I have been thinking recently about Amnesia… and how do you figure out if you have it. Ok, if you can’t remember something big that you know happend, fine… but what about memories that are 15 years old… would you miss them? Maybe someday somebody you should remember comes up to you and says hi… but you just plain don’t remember them…
Before you think I have Amnesia… well I do, but I’m only missing about a month… as far as I know…
While Dad was home, he went to see Drogheda United play FK Start in the Uefa Cup with a couple of his mates. I had started going to see some Eircom League games over the last couple of years, but hasn’t made it to one in a while. The temptation of a European game in Dalymount Park was too much for me to resist.
The game on the whole was enjoyable with Drogheda Utd scoring to even the score up on aggregate. Some of the Drogheda Utd tactics didn’t make sense to me, but they scored a good goal and had a genuine shot at getting through to the next round. Nothing strange here…
The penalty shoot out ended up 4 - 4 after the first 5 penalties and it went into sudden death. And now for the bit that I will probably never see again, the penalties ended up going as far as 12 kicks each and FK Start won 11 - 10 on penalties. There were so many kicks that even the goalies had to take penalties on each other, and then the first player for Drogheda had to take a second penalty which he unfortunately missed. Incredible stuff.
