Ya but it was a small minority, otherwise i wouldnt have got involved.:o

Anyway that being my point, i think that today the overwhelming majority of fans want trap gone while that wasnt the case with brian or mick, just my experience of course.

Seriously though, leaving results aside, do you not have any issues with his not going to matches, keeping in contact with players and their clubs, his diabolical english and general communication problems, his public criticisms of players like McLean, Clarke etc???

I was happy enough when he was appointed but since that Russia game in Dublin, doubts set in and his total failure to even contemplate changing tack or accept any responsibility has meant he's not up to it. Oh and i thought this long before Poland.

Firstly, the overwhelming majority of fans aren't very clever. What the fans want shouldn't really matter.

Secondly, you answer your question to me yourself. He was doing all these things when we were robbed in one campaign and qualified the next.

All this boils down to a run of games that represents less than 10% of his total reign where we've drawn some of the best teams in the world (and arguably THE best team ever). Kerr should have been kept on because people should have been able to look past a few awful moments (seriously, the Israel goal out there was ridiculous) and see that we were tough, competitive and very close. Irish fans are impatient, demanding and unable to look past the last couple of games imo. Same as it ever was.

Kerr was a disaster, he threw away at least two games that we were winning well when he made negative substitutions that surrendered the impetus to the opposition. That is a cardinal error in international football.

In my opinion Trap has been trying to get fired for some time now. Its the only rational explanation for his behaviour.

Conspiracy theories again in this thread. Nonsense.

Enough of this s***e..

Get Joe Kinnear in...

We go from a manager who gives ramblingly vague press conferences to a manager whose press meetings are too foul mouthed to even make it on to tv. Great stuff :pac:


Any of you know of a very reliable linkage for live coverage? Have not used a link in ages online.

Too right. It got to a point under Kerr where conceding a lead was quite simply an inevitable. Personally I would rather keep Trap and his negative bollocks that usually pays off over Kerr anyday tbh.

But on the whole like, Trap out. Just not for Kerr!

Right folks, we're a few hours away from another important Republic of Ireland game so I'm closing this.
