I like the way you went local on that one. |
||||
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Playing the Dutch has broken my heart but also given me the happiest times of my life....
Heartbreak Euro '88: Paul McGrath's header against the post and Wim Kieft's spinning header. Joy WC 1990: Niall Quinn's equaliser when Van Breukelen made a mess. Anfield The Kop 1995: Probably the best Ireland atmosphere I've witnessed beaten 2-0 by Holland but some night Jackie Charlton waved us goodbye. Lansdowne 2001 v Holland: Was in the West Stand when McAteer scored and thought it was going to collapse. |

Also Oct 1980 1 0 down with about 10 mins to.go.in Lansdowne and coming back to.win 2 1 against a Dutch team that had played in the last two world cup finals. Also the 1 0 win when Robbie scored in a friendly around 2003/4 in Amsterdam |

When you think of it for a small football nation of 4 million or so we have a lot of really good memories on the intrnational stage...not just run of the mill stuff but legendary wins and performances.
'88 - Razor, Stuttgart beating England '90 - Italia'90 '94 - Giants Stadium '01 - The dutch game '02 - Robbie v Kahn...going so close against Spain '15 - Beating Germany '16 - Brady in Lille I am grateful that I was there for 50% of these in the flesh while engrossed to the TV in a pub or with friends and family for the other 50% Picking one I would have to say beating England in '88 as the best.

I was at that game. I went by myself as a teenager. I didnt realise we lost until the next day, and even told a few people on the way home that we drew 2-2. I went for a piss and the Dutch scored and I never even knew it

It's a toss up between 3 for me.
1. When they played the national anthem in poznan against Croatia at Euro 2012, hairs on the back of my neck never stood up like that before nor since. 2. Osheas equaliser in gelsenkirchen. 3. Longs goal against Germany in the aviva. Edited by greenlad - 05 Oct 2016 at 5:05pm |
