I’m not from Cork mate. Tony O’Donoghue is great. Pure box office.
I know mate, you’re a Carlow man.
Is MON not from the same place as Duffy and McLean?
McClean.
Whatever - it’s saved as McLean
Jimmy has had a cut off TOD and his ilk. Hard to blame him.
“Last night is going to hurt deep for a long, long time,” McClean said on Instagram. ”Nothing can change or make what happened last night right.
“Of course everyone is entitled to voice their opinion because it was simply not good enough from us on the night.
“We know that ourselves, but to stick the boot in and kick players and staff when they are down (players and staff that have been great servants to this country, players and staff that have qualified for a major tournament and were unlucky to be knocked out to a great team in the last 16, players and staff that were one game from making it to a World Cup, players and staff that would give anything for this great country!) with some over-the-top beyond football comments is bang out of order.
Hurting or not and trust me when I say this we hurt every bit as much as you do.
“I am proud and honoured to be a Irish man and to call everyone of these men fellow country men and team-mates! Like a said this will hurt deep, we have been written off so many times before and just like before we will bounce back!”

Typical Irishness. Focus more on the questions being asked by a journo rather than trying to understand why we continue to produce technically limited footballers.

Typical Irish journalist, trying to make it all about him.
No - that was addressed in the match thread you clown. Imagine focusing on Tony O’Donoghue in a thread about Tony O’Donoghue 
Population, historically very poor domestic coaching structures & leagues, and competition from other sports at underage level, combined with top English clubs no longer relying on Ireland as a source for talent.

Ireland’s problems begin and end with the FAI.
Soccer is not taken seriously in this country. It’s just another event opportunity.
Anything on a list that attempts to excuse a lack of basic skills amongst elite players is Just another excuse for not being capable of taking it seriously.

And Sheffield Wednesday too.
After the humiliation of last night the Eire footballers would be far better advised to keep the heads down and mouths shut rather than issuing vacuous statements.
