Does that mean that Martin O'Neill, from Kilrea, should have been in the BBC studio during their coverage of Super Bowl 50 as a pundit?
Absolutely yes.
What followed from O'Neill was superb. His headphones kept falling down his face. He revealed the whole Irish squad were at the game as a treat. He even compared Cam Newton to Roy Keane.
Keane himself travelled with O'Neill with the latter admitting his assistant manager was too shy to go on air.
They did, however, enjoy some time in Johnny Foley's Dueling Piano Bar where they posed for photos with some Irish folk.
