The majority of Irish footballers relied on skill, Blanchflower, McIroy,
Best,Duff, Eglington,and numerous others, I don`t doubt Roy Keanes ability as player, but he was undoubtely a thug.
I noticed a dive by Gerrard for England`s penalty, never a mention from the one-eyed TV commentator Jogn Motson, he of course mentioned the Hungarian goalkeepers movement before he saved the penalty, Terry Butcher the former England player castigated Gerrard for the dive.
Motson is one very good reason we are thankful for having Irish TV for the World Cup.
