If you didn't see it last night, I'd recommend you find it on the RTE player and watch it. A brilliant 30 minutes. I'm not sure which was funnier - the "ads" in between the "programme" or the commentary during the programme itself. For those of us who are old enough remember the original Kerrygold Ad at that time..... "you could put a bit of butter on the spuds...." this was comedy gold!! It made me smile anyway!

Yeah, Des Cahill beating up the OLE OLE brigade in Genoa when trying to do the interview was pure class. I thought it absolutely hammed, up in the best sense, the crazy time that was Italia 90 - you couldn't go to work without some chorus of OLE OLE breaking out. the oul wan in Moore St getting the bangers out of her skirt..... The constant reference to RTE2/Network 2/whatever we're called...brilliant!

It was decent enough. A good concept, stretched a little bit thin at times. It probably works best if you remember the era well, so I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy the next episode as it's based on Ireland v Russia in the mid 70s.
They couldn't just go on doing 5 minute sketches after games in major tournaments, even they were running out of steam. So this was a good thing to try.

I liked bits of it, particularly the ads from the early 90s. A lot of which they didn't really have to do much with anyway as most are hilariously bad anyway. Some of it stretched thin and I can see it deteriorating as the season goes on. They work best with the witty one liner after a match.

The Ads were utterly brilliant (but they have done a bit of this before with their take on Sellotanta sports, albeit from a more modern era- Ads you only see on Setanta- Wavin Pipe & Magee Suits).
The sketches were not particularly funny, even though they were deadly accurate for anyone who can remember bunches of idiots ole, ole' ing in every pub and interviews with any kind of fella with tenuous connections to the team such as 'Mick McCarthy' that was not the real Mick McCarthy etc.
The thing is, tis a bit late to be mocking all that now, and for someone too young to remember some of the inanity that was peddled by the news/RTE at the time, well they just won't see what's funny about it in the least in the first place.
I did laugh at the Michael Murphy newsreader sketch though, they got him to almost perfection.

True though they had some outstanding players in Brady, Stapleton, O'Leary, Lawrenson, Whelan and Hughton too.
It was a disaster they didn't qualify in 1982. We would have had our Italia 90 right there, eight years early.

For me, that was the standout game in Republic of Ireland history outside of tournaments......it was the best performance in a home qualifier and the greatest occasion.
To not qualify was just cruel. The team came of age that autumn and would have been a match for anyone.

Beglin had just broken his leg which is why Whelan played left-full. Then we lost Lawrenson and Brady before Euro88. Imagine what we could have achieved with those 3 in the team.

That team v Scotland was played twice in that group I think The team was that strong that Whelan and McGrath were played as full backs to accommodate our best 11 players. Jack had some team back then with a team of leaders . Pretty much any could have captained the team. Was that lawrensons last competitive game ? I think he played in the friendly v Tunisa when David Kelly got a hatrick

Yes Lawro was captain that night in Dalyer when Kelly got a hat-trick and proved to be his last game.

The Azteca pitch was so slow and bobbly. I discussed this topic in a previous thread where I went into detail on the grass at the Azteca Stadium. But feel free to ask any pitch or stanchion related questions regarding the 1986 World Cup or subscribe to my website www.trapjuniorsaztecadiscusssion86.com for all the analysis of topics grass related.

Quality tonight. Maradona to Maradona to Maradona etc! Hill and Venables. Tony Francis's jacket on ITV.
Not to mention the bit with the RTE commentary and the BBC pictures.
