San Marino v Ireland match thread

Lads a result is a result. It was bound to be a scrappy game it being San Marino. I'm not worried about the performance, just as long as we win.

You are way too optimistic. Are you actually watching it? Its embarrassing and shameful, its basically shows us how woefully inept we actually are under this "manager" Its a reality check. McShane is dying to get on the score sheet. Whats the bets Alan O'Brien comes on for Duffer... That would be the cherry on my cake:rolleyes:

On a lighter note from bbc.co.uk

2052: The action resumes in San Marino. A win, or even a point, would see the Republic of Ireland climb above Latvia into fourth spot in Group F.

That would be some achievement

You obviously havtn given Stan enough time. OK a year might seem a lot but considering we havnt played too many games under him we need to give him time. What good is it getting on his back, we all know the FAI wont sack him. Do you really expect a top performance with the team thats out. No Given, O'Brien, Kavanagh, Doyle etc. There are players to come back who will make the side better. Also theyoung players on tonight will get a bit of experience for them in the future

I'm not watching tonight, but I am listening and I have seen most of the games under Stan's reign.

In a nutshell, I think he is an adequate to mediocre manager in charge of a derth of talent. We're awful, but I don't think any other manager on the shortlist would have got any other points barring the Cyprus disaster.

Wow, you are really a glass-half-full kind of person...

Could someone tell me any of Staunton's redeeming factors? A retarded monkey could do better than that fool!

This'll go down as one of San Marino's best results EVER, just second behind their 1-0 win over the mighty Liechtenstein.

Staunton has been very, very poor. I have yet to see anything that impresses.

Walk me through what he has done right?

1-1:(

:o

SACK STAUNTON!!!

SWEET FANCY MOSES!:eek:

Please leave Stan.

Oh no.

This is unreal.

He HAS TO BE SACKED. HE MUST GO.

Enough is enough.

Jebus wept !! :eek:

What a joke:mad:

I'll never live this one down.
