Back by popular demand! This week our boys talk about Mick McCarthy and the Republic's failed efforts to qualify for the 1998 World Cup. Listen as we discuss the FAI's refusal to back McCarthy's appointment, learn why Ireland fans booed Roy Keane and discover the Irish players that time has forgotten. Was this a glorious period? Not at all. Was it exciting? You can bet your ass it was! Cast your minds back to a second-place finish, a lacklustre play-off against Belgium and a time when the Irish media criticised the manager (who could imagine such a thing happening now?)
