Gaelic Football and Its Two O’ Neill’s!



For Martin O’ Neill and Michael O’ Neill, never came to their heads or imagined, after their respective appointments to their national Squads, an all-around success!

Looking good, indeed, is what both Ireland's squads are suddenly experiencing with both of their new bosses and excellent runs in Euro Qualifying.

With the Boys from North Ireland and skipper Michael O’ Neill,  no relation to Republic of Ireland current skipper, playing like there’s no tomorrow with a commanding first place position.

The Norn Iron is leading group F with two points over Romania and a raucous win recently, over group favorite Greece; things are looking somehow promising to this squad.

That’s playing like there’s no tomorrow in this tournament, performing with a determination of excellence and to satisfy its loyal core of followers with a berth to the final event to be played in 2016.

Still there is one more compromise to fulfill, by playing with their Group F foe in a fighting Romanian squad, looking to take over its group lead and close the year in a bright note.

This challenge is well meet by Manager Michael O’ Neill fighting initial eleven, to quell an attack from the Transylvania blokes, these looking to derail the Green and White Army successful run in this tourney.

By far the Northern Ireland squad looking like a new era at the helm is producing the much needed results, as expected things are being turned around at Windsor Park, which hopefully will deliver the desired results that its federation envisioned.

On the Republic of Ireland side and its newly appointed Manager Martin O’Neill, his new challenges are to restore a new era of football- by restoring a more ambitious and winning attitude to its players.

Very well play on a one to one basis with its nemesis in group D seeded in, Skipper O’ Neill won’t have a stroll in the park as its Northern colleague.

Something looking not a bit easy to fulfill, still it’s not looking like a difficult task for the Republic of Ireland chaps so far in this edition of Euro 2016 Qualifiers.

As one of the utmost challenges for Boss Martin O’ Neill, is to emulate its contemporary feat of qualifying the Green Army in the past Euro tourney.

The challenge is on for the North Irish skipper to take its squad to the next levels of this competition and deliver their positions into the final sixteen squad’s and deliver positive results.

 The so called Death group or D, the Green Army will have to play with certain courage to the likes of almighty Germany, a rising Poland squad, a new Scotland squad and modest squad’s in Georgia and Gibraltar.

So far the Republic of Ireland is poised to go for the ultimate of challenge’s and deliver to its numerous follower’s, hungry for new glories from its Boys in Green.

It’s what Martin O ‘ Neill compromise ahead of this edition of Euro 2016 Qualifiers, were the Boys in Green are playing a surprisingly top of the line football and tied at first in their group with a hostile Polish National Team.

With their last compromise and a bit challenging one, going at Glasgow to play at Celtic Park with the Tartan Army a sort of Derby between these two squads.

The Boys in green undoubtedly will try to get a positive outcome of this face off and close the year with a win and maybe atop Group D, giving so far to the Republic of Ireland chaps a sort of optimism, ahead of their next year compromises.

At the end, the tale of the two O’Neill’s under their tenure, they are shaping a new era in Gaelic football, making it a competitive, respected and ambitious entities in all of Europe.
