Did anyone see the England v Ireland international legends match last night on Satanta, I tuned in by chance and was plesantly surprised by the level of football that was played, Lee Sharp scored a hat trick for the English the first being a dodgey penalty awarded by a dodgey ref Mike Rilley and Ireland replied with a brace of goals from our own trigger and one from the mighty Quinn, all the goals were good and well taken (expect the dodgey pen) with the pick of the bunch being trigger's first, the game ended 3-3 but unfortunely Ireland lost out in a penalty shoot out, very entertaining though.
Saw end of first half when Quinn scored. Like you I was surprised at the decent level and in particular the fitness of some of the lads. Mind you, some like Kenny Cunningham aren't long in retirement, but for most of them it's been a few years and more in some cases.
Yeah Dub13, you missed a good game of footbal, and as Fish2 said, I also was surprised at the level of fitness espeicaly David Kelly he ran his heart out, I don't know what the attendance was, but it looked a decent crowd and they seemed to enjoy it too.
Not sure where it was played but Trigger scored an absolue peach - Eddie McGoldrich blazed over the bar in the penalty shoot-out
It was Dermot Gallagher reffing the game ! Anyone see the Irish guy who ran onto the pitch after Quinn scored his peno ? He ran over to Quinn with his pants down lol
ye that was some stumble across the pitch - merson had a cracking game and took a peach of a peno in the shootout- mc goldrick was up to his playin days standard with his pen - shocker!
Did I hear there is a Irish legends game here Sunday, only caught a few mins here and there but would agree I was pleasntly suprised with the level of football.
LOL... me? never would I greet big Niall Quinn whilst my bare arse was showing ha ha ! Aren't Liverpool Legends playing Finn Harps soon or has that been and gone ?
