Cyprus Vs Ireland Match latest thread

[GUISAUltra]

when i was in lansdowne for the holland friendly it was seriously depressing and i thought that it couldnt possibly get any worse but its so bad its unreal.

absolutely disgraceful

[sligoman]

Enough is enough. Staunton can no longer manage us, this is total embarassment. Not looking forward to the Czech's game, are we the next San Marino?:(

[blobbyblob]

Oh deadly - Alan Lee is gonna save the nation

[strangeirish]

I feel bad for the people that travelled to see this sh*te.

[sonofstan]

When Staunton goes, Delaney must go as well - it was misguided of Staunton to apply for the job in the first place, but Delaney gave it to him

[blobbyblob]

I feel bad for the people that travelled to see this sh*te.


could you imagine - wonder is paddy powre taking bets on booing at full time

[dancinpants]

I'd say Staunton will resign after this.

[Bluebeard]

Don't think that Croker is going to be all that full after all. FAI to investigate the Flansiro as a venue for the return leg.

[skitz3]

I feel bad for the people that travelled to see this sh*te.

I feel bad for some of them,the Lepregoons can f*ck off!

[Réiteoir]

4-2

Euro 2008 Qualification over then

But don't worry - Staunton said that this wasn't a "must-win" game


All hail the Glorious 4-Year reign of Steve Staunton - get used to performances like this - we're gonna get a helluva lot more of them

[cavan_fan]

3 specific causes of this disaster

1 - Not bringing Carsley which means we have no-one to break up attacks. This is due to Stan's inability to admit he is wrong.

2 - Only bringing 2 Central defenders he woudl actually play. Doherty or Paddy McCarthy coudl have come on at half time. You couldnt bring on McShane

3- Taking over a team in transition and then only playing 2 matches in the 6 months before you first competititve match. McCarthy could have 6 caps by now

[dynamo kerry]

This is as good a team as we've had.



hahaha -are you on drugs? this is the worst irish team since mcarthy took over and possibly for a lot longer

kenn no great shakes
duff hasn't been world class since 2003/2004


keane/finnan and possibly dunne are good enough the rest are unproven(ireland)/journeymen(kilbane)
it's a poor/average team and we're going to struggle for several years. especially as lack a midfield which exposes our avg. defence

face it anyone who is planning on not attending lansdowne for the next while will be joining those fair weather fans who turned up post 1988

I think the block booking waiting list may start to clear up a bit after today

here come the bad times

[sligoman]

5 ****ing goals. ffs:mad: :mad:

[Réiteoir]

Sorry - let me correct myself

FIVE - TWO

[dancinpants]

5-2 :mad:

[tricky_colour]

5....

[blobbyblob]

How many nails go into a coffin?

[cavan_fan]

anyone watching on tv how does Stan look

[Red&White Rover]

Were So **** Its Unbelievable!

[joema]

5-2!!!!!!!! I cant watch anymore! Unbelievable

[Réiteoir]

HAMMERED BY CYPRUS

Let me say that again

HAMMERED BY CYPRUS

For the love of God - RESIGN and take Delaney with you

[beautifulrock]

Oh my god, 5 - 2 to Cyprus. I never ever thought I would see the day. This is a DISASTER.

[GUISAUltra]

5-2 the nightmare gets worse

[sligoman]

anyone watching on tv how does Stan lookHaven't seen him, probably hiding:mad:

We are 40-1 to win the match now with PP, that's so embarassing I'm actually laughing instead of been angry.

[inexile]

im normally the most optimistic person in the world but i cannot put a positive spin on this at all

[skitz3]

At first i was laughing now i'm embarrassed!

[Red&White Rover]

oh, it just hit me.

we are losing 5-2 to a team who lost their last match 6-0 to Slovakia.

on another note, i blame TV3 for having bBran Kerr anywhere near the team.

[strangeirish]

You wouldn't fill a bingo hall after this crap. 5 feckin' 2. Get Stan out! Brutal.

[sligoman]

Dunne sent off

[cavan_fan]

just wondering if he's writing anything

[Marked Man]

Dunne sent off.

[Bluebeard]

Last result to come to mind that was so bad in a competitive match was 6-0 to Austria in Linz in 1970 or so, and that was a decent Austrian side. Is there anything to our performance? Any glimmer of hope? Or will I finally be able to get tickets for competitive internationals?

*********************
Allow me to correct that last statement - matches played for points. Doesn't look like we'll be very competitive under the new regime.

[inexile]

2nd yellow for dunne all we need is a gunman on a grassy knoll to top it all off

[beautifulrock]

Dunne off now, is this the worst ever

[Emmet]

Yeah - this is bad.

[Réiteoir]

I hear Whitehall is available for the next few games

glimmer of hope?? stan might resign

[GUISAUltra]

the whole set up should just pack up after this. if this keeps up we're not gonna qualify for anything for a very long time

[blobbyblob]

Im past the anger, vomiting and tears. Im on to laughter now.

[dfx-]

I had a feeling they could lose.........but 5-2

And with 20 minutes left...and ten men.

When was the last time Cyprus scored more than five a qualifying campaign?:mad: :(

(Oh and tuff paddy it does bother me, it's so bad I couldn't bring myself to watch it. :( )

[dancinpants]

We are officially minnows. Watch us drop down the ranking's after this spankin'. I can see Cyprus score another 1 or 2.

all the prawn sandwich types will move to rugby again

[Qwerty]

Please tell me we've been punked and this is all a very elaborate joke? Teams don't concede 5 goals to Cyprus, Cyprus haven't scored that many goals in a single campaign before?? Not funny, stop it now. :mad: :eek: :mad:

[sligoman]

Im on to laughter now.Welcome to the club:D. What's funnier is, how the **** can we beat Czech Rep now with Dunne banned and an even worse defence than tonight for it?:D

i think you'll be able to get tickets fairly easy after tonight, not one thing to take out of this game

[Réiteoir]

You have to ask yourselves one question:

Just how ****e were Sweden then?

4 Defeats in a Row

[SunnySweeney]

Delaney and Staunton - 2 gutteral gob-sh***s.

It's no wonder they got along so well

[blobbyblob]

one man in the box to aim for at 3 nil down.

****IN DOWNRIGHT DISGRACE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

PLAYERS, MANAGEMENT AND ASSOCIATION

[GUISAUltra]

theres always the world cup in 2018. we can try to set our sights for that
