Boardsies decide: Best sporting moments (nominations closed, knockout ongoing)

Green&Red

I’ll go Aguero too, both memorable moments but that’s probably the best moment of the premiership era

Tell me how

The World cup final game was already over at that point and while the phrase was well chosen, it wasn't that dramatic. Even Hurst's reaction was understated.

But, Aguero? Epic. And I say that as a fan of a team wearing red.................................Liverpool.

Ha..I was gonna wait to see if a casting vote was required.....Aguero with one O so. An amazing way to win a league title. Literally on edge of seat watching that final day.

duffman13

As United fan, that was pox but it was a mental moment, they were down and out. The fact it's up against England winning the world cup means I'll vote with a heavy heart for Aguero

Hoboo

Aaaaaaaah that's tough. Aguero is amazing, but it hasn't been iconic for over 50 years.

1966 for me.

ArnoldJRimmer

City's first title in donkeys years vs England cheating their way past the Germans

I'll go with Aguero, probably only behind Michael Thomas in terms of dramatic title wins

Green&Red

6–1, one more for the win

jasonb

Yep, Aguero for me too, if only for that clip of the sheer frustration and despair on the face of the City fan, hitting his scarf against his seat, before they won it. That clip, to me, captures what being a fan can be like sometimes...

Green&Red

Agueroooooooooooo through

Green&Red

I’ll leave this here over night



Tiger wins the US Open in 2008

V

Tracy Porter's interception at Super Bowl 2010

Green&Red

Tiger for me but a poor match up IMO

Necro

Tiger for me too.

ArnoldJRimmer

Just the luck of the draw!

I'll go for Tiger, even though this really should be the 2005 putt on the 16th. Thats the one they'll be showing on his obituary highlights reel

jasonb

Pick 6 for me...

Collie D

Isn’t that the US Open rather than the Masters?

Not his greatest win even if it was on one leg and who’d have thought he’d wait another decade between Majors. Tiger gets my vote but a lot of that is down to no idea who the other lad is and video blocked by NFL for me.

Is there not a link below where it says it’s blocked that says ‘watch on You Tube’? That one worked for me

Learn something new every day. I’ll stick with my original vote though.

MrKingsley

Tracy Porter for me hands down

sKeith

interception for me

The highlight is tiger masters the video is the us open?

gimli2112

Tigerr but if this was America it would probably be Tiger.

Green&Red

5-2 Updated to say US Open

Omackeral

At a push I'd say the Open because golf is more of a world wide game. Everyone knows Tiger Woods. I doubt that's the case for the other fella.

duffman13

I'll go golf aswell purely for the fact I've never seen the other clip before today

Green&Red

So Tiger advances, not the major I would have nominated him for

Green&Red

Jason McAteer effectively puts us through to the world cup (or so it transpired)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePNST9aczFI


V

The most recent on the list, Eliud Kipchoge sub 2 hour marathon

Green&Red

While its amazing to break two hours, I'd like to see it done in a race environment

McAteer for me, I was at Slane, The Verve I think, amazing atmosphere with it on the big screen, place went wild

gimli2112

Yeah McAteer although the marathon man was some achievement I doubt it will win out in an Irish poll

Collie D

While the sub 2 hour marathon is an amazing feat it would need to be done in race conditions for me.

Couldn’t get a ticket for the football that day but went to a boozer near stadium and the place erupted when McAteer scored. Straight into a taxi and out to Slane for U2. A good day.

Tell me how

Kipchoge achieved that time availing of mechanical doping, a tailor made course, a timing laser and world class pacers. It really doesn't belong here, in my view.

McAteer goal was one of the final memorable events in the old Landsdowne Rd.
No question this is the better moment.

jasonb

An interesting one. You could argue that Bannister breaking the 4 min mile, which won its round here, was also 'artificial' as he had pacers etc. But clearly the sub 2 hour marathon was 'more' artificial, and not under race conditions at all, though to me a sub 2 hour marathon is far more of an achievement compared to the sub 4 min mile, in terms of how long it's taken to break that time etc.

But, all that ****e aside, I was in Slane watching the match on the big screen when McAteer scored, and that's enough reason for me to vote for McAteer!

Necro

McAteer cos I *think* I nominated it

Green&Red

Jason and co go through 6-0

Green&Red

Finally Ireland beat New Zealand at home

V

Zidane's wonder goal in the 2002 CL final

jasonb

Have to go with the Rugby. The history of finally beating the world's best team wins out over one excellent goal in my mind.

Tell me how

Zidane.

Even as I watched it, I remember thinking that that was the most perfect execution of a volley you could expect to see. Flawless.

And on his weaker leg.

And in the final of the UCL.

duffman13

I like Rugby, I really do, it was a great achievement but beating a team in a one off test with pretty much nothing on it versus that Zidane goal in one of the biggest games of the year. It was incredible, Zizou for me

Green&Red

Dont know how I feel about this one, if it takes you over 100 years to beat a team in a sport that has 9 serious teams, well should that be celebrated?

The Zidane goal, great at the time but meh


Zidane gets my vote

Rikand

Tough one.

Like omahoneys interception by itself was better than the NFL one in the round previous

Zaph

Zidane. A goal like that with the pressure of a Champions League final is incredible. If it was a competitive match the rugby might be worth considering, but it was just a friendly.

Rikand

I could watch that zidane goal on repeat forever. The assist to him was even class


Voting for zinedine zidane

Green&Red

5-1 to Zidane

Put him through. Another vote from me. The technique was excellent.

Necro

I'd have voted for the rugby fwiw, watched it live and was an amazing game

Green&Red

That’s 6-2
It’s to 7 typically unless we get to 6-0

So Zindane needs one more

jasonb

Ah, I was wondering why some were to 7 and some to 6!

MrKingsley

Zidane for me. Best goal I’ve ever seen live given the circumstances w

Green&Red

And he’s through

Green&Red

This one could go a long way, the comebacks to beat all comebacks
Liverpool 3-0 down come back to win the CL

Maradona V England in Mexico '86, the hand of God and the wonder goal
