Mick McCarthy won’t stop talking about the same thing during Ireland game

Mick McCarthy gave us some of our best moments supporting Ireland.

2002 was iconic. Beating Holland along the way, historic. Losing to Spain on penalties after completely outplaying them in the knockout rounds, heart-warming and never to be forgotten. And don't get me wrong, McCarthy will use his back catalogue at will to show off his credentials whilst covering a live Ireland game but, for some reason, during the Finland Nations League match, he has found himself caught up with a very meek result. 23rd of March, 2019. Who could forget it? Gibraltar 0-1 Ireland Mick McCarthy seems really proud of it, if his constant references to it are anything to go by. During his first game on his return as Ireland manager, a 49th minute Jeff Hendrick goal was all that the Irish mustered in a very underwhelming opening to an even more underwhelming campaign. McCarthy remembers it well though. Jeff Hendrick looks forward, he remembers his goal in Gibraltar. Darren Randolph makes a save, he remembers the save in Gibraltar that spared their blushes. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1316413552245321730 And it's very much something that a lot of people noticed. https://twitter.com/StevenDunegal/status/1316413227106959360 This is a very dangerous idea. https://twitter.com/MarkMcCormack5/status/1316412790651973634 No messing about. https://twitter.com/TheBoomtownRat/status/1316409252735524867 Podcast? https://twitter.com/seanryan12/status/1316412918301327364 And, incredibly, it wasn't even his best result over Gibraltar. Imagine that? https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1316415002308423680 But if you want to relive that unbelievable night in Gibraltar - if you haven't already done so today - knock yourself out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub3NjMq0Lzg&feature=onebox
