I think his position is untenable at this point. We had a dreadful Euros and a terrible qualification. It's over. Time to move on.
Sure he's improved the rankings! Oh wait...Quote:

This is an absolute disgrace. Austria are a shocking side and yet we still lost to them.
Unacceptable.
He improved our rankings two years ago. That's all that's important. We all remember how we celebrated when we cracked the top 40 in the FIFA rankings... those were golden days.Quote:

I have to say I thought the ref was awful tonight, the Austrian defenders got away with a lot & how was that a free in the last min or so by Coleman?
Yeah this is Stan level of awfulness. He needs to fall on his sword, but of course he won't.Quote:

Eamon v Liam on RTE now!
Brady doing the accounts and saying Trap brought in more money than he lost for Ireland. €8 million for the Euros, minus €2-3 million on bonuses versus his salary of around €6m (plus Denis O'Brien's contribution). So basically our attendances are higher because of Trap... would anybody like to tell the thousands who've stopped going to games? Surely Mypost isn't buying enough tickets to compensate?
Add 'Turned Liam Brady into the FAI's accountant' to Trap's list of crimes.Quote:

feeble end to an awful campaign. sweden away aside it's been disastrous. a very lucky win in kazakhstan and two wins over the faroes.
1/10.
Ah Chippy - you dont have to defend him anymore, its all over.
How much is he being paid? He'll have to add that to the credit column on his balance sheet.Quote:

A disgraceful thing to say. Chippy, get your coat.
Dunphy talks some absolute ****e, hopefully he leaves at the end of the campaign also.
You've jumped the fence, baby.Quote:

As did IQuote:

Anyone fancy offering a live update of RTE for us nordies stuck in broadcast purgatory?
Dunphy and Brady having a fist-fight while Giles snoozes languidly?
Green was better than McCarthy to be honest and a deserved man of the match I feel. Still surprised they didn't give it to Dunne though after Friday. After a shaky first 15 minutes I thought he played well in the advanced position McCarthy usually plays when Whelan is in the team. I think the new manager will drop Whelan and Green, but I can admit he was our best player from a bad bunch.Quote:

I understand we'll now slip down to our lowest ever position in the FIFA rankings. Weren't we told we were going for the victory tonight? Why, then, did it look like Forde was instructed to dilly-dally with his kick-outs?
The substitutions were just unbelievable. Pilkington was playing well when Trap decided to replace him and was still offering us something down the wing. We seemed to capitulate after he came off and once that attacking outlet was extinguished. I don't know why Walters was left on the pitch, or why he was started out there in the first place, but that's nothing new...
Austria looked absolutely woeful in the first-half but had us hanging on for dear life in the second. What remaining good will I had for Trap before this game has quickly evaporated within the last half an hour there. Fair play to Coleman for nearly risking his life for us with the two outrageous blocks! One of the few things that actually impressed me tonight, that was; what heart.
Surprised Dunphy hasn't managed a dig at Ronaldo yet. He's in full-on Dunphy cliché mode.Quote:

In other words it's not gonna happen.
Trap - Not resigning anyway - wants to stay on for the next campaign
I think the guy streaming it had had enough, I would have like to have seen the post-mortem though.Quote:

We're heading for 14 points at best from this group. Worst in how long?
