Why do international managers get offered extensions too their contracts before tournanments? Thats what they get hired to get the teams too.

FFS > GREEN WTF!!! :mad:

So they can be given bigger compensation packages when they are let go.

We did the classic move of giving a new contract before the tournament. IRFU did the same with Eddie O'Sullivan before a woeful world cup. You'd think we'd learn

kingshankly

In fairness it would be a poorer tournament without our fans

gavmcg92

I think we should sell off our fans to the highest bidder for the rest of the euros! Shame they have to leave early...

average_runner

the only way to get Green not picked is for him to play for a top 8 team in England

FutureGuy

I honestly think Trap doesnt deserve to go. He got us to the final and he deserves to stay.

HOWEVER, I would get rid. We have alot of young, hungry attacking talent coming through who will be overlooked for the 2014 WC.

0-4. Fields of Athenry being sung and Spaniards clapping along. Great stuff.

Amazing fans

Surprised Gary Doherty hasn't gotten a run out.

Keane has gone to 1000-1 on betfair to become top scorer. Worth a punt? :pac:

Fùck it, warms the heart to hear the crowd drowning everything out despite the scoreline. The best thing about our tournament by far.

Just listen to our fans, one thing we can we can still be proud of tonight anyway.

Is it the crying in the stands, the leprechaun outfits, the titlicking, the funny flags or the rugby songs you are proud of?

Heartbreaking.

Don't know why Irish people are so concered with "being great".

The Irish crowd this tournament seem to have the soul mission of "being great".

STFU, **** team and **** manager.

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

2nd and last goal were a joke defensively. Plenty of blame on the Irish on those 2 regardless of how hard they try. The 1st goal was forgivable but still an awfully soft goal to give away. However, the score line does reflect how the game has gone despite the fact 3 of the goals were pretty much gifted to the Spanish. Just goes to show that keeping clean sheets against the minnows of European football doesn't matter a toss, like anyone with a brain has seen all along. The only good team we played in qualifying was Russia and they made bits of us home and away. At least we got into the tournament proper but the Trap short term fix won't get us anywhere in the finals.

Spain have been quality. There's certain teams where if you park the bus you have to be perfect defensively + lucky. Ireland have been too shíte to ride their luck unfortunately. Hopefully we can get a result against Italy anyway, they're better than us but don't have the quality that Spain have to get passed the bus!

Great support.
They will still come back heroes, we were there at least.

Fans are nearly bringing a tear to my eyes.

Trap makes stupid decisions and the team doesn't play well. Fans singing their fúcking hearts out. Brilliant!

Not sure where you're from and who your country is but why the need to kick people when they are down?

Irrelevant, still a good gesture and atmosphere created by the crowd.

The good news is Ireland will need a new system to play as this has been a failure and it was not great system to watch.

Coming back as heroes is the last thing that should happen. No way should this sort of thing be glorified.

There needs to be a serious post-mortem at the end of this to determine what the best way forward is for 2014, 2016 and more importantly the long-term footballing vision of this country.

See my post #213. I knew it should have been done, among a few other things.

RGDATA!

So will the 'kool aid brigade' who pre-tournament labelled the posters pre-tournament with valid concerns 'whingers', 'moaners', and sometimes more choice words man up and apologise?

Somehow, I suspect not.

Apologise? Feck that. I had a go at a few not because I entertained any real notions that we'd do anything but because I wanted to suspend my disbelief and enjoy the buildup without the overwhelming negativity.
Yes, we've been woefully exposed, and some posters may feel vindicated now but I will never enjoy watching Ireland with the kind of fan who is a complete buzzkill from the outset.

kitakyushu

So when is the open top bus thru the city scheduled for?

gandalf

Well done to Spain an absolutely wonderful team to watch in full flow. They quite rightly put one of the worst Irish teams I have ever seen to the sword.

Well done to the brilliant Irish Fans for showing other nations how you should conduct yourself at a tournament. Listening to them here I am an extremely proud Irishman! They are a credit to us.

Trapattoni has to go the Irish team has no future playing his anti-football tactics.
