Faroe Islands v Republic of Ireland - 16/10/2012 - 19:00 - RTE2

Glad McCarthy got mom. He has been good and it should mean he will nail down that spot.

Amirani

I thought Walters deserved man of the match. McCarthy has been pretty decent though too.

Dempsey

mccarthy motm, correct call!

Latchy

1-4 takes the sting out of that 1-6 defeat and even better if the Germans score more against Sweden .

Mcgeady has been alright tonite. Lay off lads.

Keane
Andrews
Oshea
Cox

All far worse.

I agree. I try to get behind all the players. I do just have a dislike for mageady that I cant get over. So much promise but consistently disappoints.

On the flip side very happy with wilson and coleman

No that's 4 now for him. Plus he scored the Faroes' goal as well.

Jaysus, Meyler has lost some amount of hair....

The_Kew_Tour

David Meyler should score couple of goals.........with 2 minutes left:rolleyes:

Is Trap gone then after this?

miralize

Good win but I hope this won't cover up the deficiencies that this team has.

He didn't celebrate any of them though - he never does against his childhood idols.

Francie Barrett

Delighted with the result, some of the younger players showed just why they deserve to be in the team!

Have to single out Wilson, Coleman, McCarthy and Walters for quality performances tonight.

FatherTed

So how many has the second coming of Pele aka Shane Long scored so far?

He should be but given the spineless gimps in the FAI I doubt it!

4-1. Good win all considered. Onwards.

Still on route for 2nd

Gone back to Italy instead of the usual press conference in Dublin tomorrow.
That was the pre match story anyway. Who knows if there is anything in that?

Stadium MC has a sense of humour anyway :P

Well done Trapattoni.

Anyone

Might be more to do with the fact they are broke and cant afford to sack him.

Tragedy by Bee Gees being played now:pac::pac:

We have time to get qualification right with no games until March next year. A lot of problem areas to be fixed but a few friendlies coming up to sort it out.
Well done tonight Ireland.

Why?

Got us to the Euros.

Lost to two Euro finalists, Croatia and a Germany that is winning 3-0
Is that a sackable offense?

chupacabra

WITH NOONE BESIDE YOU YOURE GOIN NO WHERE!! TRAGEDY!!

Rather apt.

markie29

great performance in 2nd half,better attitude by the players and they played some decent passing football too.

murpho999

"Tragedy" rings around the stadium,

Is that what they're used to with their home games?

The_B_Man

LOL the PA playing "tragedy" after that loss.

Still though, deserves to be getting on earlier.

I can accept Keane (goals) and Walters (effectiveness) but Long could have comfortably been given more minutes here.

Not in the least ...the Irish defense is as weak as it ever was ,even against a weaker side like the Faroes .

recyclebin

I foresee Keane memes like the Terry one coming to a soccer forum near you soon.

Mr.Nice Guy

So Trap's lost the dressing room, yeah?

edgecutter

Well it's a good win and some good displays.

Odd brain fart from trap (cox who done nothing)

But one thing I want to point out is can we stop with all the mcgeady hate. I thought he was alright tonight, but every time he loses it we are on him like wolves.

Trap will remain in his job, which is fair looking at the table. March will decide his faith.

RoryMac

Hopefully now Trap can go out after a decent win, he's done well for us but taken us as far as he can.

This just papers over the massive cracks

5 months for the FAI to make a decision.

They better have a reasonable Plan B if they sack him though.

I don't want another World Class manager promised and then having maybe Gary Kelly presented as the new gaffer.

Diabhal Beag

Well done to Marco Tardelli for bringing the lads together.

eagle eye

McCarthy MoM is clearly based on his second half display only, he was awful in the first half.

I think Walters deserved it.

So while I wait for highlights, time to let other peoples opinions be used to form my own......

cgpg5

I really hope that guy from the thread fri night didn't go offering 7/4 on Ireland to anyone :P

Good win. Expected no less. The Faroes are a determined side yes but severely lacking in quality. Andrews was dreadful really, O'Shea was shaky under high balls and all in all we found it more tricky than we should dealing with set pieces. Walters mixed the good with the very poor. Great trier but some of his passing/decision making was woeful.

However, now I'm just gonna focus on being positive (we've enough to offer a negative view :P). We've got 6 from 9. Before the three games that's exactly what we aimed for. Sweden look to be very poor too so it's definitely not a stretch we can challenge for second. The right team was picked and hopefully that continues. Wilson was great tonight.

Onwards and upwards hey

It's not bad form its just nonsense.

I'm not happy with the way the FAI are running our national team (and league) and I am not happy with the way Trap is managing them.

It's this attitude of ''ah shur we always have to get behind our country'' attitude that is nonsense.

They have just beaten The Faroe Islands. I will repeat that, 'The Faroe Islands'. This in no way proves harmony in the camp or that Trap has inspired them. Premier league players should be beating part timers without any fuss on every single occasion in which they encounter them no matter who is in charge. A test of a manager is when a team meets another team of equal or greater ability. Not The Faroe Islands

It's called an opinion and it is my opinion, everyone is entitled to that, like the way you may think Tipp are better hurlers than Kilkenny - Yeah right;)

Now is the time to sack him,then the new manager could be in place for the up and coming friendlies,but I think this result might have saved Trap for now

Trap should say "Up Yours" in Italian.
