Gavin joins Sinéad from Yerevan ahead of this evening’s must-win World Cup qualifier vs Armenia. If the Boys in Green claim three points, can a generation of Irish fans who missed out on Italia 90 and Saipan dare to dream of seeing their nation on the biggest stage?
Sinéad and Gav discuss their mixed emotions following Ireland’s 2-2 draw vs Hungary last weekend and draw comparisons between Heimir Hallgrímsson and previous Irish managers Jack Charlton and Vera Pauw.
The duo analyse Ireland’s lack of a sport psychologist due to the FAI’s financial struggles, and the negative impact this can have on elite athletes competing at the highest level. Reports of imminent redundancies within the association are also addressed.
Finally, Gav reflects on Rory McIlroy’s stunning dramatic Irish open win, and how he missed all of the drama while en route to Armenia.
