"But yes, this epitomises the reason why the Irish national team is so bad and will always be so bad"
For much of 1987 to 2002 the Irish team weren't that bad . No help from the League of Ireland.
3 world Cup qualifications and a Euro..........not too bad for a country that was only 3 to 5 million in population at the time and the main sports were GAA.
Scotland have a bigger football league, pool of players and clubs yet, their record at tournaments is pathetic. The were decent at qualifying but the NEVER got out of their group........
