Kerry were awarded a goal for a wide against Tipperary in the 1999 Munster football championship. Ball hit the stanchion at the back of the side netting and bounced back to the lad who had hit the shot and he stuck it in the net. Neither the umpires nor the ref copped it had gone wide. I think Gerry Murphy was the name of the player.

ONeill

In July 1997. Larry Reilly had a pop from 55m out with four men hanging out of him, and he sent it wide.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Armagh's comeback v Fermanagh in 1993.

Don't know how I forgot about that one!

We should have a Houdini thread or a Lazarus one, perhaps.

Armagh had 7 matches that year didnt they?

Then there was the match with the ridiculous overhead point from the end line.... against Donegal wasnt? That was truly a bonkers moment, people are still trying to figure what or how it happened

redzone

The time the Dublin fans spat down on Tommy Lyons after a defeat. Never heard of it happening before or after in the gaa

Yeah I mentioned that one earlier. Thought it was Maurice Fitz. Didn't think it was that long ago either.

We had 6 matches in 1993, and still didn't reach the Ulster final.

Was that Damien O'Reilly's point in 1992 you're thinking of?

Found the Dessie Dolan clip.

I'd say he's still having sleepless nights about this

It's some score.

You know the one I mean, that's got to go on it.

Thats the one.... now quite overhead  ;D but ridiculous score all the same

imtommygunn

I'd forgotten about that one. Ah when football was worth watching though I'll appreciate it a lot more from here on in lol.

Gmac

Laois and Louth beating the shit out of each other for 3/4 minutes in croke park around 1990, was at the game and it was a surreal situation with subs and officials from both sides getting involved, lifetime bans would be fished out now .

I went to them all and watched the band wagon grow. I think the first game in Fermanagh had a less than 10,000 crowd, miserable wet day as well.

The first 4 games had similarities, Armagh getting late points or goals go grab a draw or a win. Then in first Donegal game it was Armagh who gave up a late lead as Donegal snatched a draw, it felt like a missed opportunity.

BennyCake

Aye, John Duffy got 2 late points. We blew it that day.
