So Dan has exiled himself to Mother Russia for the World Cup exactly 44 years ago to the day when we had the biggest break up in pop history. Yes, that was the day Cher finally said Noka to Sonny and ran off with an Allman brother. The Herald’s Aidan Fitzmaurice may not be a master of that swampy southern sound but he speaks fluent Russian and Polish so he’s exactly the kind of squad depth you need to get through a World Cup, especially in this confounded heat! Yes, this week we get all pessimistic about the clubs chances in Europe, we look forward to the big one between Dundalk and Cork with a surprise caller from the dugout, those darn Saudis get a mention again, and there’s the usual predictions and analysis. So while they keep on saying we’re young and we don’t know, we kinda do…..Babe!
