In this issue is an interview with Jack Chartlton and load of fans rants and other stuff.
We asked Jack what was his fondest memory while in charge of Ireland. Of course I was waiting to hear something like Houghton's goal v England or the Giants Staium, but no, Jack says: "Waiting to get on a plane in Malta. Somebody came in with a paper and that weekend there was more alcohol drunk in Malta than there had been the whole of the summer (que laughter). One weekend, I enjoyed the Irish fans, I liked the way they went away. They wanted a result but if they didn’t get it they would still have the craic and the signing in the pub."
Of all the great days in the Charlton era this was his fondest moment!!!
Anyone reccomend some good football pubs we can hit over the next couple of days?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

lads ye're bumping up the wrong fanzine ;) :D
Looking forward to reading about Terry Dixon. Did ye get an interview with the young lad?
Didn't talk to terry, it was one of the last ones we did so it was very tight on time.
it's more a feature on his backround.
it also takes a look at the fai's technical development plan. this plan was meant to be a pathway for young players coming through from the kennedy Cup (U14).
But like terry, all the scouting resources have gone into players abroad. we are overlooking our home grown talent.
We don't question terry's commitment to Ireland. we just dont want a repeat of an un-named underage capped player stating he was only using ireland as a spring board to get an england call up.

Ye, i think the fai pulled off a bit of a coup getting him to play underage for us, and this is what we look at in the article. why dont they concentrate on the development plan instead of using their resources on people like dixon who could very well turn their back on us later on for England etc.
Hopefully he will stay with Ireland, but if his dad is trying to get him to play for England, well Dads are always a big influence
He has an Irish mammy. They call the shots. :DQuote:

The cover had some line like "Read what the real fans have to say." As if we were to be educated by fans who were superior to us. :rolleyes:Quote:

I thought it was good. There was much more content than the previous issue (there was a bit of padding in that, e.g. a page Gordan Strachan quotes lifted off the internet). This issue had a lot of opinion which is what you want.Quote:
