Moran didn't get a red card exactly? Is it thus Rob Styles sending off Reyes?

Or if you're counting that as Wales then Marriner sending off Zabaleta?

Lovely Bloke

which was in Wales, so it was yesterday's game

haha, the use of cards was suspended between 81-87 in England for some reason

Correct

At the time of Morans sending off the FA had stopped using red and yellow cards. Think it went on for about 3 years before they went back to them.

Therefore Moran never saw a red card :P

EDIT: The answer is Reyes. Although the game was in Cardiff, it was the English FA Cup Final.

Last irishman to score in Lansdowne and 1st irish man to score in Aviva?

same dude.

Bit of a dud this question... Dave Mulcahy scored in both games, but that's as close as it gets. He scored the 1st of 7 in the 06 Cup Final, Peter Hutton scored the last one or Stephen Brennan whose OG was the deciding goal in extra-time.

Technically Jonny Evans scored before him in the LOI XI vs Man U match (although he might take umbrage with being referred to as an Irishman, he could have a passport in the morning if he asked for one).

I remember West Ham beating them, not sure if it was at OT

Possibly Man City also ?

GavRedKing

I think Liverpool have, was it a Danny Murphy last minute free kick?

gav86

Pompy did if i'm right on the way to winning the cup, Coventry also rings a bell, maybe in 06/07?

Yep - remember di Canio's goal with Barthez with his hand in the air. 2001 or 2002? The mad frenchman never got the credit I thought he deserved for that incident - a lesser player than di Canio would have looked towards the linesman, giving the keeper a chance to strike.

Coventry put United out in Fergusons first season in the FA Cup.

Southampton and Arsenal

The Crazy Gang beat United in 88 too if I recall correctly. Not sure if it was at OT though

No the Crazy Gang is wrong

So we have

Arsenal
Pompy
Coventry
Southampton (on pens)
West Ham

Having forgot about Southampton that adds an extra team to the list two more teams needed now lads

Well Cobh V Derry also so.

No one managed to get the third answer so I might as well give it.

It was a match between a Team form Cork and Belfast.

Alton Utd were from the Falls League which at the time was affiliated to the FAI and not the IFA. They actually won the Cup that year in a big shock.
