Tonight was the toughest match commentary I’ve ever done following the death of my beloved sister Rona last night. As an Arsenal season ticket holder (she lived in Highbury), she appreciated the importance of big European nights. I’ll miss you Ro beyond words. ♥️

The FAI risk losing a lot of goodwill from Irish fans if they overreact to a 3 min motivational vid that featured 2'30" of Irish goals v Eng through the years + 30" of historical context on what victory over England means to Irish fans. Euro 88 win still one of my fav days ever.

I think Didi is wrong to say the fans support SK coz he’s a LOI man. ( sadly many fans don’t care about the LOI). They stuck with him because Ireland are playing football again and the transition was always going to take time to settle down.

Lorraine’s dad was a butcher in Castlebar. One day he went to a bar across the road from his shop after work. Met a big American at the bar, got chatting & told him he was a butcher. Lad at bar said his name was Meatloaf. Lor’s dad thought he was taking the mick. It was Meatloaf

not sure it’s fair on S.Kenny to have Mick doing co-comms. In this instance the predecessor is always going to have a slight agenda to defend how he set the team up to play. Not a criticism of Mick who’s a fine co comm but this circumstance puts him in an awkward position.
