If you could relive a full 90-minute game again, what would it be?

Omackeral

Bohs 4-0 Shamrock Rovers in July 2012.

Our band of kids absolutely humbled a primadonna laden Rovers outfit fresh off their European antics. It was unbelievably surreal to experience live in the flesh. Really summed up to me what football is all about.

Honourable mention: Bohs vs Derry in the FAI cup final 2008 in the RDS, won on penos after a 2-2 cracker.

In fairness, it was a completely different team to the one that had gotten into Europe

No I went to the home leg but Belgrade itself was just a bit too hard to get too. Just watching it was incredible though

Yes. Much better than being attacked by the 'grobari'

Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea at the Camp Nou in the 2nd leg of the Champions League semi-final in 2012.

Chelsea 2-0 down after 40mins, John Terry gets a straight red and it looks like Chelsea are going to get hammered. But Ramires chips in the most amazing goal to get Chelsea the away goal (which in my opinion is the best finish ive ever seen considering the circumstances). That goal was actually the only chance Chelsea got for the whole game until Torres breakaway at the end, some balls to do what he did.

Chelsea hold on miraculously, with Messi even missing a penalty and Torres scores at the end to seal it after running one on one from the half-way line. (As much as we complain about Torres, that moment was worth all the anguish)

Wow. What a game.

Definitely the one id pick if I could relive one match again. Remember the Sky pundits saying it was the most unbelievable game of European football they had ever watched, think it was Redknapp, Neville and Souness who said it, id have to agree with them!

I take it you skip the trip to Dalymount too? :pac:

8-10

This is another game I'd watch again for sure, Inter v Roma in the league. Not a cup final or anything, just a cracking game of football. Only watched it as there was nothing else on but it ended up being completely end to end attacking football. 0-0 at half time, 3-3 at the end! Recoba's goal for Inter was impressive but Montella's equaliser was a great finish. Both teams then hit the post at 3-3 trying to win it. Awesome game from probably the last season I watched Serie A (2002/03)

http://youtu.be/QxWOTlCYBQQ

Edit: great commentary in that YouTube clip too!

Lots of posts about games in the past 10-15 years. "And we were all shown to our seats by this nice steward and applauded every goal in that thrilling tie"!

Please tell me at least one Man Utd fan has referred to the 1984 comeback from 2-0 down v Maradona and Barcelona?

Or some other games from times when terraces buckled and groaned.

Here's one for Leeds fans, penned in cages in Hull, from Wilkinsons promotion season. Hull 3 Leeds 4.

I'd be happy with any of the following:

Brazil v Italy 1982 WC
France v West Germany 1982 WC - technically 120 minutes!
Brazil v France 1986 WC
Ireland v England 1988 EC
Liverpool 5 Forest 0 in 1988 - best team performance I've seen
Ireland v Italy 1994 WC - just to see McGraths performance again.
Liverpool 4 Newcastle 3 in 1996 - the first of the two 4-3s
Ireland 1 Holland 0 in 2001
Istanbul
Germany v Italy 2006 WC

One that stands out (of many) in my mind, the 1994 FA cup semi final between United and Oldham. United were 1 nil down until the last minute or two, when Mark Hughes scored to force a replay. United won the replay and went on to win the FA cup that year.

I was only a nipper but I remember being on the edge of my seat hoping for United to equalise, then it happened and we went bonkers.

North 1 Republic 1 1993 WCQ

They scored first, then we scored, Spain had to beat Denmark and they did. Atmosphere is the pub was white hot, watching the final few minutes of the Spain match was unbearable. Billy "f((king" Bingham winding up the crowd as well.

Never forgotten.

