We're not there yet, other game still on.

Don't think we're capable of beating both either.

Edit: Game over: Austria won 2-1

Francie Barrett

Depressing really, Robbie gets a hat-trick against the whipping boys so he'll go back to being un-drop-able. For the games that actually matter, I bet he will be completely ineffective yet again.

Winston Payne

Might beat Sweden at home. Won't beat Austria away.

RikkFlair

4 pts minimum needed against Austria and Sweden. Anything less and I think its goodnight Irene.

My god, the RTE panel are so deluded.

Where's Liam Brady tonight to stonewall for Trap?

Waiting for Dunphy's customary Brian Cody reference...

Are you the cyber effort of Liam Brady's analysis?

In what way? Actually spoke a lot of sense so far.

Mr.Nice Guy

This analysis is shocking. And why isn't Brady on the panel? This is biased and bitter stuff. Even Darragh knows it.

An excerpt:

Dunphy: 'Wilson had a shocker. But he was fearful tonight. He's not used to playing in this way.'

He plays for STOKE ffs.

Pray tell me who is then going to score for Ireland?

Also could you please give all these examples of his ineffectiveness?

In certainly not the best teams, still he is 5th top international goalscorer in Europe.

Loved it. Also, if Houlahan doesn't start against Sweden then it must be part of some sick joke Trap is playing on us. Best player on the park tonight, with ease.

Who are you wanting to see dropped to fit in Hoolahan? The captain who scored the hat-trick tonight?

DirkVoodoo

That panel have an agenda and it's not exactly subtle. Analyse the game and stop making it a soap box to get trap out. I expected better from sadlier but I reckon he is only on the panel if he plays ball. We aren't Italy or Germany, that's not an insult!

Nolars

Robbie keane: hopefully we can get results instead of goals.

Says it all really cudnt manage more than 3 against the worst team in europe.

Hopefully saw sense and dropped him because of his clear bias (or loyalty, call it what you will).

Are you joking? This is the most biased panel since the Questions and Answers show a few years back which debated the Lisbon Treaty with a panel of Yes supporters. :pac:

statss

so is the moanfest in full swing yet lads?

Lot of truth in what was said though. What would Brady have defended about tonight? Wilson was shocking though, both full backs had a strange performance.

In fairness Brady is biased towards trap, if you cant see that then I dunno..

I don't understand this forum sometimes.

Brady might have pointed out that the team could have hit double what they did if the players had finished better. That is hardly a fault of Trap.

He may also have pointed out one of the golden opportunities created was a move straight from the training ground for which the coaching staff merits some credit.

murpho999

Watching Trap''s interview.

WTF has happened to the lovely Manuela's voice, very deep and masculine!

Chin up dude. I know it's been a bad couple of weeks for the Trapp and Keano haters but September will roll along soon enough and you might get your way then. Hope not!!

Trap should tell that interviewer to **** off to some of the questions he's asking him.

Nolars

All i heard trap say something about the sun in there eyes?

aramush

Will someone please burn Glenn Whelans passport for the Sweden game and Simon Cox, you're next.

The lack of respect is frankly shocking. O' Donoghue is a total douchebag and - like most of the Irish football media now - is too heavily invested in the Trapp Out rubbish to turn back now.

Dunphy is just a troll

Who would you play alongside McCarthy?

Lennonist

I think Richie Sadlier want's Eamon's number on the panel, they were both Millwall players.

Mr.Nice Guy

Makes me sad to see a good man and manager and winner getting targeted for abuse by this RTE-sponsored hatchet job.

These bitter people do not represent me. Why can't we have a bit of balance on this panel, RTE?

Lennonist

Maybe Dunphy is grooming him:pac:

Why does Trap deserve any "respect" with his record and attitude?

Yes ok, great result for Robbie Keane tonight but let's not lose sight of the fact that it took us till the 2nd half to put any sort of authority on a game against the worst (part-time) side in Europe. The first half was dire!

Hoolahan pushed on a bit, Sweden will be there for the taking.

Long balls against the worst team in Europe is not good enuff. Cox on the wing when he is a striker and we have a premiership winger on the bench. And should of been more determined to score more than 3 goals against a bad team, it could all come down to goal difference and we are way behind.

He's on more than 1 million a year. If he's not doing his job right - which he isn't - he is due criticism.

Like these typical ****e questions like 'why take McLean off and not Cox?' None of his business. Agree pure angst towards removing Trap and very unprofessional. Whether he should stay on as manager, that's for the FAI clowns to decide.

His record is precisely why he deserves respect. A leviathan of the game who delivered us major championship qualification for the first time in a decade aswell as being minutes away from a second. The treatment by the Irish media is disgraceful.

**** them tbh, it's actually amusing. When they put the squeeze on with McCarthy he resigned pronto. Kerr was sacked soon after they got the knives out and they were able to ridicule Staunton.

For the first time in decades they aren't getting their way. They are confronted with a man who doesn't give a **** what they think and is in the job to the end of his contract and they are turning ever more bitter and childish as a result. Zero credibility.

Two failed footballers and a relic think they know best, surprise surprise!

John Giles was manager for long enough, how many championships did he qualify us for before he was sacked?
