“My relationship with the press in Ireland is not good at the best of times, with any poor result it can only worsen and constant critical reproof can be draining.

“I feel I have been viewed as an outsider. Early on I told Roy that I thought the press thought of me as an interloper and occasionally I was being referred to as ‘The Northerner’ by the media – he didn’t agree with me. But more recently he’s come round to my viewpoint.” Martin O’Neill, On Days Like These - 2022
