That's not fair, you said he wasn't playing! Forget about Roy Keane returning to the Ireland side, Zidane declared his intention to give up international football after Euro 2004, only to launch a surprise attack on Ireland and completely end our chances of making the 2006 World Cup, which Zidane then nearly won by himself. Not fair.
Robinho's clearly offside goal in a friendly in London.
He was a bloody mile off! The World was watching as Ireland gave a heroic performance in a meaningless friendly between Brazil and Ireland at the Emirates Stadium in London in 2010, and that cheeky pup Robinho was delighted with himself after scoring twice, the first of which was clearly offside. The second was sensational Brazilian football, yes, but they got the momentum from a ridiculous decision. It was only a friendly, so maybe just the €2m payment this time.
That feckin' eejit not letting John Aldridge on the pitch against Mexico.
The yellow-capped muppet who prevented Aldridge from entering a match he clearly would have swung in Ireland's favour, instead wound Aldo up so much that he through him off his game. We could have bloody won USA 94 with the confidence we would have gained from that result. A travesty.
Toto Schillaci
There was definitely something dodgy about Salvatore Schillaci, a man who nobody had heard of before the 1990 World Cup, and nobody heard from after. He was just planted in the Italian team to score goals, and eliminate Ireland in particular. An investigation into that mysterious purple patch of form would surely have been concluded with a payment to the FAI, what ever happened to FIFA Fair Play? Eh?
