Okay.

Where does it lie?

There's always recency bias with these things, but for me, it's, I think, on a par with the Henri handball.

And I was... That was a sense of injustice, wasn't it?

It was injustice.

Yeah.

It was injustice, yeah.

And maybe there's no injustice with this one.

This is just pure...

like if Ireland had lost 2-0 last night or you know not giving away goals as stupidly as they did if the Czech scored two really good goals you'd be like thinking okay fair enough this is nearly top of the list column I think like

And it's not only that, but at around 80 minutes, with 10 minutes left, Ireland are 2-1 up, there's a moment where the pirate save happens, then Robbie Brady, you know, crunches in, does he win a goal kick, and Malumby comes in and G's him up, and Brady G's up the crowd, and then Depeche Mode, just can't get enough, rings out amongst the Irish fans, and you're thinking...

Jesus, lads, we actually might do this.

It's going to be a long nine minutes plus stoppage time, but we might do this in normal time.

And then Krejci scores the header from a silly free given away.

Look, Krejci could have won it at the end of normal time.

There was a decent, decent chance for the Czechs.

But, yeah, on a Payne-Richter scale, this is... It is up there, you know.

For you?

It's, as you said there, it's the promise of what would have been, some people say, oh, we would have gone on to lose to Denmark on Tuesday night anyway.

There's no guarantee of that.
