    Mayler was sent off for Hull against Norwich earlier after picking up two bookings. The second booking was ridiculously soft. Video here: https://twitter.com/HCAFCHighlights/...22188204466176

    Meyler leaving Hull City https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2018...ing-hull-city/ In and out of a struggling side this season which isn't great. Not sure who will be interested in him. Possibly one of the promoted sides like Wigan or Blackburn.

    Reading move was a disaster for both parties, not sure what went wrong exactly but he was somewhat derided by the fans there. Hopefully he can go again somewhere else, probably looking at League 1, League 2 or Scotland now.

    He's had a tough time in his personal life for the last couple of years - which wouldn't have been easy.

    Hopefully he can get his career back on track. He was superb that night in Cardiff until he picked up a silly booking at the end.

    One of those . How good could he have been if he did not have that very serious injury when a young player . We’ll never know .

    Best of luck to the lad . He could still have a very useful contribution to make to Irish Sport with all his experience .

    Extract from his upcoming book on the42 today: https://www.the42.ie/david-and-john-...68726-Oct2021/
    With the criticism that O'Neill used to get for not naming the team until just before that game, I thought the last sentences here was interesting
    THE PENNANT NEXT to my jersey was the giveaway. I arrived into the dressing-room 90 minutes before kick-off against Moldova, on a Friday night in October 2017. The Irish kit lads had all our gear laid out as usual. When I saw the extra item next to mine, the realisation hit me. I’m captain tonight.
    Jon Walters had been deputising for Seamus, but he was out injured. It was a stroke of genius not to let me know in advance. Instead, I had no time to become distracted about being Irish captain for a World Cup qualifier. Martin was good at that, in keeping everyone focused on the game. His tactic of delaying team announcements was criticised but it gave everybody a chance to stake a claim to start and helped keep players switched on.

    It also gave those not selected less time to sulk.

    Clearly O’Neill has had a lot of success in the game, and he proved in the lead up and during Euro 2016 that he could still be a very good manager. At some point the shine came off and he was probably unfairly labelled a dinosaur. He probably hasn’t done anything since to silence the critics but perhaps the game has moved on.

    When he was let go I didn’t object but the O’Neill era was one of the best in my time following Ireland.

    In hindsight, he stayed on for one campaign too many, like a lot of managers,

    It was evident that his time was done after the play off loss, nothing personal but was just a regime that had come to its natural conclusion but instead we kept him on for another year for some brain dead idea and I still believe this decision played a big roll in us not qualifying for the Euros.

    Biggest mistake he made was not trying to change how we played when Murphy retired and Walters was finished. Even Wes retiring had an affect on him as we lost a player that could make something happen creatively at times.

    September 2018 was the nail in the coffin that finished him. We had been trying 3-5-2 in some friendlies and Callum O'Dowda had even been moved into midfield to be an attacking midfielder for us. But once we went into the first competitive game of that year against Wales it was 4-4-2 with a clearly finished Jonathan Walters who was like Bambi on ice that night. We made Wales look like Brazil that night and the WhatsApp video from Stephen Ward was released at the same time.
