Italia 90 - Did you know

Rhys Essien

Niall Quinn was registered as our third choice goalkeeper.

Was thinking If we register John O Shea as our third choice for Euro 2012,could we gain a place for an out field player.

N. Korea Tried to do that for the WC, were told he could only play as a 'keeper.

In the Italia 90 video, Quinn's in goal for a few pen's during training IIRC

I wasn't aware of it either until it happened to them

I think if you want to bring 2 keepers you should be allowed. Stupid, but it's your team.

That's club football.

For the World Cup squad you have to register three players who can only play in goals. Not sure if it's the same for the European Cup.

Never heard that about Niall Quinn but I remember a couple of world cups ago teams would often bring only two goalkeepers. Presumably FIFA changed the rules at some point.

Remember Sports Stadium when they show a 3.00ko, but would start the game 3.30 on the show, basically half hour delay.

Before even aertel it was like watching it live and with no mobiles nobody could tell ya the score etc. Sky was really only starting in those days

Those were the days. I feel old and sound like my father:pac:

Is a world cup squad 23 players now to facilitate three goalies ?

I remember going to my mates house and they had the "Multi Channel",so he had Ceefax which told you who scored which Aertel didnt at the time unless one of the Irish lads scored,Aertel was no longer the same after that

Sure David James came on as an outfield sub for City in the last game of the season a few years ago,even had an outfield jersey

I`ve had red wine, but the referee reminds me of Emlyn Hughes.

I'd say if push came to shove they'd have no problem if you chose to play Kieran Westwood outfield, so long as you had picked three recognized goalkeepers in the first place.

The North Korea ruling was just to stop them taking the piss by only bringing just two and an extra outfield player; because when squads had been increased from the traditional 22 to 23 it was specifically for an extra keeper.

Slightly of topic ,but did Quinn once save a penalty and score a penalty in the same game ,,,OR was it just scoring a goal and saving a peno as showen in the derby county video posted.

Jesus that brings back memories, was actually at the game as part of a trip with the team I played for at the time. Great game to be at just for that moment...didn't think it was early 90's.:eek:
