The shambles that was Stauntons appointment?
The shambles that is Stauntons continued employment?
The shambles that is the FAI?
The worst Irish performance in living memory, despite having a team worth approx 100million v a team worth, um €10000?
Stauntons AWFUL attitude?
Could you celebrate that win Northsiderkid? Seriously! Worst performance ever.

Have you forgotten the fact that his team went missing when they were roughed up a bit early on
the pitch was a big factor in early misses
A jack charlton long ball team would have scored 10 but I hoped we had moved on from that.

ah, i didnt realise northsiderkid was part of the irish diaspora in scotland. i thought he was just part of the target market being squeezed!

he supports an Irish team & has an affinity for one that represents the diaspora-whats your problem with that??
James Connolly was part of the Irish diaspora in Scotland & Irish people welcomed his actions

because im guessing his "support" for an irish team extends to having seen them play deportivo on telly once. any fan of irish football can not condone the rubbish that merrion square has been foisting upon football in ireland

Lads getting sidetracked .. ignore the troll.
Lets set a date and time. If 200,000 can turn up to celebrate the team coming home why can't a sizeable number of people turn up and make a peaceful protest. I'm sort of guessing people don't do protests anymore,.. all doped up on TV and ipods, but you never know.

Should be supporting Hibernians then....seeing as though they were the first 'Irish' team in Scotland.

Any protest should happen at Ireland's last training session, before the Wales game. The players need to know how strongly we feel about all of this. The FAI couldn't give a monkeys, so there's no point protesting to them.
Has Alan Hunter been on RTE today yet?
:eek:

I see where your coming from about letting the players know how much they are letting the supporters down but it could cause i bit of disruption so close to what will be a massive game. At the end of it all, it is imperative we win our next match !!:ball:

one of the lads i was with watching the game yesterday shouted 'Sh1t' when Ireland scored the winner, i turned to him and said 'come on we would of been a laughing stock if we drew with them' to which he said 'that goal means we have to put up with stan as da gaffer and delaney for at least another year' to which i replied 'surely people won't be that stupid to think 3 points won like that is good enough?'. i thought that it was actually a win-win situation - we got the points and stan's position would be unteniable.
unfortunately i was wrong. maybe i should not of been cheering on the boys after all. :rolleyes:

In reply to GavinZac and his protest idea.......
Yeah really demoralise them before this historic game, i don't think so, they know the were pathetic and will have to up their game 100%, my big problem is the mangement and his spin on a crap performance, i would have respect for him if he had of came out after the match and said, that was unacceptable performace by the players and we will be working on some serious issues to put it right for the next big game, but no we all know what he said. Bullsh1t.

Like they did after the Cyprus debacle? Didn't take long for them to sink back to their natural level...a lot of those players need a major wake-up call...
Remember to bring this...
