Free at last.

Just looking at the SKY pictures from the Mansion House, both Stan and Bobby looked about 10 years younger. Probably we all looked 10 years younger then.

I dont think he will be at the conference. I would say he is well on his way back to Walsal or wherever he lives in the UK.

It's a rare individual that would not take the payment Stan is taking. There are those posting on this board who may be some of those rare people. However, I think it is important to recognize that the vast majority of people would take the payout. If you accept that premise, then blame must be focused on the FAI for not setting up conditions in which such a payout would be unnecessary by doing their contract appropriately up front. It's not like Stan had a lot of leverage after all ... what was he doing, coaching in League One? You could have written almost anything into that contract and the dude would have signed it to be manager of Ireland.

I agree. Delaney has to be asked why hegave Stan a 4 year contract with no pre-conditions. And this carry on tonight with no official comment yet is another own goal for the FAI.

He ended up as manager of Dundalk after being canned from Ireland in a recent Football Manager session I played :)

I live 15 mins from the airport, I'm half tempted to go up there and drag Delaney out to get the press conference kicked off

Its an absolute joke, if this is some attempt at putting one over on the press then it is pretty illconceived.

Had to laugh when Bill O'Herlihy asked Dunphy what he thought about the FAI's actions regarding the press and the press conference and Dunphy goes; Bill you are in PR, what do you think about it. I thought that was funny anyway.

Yeah, they are really ****ing me off at this stage. This better be dramatic for the time that I've wasted.

It really shows that the Delaney and the FAI are living in their own loony disneyland. Holding a news conference in the early hours of the morning. Why? It's insane stuff. And these are the same people who are to choose the new manager. FFS.

I'm going to go out on a limb here - I harbour no ill feeling whatsoever towards Stan. He was completely incompetent and deserves the sack but I will remember him for leading us out in our first competition I can properly remember (I was a bit too wee for USA '94!) and for being a good servent to Irish football as a player. I have no doubt he did his best, unfortunatly it was not close to good enough.

And to all you who say you wouldn't take the payoff - fair play to ye. A contract is a contract - if it is severed early, you are entitled to the payoff. We all know that to support the FAIreland team is to be ripped off and buttf****d on a regular basis, yet we do it anyway, because we're Irish and we're odd that way.

Can't say I'm not delighted though. Onwards and upwards.

Staunton is long gone from the meeting, so why the delay with the press conference, wielding their limited power I'd say.

na a plate of cocktail sausages came out and noone is leaving until they are finished, they aren't happy as there are no goujons or spring rolls;)

It looks like that the delay is regarding the pay off and Kennedy negotiating with the FAI and playing hardball with them. THat has been the delay.

Tony O'D is on the warpath. He is claiming that they are still negotiating Stauntons payoff, holy crap Staunton take your 30 pieces and move along.

I hope those press tv/radio guys are freezing their balls off standing outside the Crowne Plaza. :)

Delaney and co. are either in the bar, watching a re run of MU in the CL or are tucked up in bed. :D

Are the current bulletins just recorded? Makes sense, not like there is usually major breaking sports news in the middle of the night. FAI take note.

SSN's last live bulletin is at 11pm. From 12-6am is repeats only, no matter what's going on. Sky News are the only ones on live until then.

Sky just run the tape loop all night.

Nothing on RTE news on the hour, now it's back to music for insomniacs and seriously drugged out jazz lovers.

I'm off to bed, I'll say a prayer for those hacks being tortured out there.
