2 thumbs up to all your choices and then I'll add Blanka Vlasic and Caroline Nytra. So many ridiculously attractive girls at this years European Championships....this needs a picture thread
I've no video of it but here is the Independent article from the day after the game. Easily the most ridiculous decision ever. The umpire practically ducked out of the way of the shot before it bounced back into play. 11 years on, not much has changed.

Cork have Sam in their hands, depends on how they react to being such short-odds favourites. Cork should beat any of the other 3 but it doess't always work out like that. I'd say it will be a Cork-Kildare final with Cork coming out on top. I can see Cork playing the same running game against Dublin that they used against Tyrone last year.
If Cork play well, Dublin won't be able to match that. Dublin need to have the game of their lives to beat Cork and hope Cork have an off day. Cork may need to start taking some of goal chances that they are not taking.
How do you define cheating? What is the difference morally between Gerry Murphy happily collecting a ball that he had seen hit the stanchion, come back into play and knocking it into the goal and Sheridan catching a ball and falling over the line with it?
They are similar, scores were awarded incorrectly. That Sheridan fell over the line with a ball or that a point went wide of the post is irrelevant, both were not scores. Sheridan is being painted as some sort of comic villain, which is just wrong.
It is not any worse than numerous other awful decisions. I have seen a shot go wide, come back into play and a goal scored from the resulting shot in a championship game between Tipp and Kerry. No replay given there. Clare v Tipperary in 2009 and was decided by an umpire awarding a goal even though the ball had not crossed the line. Galway were awarded a point from a Farragher sideline cut against Offaly even though it was clearly wide. Wides given as points and vice versa is unfortunately a common issue.
Why are none of these as bad as the Louth/Meath goal? What makes that so special? All are examples of the rules being broken and not being punished.
That is one similar incident leading to a replay in 126 years, hardly a sign that it is common for teams to offer a replay. The Claire/Offaly replay is a different situation, so cannot be compared. Although the silent sit-down protest used there obviously was more successful than attacking the referee, players, stewards, guards, fans etc as some Louth fans did (before anybody takes me up on it, I say some not all, not even a majority)
You can't willy-nilly offer replays, it would lead to chaos. Every disputed decision would lead to calls for a replay. Where was Meath's replay against Dublin a few years ago? Should Kerry get a replay against Down because a perfectly good goal was disallowed? Are you going to offer replays for goals in hurling where they have taken too many steps? No obviously not. A wrong decision is a wrong decision, no matter what minute it happens.
