"The FAI only ever approach one type of player: Catholic." Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill has hit out at the Football Association of Ireland saying it only targets Catholic players to switch allegiance to the Republic. Players born in Northern Ireland, of course, are eligible to represent the Republic and O'Neill is peeved at losing potential future senior internationals. Vinny spoke to commentator Brendan Mulgrew and sports journalist Steven Beacom.
