:rolleyes: I have heard it all now. Who gives a fiddler's flam what that bull headed gombeen thinks. "ANdy Gray's rule of direction". He's an ex-footballer like thousands of others who makes a living attacking referee's on overhyped Sky TV. No more, no less. He makes no rules for anything.Quote:

Take Antrim out of the equation i couldn't give a monkey's what county they are from as long as they put the green shirt on their back and wear it with pride abnd play with passion. North Men south men commrades all etc etc....Quote:

that's what I thought - when you look at it side-on in real-time it is rightly rifled in; if Hunt got a touch then it was a toe-poke and wouldn't have had the power.Quote:

Case closed.
ps dont think Hunt has done himself any favours but i suppose it was worth a try if he thought otherwise
:)I have just seen it again on Tv ( i also had thought at first that is was Hunt's goal ) and it's Definitely Robbies goal and the Fai have also confirmed that.
No doubt at all based on the RTE pictures - clearly Robbie's goal and well deserved for his performance.
It may not have come through as much on TV but sitting in the stand in Bari I thought Robbie played a hugely important role throughout the game when he was moved behind the front two. The goal was fully deserved and thankfully puts an end to the "he never scores against good teams" lie.
Duggie, Razors Left Peg and Rogermilla are all quoted in the Star (Pg 8 I think, only saw it in the barbers) regarding this debate over who scored:ball:
I don't think Robbie would have celebrated the way he did if it wasn't his, but it could be any one of Hunt, Keano and the Italian back. All 3 have claims.
That statement is vaguely reminiscent of how those Upper Class scandals were handled in 18th Century England!!Quote:

Not any more - based on the latest footage there is only one claim. Fair play to Robbie!Quote:

Hunt tipped it but robbie blasted it in to the back of the net. It may be on the 6 news this evening on RTE.
good must watch out for it but i knew it robbies goal all along from his reaction after. robbie is a true irish legend.Quote:

yeah, no doubt at all.
I love the dramatics though: "controversy has erupted".
Anyawy, fair play to those above who said that Keane's swing was what put the pace on the ball. It's unlikely Hunt could ever have hit it that hard with his studs.
Well the positive side from this is that i have had people who normally wouldnt have much interest in football etc asking who do i think scored it, what they thought etc etc.................no such thing as bad publicity!!!

saw this on eleven-a-side
I watched it loads of times jsut back in from Italy and its Keanes goal and then when I saw the news report there it confirms it even more. The ball displays all the characteristics of coming off Keanes foot and its his goal. Who says he does not score against the big teams. Get in there.
I don't want to be critical but I reckon if Hunt hit it it would have been in row Z.
Ah Monaghan fan would know more about that than most , boom boom
That video won't save at all for me from RTE's site - RealMedia is such utter toss
Anyway, this is the best screenshot I can get of it, clearly Robbie's touch
Attachment 1339
Everytime I see it live it looks like Hunts goal, the timing is all wrong for Robbie, he gets there too late.You can't tell much from stills as you have no idea of depth - the ball may look to be on Robbies toe when in reality it is a yard ahead of it.
Verdict - Hunt's goal.
No way, by the laws of physics is it is impossible for it to be hunts goal. There is no doubt that it is Keanes goal. Fair play Hunt played well when he came on and he will get his first goal soon.
I complained about his lack of goals against the big teams!! Looking forward to his next one in 2016. i.e. 7 years, since he last did it against Spain in 2002.Quote:

I sat there as i had through the rest of the match, I'm a realist and knew that it was a draw, against an extremely poor Italian side with 10 men.Quote:

What am i wrong about?
That trap never saw Hunt play for Reading or never went to see Reading play.
So your mood didn't change at all between 86 minutes and 50 seconds and 87 minutes?Quote:

If you showed no emotion whatsoever it suggests to me that you're not a fan at all and that you're purely a wind up merchant determined to irritate those who contribute positively to a good fans forum. Hats off, you do a pretty good job.
I was furious with the Irish performance against San Marino, but as a fan I was a damned sight happier when Stephen Ireland scored than a minute earlier.
Out of interest, how did you feel when Keane equalised in Ibaraki?
He felt Keane should have done better.Quote:
