After watch all this I am going to expect Ireland to win every Game and with Great Goals ! !
Group G
1. Liam Brady v Brazil, 1987
2. Tony Grealish v Switzerland, 1985
3. Ray Houghton A v Belgium, 1997
4. Paul McGrath v Luxembourg, 1987
5. Gary Kelly A v Cyprus, 2001
6. Roy Keane H v Portugal, 2001
The excellent throw in from Kelly to Roy Keane landed on a sixpence, Roy reacted well but imo it was mainly the deflection off the defender that wrong footed the goalie.
Roy like Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven) got lucky in the order.
Group G
1st. McGrath
2. Brady
3. Kelly
4. Houghton
5. Keane
6. Grealish
1. Hoolahan
2. Ward
3. Staunton
4. Maguire
5. Keane
6. Wilson (deflection changed it for me)
Hoolahan and Stan - despite the latter not having a single first preference vote - pulling ahead in Group F.
Still a couple of hours left to vote before Group H opens up.
Doyle, O'Shea, Whelan, Quinn, Miller, BradyQuote:

Peep-peep-peeeeep on Group F so. Wes takes the top spot (43 points), with Stan also joining him in the last 32 (35 points). Keane v the Germans was in third on 27, ahead of Maguire (25), Wilson (22) and Ward (16). Tight group though - every goal got a top-two nomination.
Group H is the last of the six-goal groups. We have -
1) Kevin Doyle H v Andorra, 2010
2) Robbie Keane H v Denmark, 2002
3) Gary Waddock H v Holland, 1983
4) Roy Keane H v Hungary, 1993
5) Alan McLoughlin A v Northern Ireland, 1993
6) James McClean H v Uruguay, 2017
As always, give me a sec on videos. And you can still vote in Group G. You don't have to have voted in earlier groups to join in now.
Hope people are getting something out of it btw! Some random goals in this that I'd completely forgotten about anyway.
1) Kevin Doyle H v Andorra, 2010
A proper out-of-the-blue after a bit of scrappy play 30 yards out. Does it matter that it was against Andorra? Time is 1:10; time-stamped link is here.

2) Robbie Keane H v Denmark, 2002
A not-entirely-dissimilar strike to the one above actually - and at the exact same stage of the video too. Maybe a friendly against Denmark is worth more than a qualifier against Andorra? Time is 1:10; time-stamped link is here.

3) Gary Waddock H v Holland, 1983
That is actually Dalymount Park, as most of us have never seen it before.

4) Roy Keane H v Hungary, 1993
Our quickest ever goal I think (11 seconds) - albeit that it didn't count because, as the OPEL on the jersey will tell you, it was a testimonial.

Group G
1. McGrath
2. Brady
3. Grealish
4. Keane
5. Kelly
6. Houghton
5) Alan McLoughlin A v Northern Ireland, 1993
Another iconic goal that needs little by way of introduction! Time is 1:30; time-stamped link is here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp9Bt18Rvv4&t=1m30s
6) James McClean H v Uruguay, 2017
McClean in the form of his life - one of his six international goals in 2016/17. Time is 2:38; time-stamped link is here.

Was that Roy's first goal for us even if it didn't count?
I believe it was. I believe it was also Phil Babb's debut for us, even if it didnt count :) . Was at that game and remember looking around at a few puzzled faces when his name was read out by the announcer.Quote:

Apart from cometh the hour cometh the man, McLoughlin did look up, picked his spot and stroked the ball purposefully in the one direction through a crowded box.
So Paul McGrath takes Group G, but we have a tie for second place between Brady and Houghton. I'll use my Chairman vote - much an all as the Houghton goal is a real acrobatic header in a vital play-off, I think Brady's goal stands out for beating Brazil at their own game, so I'll put Brady through as runner-up.
Group H is still open, and I'll throw up Group I now -
1) Matt Holland A v Estonia, 2001
2) Jason McAteer H v Holland, 2001
3) Gary Waddock H v Italy, 1985
4) Ian Harte A v Liechtenstein, 1996
5) Tony Cascarino H v USA, 1992