What are you talking about? If you're looking for passion, colour and atmosphere in the stands, English football has never been the place to go, that's never been it's selling point

Bohs thumping Glasgow rangers in 1984. I was
parked down the shed end. I'll never forget it, as a season ticket holder in Celtic park.....and a rovers fan:-)

liverpool 3-3 milan just for the fact that everyone other than united fans wanted us to win...it transcended sport....it was destiny...is was fate...it was magic...they won it with the worst team ever
and that's what your want from sport something to say **** it if you stick together and believe anthing is possible
but best game of all time was liverpool newcastle 4-3 which ultimately won united the league
That game represent all 11 players on both team just going for it. before negative tactics hit the premier league ala mourinho and beneitez

Surprised no one has mentioned Richie Dunne Vs Russia

From ones I've seen in the flesh, the 2006 FAI Cup final was insanely entertaining. Absolutely incredible to watch. After that, I remember Wanderers giving Pats a 4-1 pasting on the final day of the 2000/01 season and it still sticks out in my mind as easily the best Wanderers performance I've ever seen.

From watching on the telly, the 2005, 2011 and 2012 CL finals were all very entertaining. I also remember a cup semi replay between Bohs and Pats circa 2003 being incredibly exciting fare. There's surely more but those are the ones that stick out for me.

cournioni

Barcelona semi final in 2008, pure tension watching Messi and Co. trying to break through our rock solid defence and then seeing us counter attack with Ronaldo up top. Great goal by Scholes too.

United against Spurs in 1999 at Old Trafford, watching them take the lead, then Beckham scores the equaliser and Cole lobbing Walker for the winner. I was interviewed by BBC that day too!

United against Arsenal in the two cup games in 1999 too, amazing games.

That game was brutal to watch in fairness. Not taking away from Dunne's performance in any way, but the game itself was horrible.

Man Utd v Liverpool FA Cup SF 2nd Replay 1985
The craic on the school bus the following day recounting this game. Paul McGrath OG, Robson equaliser, Hughes winner. Its the game that really got me into soccer - can still remember the atmosphere in the living room at home.



Another that stands out for obvious reasons Man Utd v Sheff Wednesday 1993. The game wasn't great but of course it turned the season around for United and won Ferguson his first league.

This game was back in the day when RTE used to have the rights to show DELAYED matches on Saturday afternoon. So the game was actually 15 minutes over before the hysteria hit the RTE audience. United went 1-0 down with on 64 minutes and all looked lost. I gave up on the TV in anger and turned on the radio which had the game live.....just as in real time Steve Bruce equalised. Cue excitement. Radio turned off again and TV put back on....20 minutes later RTE caught up and we saw Bruce's equaliser and then we headed into extra time - all 6 or 7 minutes of it and Bruce got up again to socre the winner. The Man Utd fans in Ireland, stuck in a strange time warp, went into meltdown a good 20 minutes after the rest of the world had witnessed it. Strange times the early 90s.

Great thread OP, causing me to relive some classics I haven't thought about for a good while now. Particularly the match with the North in 1993. Good article here on it that I'm pretty sure was linked a while back on Boards.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2012/feb/15/forgotten-story-17-november-1993

Paz-CCFC

Other matches I'd love to relive would be City away to Apollon Liamassol in the Champions League. 1-0 up in the home leg, Apollon score in the second half of the away leg, but up pops our European top scorer, big centre back Dan Murray, to put us through. "Top of the league and we're winning in Europe"; those were the days, hopefully we'll have them back next season. 2-0 against Bohs in the Cup semi in Dayler in 2007, too. Spine tingling rendition of the Banks at the end.

I didn't see it for the first time, cause I missed the second half, but the Sligo v Drogheda Cup Final had to have been a cracker. Drogheda 1-0 up for most of the match, Sligo equalise with about 15 minutes to go, they go 2-1 up a few minutes short of injury time, Drogheda equalise four minutes into injury time and Sligo score the winner seven minutes into injury. What a rollercoaster that was and what a way to win the cup.

Would be mine too. I felt an emotion that night that I'm unlikely to ever feel again. I hugged complete strangers, bellowed some unrecognisable, alien sound and was in a higher state of consciousness as soon as the ball left Cummins head.

It's the mark of a great result, when you're hugging people you've never seen before!

This.

I broke my ankle the night before, but refused to go to the hospital because I knew I'd be put in plaster and wouldn't be able to go to Tolka.

