Apart from the Dunphy's in the country, nobody cared much about how good the games were under Jack. The country would be one big ghosttown during the games. Workplaces would shut, schools would close for lunchtime kick offs, and kick and rush football didn't matter a jot as long as the desired result was got. These days Dunphy still moans, and he's not the only one. The only difference is, the desired result doesn't often come about and consequently there's a lot more to moan about. 


Jackie's Army were the best times following The EIRE.   He was a great character.  The football looking back was prehistoric but it wasn't that unusual for the time. England under Taylor were attrocious to watch. Pitches were terrible back then, the backpass rule meant keepers used to punt the ball up the pitch a lot and it was a less sophisticated time so we didn't stand out that much.  I remember honestly expecting The EIRE to beat whoever we were playing.
Good to see you back TJ , where have you been ?

When you look at some of the "classic games" Tg4 and eir have chosen to show it comes as no surprise people have a poor opinion of the national team.
Some of the games chosen are absolutely horrendous watches. Some good dogged results but christ not something you sit through 90 mins of again.

Already this is more watchable than the England game.  Good opening goal from Gullit.

Ireland had a disallowed goal for offside.

Really good response from Ireland since the goal.  Possible penalty shout too.

Why?  Is that where they know the score of the England game and deliberately play out for a draw?

Got train from Palermo back to Cefalu then party all night. A few Dutch about. I always think they the closest to us as fans and party. Usually no messing just sing song and party. Even after beating them in Landsdowne Road some came up to us and said well done you deserve it.

Did George Hamilton not have co commentator throughout the entire World Cup?

Co-commentators are one of the things that destroyed proper commentary. It's fine when the additional commentators, or analysts or whatever,  have something insightful to say, but most of the time they add absolutely nothing and stop the commentator from getting a flow.
