From not qualifying to qualifying = new level. You seem to have a hard time grasping this.

Long said trap took Irish football not the Irish senior side to a new level. You seem to have trouble grasping this.

He took us to to a level above for his first two qualifying campaigns when the players believed in his system and we had some decent,experienced players available,and accordingly we looked very organised during those two campaigns.

The performance at the Euro's obviously knocked that belief out of the squad,and that alongside our most influential players getting older and some retiring, has resulted in this qualifying campaign being very poor.

So Long is right in what he said,and I'd take his word over some of the Paul Hyland/Eamon Dunphy level ''Trap killed Irish football'' type hyperbole that has been spewed by a fair amount of posters on here,including the OP.

Spot on.

Irish issues are a car crash here. Far worse than a Liverpool/man U match. All sorts of rubbish posted.

In short ... we were horrifically negative but ultimately got good results for two campaigns. In the end the Euros were a disaster and we were shown to be a poor team with outdated tactics. Trap's Ireland never recovered from that.

Was just waiting for you to thank me for teaching you a few things.

Shane Long seems to be taking the Kevin Doyle route to mediocrity. His attitude and efforts on the pitch for the past two games was very poor.
Both of them made their name by working their backsides off as unfortunately they aren't blessed with Robbies puzzling ability to score when he is the worst player on the pitch.
Yet both seem to have gotten to a point in their career that they think working their ass off is below them.

Long just seems low on confidence atm,still thought he worked like his usual self.

Doyle hasn't played in months for Ireland,mainly because he's playing 3rd division football due to no other club being willing to match his current wages at Wolves,so don't get the criticism of him.

It just goes to show how out of touch that some of these players can be with the rest of the people.

This is the most ridiculous comment I have ever heard on the internet.
Long out of touch with the people?? Long is part of the team...he knows more about the set up than anyone else for gods sake!

Too Tough To Die

That boy isn't too bright. Trap has left us in a bad way.
