Europa Conference League, first round, second leg: St Joseph's (1) v Shelbourne (2), Victoria Stadium, 5.00pm
The opportunity to see out one final season with Shamrock Rovers before joining forces with Damien Duff at Shelbourne' was more in keeping with his career goals.
And he has told the players to forget about their league campaign and embrace the club’s return to the European stage for the first time since 2006. “I was 19. Sam was the manager and he always said to embrace these moments because you don't know when they'll come back around again. “There will be a winner and loser and you want to be on the right side. It's about making sure you don't have any regrets.
It will be around 24 degrees at kickoff and O’Brien is not overly concerned by conditions, with the stiff sea breeze beside the ground a leveller.
