Awful.. I hate to say it but I really was hoping Cyprus would win.

I'm betting Stan will survive now too :mad:

Absolutely. Now they can continue parroting that "unbeaten in so many games" line.

It's pathetic.

Well its a disgrace, its a disgrace that so called professional players put in a performance like that, its a disgrace that our so called "World Class" manager has never even managed a Sunday football team, its a disgrace that a so called accountant appointed him (he obviously went for the cheapest option).

If Staunton has any honour, if he values what he did as a player he should now do the right thing and resign. If the FAI had any balls they would dispose of Delaney as well but as has been proven time in time out the only Balls they have are stamped with Mitres name.

redzerdrog

he will not be sacked

and even by some devine intervention he leaves his post who the hell do you get?

bet Don Givens gets the job full time thats the only possible worser appointment other than desf but that was a joke yeah?

Lets not give up hope lads. Cyprus and Slovakia can still finish ahead of us.

Mr Alan

Kevin Keegan please

maybe we could get the special one, or warnock to give the boys a kick up the arse

Sizzler

I heard he had agreed to walk after the Wales game but given tonights shambles Im not even sure he will last that long.

Warnock is at Crystal Palace.
Maybe we could try and beat Bolton to getting Paul Jewell. Unlikely though...

Was just picking Warnock as someone who would give palyers a right bollocking if they preformed like that.

Sammy Lee's available...

PHB

I'm almost physically sick after that game.

Stan really should do the honourable thing as resign, but I don't think he realises he should. I hope somebody explains it to him. That was a shocking, shocking, shocking performance. The team were utter ****e, and have to take some repsonsiblity here, but Stan can't get them playing. I honestly can't understand how that result can happen. I really just don't get it.

Stan has to go, Delaney has to go. Kevin Keegan would be a godsend if that happened.

Ill do it. Im bleeding brilliant at fm07. More experience that stan had, I won the 2008 championships and 2010 world cup:)

Take a look at Staunton's Wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Staunton#Career_as_Irish_Manager

Staunton and Ireland would reach a new low on 17 October, with a 1-1 draw with Cyprus at Croke Park, met with loud boos from an Irish support whose patience had continued to evaporate.

Steve Staunton has been dismissed as Irish manager by the FAI after an abysmal performance against Cyprus in Croke Park in which the Irish Team drew with the Cypriots.

Steve has admitted he enjoys the occasional cooch pounding session along with some donkey punching and the odd bit of naughty fisting.

You would think he'd do the decent thing and quit

DesF

Yup, ive been saying it the past 8 months or so - DesF is the man for the job (sorry Boardeaux!).

Plus also probably the only manager left that the FAI can afford at this stage

Gwan, it was you wasn't it?

Paul Jewell would be a great appointment but he will probably go to Bolton.
No one would want to come and manage Ireland after the last few performances

MrJoeSoap

Didn't think I'd ever see the day I was depressed at a last-minute Ireland equaliser or winner, but now I've seen them both.

There's only one thing Ireland fans can do if Staunton stays in charge, and 16,000 people apparently did it tonight by not even showing up despite having tickets.

They paid for the tickets so doubt the FAI care.

David O' Leary is just one potential option that would be infinately better.

Any man with experience +3years managing football teams at any decent level would be a better option. This isn't hard.

And remember, Delaney needs to go too. He cannot be allowed to pick the succesor.

Angus MacGyver

Jose for the job

Whats wrong with Eamon? he has very limited experience aswell but a little bit more than Stan. So I think he qualifys.

Unfortunately mate people were silly enough to pay top whack for block booked matches which included the pile of shoite you saw tonight. The FAI are laughing as they cleaned up as a result of the Germany game and the tie-in of tonights ticket sales. Damage is done sadly for this campaign, lets hope the penny drops before the next. I'm gald to say I havent been to a game since he's been in charge and it will remain that way.

Staunton cut the mic wire

Mr.Nice Guy

RTE are almost as inept as the FAI. Can't wait to hear his interview.

PHB

When was the last time you actually enjoyed a game that Ireland played in that wasn't a friendly? I'm having trouble remembering one.

That's the best interview I've seen from Stan in the last 18 months. Silence is golden.

Edit: redzerdrog beat me to it.

There is more to the FAI than the senior team and every other aspect of the game in Ireland has improved dramatically under his tenure.

Stan out and Ole Ole's to see the bigger picture.

BFassassin

Did anyone hear Eamonn Dunphy say "What a c*ck up this is" When they tried to talk to Stan Made me smile

I don't have RTE over here, what did Stan say?

cregser

He said players and management weren't up to standard. Had no excuses and addmited the weren't good enough.

BFassassin

The mic was cut the first time he tried to talk anyway
