STUEY BRYNE & ENDA BRADY | 'We will wipe the floor with the Czech Republic!' | LIVE from O'Neills pub in Prague

Football, unoff the ball. He's played in the stadium just last week. I think he scored as well.

He will have great memories and he must be walking around like an absolute peacock.

So we are really looking forward to be happy to be there. We have kind of nothing to lose everything to prove.

We've qualified for the World Cup. Go and compete.

Let's pick my sands and we'll go to all of it. I've done one more.

I'm ready. I'm the scum for my crew.

And we'll have to cross it there and it's come through here.

Back it here.

Let's get back into this afternoon.

Do it best.

You've put in under pressure.

Somebody said, you're only as good as your last game.

He grew up in a good moment.

He'll be here as well as a feel that the people who want it.

For what it goes again, by Kitsula Quinn heads up.

I'm sure he'll start the game.

And I'll do it.

He's making a game.

Yes!

That moment, we have to leave where we have the people with us, supporters with us.

Is that it?

Have we seen the moment pass?

What it might have happened? Let's hope not.

Kula.

Fight against that!

We'll be ready.

Brings us all to our feet and we will.

Barbara takes it on her own step.

Barbara, for round and in to the area.

Tollpusset goal!

What a moment!

Maybe the moment of a lifetime.

For their heart.

It does.

History.

History is made by the Republic of Ireland.

The entire Irish team.

Run to celebrate.

Another inviting ball in there.

That's what's in the game.

For round and in front.

Straight to the corner gate.

What a bite.

What a start for the Irish.

Last throw of the dice.

It's all on this.

We can count it as an option to ball into the box.

Stairs is up after.

Stairs wins the game.

It's gone in.

It's gone in.

That's Troy Parallel.

Oh my word, it is Troy Parallel.

That is unbelievable.

He scored a hockey.

And run at the death Ireland has done it.

I've never seen that good like him.

It's the sheriff's dream boy.

It's the bad video boy who has done it.

Absolutely remarkable.

Run at the end.

It's no way Quinn Robbie came.

It's exciting to be back in the day.

Barrel.

It's me.

It's the world to me.

My family's here.

Yeah, they love that.

I know, boys.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Well, are we on the brink of more Irish footballing history?

All would become clear.

In about 26 hours time.

We couldn't be more excited.

We couldn't be more terrified.

We are live from O'Neill's Irish Bar in the Genskok district of Brad.

And as you can hear, there are a lot of Irish fans who have come down to the center of this football.

Yeah, love to see it.

Yeah, love to see it.

Yeah, love to see it.

Yeah, love to see it.

Yeah, love to see it.

Yeah, love to see it.

I should run underneath up over there.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Wow.

Lads, it's a pleasure to be here.

We are in a cellar here underneath O'Neill's Irish Bar.

We thought we were here.

But don't even begin to hear.

This is one of the most amazing Irish pubs I've ever been to because all of the madness is kind of happening two kilometers away from here.

It's two kilometers away from here in the old town of the city.

And there is this lovely, quieter district called Chishkov, as I say.

And this brilliant pub called O'Neill's.

And we walk in here and other than the fact that it's like very blatantly an Irish pub.

You would have no idea whatsoever that there's anything Irish about it.

It's got a whole kind of different feel to it when you come downstairs.

It's like you're in a comedy club.

We're in front of a stage with a drum kit on it.

And we're just delighted to be here.

It's all in here with you till 10 o'clock.

You got a chewy burn here.

Hello, chewy.

Very well.

Your journey today.

You talked to us about that.

You were with me on the plane from Dublin Airport.

Great journey.

Yeah, absolutely.

You walked through Dublin Airport.

It felt like there were about 12 different flights on.

Also, the people going to Dusseldorf.

Vienna.

We're looking up the flight straight to Prague.

A little bit of cheer.

The crowd when we landed.

It was kind of quite warming to go.

And ever since then, it's been a beautiful city.

You know, a city of sellers.

And a city of a little bit of mystique.

You feel like you're on a movie set no matter where you go.

Harry Potter, Jason Barn.

Saw.

I was going to say.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a horror show.

No, it's been wonderful to be here.

And I'm quite taking it back by the atmosphere in the town.

I thought I knew it would be good, but it seems to be.

It's amazing.

Very nice.

Stephen Doil is here.

