I tuned in for the press conference and got treated to Aphex Twins greatest hits instead.

Silenced by FIFA perhaps :pac:

I love the man, but my god he is hard to comprehend.

Camoranesi you mean?

mathie

He's babbling on too much.

"How do FIFA select referees?"

Get to the bones of the issue.

Bonjour.

Says he knows the game cannot be replayed

im disappointed with trap so far

its like he's just lying down and letting fifa walk all over him

spockety

He's a pragmatic guy, comes with experience.

JPA

I don't know what he is talking about at all. He should let the semi hot translator do all the talking.

Agreed.

He is not talking about the game.

RTE Radio are saying the FAI want a rematch! Manager and employers not talking together!

noodler

It is never going to be replayed. He is taking the high road in fairness.

Sometimes Irish reporters are just emabressing, that Robbie Fowler question (story) was cringeworthy.

He's not saying he doesn't want a rematch, he's saying that he knows FIFA will not allow a replay

What do you want him to do? Rant on about injustice like some demented madman and perhaps have referees/UEFA/FIFA be less favourable to them than they otherwise would have been?

There is NOTHING he can do about it. I'm not listening as I can't in work, but I assume he is saying that he is disappointed and frustrated, etc etc?

no I wanted him to repeat what liam said today

he doesnt blame le cheat either which im cross about

Xavi6

The mic they have beside the reporters is feckin terrible. Can't make out a single question being asked.

Yep, pretty much and saying something has to be done to make sure it doesn't happen again in the future and that countries like Ireland need to be given as fair a chance as more financially profitable countries.

Stupid reporters asking the same question again has got him angry

They don't have mics beside reporters, that is rarely done at any press conference.

Sucks alright, but there you go.

mathie

Trap was asked if he thinks its worth trying to get it replayed.

Trap said he can't ask this as he knows it's impossible.

Xavi6

What's with the fuckin buzzing?! Had the volume up full on the laptop and nearly lost an ear drum

leninbenjamin

'tis over now.

I think he was pretty admirable in his stance (although his English did him no favours).

Atomic Pineapple

It is impossible, a rule change is needed

Rockee

I found that press conference very difficult to listen to, I know that his English isnt perfect but he was kinda babbling on a bit! I was expecting him to come out at that conference like a rabbit out of a Trap (pun intended.)

He's Italian, they always babble on a bit no matter what language they are talking in.

5starpool

FAI chancing their arm officially requesting to have the match replayed.

Paulw

I thought he was very good. He's realistic and honest. He knows the game won't be replayed, but he does think that the rules need to be changed.

Never an easy press conference.

Politically, I think it is a great move (if it is happening).

No chance of it coming off, but it puts the FFR and FIFA in the position of officially having to defend and endorse a result of outright and clear cheating in order for it not to happen. At least it puts pressure on FIFA for an actual response other than a long winded 'no comment'.

How is it mortifying? That the football association of a country who have got shafted for the past couple of months are finally making a stand against the favouritism shown to the larger nations. B0llocks is what it is. B0LLOCKS!

I think it's the right move too. Don't force the issue too much, but do just enough to keep it in people's minds and generate global sympathy for us. We might be able to use that sympathy then to leverage for more power and fairness in the world stage.

the idea of a game being replayed because of 1 poor call by the ref is laughable.

especially when the french no doubt feel they had a stone wall penalty rejected (there was contact).

if it was Liverpool, i'd say the exact same thing....did you see me calling for a replay after the beachball incident at Sunderland which was a far worse error by the ref.? no.

refs make mistakes, players do what they can to seek an advantage. get over it to be honest.

And more to the point Liverpool FC didn't call for a replay either despite some media reports saying that they may have had a case.

Ireland don't have a case so an official request for a replay is only to satisfy the masses that they are 'doing something'. Populist move by John Delaney imo.

thats truely laughable

It's admirable that Trap tries to speak English in press conferences, and in fairness he gives it a better go than Staunton, but I think he needs to leave it up to Ms. Spinelli to do the talking.

ROCKMAN

Would like to heard FIFA answer his question about Ireland been the only so called non seeds in the play offs that where away from home in the second leg . How and Why did this happen ?(Sorry did not see the draw at the time )

Awwwwwwww. The poor small nation. ->

Jesus lads you sound ridiculous.
For the umpteenth time, all qualifying rounds were going to be seeded.

Yesterday was horrible and I was gutted too but it is part of the game and could have happened to any other team/country. Get fkn over it.
