"This [the anthem] is something that I always struggled with when I was playing for Ireland. The gap between your warm-up, your coming on to the pitch and the delay with the anthems. So it's something that I have never done."
"I fully respect both anthems and understand how much they mean to both countries. It's something I am really respectful of. I am focused on the football and our first actions within the game."
"I definitely don't see this as a fresh start. This is a team coming off the back of a tournament. It's a difference of opinion whether it was successful or not. I think it was."
