COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN... COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN .... COME ON YOU BOYS ... COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN!

Get on board, the Boys are on their way to the last 16 of the 2002 World Cup. Join Conor and Johnny this week as they discuss the Republic's last group match of the 2002 World Cup. For the first time in history, the Boys hold their fate in their own hands at a major tournament. If we win, we go through. What could go wrong? Well, Mullingar is courting  Bin Laden's brother, Jason McAteer is threatening to go home and Eamonn Dunphy has been suspended from RTE. Sigh... some day we'll have a boring and normal World Cup. But not today baby... not today!!

Join Conor and Johnny as they discuss one of Ireland's greatest ever World Cup victories... the 1-1 draw with Germany on 5 June 2002. There's only one Keano now baby! Robbie Keane goal machine saves the Republic against Germany and sets Ireland on course for the good times. Listen as we detail dodgy match commentary, Eamonn Dunphy's about-face and  the pace problems of some Irish defenders. Oh there was also the matter about the Junior and Leaving Cert being on the same day Ireland took on Germany. Boo urns!

Join Conor and Johnny as they dust off the Christmas hangovers to discuss Ireland's first group match at the 2002 World Cup. Daddy Roy has gone home to Ireland and Mick's men are seeking... nay SCRAMBLING to make a good impression on the world stage. In their way stand Cameroon - that year's African Nations Cup Champions and the winners of the 2000 Olympics in football. It's not an easy task and, as our boys discuss, we get very lucky in the first half! Learn about the pacy strikers, the injury prone midfielders and the surprisingly good will of the English commentators. Oh and Eamonn Dunphy makes some bold fashion choices...

I've got to get the water to the lads!

Join Conor and Johnny as they discuss the Boys in Green at the 1994 World Cup in the United States of America (USA, USA, USA!). Was this a stellar performance from our boys? Yes and no. We got some great moments, and even better stories but, being honest, this was very much a last hurrah for Charlton's army. Here our boys discuss the highs, and lows, of Ireland's World Cup outing.

Have a suggestion for a player or moment?

Join Conor and Johnny as they discuss the immediate aftermath of the Saipan saga. Daddy Roy has gone home to Ireland and the country is losing the run of itself. There's protests outside the FAI headquarters, bishops calling for a resolution and people camping out at Cork airport. Good times eh? Oh there's also the small matter of an underwhelming pre-tournament friendly which injures several players and an upcoming World Cup game against Cameroon for Mick McCarthy et al. to prepare for. Pressure? Pressures for tires!

Join Conor and Johnny for part two on the most tumultuous episode in Irish sport history - Roy Keane storming out of the Irish set up on the eve of the 2002 World Cup. Here we talk about RTE tell all interviews, official reports into the FAI's shenanigans, and a definitive conclusion on who was to blame (okay maybe not...)  We use biographies, World Cup diaries and newspaper articles to chronicle a bizarre moment in Irish history. Join us next week for part two (honestly we could have spent weeks on this so two parts is doing well!)

Join Conor and Johnny this week as they discuss the most tumultuous episode in Irish sport history - Roy Keane storming out of the Irish set up on the eve of the 2002 World Cup. Here we talk about dodgy training facilities, journalists swooping each other's stories, dressing downs from player to manager and oh so much more. It's all one great big shame really isn't it? We use biographies, World Cup diaries and newspaper articles to chronicle a bizarre moment in Irish history. Join us next week for part two (honestly we could have spent weeks on this so two parts is doing well!)

Join Conor and Johnny this week as they discuss the long history of the 2002 Saipan saga. Unlike other outlets (cough cough) we begin with Keane's early career with the Republic of Ireland and show just how bloody troublesome his interactions with the FAI had been. Insult your captain in 1992? Check! Blamed for a training ground spat? Check! Playing under a Manager you fundamentally don't respect? Check, check, check!  We use newspaper archives, World Cup diaries and some tasty autobiographies for you to enjoy. Next week... the first 48 hours after Saipan

There's too many Irishmen in the Premier League ... Send Helps! Man United have won the League and Leeds have gotten to the semi finals of the Champions League with Irish players playing a pivotal role in both campaigns. It's good to be the king eh?  Yes yes, join Conor and Johnny this week as they discuss the 2000/2001 season. World Cup 2002 is on the horizon, players are trying to play themselves into contention, or at least give themselves a shout. Unlikely Irish players make the team of the season, some are robbed and Conor's ongoing love affair with Gary Doherty (a top ranking Irishman this season) ever deepens.
