Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Mo Michael O'Neill, ko te mahi i raro i a Gordon Strachan i te rerenga teitei o Ingarangi he wheako reka-pango. I te mea, i Coventry City, i kitea e te kaitakawaenga te wheako o te mea he kaitakaro iti ake ki te kaiwhakahaere i roto i ona 40s wawe e pā ana ki rite palatable rite Strachan's rongonui roa-te ora pūngao concoction o porridge, panana me te moana. Mēnā kāore i tino kitea te whara o O'Neill i Highfield Road i roto i tana mahi angitu, ka mau tonu te mana o Ireland ki te Raki ki tana hoa Scotland, me te tumanako ka taea e te tokorua te angitu i te ao ao. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o Ireland ki te Raki a Michael O'Neill e whakarite ana i tana kapa ki te aro atu ki a Gordon Strachan's Scotland. E tūmanako ana te kapa o Strachan kia eke ki te whakataetae tohu Euro 2016 ki a Gibraltar mā te wikitōria. Kaore a Scotland i eke ki tetahi whakataetae nui mai i France 98, i te mea kaore a Northern Ireland i kitea i te Whakamutunga mai i nga ra i eke ai a Josimar o Brazil ki tetahi o nga whaainga nui o te Ipu o te Ao i mua o Pat Jennings. Engari i runga i te huarahi ki France 2016, ko Scotland te tuatoru i te Rōpū D, i te mea ko Ireland ki te Raki te tuarua i te Rōpū F. I te mea e rua nga iwi e tu ana i te hoa i Hampden, e tumanako ana a O<unk>Neill ka taea e nga tangata e rua te arahi i o raatau whenua mai i te koraha o te ao. "I tākaro au i raro i a Gordon i Coventry" "He āwangawanga tonu ina he kaitākaro pai ake te kaiwhakahaere i a koe", te kī a te kaitākaro o mua o Dundee United me Hibs, 45-tau te pakeke. I tua atu i tera, he pai. He mea pouri te mea i whakakahoretia e ngā whara taku whai wāhitanga i Coventry engari i kitea i taua wā he aha te momo kaiwhakahaere a Gordon. <unk> He kaha ki te akiaki, ki te whakaohooho. I mohio ia ki te āhei i ngā kaitākaro ki te urupare ki a ia. Nō reira kāore au i te miharo ki te pai o tana mahi ki a Scotland. He tangata tino pai ia, ā, ko ia tonu te mea i hiahiatia e Rātana i taua wā. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o te kapa motu o Scotland a Strachan, i whakaahuahia i te 2001, i whakangungu i a O'Neill i a ia e kaiako ana i Coventry. <unk>He tino mārama te whakapainga i mahia e rātau...