How are you, Stephen?

Good evening.

Great to be here.

I just said we walked in her first.

The first thing I saw.

Bohemian.

Jerry.

I've run over.

Still haven't seen the show.

Well, yes, Joey.

I'm on his joke.

Listen, it's pretty obvious here.

Actually last night.

And you know this famous clock down in the center of the old town of Prague.

Yes.

And this is the first sense I got of the art supporters down there.

Like it is.

I was here over 20 years ago.

Interrating.

And I went down to see this famous clock.

It's 600 years old.

It's apparently the oldest clock in the world.

And this.

It shines every hour, obviously.

And a little cookie with all these little things pop out.

So people gather around this thing.

And last night there was a.

I didn't cop this.

It was 11 o'clock.

And all of a sudden the clock starts going off.

And you heard of this all morning.

You.

And it's all these.

Or is that stunning?

Yeah.

Go mad for this clock.

It was just.

It was pretty.

It was pretty.

And it's just.

There's just such a good vibe around the city.

And in the camp as well, most importantly.

So my favorite thing about the idea that I had of doing this show was that we were bound

to spot a notable Irish fan or two and just bring them downstairs here and have a chat

with them for a couple of minutes.

And I just knew it would be the most random Irish person of all time.

And you just wouldn't be able to predict who that is.

So ladies and gentlemen, we have broadcaster end of Brady with us here in this set.

I mean, you.

Good evening, everyone.

You might have been under 100 man long list.

I think to be fair of likely Irish figures to spot here in Prague.

Look, I go home and away with Ireland and I have done since I was about 12 years of age.

Been everywhere from Russia to Armenia to Wales to England.

Lands downrolled all my life.

And it has been wonderful today.

Walking around Prague.

I have met people I haven't seen since I was 10 years of age.

Wow.

Growing up at my grandmother in County Wicklow in a village called Newcastle.

I'd people come up to me today.

I'm wearing a pomach chain.

Match worn jersey, everyone.

Case you need to know.

And I've had half of Ireland come up to me today.

And we're going to win.

We're going to win tomorrow night.

I tell you now, 2-0.

The lads are buzzing.

Everyone's super confident.

Harvey Vale is starting in midfield.

That's an exclusive for you there and everything.

You didn't think you'd get.

I'm telling you now, we will wipe the floor with the Czech Republic tomorrow night.

And we'll go to Dublin.

We'll be Denmark.

It's great to finally have a real journalist on the show together.

I wouldn't go that far.

Hang on, hang on.

What at the last 24 hours have you got a lovely twist-looking glass of beer there in front of you?

What is that?

Wait, wait, what is that?

That's a star of Pram and they call it.

It's five euros and I'd say it's very good value.

But you need to show them to half a wix for it.

Everyone in Marti Bees in Calor and County wix for it right now, drinking Guinness.

That's it.

I'm drawing now.

And I ran into Stephen Hunt today as well.

Stephen, Stephen being the businessman he is.

He represents half the Czech team by the way.

Don't trouble with the boss now.

Be careful.

I know.

We love Stephen.

Stephen's genius.

And thank you, Stephen, for getting me a match ticket in the Czech president's suite tomorrow night.

I'd say Stephen's phone is ringing out the hook now.

Is that for real?

Is that what happened?

What's happened?

That's right.

I would be seeing it.

I don't know the affiliate, but I'm sure we've become great friends.

To check F.A. president or to check president?

The man who matters.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

El Presidente.

El Presidente.

You are even in him our best pals.

You actually came over last night just with the hope of you want to just be here.

I just wanted to come here.

I just thought it was an amazing trip.

I call 10,000 Irish people coming here.

Get the day off work.

Come switch off.

Have a bit of crack.

Talk to people.

Enjoy yourselves.

And look.

We're going to a world cup.

Bremming with positivity.

Yeah.

Positivity.

Bring it on.

You've been sharing that positivity all day long.

Yeah.

Ever since the Hungary game, I've been kind of scratching my head a little bit.

But scratching my head probably for most of this campaign.

But the Hungary game just kind of I just kind of felt that something was happening.

Or something had happened.

And ever since then I've just had this overall sense that we're just going.

Like, you know, it's that it's our name is on the cup.

Sort of a feeling regardless.

Um, we're just going with it.

