San Marino v Ireland match thread

[ifk101]

Are San Marino the worst team in Europe?

No. We are.

No, we are.

[Adrianovic]

Chance after chance goes begging.

I'd wager this will be the most embarassing sporting result of my lifetime. And this is coming from a Nottingham Forest fan who was at the 8-1 game.

He can take most of the clowns on the pitch with him.

Never mind Staunton out, what about the muppets that appointed a manager whose experience amounted to putting out training cones and cutting the half-time oranges at an English lower league side.

Delaney out.

[fanatic]

Stauntons interview after the game will be.............. interesting

he shouldnt be allowed bak into this country !

[The Legend]

Lads, if he doesnt quit or is sacked... nobody should go to another f**king game... seriously... this is f**king footballing suicide.

[finn]

:eek: :confused::mad:

Pile of sh!te

worse than being beaten by cyprus

[republicofwhite]

You obviously havtn given Stan enough time. OK a year might seem a lot but considering we havnt played too many games under him we need to give him time. What good is it getting on his back, we all know the FAI wont sack him. Do you really expect a top performance with the team thats out. No Given, O'Brien, Kavanagh, Doyle etc. There are players to come back who will make the side better. Also theyoung players on tonight will get a bit of experience for them in the future

I'd say you're mincing your words now.At 1-0 it always felt dodgy, especially given our track record... And I'm not surprised its happened.:rolleyes: It was never a question of time, it was a question of calibre, and Stan has never had it. It's been a joke ever since he was appointed but its not funny anymore and we should all be fully justified in calling for his head. Get the whole fcuking regime out, this IS A NEW LOW. Forget Liechtenstein and Cyprus... You can't possibly get worse than this. I'm so thouroughly ashamed.

[Réiteoir]

Gentlemen

This is what your "World Class Manager" delivers

I rest my case

[Aaron]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss:D

[finn]

[Trainee]

[strangeirish]

Goal....

[liaml]

2-1

I can't believe it

[bholg]

scrappy dappy doo!

[cavan_fan]

i feel guilty for celebrating

[republicofwhite]

That was posted seconds before Ireland scored...But you get the picture. Not happy at all.

[GavinZac]

if that goal saves stans job i will be disgusted.

Eh???:D :D

[graham_d]

not sure whether to be pleased with that or not, the f*cker delaney will probably stay now...

[Réiteoir]

and now the whitewash begins :@

[ifk101]

That goal doesn't make any difference for me. Stan out, enough is enough!!

[cavan_fan]

good to hear the booing

[daithi]

Feel so sorry for San Marino..... Still go Stan...

[crc]

2-1,

oh and Stan, by the way, you can still f*ck off!

[lofty9]

I feel gutted for San Marino!! We are brutal.

[OneRedArmy]

Never in doubt.....!

Feel so sorry for San Marino.

Result doesn`t change anything, Staunton out, Delaney out.

[dancinpants]

2-1 against SM is still really, REALLY embarassing.

[cavan_fan]

That goal doesn't make any difference for me. Stan out, enough is enough!!

The difference it makes is that a new manager would have a chance of qualifying that he wouldnt have if we drew

[Irish_Praha]

A bitter sweet win - sweet = we won in the end. bitter = Stan will probably be still there next month.

[Fergie's Son]

Wow, wow are we blessed.

Staunton should go. Enough is enough. This changes nothing.

[finn]

to be honest, half of me is probably sad we won - would have been a sacrifice for the greater good.

the other half of me says I can never not want Ireland to win.

makes me wonder if the £200 the next two qualifiers in Croker are goin to cost me is worth it. if it wasnt for the flights booked, I would probably have put the invoice in the bin today

[strangeirish]

The time that was added on was generous to say the least. San Marino must be sick to their stomachs.

[Adrianovic]

Thank Christ (cos Stan and the players don't deserve it).

Ade

[GavinZac]

who can honestly say that cork city or derry wouldn't have beat that shower. and they'd probably beat san marino too

[Réiteoir]

referee played too much stoppage time

Rasmussen OUT
Delaney OUT
Staunton OUT

[Buller]

Out of jail or what lads?! what an embarrisment

[Réiteoir]

who can honestly say that cork city or derry wouldn't have beat that shower. and they'd probably beat san marino too

Even Bohs under Farrelly would have beaten both of them tonight

[daithi]

who can honestly say that cork city or derry wouldn't have beat that shower. and they'd probably beat san marino too

LOL I'm going to the pub....

[Dazzy]

Even Bohs under Farrelly would have beaten both of them tonight

Thats going a bit far now!:D

[ifk101]

Well when Stan does eventually get the sack he can't complain that it didn't have any luck.

[Buller]

who can honestly say that cork city or derry wouldn't have beat that shower. and they'd probably beat san marino too

derry city would hammer them

[Orangecelt]

Stan really has to go. No manager can stand over 2 such displays and not accept responsibility. Do the decent thing!

[Philly]

I feel sorry for San Marino.

Looking forward to Stan's post match words.

[The Legend]

Well when Stan does eventually get the sack he can't complain that it didn't have any luck.

Why oh why didnt that crazy guy shoot him outside the hotel when he had the chance... he must have been some time traveller from the future but got nervous at the last second!:rolleyes:

[tippex]

It kills me to say this but I actually hoped we wouldnt get the winner.
We were once again an absolute disgrace. I cannot believe how the team can show their faces.

Stan really has to go if we are to have any hope of qualifying for the world cup coz we have no hope of beating anyone the way the team is playing or set up. why he took so long to make changes especially when it was so bloody obvious his tactics (whatever the f**k they were) werent working.

I feel sorry for the San Marino team and also the poor sods who forked out to watch that tripe.

[Réiteoir]

I feel sorry for San Marino.

Looking forward to Stan's post match words.

"A 2-1 scraped victory against a load of bus drivers is an important part of this team's planning and preparations"

[republicofwhite]

I feel REALLY sorry for San Marino! Its so lousy, I'd have happily given them a win if it was guaranteed that Stan would f*%k off afterwards. What the hell was Henderson doing?! What a looper!

[liaml]

I actually fell sick. My heads spinning. Think I'll go and lie down.

[Sheridan]

Gutted. Didn't watch it but kept a casual eye on the score with increasing amusement. Manuel Marani was seconds away from joining Juraj Halenar in the pantheon. :(
