Great Irish Sporting Moments.

[EIFII]

Look up Brain of Britain to a clip of England v Ireland, Croke Park, 2007.
Pathetic

Is Croke Park in England now? Not even I would go that far

Don't worry I'm still here, just back from making a cuppa, if it's all the same to you?

No doubt you'll call me a pedant again, but conventions are there for a reason

You are a sad, little, individual.
I am sorry for you.
Best to log out.
A good night's sleep will do you good.
Good boy.

You'll be on to MMA next?

But what about a proper sport like Horse racing? Another Irish victory again at Cheltenham yesterday...

Programme on rte 2 on thursday night at 9.30 to determine the best irish sporting event. Anybody can vote on it. I would think that italia 90, england ireland in croke park, katie taylors olympic gold would be up there as the best moments. Also the grand slam in 09.

One of my greatest sporting memories and I have many was Ray Houghtons goal and Ireland beating England 1-0 Stuggart 1988..

Up to then we had never been to a major tournament and I will always remember where I was and the pride I felt after that game..

I actually emigrated to England the following Tuesday and watched the final 2 games in group over there.. June 88

Just Thinking of great sporting moments that come straight to my mind and can remember where I was when I watched them !! Here are a few...
1 As above Ireland v England Euro 88
2 Mc Guigan V Pedroza WBA Featherweight 1985
3 Michael Carruth winning Olympic Gold welterweight 1992
4 Offaly beating Kerry All Ireland Football Final Seamus Darby goal 1982
5 Michael Kiernans drop goal to win Ireland triple crown v England`1985

These are just some of the ones that came to mind going back a few years and of course we all remember
Italia 90 ,USA 94 , Ireland V England croke park , Katie Taylor , Saipan Keane v Mc Carthy .. Just so many to mention.

Other great Irish sporting achievements since 1962 would be John Treacy`s back to back World Cross Country titles in the late 1970s and his Olympic silver medal in 1984, Stephen Roche`s three titles in 1987, Padraig Harrington`s three golf major wins in 13 months, and Michelle Smith`s four Olympic medals in 1996. The list could go on and on.
