The year is 1985.

Incredible long sleeved Ireland shirts are in fashion & the design & variation of our Irish kits is off the charts.

Pin stripes, centered crests, different crests, padded sleeves, V & round necklines. A fabric feast.💚

What a time to be alive. ☘️

Well that's a bit of a manky Irish Monday morning out there to start the week. 😵‍💫

This little ray of Ireland kit sunshine is brought to you by the year 1986 & #Adidas .

The Ireland Football ⚽️🇮🇪 l/s home jersey with the lesser spotted home goalkeeper shirt.

There's no finer ambassador for Irish football than John O Shea. ☘️

A real class act both on and off the pitch for Ireland & a man of integrity.👏🏻

I sincerely hope Ireland Football ⚽️🇮🇪 show him the proper level of #respect in this managerial process.

He deserves that.

The Football Association of Ireland has extended John O’Shea's spell as Interim Head Coach of the Men’s National Team 💚

O'Shea will lead the side for the two friendly international matches against Hungary and Portugal in June 🇮🇪

I am unashamedly a huge Mick McCarthy fan. 💚

From the 'James Nolan Collection' #museum archive two #Ireland shirts from our #history

Mick's first game as Ireland Football ⚽️🇮🇪 manager in 1996 vs Russia & his final game as #Irish boss at home to Denmark in 2019.

The FAI is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Cork-born legend Charlie Hurley

Capped 40 times by his country, Charlie will always be remembered as 'The King'

We are proud he played for Ireland and offer our sympathies to his family and friends

Not one but two 📚 on our Ireland international football kit #history . Who doesn't 💚 an Irish soccer shirt?!

A Centenary is a very special & important milestone to mark for any team.

I think it's fair to say that the #Umbro kit that #Ireland wore against Qatar in #Dublin to mark the first 100 years of #Irish international football did the occasion & #history justice

#COYBIG 🔵 🟡 = 🇮🇪

A beautiful morning out in Cross Chapel in Blessington for a cracking under 13 game. James Nolan's club. ☘️

A hard fought 2-2 draw. Thoughts with the young ⚽️🦌Blessington FC🦌⚽️ player who had to go in a ambulance due to a nasty looking leg injury. 🙏🏻

#COYBIG 🇮🇪

1st & 2nd legs of #Ireland last #worldcup playoff in 2009.

Croke Park & Stade de France.

My friends told me I was 'mad' to go to #Japan in 2002 as we would 'qualify for Germany in 2006...'🤔

When will an #Irish SMNT next reach FIFA World Cup or even the playoffs? ☘️

No new #Ireland manager likely to be in place before September v #England . I understand the get it right point but the new man will have just a few days before a massive #Irish match to work with players. They need to be in place for summer games.

Some ☘️ v 🇬🇧 kits.

#COYBIG 🇮🇪

Fair play to Marc Canham for owning the issues around the Ireland Football ⚽️🇮🇪 manager search.

The interview imo should have been with Tony O'Donoghue not FAIreland TV.

I still believe #Ireland need a manager in place *AHEAD* of #Irish games in Summer prior to #England game
#COYBIG 🇮🇪

Today marks 150 days since #Ireland had a SMNT manager. An appointment was promised in April.

Are Ireland Football ⚽️🇮🇪 willing to now wait until August?

Marc Canham today needs to speak, not via an FAIreland statement & let #Irish fans know what the process is. ☘️

#COYBIG 🇮🇪

The Republic of Ireland had one of the longest continuous international kit sponsorships in with Umbro.

The #Irish football team occasionally wore #Umbro in early years but 1994 saw the first formal partnership. ⚽

The rest is fabric #history .

💎 are forever. ☘️

#COYBIG 🇮🇪

I'd really hope that between now and Friday 19th April that the #FAI will announce who the new manager of the #Ireland team will be.

If there's no manager then someone is going to have to come out in Abbottstown, stick their head over the parapet & explain process.
