@80s90sfootball Spent over a month at Italia 90. What a trip. Ireland Didn’t win a game after 90 minutes but got all the way to the quarter final. But there was some travelling involved. Sardinia twice, Sicily, Genoa, Rome, and a bonus game Columbia v Cameroon in Naples..

@EwanMacKenna Absolutely robbed back then. Had five or six great years but refs conspired regularly against Ireland. Belgium and Bulgaria come to mind amongst others.
@UtdBeforFergie@BullasDavid@LouMacari10 Fully deserving of a knighthood, but probably doesn’t want to be associated with some of the past recipients . Lou will always be a legend to me.
