We have qualified a few times now for finals and I think the public want to see us do it with some good football now.
We've qualified for ONE tournament in 12 years.
played three, won one, lost two, scored none

You don't say!! Really?

88 and 90 were superb, starting point of the tiger, Ireland had arrived as a nation, great fun, travelling the world making friends. It was much bigger than just football. Dunphy was the note of caution  in terms of the knobs attaching themselves to football and the style not achieving our potential. He got destroyed by those same knobs who were too busy enjoying the party and agreement from the football folk who saw it for what it was. Charlton was a lucky manager who rode his luck with an FAI who couldn't stand up to him, and fair play to him.
