Czech Vs Ireland

Fighting Irish

Babybing the really pathetic thing is we have a good crop of young players that a decent manager could do things with. It is a shame that because of inept FAI decisions they won't get a chance to play in Euro2008 and we won't get a chance to watch them.

Staunton isn't the greatest, but its not all his fault, the players aren't that great

RE*AC*TOR

The squad isn't bad. Its certainly good enough to beat Slovakia and Cyprus.

We've had enough of this pretend manager.

This WAS NOT the referee's fault.

Not one bit.

Dunno why you're saying that because I don't think anyone is gonna blame the ref tbh. We were sh1te, plus we've got a sh1te manager. ho hum

No but it probably is the refs fault that Staunton has an excuse not to stand down. He will blame the red card. If he has any honour he should step down.

Why?

Will our new manager find better players that are irish or do a jack and find some english players who arent good enough for england but good enough for us to play?

That is the be all and end all. Do we want to win with irish players or do we want to win regardless.....

We have no world class players, we will always have "promising" players but they never do anything other than be promising.
The last promising player Michael Keane now plays for St pats :rolleyes:

End of story. I cant see Stan in charge of Ireland for the world cup after this. We were fecking woeful.

I know it's not the refs fault we're out but he was friggin awful. Should be shot imo.

Playing in the PL does not mean your are good.

I never implied that it does!


We have good players, ok we dont have great, But with a good manager we would be playing in euro 2008.


Do we not have enough quality to beat Cyprus,Slovakia or Czech Republic at home? I dont buy that for a second


You asked what game and team I am watching? that is my point we are a decent team made look ****e by the complete ineptness of the manager.

Dunphy is on form "would you let him drive the train to cork?"

How by implying that our coach should train players to be international players? Arse the clubs train them to be good international should be only a step up for good players, we lack the good player part.

Simple question bearing mind that Czech and germany will qualify for Euros, who would they pick from our squad.

Brilliant Dunphy!

I'm a gunner, and you'll probably start the whole their english thing but I just dont like seeing them win, its a instinctive thing like most Irish. I like the players hate the yobs and i hate listening to BBC. If it where for the players they'd have my support.

Dunphy can cheer up any evening anyone listening to him? ' I lost my job after 15 weeks and i didnt cry' ha ha legend

Steve Finnan, Damien Duff, Robbie Keane, Richard Dunne, Stephen Hunt. Dont know enough about a lot of the Czech players to say wheter our lads would be better.



No denying we should have beaten Slovakia and Cyprus though which would still put us in with a shout. They are the results that really stick in the throath.

God that was depressing. I have to agree with Giles etc. we have the players to beat the likes of Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, but as long as someone like Staunton persists with playing McGeady, playing full backs in the wrong positions, and persisting with bizarre tactical selections and substitutions, the players and the fans are being short changed.

Get Staunton out, get someone like Troussier in, someone who's proved they can take a limited team to a major championship.

In fairness, I'd agree that we're hardly world-beaters, but we have some decent talent.

...is a good enough team on the face of it. Good strikers, solid central defence, competant wide players, very good keeper - we should be playing a lot better than we are. With the exception of maybe Carsley, all those players will still be playing in two/three years time. The likes of Ireland and McShane could develop into real quality players. Players like Gibson, Long, Stokes, Murphy, Potts will hopefully offer some options by then - it's a squad that should at least be qualifying for tournaments. With players like that and the support we constantly have, that should be the absolute minimum we expect. If managed properly, we could be a good team come the next World Cup. Steve Staunton has shown himself to be a poor manager. He has to go.

Nothing would bring me more joy for they have players who play for Arsenal, Chelsea, West ham, Man United and all our other rivals in the league. They far outnumber the spurs players.


Plus as you mention the small matter of 800 years of impression, surely it is not completely unnatural to hope they lose based on that?


Wish people would get off the hippy wagons about this. I love to see England lose so what?

Because France are also over rated, the manager thing has a big effect if you play 451 with players that suit the formation.

yes but we didnt czech did, i dont think you get the point here. You cant have a "bad" game at international football there is no next week to fix it, we dont have players good enough to do that.

Completely different thread, but most Irish people have English blood in them anyway.

Just incredible, absolutely incredible. I am gobsmacked.

Nicely?? What's he on?

Mr.Nice Guy

FAI, you donkeys, get some sense and put Staunton out of his (or should I say our) misery.

The players tried but he picked the wrong team and played players out of position. It's a f*cking disgrace.

I plan on emailing the FAI clowns this evening to let them know my thoughts. This bullsh*t situation needs to change. I'm sick of us having to settle for mediocrity.

PS that red card decision was a joke. Hunt played a blinder.

ninebeanrows

Oh god that interview of Stan.

I actually felt sorry for him.

Please dont actually tell me he could stay in charge???:eek:

I wanna cry

Stan should never of gotten the job, the FAI are bigger idiots for giving it to him, the whole lot need to go, won't happen though.

That's bollox. He could start by playing players in their proper positions for a start. Finnan at left back and O'Shea at right back, the same with Kelly now.

We have ten times better players than Slovakia, Cyprus, and Wales.

He's such an arrogant tosser too.. but it's all bluster cause he knows he hasn't a clue!

Well if England make it to the EC I will be supporting them. When I went to the WC in Japan they were supporting us so its only fair to return the favour.

KdjaCL an experienced manager would give us a chance with far worse players than we have at the moment. The Delaney Yellow pack experiment has failed it is time to get an experienced man in.

bbability

Stan looks out of his depth. Tony O Donaghue is too much of a gent. Why didn't he ask him some hard questions like why the team looked so poor over the last two games? Stan is certainly not the man for the job.
