Maybe best goal scored against us- couple of contenders stick out

Best goal scored against us might have had its own thread at one stage? Or something similar.

Best performances would be awkward with the different age groups, unless we kept it to last 10/20 years or whatever.

There was a thread about best goal, but I think it was aimed at complete out of the blue wonder strikes. It could work here.

Best performance mightn't be so clean because I can show a picture of the kit or a video of the goal, but the whole match is something different people would remember differently - just look at how people saw the goalkeeping performances in the past week!

Then something random and non-Irish - like best international kit - might be a bit of craic too, albeit harder to source nominations.

I was thinking best goalkeeper kit would be the obvious next stop for this; lots of interesting variations, though keepers' kits have gotten very bland in the past few years.

Yes I think best GK kit would be good.

Mark Kennedy v Yugoslavia.

We had that one Bonnie - I think Mark got knocked out in the last 16...

**pineapple stu** · 02/04/2021, 3:18 PM

Looks like you missed it!

Knocked out by McAteer's goal away to the Dutch in the last 16. And was runner-up in its group behind Houghton against Italy in 94.

And how wrong that was.

Going back over old ground here but the problem with Kennedy's goal was the replay angle behind the goal. It looked for all the world a top corner screamer on first viewing but actually it went in very centrally and should have been saved really.

Hit too hard to be saved. It was a rocket.
Best Irish goal I�ve ever seen I think.

Even better than Whelan V Russians or Robbie away to Holland in friendly under Kerr

Agree. I was at that game, parallel to where he shot from and it absolutely flew in. Robbie�s goal was a lovely finish in that game too actually.

Stupid fake Monday mornings! Almost forgot about the first semi-final...

Here we go so. Four days to decide it all. First up - Italia 90 v the 94 qualifying kit. Which means ye now know what tomorrow's semi is too

**Kingdom** · 05/04/2021, 10:25 AM

Italia 90

**DeLorean** · 05/04/2021, 10:37 AM

Italia '90.

Agreee with Eirambler on Kennedy's goal, if the keeper tips that over it's not even considered a particularly good save imo. But then again it was knocked out to a 'team goal' where a tackle from the opposition was the assist, and a jammy shinner won the whole thing
