Offaly v Kerry shouldn't be on that list. Offaly were making incremental progress each year. Not in the same league as the others you have there. Wimbledon v Liverpool is another actually. Wimbledon were a top division team.

Offaly were Leinster champions!

Celtic winning the European Cup was some achievement as well
also what Clough did with Forest
and Steaua and Red Star - 4 unimaginable wins nowadays

Antrim vs Offaly 1989
Mayo under 21s bucking the trend in 06 and actually winning the all Ireland - something like one out of 14 all competitions

david beating goliath was a massive upset, people still talk about it.

Mayo Gaels beating Knockmore in the mid-nineties

The girl (Italian) that beat Williams in USA open semi... you can catch the big players in first/second round but at semi final stage then its big

Definitely. In 2015 that was the massive upset.

94

Laois and Westmeath winning Leinster. Just fancy that nowadays.
what Micko did with Kildare was unusual as well

Schalke actually beat Bayern in 2010

At least Laois and Westmeath had won underage All Irelands before those senior Leinster wins and Dublin weren't as good as now. Louth should have won Leinster five years ago and most neutrals were upset by the manner of that defeat in the final.
