie who got a better shot away. However, it happened so quickly that Noel probably thought that his initial contact was what sent the ball into the net.
Ah yeah, I remember that now.Quote:

Dunphy called Trap a drunken gambler for making the substitutions he did, implying that he was just changing things for the sake of it and hoping for the best.Quote:
