It's the last thing the team needs, particularly when they're in a bit of turmoil and they're striving to try and make knockout stages of Europe.

And like I said a few weeks ago, they win the four games, the next three games.

They won one of the four.

They win the next three, which is...

not out of the question it's going to be very difficult but they could have a home quarter final you know there's a lot to play for yet even though it's been a very very very disappointing season so far Fiona is there lasting reputational damage from Munster following this week and the appointment of Randall

It's been really good.

It's not easy for a new manager to come in and stamp his authority, especially, I suppose, the limited time he's had with you so far, but how does he want you to play and, I suppose, how have you been reacting to that?

He had very high words to say of you when I spoke to him on his first day.

What have the conversations been with him like?

Well, he obviously said you were going nowhere.

There was a lot of talk about you in the press.

There was a lot of speculation with Shamrock Rovers.

How far did those discussions go?

Did you meet with Shamrock Rovers?

your loyalty to Cork City is admirable but like when you hear Shamrock Rovers are interested double winners they're playing in Europe you must have had a serious think about it I could be playing in Europe next year

And as you said, pressure.

You said the word pressure a couple of times.

There is pressure on you to go straight back up for the first time in basketball this year.

And look, first game Friday, Treaty United are at home, a huge crowd would help, and getting those crowds back in for the rest of the games of the season is going to be a huge help.
