No, it all goes back to the likes of Carr deciding he's 'retiring' only to reappear when stan got the job.

Here is his quote at the time "I'll be 34 the next time the World Cup comes around and at that stage of my career I wouldn't feel as though I could do myself or Ireland justice in the competition should we get through."
