Sorry sir. Funny thing is you've mentioned it a few times before too. I'm a bit of a pedant too so point learnt, until I forget it again.

My bugbear is "neither did their cause any good" whereas each, every , either , neither, none all require a singular such as "neither did his cause any good".

As for Mick's early results, I remember thinking the 2-2 home friendly draw with Croatia was like winning the World Cup.

Ya i remember being at that game - Keith O'Neill scored the equaliser to make it 2-2 i think??. To be fair to Mick, he used all those early friendlies to have a look at new players and formations and he realised that was more NB than the actual results. Although it took him the whole '98 campaign to realise Ian Harte is sh*t at centre half

God yeah, I remember Sean McCarthy now alright. I think Staunton missed a penalty against Russia but again, maybe age is catching up on me.

There is talk of us playing Brazil in a friendly. Anyone else heard anything on this?

I heard it won't happen because the GAA won't release Croke Park for a friendly in 2007, the FAI aren't going to challenge them because they have 2 friendlies organised in the States this summer, and the papers only ran with it because there's nothing else to write about the FAI since Staunton earned a stay of execution after the 2 home wins over Wales and Slovakia
