According to Wiki:
"Horn Head House, or Landlord's House as it is locally known, stands on the Sheephaven Bay side of Horn Head."

Seeing as Martin lives in England, would that make him an absentee landlord?

Or might he just be thought finally to be re-possessing from Plamters what was rightfully Gaels' land in the first place?

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"

He's right though.

Northern Nationalists are considered as outsides from a selective Free Staters.

Maybe being a bollox in every interview didn't endear him to anyone....just a notion.

You might be right there but that doesnt mean that MON isnt very annoying.

Being annoying in interviews isn't of much importance though is it ? 

All things considered, he got some of the best results and gave us some of the best nights of any manager we had.

He deserves respect.
l hear you are a racist now, father ?

And yet you use a term like ‘Free Staters.’

And he had it.

Until he threw it away by being a complete pr*ck in interviews, presiding over some shocking results and performances, and letting our camps descend into farce where players and management were fighting with each other. 

If he left after the Denmark game, which is when his reign was over in spirit - there was no coming back from that - then he would be remembered far more fondly. Its everything that he did after that tarnished his legacy.

MON did come across as bitter in interviews and should have hit the road after the 5-1 debacle.

In saying that, he gave us some of our best nights - Germany, Italy, Bosnia, Austria & Wales were all big scalps and that will never be forgotten. It all went a bit stale towards the end in similar fashion to Trap. Quit while you're ahead! 2018 was the grimmest year for Irish football Ouch

This is the same MON that said 

“Ideally it would be fantastic if every single player playing for us came from Leinster, Munster and Connacht.

“That would be really great but in this day and age that’s not happening so if we have to look slightly further afield for players we think might improve our team . . . everyone else is doing it so I might as well.”

--

He's right about how plenty of media types in the south perceive people from the north but imo he wears whatever hat suits him in particular situations. it's easy for him to zone in on this as a reason for his criticism rather than doing any sort of self reflection

100%, I agree that some people were quick to forget what he achieved before it all went so horribly pear-shaped

Read a bit from his book.  It reads a like a nordy Alan Patridge.  

Germany game I had the idea to put O Shea up front and we equalised following my decision.  

Germany home and I brought Shane long on and he scored and we won after my decision.  

Needless to say I had the last laugh.

Did he say in the book how he was disappointed he didn't get a few months off after that Germany win to gloat about it?
