How is it bizarre? Because they didnt mention Man Yoo?

Driving up from Kerry this morning and Brendan O Connor (the cunt) had a rake of guests on telling stories about The Charlton Years. It was very enjoyable. Two main Highlights were Mick Byrne saying Ireland āupset the apple tartā when they beat England. The second one was Dunphy describing the Footage of renowned Mayo author and journalist John Healy bursting into tears when O Leary scored the penalty. Dunphy described it beautifully. I found it very moving and had tears in my eyes driving past The Midway in Portlaoise. I told Mrs Barnes it was hayfever when she axed me.
Class
I was at the first two home games under Jack Charlton. After them, it was hard to imagine the heights Irish soccer would get to. Wales and Uruguay. If I had to guess a 0-0 draw and a 1-0 win but I must look it up. The jury was definitely out anyway.
Dunphy ranting and throwing the pen after the 0-0 against Egypt, he was a major critic of Charlton.
Think we lost to wales
Pity we didnāt meet up. Iām in dingle.
Iād say heās distraught
It was funny as well when John Giles misheard Brendan OāConnor and thought he said that he didnāt respect Jack Charlton when he actually meant that for Dunphy, and Giles was pure thick as fuck cutting across him for the next two minutes
I doubt thereās anybody as fun to go on the pints with as me except for Funtime of course.
Dunphy didnāt try and rewrite history in fairness. He spoke about it honestly enough and had lots of nice things to say about Charlton the man.
Nah Whelan was definitely a big player in the Italia 90 qualifiers but he got injured at the end of that season and wasnāt fit enough to play presumably.
McGrath was moving around between full back, centre back and centre mid and Whelan played full back too. Just not sure what a first choice team would have been if all the big names were fit.
Iām guessing
Bonner
McGrath Moran McCarthy Staunton
Houghton Townsend Whelan Sheedy
Aldridge Cascarino/Quinn
So Chris Morris losing out. But I donāt know.
Morris was a lot better than Whelan.id have him in midfield
Was Townsend really a cert?
100%. Jack loved him. He was box to box and would leave one on you
