Don’t write off Martin O’Neill after one freak occurrence

Who say that Martin O’Neill’s way with the national team was just trouble waiting to happen. Who compose their faces into that ‘told-you-so’ look, nod solemnly, and insist that the 5-1 thrashing by Denmark merely confirmed what they had always said would transpire: Sooner or later, our luck wouldn’t hold and we would be found out.
Fair play to them: I presume they are easing the pain by forming an orderly queue at the bookies as we speak.
