Sometimes you have to go where the money is. Moving up to Derry from Dublin would have been a transition from Dublin life. A year in Scotland in-between each Derry spell as well.

Is Eoin his oldest child?

He first went to Derry in his early 30s, not in his early 50s. Difference.

52 isn't that old in modern times. People work past 66 now in some cases.

If you had said Australia or The Middle East, maybe. But England is only across the road.

It all depends on the age of his children, really.

The EURO 2024 play-offs are tonight. What a damming indictment of Stephen Kenny’s reign that Ireland aren’t in them, but the likes of Israel, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Luxembourg are.

Israel are in because they were lucky enough to be in Russia's group and the latter 3 are in because they are League C teams. We actually needed Kenny to do worse in Nations League rather than better LOL

It does show the importance of individual results though. If we had even drawn away in Armenia rather than lost we'd have a playoff away to Israel tonight.

Nah. We will keep getting brutal qualifying groups if we don't improve our FIFA/UEFA ranking.

What if he/she got 625 points? NASA would be lucky.