It's just one of those years or there seems to be just something happening in the team and the squad.

Sometimes you can't explain everything in football, you know, and the game.

The game is very much overanalyzed.

You know, there's everybody's got an opinion and it's fantastic now.

Even when you, when you, when you, when you talk to fans that how well educate they are on the game.

Because of that exposure to it is constant exposure to the game and constant commentary that you get.

But sometimes just sometimes you can't explain everything and I, I genuinely feel.

And I, you know, I could have taken me face with this one.

I don't think so because I really do think we're going to America.

I just think this is a special moment and it's something that we have to cherish.

And I'm definitely getting that sense of everybody.

The air positivity in, in, in, in, I'm going into this.

I've never seen anything like it.

Um, for a long, long time.

Stevo.

Great stuff there from him or Halgum's in conversation with Steve.

What do you make of that?

He's, he's a hard man.

Not to like, isn't he?

Yeah.

I mean, look, I, the one thing I've always been, I've always liked about Halgum's.

And is that there's a genuine air of humbleness about him.

Doesn't honestly there.

Um, you know, you can only go by what the man says.

Um, sorry, you can also go by what he does.

And I do think he's, he's the type of person that sort of backs up his actions by what he says.

I thought, you know, there's no, there's no miscommunication.

There's no hidden agenda.

There's no attempts to kind of put the media off.

You know, you get an awful lot of managers in football these days.

I tried to be too cute with clever for their own good.

And they only end up shooting themselves in the foot.

So I think that's the one thing.

Um, from Halgum's point of view that I think has kept.

It's kept him honest.

It's kept the players honest.

It's kept everybody honest.

Um, you know, there were times in the campaign where people were calling for his head.

And I think because of the person he was.

And he kind of just, he, he, he, he, he, he kept himself together.

He, he, he, he kind of, I suppose he stood, he stood for what he, he, he, he stands for, he, he was that honest humble person.

And it's got him true.

Yeah, it's got him true.

And it's, if anybody can learn a lesson in football about how to maybe just kind of keep your head and stick to your what you believe.

And it's what's happened with Halgum's been in the last six months.

You are listening to the voice of Shuri Burn.

Who is going to be with us on our live commentary tomorrow evening Stephen Doyle is going to be calling the game alongside him.

to 745 kickoff live from the Fortuna Arena.

You can hear the game live here on Newstalk Radio.

Our number is always 7, 9, 1, 80, 1, 80.

If you want to send us a WhatsApp message,

we're live here from O'Neill's Bar.

And I'm very happy to say that the owner of the bar,

Mike Begley, a good Limerick man,

is here with us in the center.

Although O'Neill's Mike, how are you keeping?

I'm good, what's crack, hurry?

Very well.

I have never seen a Irish bar like this.

Are you aware of how unique this place is?

Yeah, we tried to make unique things,

I'm about to work like.

You're the best man out to describe this to people

about what you actually get when you come here.

I've tried to paint a picture at the top here

that we're in this center, we're on a stage,

we're at a drum kiss.

And this feels like a very music heavy place,

as opposed to an Irishness heavy spot.

Yeah, so me and my best friend of 25 years

we opened the place together.

Last year, we opened, or two years ago,

we opened one of Crosstown and then we opened this place.

We wanted to be like a late night live music bar.

So we painted it kind of, we made it grungy.

We wanted to go for grunge, so we put brick wallpaper

on the walls and we spray painted all over it.

And we'd like, just basically, he let me loose

with spray paint hands for a couple of days

and I kind of didn't stop.

So we just, the last one was like a proper Irish pub,

but this one we were just doing whatever we thought.

Okay, no, letting our arcades to excite out.

So we just did whatever we wanted, designed how we wanted.

And it's like, it's got a really good vibe, we think.

Anyway, just to give people a visual,

what came to my head when I came down

had that kind of New York comedy seller vibe,

you're kind of walking down, but when you get down here,

you certainly feel like it could either operate band voice

or comedy act, do you got any?

Yeah, we have no new comedy shows yet.

We've been wanting to find some.

A lot of the churches like for comedy.

Other some good comedies here, yeah, yeah, definitely.

But we had a lot of live music last weekend.

Now there was a big music festival in the area

and there was like six or 7,000 people with tickets

and there was like 10 pubs they were all going to.

Right.

