So where are all the Staunton Apologists that seemed to be shouting from the rooftops on here the past few months?
To quote Delia Smith at Norwich that one night:
"Where are you? Where are you? Let's be having you!"
I have no doubt that Staunto cares about it
I also have no doubt that he is a clown and is way out of his depth
I'm officially throwing my hat into the ring for the national job,i've no managerial experience but that makes no difference!
Total f**king disgrace. All those players and most of all Stan should hang their heads in shame.
I was one who wanted to give him time before but Stan just has to go. If he had any dignity he would resign. He says we're building for the future - but in order to build for the future we need a manager who knows what he's doing - who can organise players, who can motivate players.
Only a convincing victory by 2 or 3 goals against the Czechs can save him and lets face it that's not going to happen. Slán Stan :mad:
Never mind him getting the sack, he might end up getting taken away in a sack if he doesn't leave.
If he cares about his country then he should resign now.
Kerr's competitive record speaks for itself, while not appalling it marked a clear decline from the standards set by McCarthy and Charlton.Quote:

I saw a newspaper article recently when Alan Quinn was called up which referred to Ireland's 'famous' win in the Amsterdam Arena, maybe we should just focus on friendles from now on?
Can't wait to hear what Staunton's excuse will be...the climate probably:rolleyes:.
Worst performance I've ever seen by Ireland:(
I'm a staunton fan - I'm not so sure it is just his fault.. the irish side have been rubbish since moscow in 2004 - paris aside mind you
the players bear a lot of responsibilty too.. these guys play at a level every week.. they didn't even work well on their own.. it's not like they've never met before either.
in short everyone is to blame but we're not that good anyway
I'm certain. no matter who would be in charge we are some years away from qualifying again

The Irish dressing room door is shut...surprised? Nope
I hope they get an interview with Stan!
I'm annoyed it wasn't on RTE to get the views of Giles,Dunphy and Brady!
the argument about being good is besides the point, the managers job is to organise the team, to get them playing as a unit, to make them tough to score against and threatening going forward. has staunton done that?
otto rehagel did that with a very average greek team to win euro 2004
jesus lads this is the most i have ever seen on this site at once. lads do anyone know where i can get a cyprus jersey?
Cyprus are ranked 109th in the World & 10th worst in Europe. Thankfully we have San Marino in our group as might get no points.
Shocking organisation (managers fault) & some terrible individual performances (not necessarily the managers fault).
Staunton as predicted is out of his depth. International football not the place to learn your trade. Getting suspended in germany only made it worse as had to insert assistant with zero management experience.
:rolleyes:
i am depressed, amazing this a shocking result, oh and there is 133 viewing the Irish Forum, must be a record
Kerr OUT!
there's been organised and then there's just been inept at doing what you should be good at..
the players have a lot to answer for in my book. schoolboy errors for the most part= a lot of these players hav had 100s of games to know how to behave in games and they looked like they never met each other until 5 mins before the game
I've been drinking and it doesn't make it any better
I'm lost and in despair :(
Come Out Stan - I Want Answers Now

I hear McGeady won MOTM on the TV? Why do they not just say "look lads we've been ****e the wee lad from Cyprus is MOTM!"?? I mean FFS for anyone to get MOTM when we lose 5 is embarassing.
When your defence and centre midfield is as poor as what we have its impossible to be a decent team even if you had Cryuff and Platini on the wings and Pele and Maradona up front.
stan has to cpme out and do an interview. if he doesn't he is a coward
The lads from the RTE panel should make an emergency broadcast
WHY? HOW? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
I feel sick
Not 100% correct, he was Irelands man of the match. TV3 were running a competition for anyone who agreed with Kerr choice for Irelands MOM.Quote:

And Kerr prefaced by saying the real MOTM was obviously a cypriot. gave it to McGeady for workrate, himself and Duff the only workers...Quote:

its just a disgrace. i agree staunton has to go but who will want to manage ireland now???
They should have called it Irelands best player. MOTM implies the match i.e. all players.Quote:

Cyprus were 15/2 before todays game. I hope had some money on...
I'll do it, I've won the Champions League with Cork, Rovers, Shams and Shels.
CRUMP
The sound of the wheels coming off the ole ole bandwagon.....
Looks like its back to the hardcore. Maybe now I can get a ticket.
i thought i saw it all after the irish bird sung the english national anthem
It is not often that a catch-phrase becomes superceded in an instant, to 'have a Macedonia' has now been replaced with to 'have a Cyprus'.
Our whole psychology has changed irrevocably today. It's like the first time you are kicked in the nuts that you truely understand pain and what you thought was pain before wasn't anything. A generation has lost it's innoccence today.
This could spark an economic downturn, I kid you not.
For the next 10 years we will be reminded that we lost 5-2 to a team of players not one of which could be named by a football expert on Mastermind.
And I'll never be able to go there on vacation again.
Why cant Matt "Lets look at the positives" Holland, just admit we were ****ing ****?
Staunton should count his lucky stars this game was not on RTE. Dunphy would have had a field day.
i am soooooooooooooooooooooooo depressed. talk to me
I work with two Germans. Not looking forward to work next week, trying to explain that.
I am sorry to hear that. I hope you well paid.Quote:
