I've spent some time with Phelim. He's a brilliant guy. But you have to give him a break, he's Irish. We were all born with this seething pot of emotions on the verge of boiling over at any minute. No matter how calm an collected you carry yourself to begin with it sometimes gets the better of you. I've been in situations like this too. There's a lot of excitement and anticipation that leads up to the confrontation. You start out calm but then some smarmy fool starts getting you agitated (usually with some unexpected example of idiocy) and the careful calm plans get lost as the pot boils over.
He'll get better with time. It's not like he gets to face down his #1 nemesis every day.
McAleer did just fine.;) We’re watching the video aren’t we?
