Greatest Comebacks

[gspain01]

Limerick scored twice in injury time to beat Shels at Tolka 2-1 in 2011.

I recall a Billy Daly last gasp equaliser in 1983/84 when playing with 9 men and trailing 1-0 v Bohs at Dalymount.

In our 1980 league winning season we trailed 2-0 in Ballybofey after 16 minutes and still after 68 minutes. We won 3-2. It was an absolutely crucial victory as Waterford beat Dundalk the same day.
We were also mistakenly told Dundalk were winning. Furthermore a significant portion of the travelling support went to the pub at half time and refused to believe we won.

Bohs came from 2 down to beat us 3-2 in Rathbane I think can't recall the year for sure. John Mannion scored a late 30 yard deserved equaliser for 9 man Shamrock Rovers in Rathbane circa 1990. Stevie Johnson grabbed an injury time winner for us. We were awful that day but how we celebrated.

We had a similar game against them too, 3-0 up after 13 minutes, goals scored on 11,12 and 13 minutes for Town only for Meath GAA keeper Brendan Murphy to make 3 howlers and leave us hanging on for our life at 3-3. Madness.

I think that's a seperate thread altoghether! we were 15 behind Athlone at one stage in 2000-2001 but won the division and Athlone missed out on promotion altogether.

For the record we were 8 points behind you a couple of weeks back! Think we made up 10 points last season, but it wasn't enough in the end.

In fairness they did claw 15 points off of Pats a few years back

Talk about late results on aertel!

How fitting on the week this thread was started we get an incredible come back from Sevilla last night inside of the 90 minutes

We're not including minor cup competition here

While we're spiralling off topic here this one is probably worth a mention. The biggest comeback in the English leagues, 10 man Charlton 5-1 down with 27 minutes to go, won 7-6!

I've a few more involving Drogheda.

Won 4-3 away to Waterford in 1974 after being 2-0 and 3-2 down and surviving 4 goal line clearances.

In the 2002/03 relegation playoff final, they lost 2-0 away to Galway in the first leg and it was 0-0 in the second leg with a half hour left. Won 3-0 after extra time.

And in 1988 Drogheda were 4-1 down to Finn Harps at half-time but ended up losing 5-4.
