I would say Hunt got the first touch and Robbie the second and hence the reason both claim it.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
ya thats prob what happened. if robbie says he got a touch then its his goal, end of.

Got back last night so have only seen a brief replay on Italain TV at 6.15 yesterday morning (8.15 flight out of Bari, what a nightmare!) but how you describe it is how it looked in the ground, the manner and angle Hunt came onto the ball wouldn't seem to me to have had the required power or angle to put the ball where it went.
Robbie's goal for me and I do think it's a little undignified scrapping over it much as I can understand Hunt wanting to claim it to a small degree.
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....I'd rather our first choice striker got the confidence tbh and that goal will lift a huge weight off Keane's shoulders with people commenting on his goal drought against the top teams.
and btw, unlike every other county in Ireland, most Dublin people don't tend to care whether our players are from Dublin, Cork or Donegal.
In fairness to Hunt, I think his claim is as much tongue in cheek as anything. He probably believes he has a claim on the goal but to be critising the lads over a random light hearted statement he made on beat fm is a bit harsh.
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.
I could be wrong though.
would have hoped it was Hunts goal myself being from waterford
but RTE news at one have just shown a replay and it proves beyond doubt that Hunts touch was minimal and that Keane indeed did score it.
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 a head only Snow White would love
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
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!!
Quite a to-do, eh Lord Osarusan!!!
Quoting years at random since 1975
Not any more - based on the latest footage there is only one claim. Fair play to Robbie!

I think we should have a Poll here.
I don't know any, do you?
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

It was shown in slow motion on the 13.00 news and it is definetly Robbies goal no question.
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.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Gol a Di Rrrobbieee Keane a! Doesn't even look like Hunt got a touch.
