Not many you've missed. Can't remember the Finnish game. What happened there ?
Was Finland the away friendly after the WC in 2002?Originally Posted by OwlsFan
Do you believe in Miracles?
Boring 0 0 Draw but i think I might be confused with Norway, I remember it being just before a tournament, I think the drink has killed too many brain cells.
Definitely went to Finland on the way to estonia
Anyone else help my fading memory

You were definitely on the beer that day or else were watching a different game. Game was played in August 2002, Ireland won 3-0, goals by Robbie Keane, Colin Healy and Graham Barrett!
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
Ah yes wasnt Don Givens in charge for that, was not at that game so it must have been Norway, Charlton era

Albania ... Some wonderfull times and some near misses too.
were you not in Georgia too since you made the Albania game?
No McCarthy was still in charge, this game was the first time he ever started with a team of players all drawn from Premiership clubs. Don Givens game in the spotlighlight was against Greece in November 2002 (now that was a boring 0-0 draw!). The Greece game was the first after our home defeat to Switzerland after which McCarthy resigned and the last game we played before Kerr took over in February 2003.
Stay off the hooch!
PS: I think the last time we played Norway away was in Oslo, a 0-0 draw, in June 1988, about a fortnight before that glorious day in Stuttgart, you do remember us beating England 1-0?

Didnt Crowe start in that game??
Yes he did. Also playing that night were Stephen McPhail and Richard Dunne.
Crowe could have scored a couple that night. He had one disallowed after the Doc was pulled up for a push. On a pitch that must have been one of the worst Ireland ever played on, Shay Given nearly carved a back pass from O'Shea into his own goal but made up for it with soem great saves in the second half.
The strange thing about the game was the Greek crowd had no interest in the game as they were playing a big basketball match at the same time and the locals were more interested in that. It was only two or three euro to get into the game (the FAI didnt sell any tickets for this game). Less than two years later, Greece were European champions - funnly ol' game!

Just Portugal (95), Switzerland (03) and France (04) for me...Missed Malta in 1999 (? - the 3-2 win - is it that long ago?!) because of exams - was going to skip them and fly out, but I thought that might be taking it a bit too far! Still failed, of course!
Still, getting into the away games habit now - will be crossing off the Faroes in June...confidently expect to be at a major finals any decade now!

Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Sounds a bit big headed I know, but for me it's easier to list the countries (within Europe) I haven't seen Ireland play in, being a bit of an old c*nt.
Greece, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, San Marino, Slovenia, Bosnia, none of the new former Soviet republics (Baltic States excepted) although saw Ireland in the old Soviet Union. Faroes I'm going to in June and Andorra saw against in Barcelona.

Thats why I did it dude.
What disco did yerself and everyone end up in on tuesday, I noticed DG from Lemington Spa at the airport wednesday morning bright and early so I took it that he wasn't out on the tear with you all, after the Portugal blitz I don't blame him.
PS I forgot to add Barcalonia when we played Andorra.
