Iād settle for Taigs declaring for the Republic first.
Isnāt 12 groups of 5 or 4? We could get a lucky group.
Queenās sole redeeming quality as a musical act was to provide chillingly fitting, haunting backing music for BBC darts and snooker montages in the 1992-93 period.
This was the last unified World Championship, where the split burst out into the open.
BBC Euro 2016
David Bowie - Heroes
BBC World Cup 2002
Prefab Sprout - A Life Of Surprises
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Take Me Home
Itād need to be very lucky. We must be verging on 4th seeds now.
I hope we do though. Gonna go to Monterrey for a few games anyway hopefully.

The reason the One Moment In Time montage works on such a devastating level is that it taps into a particular sense of Irishness, of us being a shambolic yet endearing underdog whose sportspeople could occasionally rise to the occasion and give little oulā Ireland moments of innocent joy. Itās the visual elements and the facial expressions that give its punch. Nearly all the clips used work on this level. But also it wouldnāt work if Ireland wasnāt such a small country. They were running a bit thin on clips there as it was. World Indoor Athletics and the Dunhill Cup.

Dunhill cup was big news in Ireland back then, probably had a bigger profile than the Ryder cup at the time
I donāt recall the 1988 one being on telly, or I donāt recall seeing it at any rate. The 1990 one was live on Eurosport alright.
One Moment in Time, up there with To Win Just Once in the undergod realm.
They were definitely on terrestrial of some description. Ronan Rafferty was kind of a big deal
Ronan Rafferty certainly thought so, or so Iām told.
Someone attacks Killian M for the fact there are no women in that montage in the comments and while it might not be his fault it shows how much changed in the 30 odd years since.
I remember watching it live. The green geansaĆās on the Irish lads. Playing in an auld links course. Had that āmoment in timeā montage recorded on vhs at the time.
It was held in St Andrews every year Iām pretty sure
Yep, thatās probably right.
So for some āauld links courseā replace it with the home of the sport.
Have you seen our entry for the Eurovision this year? Itās a knocked out in the semi-finals song if ever I saw one.
Although having said that we produced a brilliant song in 2015 (Molly Sterling) and still didnāt qualify. I reckon we have more of a chance of reaching the 2026 World Cup.
