Ben Symes

I'm delighted for Bosnia and I'm looking at the scenes of Bosnia and Herzegovina qualifying and the streets of Sarajevo and Zenica being absolutely flooded.

And right after I finished it, it just popped up in my YouTube recommendations.

Ireland versus Slovakia playoff from a few years ago.

Don't do it to yourself, Ben.

No, I did, right?

Oh, you got it.

I watched the highlights.

No, no, no.

It's the complete opposite.

I watched the highlights and I remember back to that night and that was obviously during COVID in Bratislava so I was at home and I watched that game and I finished and I went for a very long walk after that game a very very long walk and it was freezing cold and it was pitch black and I ended up walking on the beach and I was like

It's so over.

I was like, this is so over.

We were on the cusp of qualifying for Euros.

Where are we going to go with the future here?

Where is this team going?

Dave McGoldrick was our best player in the park that night and it looks like his career is kind of winding down.

I know he's still playing club, but it ended up being the end of his fantastic career.

And it was like, where are we really going to go from here?

And there is no sense of that feeling after this game.

No, that's a great way to put it.
