To be fair he has his eye on the ball and got rid of i'm in a timely manner .... is this the first time we have seen an instance where "the money talked and the BS walked"

THIS IS COMING FROM THE VERY TOP, IT'S NOT WHAT THIER LOOKING FOR, IF THERE IS NOTHING ON, PASS IT BACKWARDS DON'T TRY THOSE HOLLYWOOD PASSES, (looks/sounds very familiar just like the Irish team)
needless to say the kid never played for any Irish team, and has like so many others got so dis heartened he gave up football, this is why Trap has no players coming through the Irish under age set up, it is only when players have gone elsewhere, or come from Scotland and Northern Ireland that we get any creative players,
it's true what they say you reap what you sow

That's the longest sentance I've ever read.

Well we're gonna need to find out the name of this kid and get him back into football. He can start beside Wes in our new look midfield

Some different takes...

McDonnell's piece is very amusing; well worth a read.

Sky Sources: Martin O'Neill is FAI's first and only choice to succeed Giovanni Trapattoni as Republic of Ireland manager. More on #SSN

Our sources also say that O'Neill is interested in the job & the deal could be done next week #SSN

O'Neill would be the convenient appointment of least resistance.

I'd go for the long haul, the 3 man interview panel and a 200 page thread. It's a rare treat to have a new manager's thread, with posts on well trodden paths of references to Wikipedia stats to argue and counter argue about potential manager candidates that we can really only have a guess about.

Surely this is made up?

If not, the coach is an idiot. I can see the sense in teaching kids to hold onto the ball and that's to be encouraged. But you can't completely strangle creativity out of kids either.

I stopped at 'couch eats the head of him'. never seen a couch do that before