So there was hundreds of them here every day

and they were like just, just told to tell

Bob in their heads, it was great, unreal.

I can't get over how many Irish pubs they were in the city.

Yeah, 18.

Is there 18?

18.

So you kind of do need to find a point at difference

when you're setting up a new one.

Yeah.

And I'll have to do some past.

Yeah, definitely.

And why did you pick Prague?

Why was it checkered that you decided to set your sights on?

So Liam came on holiday to Prague nine years ago

and he just never came home.

So after about three years I thought I'd find out where he was

so I followed and I never went home either.

And what is it about the place?

What is it about the country, the city that's kept you here?

Oh, it's just a class city.

It's beautiful, obviously, most people know that.

But the nightlife is unbelievable.

You can go for drinks all night all day.

You know, like pubs kick out, kick you out of 9 a.m.

And then you go to the next one that opens at 9 a.m.

And it's just the city never stops, you know.

Why can't we get this right in Ireland?

We just cannot get this right in Ireland.

As a matter of what, we do open for close to all, you know.

What is it about us?

Why don't they trust us?

What's the business been like over the last day or so?

Obviously, we heard the sound down here in the cellar

at the top of the show.

The old town might attract a lot of people

as soon as they step into the city.

But you're getting a go-but-a-chaffee out this way as well, right?

Yeah, there's a lot of hotels around here.

OK.

There's Airbnb's.

And some people are coming out from the cities

because they've seen us in social media

or they've heard from their friends who have already been here.

So we are getting a good few people.

We thought it would be busier yesterday.

It wasn't so much.

People are really starting to land like tonight, it seems.

Yeah.

It's been a strange enough experience.

Like, as you said earlier, Anasturie,

being down in Terminal 2 in Dublin today

was a weird one because you arrived at the gate for Prague.

We were looking up to be on the flight for Prague.

And that was the most serene gate in the whole airport.

It's not at the gate.

It was the door for the hopping.

Geneva was going to be Vienna.

Or yeah, they're going to be left and right across Europe,

and all people are just making their way over here in a minute.

It's incredible.

We do have one of our reporters who've

been making this circuitous journey.

Matthew Brennan is on the road.

After the ads, we're going to hear from Matthew

and hear an update on this journey, which

has gone from Newcastle to Vrotswav, I believe.

So we're going to check in to see how he's getting on from Vrotswav

to Prague.

Mike Begley, thank you very much for giving us

the space for the evening and great to chat to you.

Yeah, thanks for coming.

It's been great.

To take a city ads, let's hear from Shem is Coleman.

He was speaking about the importance of laying down a marker

tomorrow night's.

We don't know how the game's going to go on that regard.

I mean, it's always when you put on the green shirt,

you want to be felt.

You want them to know that you're there.

So it's going to be important.

But as well as that, you know, cam heads and control,

control game is going to be important because, as you said,

we don't know what's to come with them and their manager,

but we know what we can control is our own behaviors.

And what our mindset is going into the game.

So we're focusing on ourselves a lot,

and then I understand there's been change here,

but we just want to focus on ourselves.

And what have you made of Harvey Vailan?

What could he contribute tomorrow night's?

It's been, we've been in for a short time,

and he's been greater in the grip,

and I know that he's happy to be here, which is important.

And then he's looked really good in training,

and I'm sure the manager's not calling them up,

you know, if he didn't think he was ready.

So it's an opportunity for everyone.

We've all got to be ready over the course this week

and when the chance comes, you've got to be ready to take it.

It's one of the last things you'd like to do with Arden,

this is playing the world cup.

Why would it need for you personally

if you were able to reach the finals?

A bit like the boss said, selfishly, it would be amazing

because as players, you do want to do as much as you can in the game.

But like the boss said, to be honest,

after the aftermath of the last two games,

seeing what the entire country was incredible,

even speaking about it now, it was incredible what it did to our country,

how it lifted our country, how it lifted our people,

how it genuinely made people happier

and give people something to talk about,

something to get up in the morning and talk about,

which was so important.

So I think on behalf of myself and all the players,

much and all as we want to do for ourselves, the manager,

and by the way, all the staff being the scenes,

we do want to do for the people of our country as well.

Football, unoff the ball.

He's played in the stadium just last week,

I think he scored as well.

He will have great memories and he must be walking around

like an absolute peacock.
