Yeah, you look thirsty.
and now let me on I think the only other thing that came to mind that Dennis I think it was Dennis said or Steve said oh he said the other thing I tell you guys he ran over to take a throw in amongst a whole bank of Irish fans and everyone just roared and all you could get was the smell of beer
Is there a sort of trace of disappointment for you guys that Ireland didn't get a bit further?
Obviously got out of the group stages with a set of results that I don't think you would have particularly predicted.
And then fell against... Holland are a really good side, but maybe...
not quite as good an account as you could have given of yourselves.
We made a few serious mistakes.
I think at that stage, like I said, I think 92 would have been that team's peak.
In 94, we were still formidable and we'd beaten Italy, but we didn't have the biggest depth of squad.
Jack really stuck with the same 11 bar suspensions.
And I don't think that helped as well because of the climate.
I think Jack was a bit stubborn in his team selection that he may have, in hindsight, tweaked the team a bit more.
Admittedly, modern football, you tweak the team an awful lot more these days anyway.
But I think Jack was a little bit too stubborn
We went out with a whimper against the Dutch.
Again, it was Orlando, but it wasn't nearly as warm as the Mexico game.
So the climate was a lot cooler that day.
We didn't turn up really.
