Episode 1564: Retro Ireland, Finding Joy And Happiness, Roy’s Soul, Damien Delaney On The Way Forward

Ireland have not yet streaked away in the race for Euro 2020 qualification but David McGoldrick’s late equaliser means we are at least still alive. And that’s not nothing…

David Sneyd and Dion Fanning join us in studio to talk about the game. Are there any reasons to be happy apart from the simple joy of being alive? Can we move away from our retro style of play? And how are we so porous in midfield, and so good when we go behind?

Like old times, not all of it good. Ireland’s spirit came through and that’s not to be sniffed at but better teams will make them pay. https://t.co/MWL4FwQEAc

We also discuss Roy Keane’s comments about Jon Walters, Manchester United, Fergie, Fergie’s son, Saipan and other gripes. Ken reveals why he has started to feel sorry for his one-time hero.

We talk to Damien Delaney about the way forward from here. Damien thinks we need to establish an identity and he doesn’t see it happening yet. Is there anything we could do before the end of this campaign that could make a difference?
