Mick is a pundit on Virgin Media Sport

Eire won one game at the 2002 World Cup against Saudi Arabia and exited in the last 16. The Eire soccer types think if Keane didnā€™t stomp off home to walk the dog, Eire could have won that World Cup. Bless them.

Yes he knocks out 25k a year at that gig. He is out of work as a football manager.

Thereā€™s always McCarthys Pub back in Tallow to fall back on.

England soccer types thinking if the greatest player that ever played the game didnā€™t handle a ball in '86, theyā€™d have won that World Cup.

No mention of the little genius walking all over ye then to score the greatest individual goal at a World Cup and England defenders falling like dying wasps in winter all around him.

Huh? Who said anything about winning the world cup?

They exited it on a system you deem a lottery. I donā€™t think you appreciate the intricacies of knockout football.

Argentina reached the World Cup final in 2014 by virtue of scoring 1 goal in regulation time in the knockout stages.

Ah lads. A fucking dinosaur. Jokeshop.

Exactly what Irelandā€™s shit footballers need.

The more I think about the appointing McCarthy as manager the more I think itā€™s a sideways step. Kenny is the right appointment. Delaney messing up again

if he can consolidate the Eire team in division C of the scummy soccer friendly leagues it will be money well spent

A shit manager?

Nope, a manager who gets the optimum out of shit players.

Or allowing Ian Harte, who was clearly low on confidence throughout the tournament, take the first penalty in normal time. Robbie was the hot hand.
