    He has already given an interview about all this but on radio. Sometime during the summer I think. Might still be a download link on the RTE site of it.

    good spot! i hope eddie has something to say about dricos recent comments on mariane finucane ,i think it was, about the preparations for the RWC.
    I'm hoping this one is a controversial one:D
    Anyone know who the interviewer is?

    He was interviewed by Eamon Dunphy back in April. Not sure if that's the one you're referring to.

    He talks a good game, I'll give him that. This should be worth a watch.

    Dear sweet jesus it is worse than I could have ever imagined, make it stop. :eek:

    getting the impression that he would do it all the exact same way all over again. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,198 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    Oh he's completely unrepentant about his mistakes, but at least there's a bit less round talk than normal. He's being reasonably honest and blunt actually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz


    Any actual revelations, or is he just patting himself on the back a bit?

    I still find him quite a likeable as a person, however I am disappointed that he does not seem to have learnt any lessons from the experience of the RWC. Perhaps privately he has different thoughts on the matter, but it ain't showing tonight.

    Not really, maybe about the lions tour. In general on the defensive basically, justifing everthing from using only 15 players, to the Murphy affair. Reasonably tough questions from the interviewer in fairness, but perhaps not condusive to more open dialog..

    Picture an extended post match interview with comfier chairs and you are 95% there.

    Glad I didn't move the two feet to the sofa to watch this then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,198 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    and fancy lemon water

    I got bored and watched the end of Underworld instead. Much more satisfying altogether.

    I actually though there were a few interesting things, mainly for me the lack of input from players. When asked whether players ever confronted him u got the impression Keith Wood was the only one who ever voiced an opinion, Mike Galway was prob the only other name he didn't hav to hav a little think about.
