Boards.ie End of Decade Awards: MATCH OF THE DECADE

flahavaj

OK lads, firstly my apologies for the slowness in putting up the results of the Ballots. I've put up the results of Ballot #1 and Ballot #2. the slowness is totally my fault, counting votes is much more tedious than I thought initially.

Anyway, onwards and upwards.

This is the category which I was looking forward to most. Theres been some absolute classics this decade and deciding on the best match of the decade is sire to be a very difficult task.

So in this category I'm asking for a vote of your TOP 5 MATCHES of the decade, as theres no shortage of candidates.

I'll leave voting open till after Christmas as the board traditionally goes dead around this time. I'd advise taking your time to think about this one as ten years is a huge body of matches to trawl through.

I'll bump the Discussion thread and please please have a chat about this before ye vote as the idea of this More than anything else I'd to get ye talking about the topic. I'll put up a list of potential contenders, feel free to throw up any other contendors to help everyone else out in working out their top 5.

**********THIS THREAD IS FOR VOTES IN THE TOP MATCH OF THE DECADE ONLY, PLEASE USE THE DISCUSSION THREAD FOR DISCUSSION TO FACILITATE COUNTING OF VOTES. YOU ARE CHOOSING YOUR TOP 5 IN THIS CATEGORY. CHEERS.********
