Republic of Ireland vs España

Carlos_Ray

I'm going to be hammered for saying this, but in my defence, its nothing to do with our performances in the Euro's.

I think when the tournament is finished, Trap should step down. He did all he can with this team and I thank him for it, but I'd love to see a new manager who'll give our younger lads a chance.

The Euro's will have 24 teams in it after this, it'll basically be harder not to qualify then to qualify. We may as well try a more adventurous style of play and take a chance with the likes of McCarthy,McClean, Coleman, Long, Clark etc

Bring back Steve Staunton.

The idea of supporting a crap team against a good team and knowing you're going to get hammered seems alien to some of us. The embarassing and pathetic descriptions aswell as the abuse directed at some of our players is much more fitting of the embarassing and pathetic tags.

I think you will find people expect more passion playing for your country over club, but what we see, is the exact opposite.
Green shirt means nothing nowadays

Yaaay! McClean. Not sure why stick him on with 15 minutes left, 3-0 down. At least he's on!

so Trap can tell the journalists I made the change ye wanted and McClean didnt do anything V Spain when 3-0 down.

I feel sorry for McClean he deserved a better induction than this , at half time or at 2-0 down ...

Good point. I'm so used to success in the EPL I haven't enjoyed watching Ireland. The constant hurt and let down isn't enjoyable.

ScummyMan

Green? Now that's just taking the p!ss.

handsomecake

i love spain. the amount of stories you hear in these parts about players not making it in england as they are not big enough as kids etc but the spanish pick skillful players as opposed to big lumps.

Could be the last we see of Duff in an Irish shirt.

I felt Duff played ok tonight and done his best but is the wrong side of 30 unfortunately for us. Nevertheless given the unimaginative manager we have id say his place on the irish team is set in stone.

Here comes Paul Green while Wes Hoolahan watches on his telly somewhere in Norfolk.

i dont think that's true any more. international football isn't nearly as important as it used to be, let's be honest. the peak of the game is the top level of club football, not the international game any more

Green has 10 mins to get that Barca deal.

Hey, I support Bolton. I should be used to losing by now!

average_runner

sooner we sack this lad the better. green ahead of Gibson. is he having a laugh with us Irish

IamtheWalrus

Is it possible McClean just didn't show anything in training to start matches? Trappatoni isn't stupid.



I think.

people are well aware of the disparate levels of ability between the 2 sides.

if you are happy with simply being at a tournament and getting hockeyed then I think it says alot about your ambitions.

No well reasoned fan expects us to pull up many trees but if you are happy with that effort then fair play to you.

For the record, ive seen supposed lower ranked sides put up more fight against Spain then we have.

briany

I called it. Not particularly happy that I did but I did say Trap would bring on Green while losing v. Spain and by jaysis he did. A blunderstroke.

Paparazzo

At least we still have the politically incorrect thread

Hank Scorpio

I didn't think we'd get out of the group before the tournament started, what I hoped for was to do ourselves proud and give it a right go. After the first 2 games I feel pretty disgusted and angry. Feel bad for the players 4-0

Min

Oops, they did it again.

Basq

4-0..

YES!!!!

lempsipmax

No blame for the Irish players tonight. I think the score line reflects the level of the players on both sides.

Samich

Embarassing

Mr.Crinklewood

Anger there.
