1991 losing the 3rd replay against Meath in the first round of the championship. Can't talk anymore about it. Mickmick (Dublin) - Posts: 104 - 16/02/2017 16:27:34 1957502 Link 0 |

32_4_1 in all fairness with the players that Meath had in the eighties and nineties you just have to sit back admire what teams they had under Boylan. I always give credit where is credit is due. Plus I am living right on the border so it just adds to the spice.

Maybe Damo it was a case of Galway being just a very good team. The cream of the crop tends to rise to the top and Galway had their share of unreal footballers back then.

Hard to top the 1994 hurling final. Limerick bossed the game for 65 minutes, then an 11 point turnaround in 5 minutes. I was at the game and it was almost surreal what happened.

'91v Down was the hardest for me nothing against Down at all but after the 4 game saga with the Dubs an ageing team on its last legs made to the final 11 points behind a half time got it back to 2 if 2/3 more minutes were played we would've won it and that great team would've won their 3rd AI '90 v Cork a close 2nd though runnerin (Meath) - Posts: 202 - 16/02/2017 17:31:16 1957527 Link 0 |

2000 leinster final against kildare 0-11 0-5 up at half time playing well then directly after half time I think it was fenin and Earley got goals which killed us we would only score 1pt in the 2nd half of that match ended up losing 2-11 to 0-12. Dublin lost 4 leinster finals in a row between 98 and '01 before winning in 2002. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 16/02/2017 17:56:32 1957531 Link 0 |

90 against Cork. Bitter rivals at that time, plus I was living in Cork at the time seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2142 - 16/02/2017 18:42:02 1957548 Link 0 |

Under 21 all ireland 07. Played a cork team with the likes of gould Goulding kerrigan shields and colm o neill. Pkayed tem off the park and led by 3 with 3 mins. Left. Conceded a soft a goal and a free in injury time to lose by 1 two ten to fifteen. Heartbreaking. Probably one of best ever displays by a laois team. 3 years later many of that cork team were winning senior medals Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 766 - 16/02/2017 18:50:21 1957549 Link 0 |

I think Dessie Dolans last min free kick miss against Meath in 2003 gets my vote. Earlier on in the game he scored some point from the sideline.

In relation to the Tribe without question the 1983 final against the Dubs left an indelible mark. Have never met them since at senior championship level to exact revenge. Was praying during 1998-2001 period that we would meet them but tbey were not a top team like us. Now roles are reversed but maybe down the road if they plateau and we rise again we might an opportunity to erase that day from the conscience. Funny it took me a long time to give them any recognition but certainly did not begrudge them 1995 as that team deserved an all Ireland and found me supporting them in 2011 purely to have new ish winners. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 16/02/2017 19:29:26 1957564 Link 1 |

Dessie missing that free... the draw that felt like a defeat. Still can't believe that happened. Jack_Sparrow (Westmeath) - Posts: 1017 - 16/02/2017 21:07:24 1957596 Link 0 |

3. v Wexford 08, lovely sunny day, great day for ball and we blew them off the park in the 1st half, leading by 10pts at HT, then the second half happened, Wexford staged a great comeback and won the game by a point. Apart from the bitter disappointment of losing a 10pt lead (something which saldy we've become more accustomed to lately), it dashed the genuine hopes we had of returning as a force because we'd gotten to the AI semi's in 2007. However we did make the semi's again in 2009, but it was another false dawn. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 16/02/2017 21:33:35 1957604 Link 0 |

Leinster final '84. Had stopped Kilkenny going for 3 in a row in the semi with a last minute Tony Doran goal. (Incidentally my favourite day of all time following Wexford) Dirk (Wexford) - Posts: 65 - 16/02/2017 21:57:41 1957608 Link 0 |

1990 was by far the worst for me. 8 points up early in the second-half and it could easily have been twice as much with Joe Cooney in unstoppable form. Then a total collapse as the Cork forwards are suddenly allowed to waltz through and score goals at will. After beating Kilkenny and Tipp in tight battles in the previous two finals, I though the days of Galway hurlers blowing big games had come to an end so this one was absolutely sickening.

Both Meath '91 and Mayo '06. Cork '89 hurt for numerous reasons. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 17/02/2017 00:29:10 1957629 Link 0 |
