Great programme but why have Mario Rosencock ruin it with crap comic quips.
The Saipan story really brought back all those what if's..has Irish soccer ever recovered from it???

Yes it was really good but I suppose Mario was only working to a script and it was clearly trying to copy Channel 4's Top 100 whatevers, with smart Jimmy Carr comments. The Milltown 87 slot really had my blood boiling again listening to Louis Kilcoyne's cr*p (and my mug appeared at one of the rallies so that was funny!), and the 95 riot in Lansdowne really got the blood going through the bloody roof. Combat 18 cnuts. And as you say LY, bloody Saipan............oh Jaysus, what a bombshell it all was and as you say LY, still is. I still don't go for the "we coulda won it" sh*te though..........

Exactly what I thought a copy of the 100 greatest films/tv etc etc.. moments they're light hearted and it works but not for this show. You got into each of the 20 moments and then it was a little joke..anyway we wouldn't have won the world cup..but we could have been contenders

GREAT programme, Never seen a pub so quiet!
It was so good an argument started about the usual KEANE V the rest.
To which my response was something like this....\
Keane stood up to the sh*t that is the FAI.
This is the SAME fai that one of the 10 board members I talked to today
said this....and i quote."Kevin Moran is one of my choices becasue he has experience playing in Croke Park, and understands the pressures involved playing in Croke Park"
I kid you not.
O ye, he also said that Moran is finanially sensibe and that's a great asset!!
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST

Ger From the words used I know who you were talking with  You're right, it is this level of "administrator" we are up against, but then again if they were independent thinking Oscar Wilde wouldn't have them there.

One would believe anything that emanates from Merrion Sq. I love that old story where one blazer wouldn't vote for Paddy Mulligan to become Irish Manager cos Mulligan threw a bun at him on an away trip some years previous!!
