Fair play to Dunphy cause i certainly wouldnt let Staunton drive the train to cork. On a serious note though he is speaking exactly how we feel.

People are forgetting thats it is not Stans fault. the root of the problem is a certain Mr Delaney of Merrion Square.
rio scores cracker for them
Fcuk it , I've to go to work. It's going to be a long night. Maybe it's just as well. Take my mind of the game.
Fooking Scotland winning 1-0 in Paris!!! We've far better players than them, but they've a good manager :mad:
Fair play to Brady for saying it was time for Stan to go, even if he's his mate and it hurts to say it
"great battlings (sic) performance"
"didn't start well"
"no time to reflect on the result"
"we're in a rebuilding process"
:shake my head:
Yeah you could see it wasnt easy for him. but its his job.Quote:

The influx of foreigners to the premiership is killing our hopes of allowing English football to develop our players. The government with our "soccer mad taoiseach" needs to invest in domestic soccer. The FAI needs to ensure this happens. The Irish people need to get up and start being real football supporters. If the domestic game thrives, the international team thrives.
Look at our players - in the past there would be no Celtic fringe (occasionally good) player like McGeady near the squad, there would be no League One player in the squad - Jack and Mick barely played Championship players ffs. We can not rely on the Premiership anymore
Stan is not the problem. He shouldnt be there but he is not the problem. Irish football is ROTTEN from the inside out. From the FAI to the barstool.
The solution? It will take years no matter what direction it goes. My suggestion - start supporting the domestic game. Not just the barstoolers - EVERYONE - the Govt., the FAI, everyone. Sure we may finish third seeds this time round but its not going to be any better next time round.
Well said.Quote:

As I've said before little things make a big difference, we could easily have had a draw tonight even with a sending off.
Shoudl Stan go? Only if a better manager is available and that doesnt mean John Aldridge, John Sheridan, Kevin moran or anyone of that ilk. The minimum would be O'Leary. Stan is an improved manager on the beginning of the campaign. Don't sack him then see who wants the job and end up appointing Kenny Cunningham.
Is it due to a weak league. In a way yes, but there is no shortage of talent in the Irish team.
To me the significant thing was Duff's injury. I think with Duff fit we'd have got 4 points (3+1).
