I get that point of view but who made the biggest blunder in that whole episode? Delaney by appointing Stan in my opinion. Its not like Stan wasnt trying, he simply had NO EFFIN EXPERIENCE!! A sackable offence to hire someone like that in any other industry, Delaney can count himself lucky/untouchable...
What's Stan's pay-off got to do with anything? He's fully entitled to have his contract honoured, and I'd rather the money go in his pocket after he'd tried his level best than in the pocket of some FAI suit.
Where is Steve Finnan, incidentally??? Did no one sign him this season at all??Quote:

Also, seeing Charlie Hurley at no.22 reminded me that during Premier Soccer Saturday on RTE a couple of days ago the commentator mentioned that Niall Quinn was sitting next to David Miliband (UK Labour party) at the Emirates. Unfortunately the commentator could recognise an English politician but didn't know that the chap Niall Quinn was talking to in the row behind was the legendary Charlie Hurley. Charlie is the older gentleman just behind Niall - delighted to see him still going strong.

Cas never played in World Cup '94 if I remember
*edit* I take that back, he came on as a sub against Holland late on. Didn't have much of an impact though that late in the game
or read as "I'd rather the money go in his pocket after he'd tried his level best than in Irish grass roots football"Quote:

Steady on! I know there were rumours but.....Quote:

who's gonna be the top ten? I have these:

can't believe given is not in top ten
I think top ten and actually top 10 for positions is very different.
its the overall top ten hence why you can understand why given might not be there.
Lawrenson was 24. If that's any help. ;)Quote:

Can't complain too much with that line-up but personally I would have had McGrath at No.1. I still think Shay has done enough to overtake Packie as well.Quote:
