I watched that game with about 25 mates and at the start of the game
I had a feeling that Ian Harte would miss a peno so I said it to a few people.
It was a weird premonition that came true, and when we got the peno I just
knew he would miss, that I didnt even get excited. A few of my mates still blame me for that.:rolleyes:
