'Irish team better than NI' - Healy
Well, well, well, it seems like some NI fans are going to have to dig in to some long overdue humble pie!
It turns out their golden boy David Healy actually has the same view on the team as myself, namely that the NI team are, despite what the world rankings say, still lagging way behind the Irish team in terms of skill and quality...
"No doubt we've come a long way in a short space of time but I think we all acknowledge that we've got some way to go before we can claim to be in the same league as the Republic's team for example."
Hear, hear! Finally some common sense from that lot for once! Here's hoping the NI fans, who have been happy to talk up their recent run of results of late, will reflect on David Healy's wise words. You're not as good as you think you are!
