That was Thomas Butler, he played for the U-21s the night before the Swiss beat us 2-1 to end Mick McCarthy's reign. He brought Butler on late in the game.Quote:

I remember when he came on, someone played a decent long ball to him, he showed a really good burst of pace and a decent touch on the chest to control and go through a (massive) gap, meanwhile Shane Long made a great run down the right, a half decent ball and he would have been clear through, Lapira keeps the head down, pelting it forward, full speed...and balloons the ball 60 yards forward straight into the crowd. I think Long just turned around with his hands on his hips and allowed himself a wry smile. I was in hysterics. Nearly fell off the couch laughing. Ireland's very own Ali Dia.
