Just throwing this in to get you all thinking, we know the games TG4 normally throw up to us, Dublin V Mayo 2014 etc..Kilkenny and Tipp 2010 for example, all great games and worth their re-airing, but there are other games, not All Ireland semifinals or finals which were mighty contests and I would love to see again..here are the first few come to mind...1. Cork V Limerick drawn munster hurling semi-finals 1983 and replay 1987 - John Fenton got his "ivomec" goal of all time in the replay 2. Offaly V Kilkenny Leinster SH SF semifinal 1985. Cork V Tipp - Munster SH Final 1984 (centenary munster final - Tipp over hauled in last few minutes) & 1987 and 1988 Kilkenny V Wexford Leinster hurling semi final 1984 - Tony Doran late goal dethroned Kilkenny and stopped their 3 in a row bid in centenary year. National hurling League finals of 1983 and 1984 Tipp & Limerick drawn and reply Munster final 1996 Antrim & Offaly 1989 All Ireland hurling semi final Dublin V Meath 1991 - pick anyone of them games!! Meath V Kildare 1997 Cork V Waterford 2004 these are only games I have thought of quickly with little much thought..tell us what yours are: Fairplayalways (Offaly) - Posts: 387 - 23/03/2020 15:57:51 2274389 Link
Would love to see the 1993 leinster hurling final drawn game between wexford and Kilkenny, I had it on video when I was a kid, super wholehearted game. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 979 - 23/03/2020 17:36:30 2274406 Link
Replying To Bon: "Would love to see the 1993 leinster hurling final drawn game between wexford and Kilkenny, I had it on video when I was a kid, super wholehearted game." Fantastic match! Two teams who really fancied their chances of going all the way that year. I think half the All Stars were picked from that match in the end. Haven't seen the full match in a long time so I'd welcome that one! SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2020 - 23/03/2020 18:17:44 2274415 Link

Nail biting stuff. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 979 - 23/03/2020 19:22:13 2274417 Link
Yes Meath V Kildare 1st replay in 1997 probably greatest match I was ever at. Kildare had fantastic players none more so than Niall Buckley at the time. Meath were all-Ireland champions with outstanding forwards but looked a little tired. Kildare seemed home and hosed until Jodie Devine stepped up to the plate. Legendary commentary from the great Jim Kearney made for wonderful entertainment. If only Leinster was anything like this now. As it turned out Offaly won Leinster while Kildare finally had their day 1998 only to lose to the great Galway team in the final. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 237 - 23/03/2020 19:46:51 2274421 Link

I'd love to see the Antrim v offaly allireland semifinal 1989 that was the first time I really got an interest in hurling. Id love to see Cork v kerry in the Munster semifinal replay 2010 from PUC, what a game that was, that game had everything hard hits fights and brilliant scores from both sides. Kerry v Armagh allireland quarterfinal. Kerry v Sligo allireland qualifier 2009. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 11732 - 23/03/2020 21:43:19 2274433 Link

Replying To mickcunningham: "dublin v kerry 1977 greatst game of all time and of course 2004 leinster football replay" Cork V Kerry 1983 Munster football final...that was a great game of football... had Laois Kilkenny beaten in Leinster hurling championship around 1999 only for Kilkenny to steal it at the deathlike like other posters all classic games dont have to be All Ireland finals either...

Replying To mickcunningham: "dublin v kerry 1977 greatst game of all time and of course 2004 leinster football replay" The 1978 final was better mick, mikeys goal and the bombers hatrick. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 11732 - 24/03/2020 13:51:45 2274473 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "The 1978 final was better mick, mikeys goal and the bombers hatrick." Personally I thought the 1982 final was the best of all. Despite the poor weather conditions there were incredible levels of skill displayed by both teams, including some of the best point scoring ever seen in Croke Park. Each of Offaly's three half backs kicked great points from play while the late, great Paidi managed two from wing back. Brendan Lowry, Tom Spillane, Matt Connor and Eoin Liston also had spectacular points. I watched a replay of the famous 1977 semi-final some time ago and I was amazed at the number of times players from both sides kicked the ball aimlessly, sometimes over the sideline. While it was a gripping contest between the two best teams of that era, I think the tremendous excitement of the closing ten minutes camouflaged what was otherwise an ordinary enough game, though it's probably heresy to say that. midlands (Westmeath) - Posts: 221 - 24/03/2020 18:55:34 2274527 Link

The replay of the '91 MHF in Thurles. Cork were leading by 8 or 9 points with 15 minutes left. Aidan Ryan scored a fantastic goal to help seal victory. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dnm4dYQjF3JE&ved=2ahUKEwiZo9yj57PoAhUTQxUIHSr-C7MQwqsBMAF6BAgEEAQ&usg=AOvVaw0u8ILO739ha5a9AlPtt337. Tipp went on to defeat Kilkenny in the AI to lift the Liam Mccarthy cup. Coopers_Helmet (Tipperary) - Posts: 154 - 24/03/2020 19:21:50 2274539 Link
