Frank o’mara Deserved a go round there considering the shitness of this list,
Canavan is a joke in particular, lost a match and fucked away a chance to equalize in the last minute, very good performance but a moment of the decade

Think RTE was set up in 1962? Sport began with RTE.
far too much gaa shite in that
Token inclusion of Peter Canavan’s taxi impression in 1995 but Ulster football’s greatest moments of the decade have been shamefully omitted.
Down’s victory over Meath in one of the greatest All-Ireland finals of all time in 1991.
Donegal’s historic breakthrough in 1992.
Derry’s same in 1993.
Down beating Derry at Celtic Park in 1994 in one of the greatest games of all time.
The programme has continued where it left off last week in its partitionist stance.

Bit of a joke if Ken Doherty makes it and Dennis Taylor was omitted. Pure partitionist mentality. Taylor gripped the whole of Britain and Ireland til the wee hours

In a penalty shoot-out, you generally expect that there’s a higher than even chance that a player, particularly if they aren’t an experienced penalty taker, will go to a certain corner based on what foot they kick with.
Inexperienced penalty takers will more often than not go for power, and it’s easier to get power and direction if you aim left if you’re a right footed kicker, and vice versa for a left footed kicker.
What was interesting about Eire’s penalties against Romania in 1990 is that none of the five players went for the corner you’d expect them to go to based on that premise.
The right footed Houghton and O’Leary placed the ball to the right.
The left footed Townsend placed it to the left.
The left footed Cascarino stubbed it into the ground with power to the left centre
The left footed Sheedy went for power high to the left centre.
The Romanian goalkeeper hadn’t a chance with four of them and made a total balls of saving Cascarino’s.
