Few of the lads that went to Euro 16 with me had to manage their time with work and kids and decided to miss the third group game and come back for the last 16 game if we qualified. Said it was weird as fcuk celebrating when Brady's goal went in, pub going mental, them jumping around delighted they'd be going back but also thinking what the f**k have we missed! The fact that we all thought the win was gone after Wes' miss added a lot to it tbf. Special moment. 


D69,
Not the Lille game but Rome back in 1990

Looking back and especially now in lockdown wish I went to more.

Best has to be the 1-1 against the Germans in the World Cup.

By a mile. Greatest sporting moment I've been at. Houghton and Brady v Italy probably next in terms of Ireland away. 

I’m surprised this wasn’t your top.
I’ve watched that match back more than any other Ireland match.

My favourite away game was when we beat Wales 1-0 in Cardiff to advance to the play-off against the Danes. Tops Brady against Italy in the Euros. The noise in our end that night was on another level. If I had any footage Id make a documentary called something like, One night in Wales

I was in the end behind the goal for both. With Razor's it was so early that it was celebrate then the realisation that we had the guts of 80 minutes to hold out, although we ended up doing that comfortably and I ended up disappointed we didn't get a second. Sheridan really should have scored. As it transpired we'd have topped the group if he had and stayed in New York for a tie against Bulgaria rather than back to bloody Orlando and Holland. But anyway, the celebration for the goal definitely had an element of there's a long way to go. Plus it was ah early kick off and first game of the tournament for us as well. 

With Robbie, it was stoppage time and we were looking at being on one point from our first two games which would have had us in trouble. It would have meant a draw between Germany and Cameron in the final game would have put both through and taken it out of our hands. We'd played so well but looked like we'd not get what we deserved. So the mixture of joy, relief and then elation was something else. Night time game under lights added something as well as did the whole experience with the locals compared to the yanks who just didn't embrace the tournament or even realise it was on in a lot of cases. Germany goal well ahead for me. Even the celebration for Bradys goal were more full on than for Razor's because of the circumstances. Late goal, do or die, night time game etc. That said, 94 was a far more impressive win against their top string and better side in general.

Nothing in football comes close to last minute winners and equalisers. You have given up all hope, accepted the lads you have been roaring at for 90 minutes gave it their all and are fully resigned to a few beers to take the edge off when, out of what feels like nowhere, it happens. Even as a neutral they are special.
Keane against Germany was one of the finest examples of it. The whole thing seemed to happen in slow motion. I remember watching it in a small pub at home and there was a split second before the realisation kicked in and all hell breaking loose. I can only imagine what it was like in the stadium.

That was great alright. 3rd minute of injury time and home fans whistling for full time. Went bananas that night. 
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Great night in reardens afterwards. Pity we didn't have bigger numbers just the hardcore usual suspects.

Remember walking down canal Street after the game and there was queues of Irish fans at some of the establishments along the street literally stirring each others porridge.

We stayed till the Monday so did the dog on it all day Sunday again. Drinking on a terrace table outside some boozer in the red light when this bloke comes up and says his mate had just snuck off into one of the windows over the road and they'd spotted him and knew which one. Got the whole crowd to wait for him to come out and give a huge roar and round of applause when he tried to sneak back out. Lad was scarlet, was absolutely comical! Still dunno if that was the only clap he got that afternoon...
