Noel Hunt's Goal

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

It's only a few second long, I'd recommend using the slow motion option in VLC to view it

Bloddy pikey's always trying to nick everything, seriously though its poor form to handle it public the way he did. I think it was more Keanes' goal anyway although it is debatable.

I don't need some bum crying and whinging that our captain 'stole' his goal. Go away.

Harsh, I'd claim it too if I were him but I'm sure he's not moaning about it.

[Stuttgart88]

Impossible to tell. For a while I was convincede it was Hunt's.

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.

I'd still say that Hunt did make some contact with the ball beforehand, but I think Keane definitely got the final touch. I'm not certain who got the decisive touch that forced it in though, but I'd say that it was more than likely Keane.

Well, in interviews he did say that he was about to start to but that Robbie had already made off and everyone was following him. He also said that after joining Robbie he was shouting to him that it was his goal. Whatever, I still think it was Robbie's though.

Noel has been quoted as claiming it. We await to hear what Robbie says - until then, for me, its still an open question.

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.

And who set it up , but sure the guy is a drunk gambler

actually, who did set it up?

Folan headed it on. I think it was initially a long ball from Given (possibly a free kick).

a restart after the Italians won an uncontested drop ball due to one of them being injured while we had possession.

They gave the ball to Shay, which is why Shay's kick was about 10 yards outside his box.

[tetsujin1979]

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 hole

thanks guys

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.

Think i may have been a bit harsh on Noel there...just read Emmet Malone's article and he said hewasn't that bothered. In fairness if he thinks its his stike he's entitled to claim it. Was a bit worried when I heard he was on Waterford radio moaning though(if thats true?)

[Den Perry]

by the way, who is the alleged drunk gambler? Folan?

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.
