Just wondering what the largest deficit ye remember being turned around?
Mayo were 12 points down to Dublin in the league this year and got back to level terms but then lost the game.
6 down to cork the last day, 7 to the dubs in '06 and was it 7 to Galway in '04?
There was also some game there in the mid 90's that we were 6 points up but we drew that thank God :-\
Edit: maybe keep it to intercounty
Armagh were at least 7 down to Fermanagh at the Athletic Grounds in the early 90's with 5 minutes to go and won by a point.
Down were 9 up against Tyrone in 2003. Not overturned I suppose.
Tipperary minors were 11 points behind Kerry in the first half of the Munster Semi Final and 10 points behind at half time, but won by a point. Armagh minors pulled back a very big lead against Down. I am not sure of the lead that Down had, but AFAIK it was in the 10 points region. Only for an unlucky extra time defeat for Armagh by Roscommon the All Ireland Quarter Final, Tipp and Armagh would have met in the All Ireland Semi Final in 2 weeks time. That would have been a game to look forward to.
I seem to remember way back in the blearly eyed mists of time in the 1982 Ulster Minor Final, Antrim were at one point possibly 11?? points down against Down and went on to win. Time may have stretched this deficit but they were at least 9 points down at one stage.

Armagh were 12 down with 20 mins to go this year against Down and won the game.

Armagh were at least 7 down to Fermanagh at the Athletic Grounds in the early 90's with 5 minutes to go and won by a point.
It was 9 points down with around 5-6 minutes to go. Fermanagh were a bit cocky and brought on some young lads as a run-out. Armagh more-or-less having given up on the sidelines brought on Barry O'Hagan to give him a debut. Barry got the ball wide and ran at the defence. Even though Armagh needed goals badly, Barry hit the ball over the bar. To be honest he just looked like he wanted a score on his championship début. The rest of the team looked at him like he was an idiot. Anyway from the kickout the ball went to midfield where it was fielded and then booted forward - Goal. few minutes left and now five points in it. Grimley was moved to full forward from midfield and the result was pretty much two kickouts, two catches, two punts forward and two net busters.
Armagh won by a point and if it hadn't been for O'Hagan's point it would have been a draw at best. The Athletic Grounds was half empty by the time the final whistle was blown as a lot of Armagh fans had left early in disgust. I passed lots of orange flags that had been thrown in the hedges and ditches as I left the ground. I was thinking that I bet those guys wished they had stayed and never thrown their flags away.
I believe the game was 1993.
2008: Wexford 10 down to Meath and won by 1
'72 hurling final. Cork 8 up with 13 min to go and Kilkenny scored 2-9 to win.
'91 Munster hurling: Tipp 9 pts down to Cork and won by 4
'08 A-I Semi. Cork were 8 points down to Kerry with 2 min to go and 6 pts down with the 70 minutes up and scored 2 goal in injury time to draw. In the replay Cork came from 10 points down to draw level only to see the Gooch score a late goal to win.

Offaly 5 five down with 5 to play and won 6. Some turnaround. I'll never forget the faces of some of the Limerick fans leaving that match.
Neither will I :D

We were 0-7 to 0-0 down to Kerry in the 2000 AI final and the game eventually finished 0-14 all. We should have won it at the death too. Still sick over that one.
I also remember the Galway hurlers being 9 points up at half-time against Kilkenny in 97 I think before a DJ inspired 2nd half comeback.
Hard to beat the 1994 hurling final though for dramatic comebacks.

dublin were about 10 behind against kerry in thurles in 2001 in the first game and came back to draw.
1986 All Ireland final. Kerry 7 points down, would have been 9 if Tyrone scored a goal from a penalty instead of a point, Kerry won by 8.

What has your last piece got to do with the largest deficit over turned & does that mean your not looking forward to the semi final now?
Going back to the topic i bet Meath over turned some big scores.

I thought we were 14 down against Dublin at one stage in the league this year... not 'just' 12 !
i played in a junior game in dublin in the late nineties where we were losing by 22 points at half time and won by a point. we had a fella playing the second half that was lets just say not very junior in the skills department. anyway the herald refused to accept the scoreline, outlandish amount of goals.
Cavan were 7 behind wicklow in the qualifiers last year and down to 13 men and won by a point.
86 a clear winner we did it on the biggest stage not some junior b game and Spillane was the main man. ;)

That was my first championship game in the athletic grounds and probably accounts for my love affair with county football. Remember meeting people outside after who wouldn't believe me Armagh had won

Just a comment that 2 teams that had appeared to be definitely out of the Championship at an early stage almost met in an All Ireland Semi Final. Certainly looking forward to the game with Roscommon and meant no offence to any Ros players or supporters. I note the bookies have RN installed as favourites to reach the final with Dublin the hottest of favourites in the other semi.

It was 14 points. 4-4 to 0-2 after 23 minutes. And that was without B Brogan who had missed his flight after meeting Barack Obama in the White House.
1999 Leinster champ agin Wexford in a wet and windy Enniscorthy.
10 points down early doors second half - managed to get a draw and won the replay in Longford.
Wasn't there a big comeback in a Meath-Wexford game a couple of years back?
Can't remember who came back or who won!
Any of my Rossie mates out there?
A few years ago in a Connacht semi-final, Galway had built up a huge lead at half time. I just can't recall the details now but it was an absolutely cat day in the Hyde. Roscommon had performed so badly in the first half that it seemed Galway could start making plans for the final.
However, the sheepophiles had other ideas and came out fighting when the game restarted. Galway didn't know what hit them. Even making allowances for the weather, Roscommon deserved great credit for their second half display. They won with several points to spare.
I think this happened in 2004 but I'm not sure.

the game was the same day derry went to ballybofey and won, wexford won as they played in the leinster final that year, but I can't remember if it was they who threw away the lead but ultimately prevailed or if meath threw away the lead. It was May 2008 iirc.

I can't remember us losing to Roscommon in championship since the 2001 game. In 2004 I think we lost the semi to Mayo. Did we not go 1-3 to 0-0 up after 5 minutes but got overhauled.

2006 we almost held Galway scoreless at HT they got a dodgy free 3mins into injury time to make it 6-1 then they went goal crazy in the 2nd half. Sligo had a big lead over us in 1998 & Galways minors also had big lead in 08 but i can't recall a senior comeback v them.

It was 1-14 ro 0-10 with 8 mins left and MM took off 3 Sligo players at once and unsettled our team, ros scored 2-2 and went a 1pt ahead, we equalised with 45 and lost replay by a 1pt.
Sligo 2-9 to 0-10 down to Armagh in 2002 with 6 mins left and just got a man sent off and came back to draw, did something similar to Kildare in Markievicz qualifier to win. Obviously Galway replay last yr was an exciting comeback with 3 mins left and 3 down.

Well at least they gave Limerick a decent game the last time they played them.
Already mentioned but bizarre to think it actually happened - 2003 Ulster Final, Tyrone were nine points behind early in the second half against Down who had been reduced to fourteen players before half-time. When Down got their third goal (Liam Doyle?) to go nine ahead Paddy O'Rourke started jumping up and down the sideline like a fool in front of Mickey Harte... of course Tyrone hauled the deficit back and mauled Down by 15 in the replay. Tyrone went on to win the All-Ireland, Down lost heavily to Donegal in their next game.

We actually beat Limerick the last time we played them in the championship Michael.
Google is your friend. ;)
Was reading a piece by McEniff in the Donegal Democrat recently. He says that in the 1974 Ulster Final replay, Donegal came from nine points down with twelve minutes left to win by three! Surely that must be up there in terms of amazing comebacks in big games?