So obviously, I self medicated with a bottle of captain morgan and a ton of strong painkillers on the bus going up. Didn't feel any pain from my ankle as a result, but I was fairly out of it by the time I got to Tolka. Sneaky naggin in the jacket as well to keep me going during the match.

As for the game... Tell ya the truth Brandt I don't remember most of it.

I was in trouble the next day when the booze wore off I can tell ya. My ankle was a weird combination of black/yellow/purple and about three times it's normal size.

They can take your leg, but they can't take your memories!

Scott Miller

Sorry lads, I've got a meeting in a couple minutes and I won't be able to approve any of the second half posts. This isn't the normal match day thread where the posts don't require approval. Hopefully another moderator will be around for the second half.

3-0 at half-time. Silly Silly Scousers! They can add that to their wonderful history!

Jackass1987

Kaka! Kaka! Kaka!

Kaka was amazing! Hes superb! Bid for him! 100m!!!

Anyway Crespo ....2 for Chelsea!

Khobar

Thanks Liverpool - FOR EMBARASSING THE PREMIER LEAGUE!!

LMAO :-) A few million on Crespos transfer fee methinks.

h3rby

my bin dipper pal is sayin omg were playin like chelsea ahahahahahahaha what a d**k

Jackass1987

Anyway, Rafa got it all wrong! His line-ups are crappy. Harry Kewell shouldnt be there....instead he should play Cisse. Cos he tought he can do a Chelsea against the mighty Milan....sorry mate!

I think 2nd half Milan will play it cool...and Pool will ...wait SHOULD attack like crazy.....

PaulT

So far just what I'd hoped for - resounding proof that (from England's point of view) the wromng team are in the final.

Gary Stone

Crespo's second goal was stunning, what a pass and finish.

Jackass1987

I keep imagine how is it going to be if Chelsea are playing...Terry taking on Cresp ...Carval on Sheva and so on...

Anyway Pool's defense is SHAKY tonight. Caraggher is nowhere at sight.......

h3rby

I miss him bring him back (

vincent

HaHaHahah HahahahahaHahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH and then ROFL

Richard

Poetic justice. Pool were never good enough for the big stage. That's what happens when you get into the realms of fantasy. They were lucky to go through against us.

Alex Kirke

Maybe the fools who so desperately wanted to see the CL come back to England, but cheered on Liverpool against us, will wish so much that it was Chelsea out there now.

h3rby

ahahahahah gerrard almost in tears!!! priceless!!

Crespo hatrick tellin ya........... then comes back 2 bridge in summer as a blues hero hahaha

Khobar

C'mon Milan for Gods sake.

Alex Kirke

I don't know... Milan have really been shaken by those 3 goals.

I don't care if it goes to pens or not, as long as Milan win.

h3rby

milan will go through on pens i reckon

voodoo

Can't believe no one is commenting on Gerrard's dive for the penalty !

Rooney would have been proud of that one. Disgusting. But then again he's English, isn't he.

blue bliz

Is it just me or did Gerrard completely flop to get that penalty? I could have sworn that he was doing a Deco impersonation.

frad

Milan to win on penalties and Stevie OG to miss the decisive one. Would be nice to see that happen....

hernancrespo

Milan are beginning to do my head in. Come on Milan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Mcgoochan

voodoo and blue bliz, good shout. Thought the same thing. As do alot of people on this site.

h3rby

Milan are starting to go for the jugular now

Paul Mcgoochan

Double save by Dudy. Can see Liverpool winning this on pens.

The football Red Star played in those days was absolutely brilliant.
Take a look at the line up, there are some familiar names
They went on to win the cup that year by beating Marseille in a very disappointing final.

France v Neterlands 2000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_suGGxF_PNs

3-2, awesome awesome game. Great goals. That Frank deBoer free kick (at about 1:08 on the vid) is possibly my favourite free kick I've seen. Everybody is just setting up and he just strolls up and belts it into the top corner.

Obviously it got overshadowed by the Spain Yugoslavia game but even when you think that England Portugal 3-2 game was in Euro 2000 as well! What a group stage that was.

Despite how good WC 2014 was, Euro 2000 was for me the best international tournament played in my lifetime
