Ireland Vs England Football, Lansdowne Road, Dublin City, Ireland 1978

England way out on their left now and it's I think Brooking taking this corner kick on England's left referee waiting while couple of cameramen are put away from the by line a in a dangerous position apparently the linesman on this side red flag linesman is ushering them back doesn't want them so near to the by line they're behind the goal there to our right at the lanstone road end here's brooking's Corner cuts it low to the area flick up in the air it's in the net backford the ball deflected off an Irish Boot and it's in the net and Ireland has conceded First Blood Peter yes a terrible disaster it didn't look any danger from a set piece all the arish defenders in but unfortunately the corner got a little deflection and lford was there to stick out that head of his and go in off a Defender never looked on nothing looked on but unfortunately so often happens in games like this especially when that they look least likely to score at that period even but the ball come across it didn't look a good corner to me it was towards the near post and then routed got a deflection from a nerdish head right onto ledford's head and he stuck out his head and the ball went in off the goalkeeper into the back of the net so one goal to nil down and Ireland has it all to do now as England lead by one goal to nil they're only minut it's gone here in Lone Road big Brady Holmes is up there but this is couple couple who does such a good job for both this club in this country playing deep on the right now Jimmy Holmes oh and GI had a chance one Striker presented the other one with the chance it was lashford to his back and they say you should never play forwards as Defenders and lashford back at set to half and Watson has taken a off looks like his tie is gone but really a chance for Dawn given the number 11 there it was Bob lford back in the heart of the England defense where he had gone back earlier to Mark David O at a free kick you'll see when it comes to lford he really didn't have the control and there was the chance for GI sum total of all that is that Dave Watson seems have got a tie strain and Phil Thompson is getting ready Phil Thompson of Liverpool there with Bill Taylor the Manchester City coach and England coach so we'll have the two Liverpool men at the heart of the defense and a big big loss to England is Dave Watson the G again then for Ireland that one goal down David oeri takes the tumbo and will get a free kick indirect free kick for [Applause] obstruction now has just moved across the gold mou to the far Post mge in there as well so is Ryan and given D's with a box Holmes is just on the edge of the Penalty Box and this is Le Brady for Dy oh yes oh yes Jerry Dy road is alive to the sound of daily it was Liam Brady's free he knew everything that was on spotted the unmarked daily and one take it out red lemons Jerry Daly scored at Wembley against England that time from the penalty spot this time at the end of a dead ball situation 1-1 the crowds alive the game's alive and England know they're in one [Applause] Keagan thereby Greg to St him now Brady [Applause] as Thompson to get it back to R Clemens as 90 minutes takes by back the referee not a second overtime and it's all over the teams go in at 1-1 a very valuable point for England they will see it as a0 one perhaps AR would see it as a point loss let's have a quick word here from Rich RI as the teams leave the field first of all I think it was a very good game I think the Irish Lads I feel disappointed for them because they played very well but to be fair the English side in the second half they definitely played a lot better than the first half overall I thought it was a good game was certainly a good game to watch and I feel that the goal that was this allowed was very very unfortunate for us so there it is just allowed was that's Liam Brady played his heart out and displayed his wide range of skills in the game but all to no Avil as far as victory is concerned and Ireland have still to beat England at full International level in Dublin so the team teams go in England with a point one I should think Ireland perhaps with a point loss as far as the European Championship is concerned Bob latchford the scorer for England Jerry Dy the scorer for Ireland we hope you've enjoyed the action at lanstein Road thank you for joining us and from Ray Tracy and Jimmy McGee bye-bye for now
