he did, the fecker.Quote:
we're third in the groups lads......!!! haha. Surprised he didn't use that beauty
San Marino are a gonna be handful in this group!! FFS I thought id heard it all but that just takes the biscuit. I was on the floor laughing at stans interview. It was either that or cry. The man is a joke but its not him i blame its delaney for appoining the clown in the first place.
hilarious interview. S Ireland got us out of a small hole? Hmmmm
Stan is our version of Graham Taylor. I hate to say I told you so but even as far back as when we beat Sweden I was saying things were not been done properly.
We should march on Merrion Sq 7pm tomorrow. Email everyone including the papers and radio stations, put the word out, get Delaney out! Stan is the FAI's cheap inexpensive scapegoat. They promised us a "world class manager". If we keep Stan in charge we will be doing Croke Park a terrible injustice!! They even put on the ticket applications that they must be paid in full by the close of business on Monday coming. I would not like to be a fan flying home from San Marino into Cork on Saturday or Sunday!! They keep ripping us off and we let them away with it, MARCH ON THE B*STARDS!!!
I do think if he had any dignity he would walk.
"We're normally strong in March."
I know Glenn Hoddle was spiritual, but is Stan seriously seasonal?
It should never be a gamble playing San Marino - some good men were probably very close to losing their homes tonight.
"I can't legislate for what's going on at the moment." - You're the manager, that is YOUR job.
And why didn't the interviewer say anything for the whole interview? Did he choke on his fist giggling?
That's it, before tonight I thought he was unfortunate to be in charge of such a poor Ireland team, but you run through it and you've got:
- A player playing for one of the richest clubs in the World.
- A European Cup winner.
- A European Cup semi-finalist.
- A man once valued at £17m.
- A man who has spent virtually his whole career in the Premiership.
- One of the Premiership's top scorers of not long ago.
- The winner of two fan's player of the year votes at an established Premiership club.
Something's wrong, very wrong.
This was nothing but a rant, it says everything I feel though.

A decent LSL side would have beaten San Marino. The buck stops with Delaney.
Heeeellllllloooooooo!!!!
Braindead people what can Stan do????
Do you expect him to sh*t good players????
Hes doing well with the rubbish players he has
Our players went missing as soon as San Marino roughed it up a bit
Have a go at them its not Stans fault he is rebuilding!
You are all muppets!! You sound like england fans get over it and move on
That 'interview' was just sad, the performance was criminal.
I don't buy the **** players tag, a little maybe, but not that much.
The fact is it was professional footballers who with few exceptions ply their trade at the top of one of the best leagues in the World.
They played people that might serve them drinks, paint their house or sort out moving the huge wad of cash they have accumalated.
You can say our players were **** when we lose to a roughly comparable nation, but with a population of 30,000 (of which only half would be men, and less then that would be of a football playing age), then you cannot argue the point.

Most nonsensical post I've read yet. Are you Stan or Delaney in disguise? Despite your "original" point of view, You're hopelessly outnumbered. The man is joke, and unfortunately thats been established for quite a while now. Its not like we have to select players from league 2, like NI and Wales.
actually I advise he does
Might give him a dose of reality
Oh you're bugging me.Quote:

I can't stand fans like you. Have you ever heard of decent/high standards? Pride?
Are you Staunton?

all bases covered then :D
i was embarrased when we couldn't beat killester in the showgrounds. killester are better than san marino yet stan seems pretty pleased with his 3 points. so how much better does that make rovers than our national team?Quote:

Sign away :D

well well well....its just a case of chickens coming home to roost for the "give him a chance " brigade....:rolleyes:
but seriously....late on I was kinda hoping san marino would grab a goal just to hasten stauntons exit but when they did score I was kinda embarressed for my country. so thank god for stephen ireland. Delaney needs to go. Staunton needs to go. we have too much potential at the mo just to throw it away....scraping past san marino is not going to do any of these lads any good. whatever about building for the future. bring in an experienced coach. lawrie sanchez should be approached. Im not implying we are a step up from northern ireland at the mo. cause we aint. but we might have more cash than them. so we should chance our arm.
My brother in law was so disgusted he was on his feet cheering on San Marino towards the end.Most of this team were in front of a desk doing their office jobs today yet they were unlucky not to get a result against our millionare superstars today.Come to think of it our squads collective earnings are proably higher than Germanys.To think at the end of the 13-0 defeat to Germany the SM players were begging Leahman not to take a penalty which would have emphasised the farcical gulf between the two teams.All this week pundits have been saying that teams like SM should not be in these groups because they have no chance of getting any kind of result.Oh god I feel perplexed,embarresed and disgusted.

if anyone is interested in buying money, ladbrokes ofer 16-1 Ireland win none of the first 4 rugy and football matches in Croke Park, or 9/2 they win one (the rugby boys might get a result). Rugby fixtures are againt England and France, and football against Slovakia and Wales
I was just think, if Stan's contract was up tomorrow would it be extended? No chance. Surely that's reason enough to get rid of him. Obviously if they're stuck for money I could understand but they're hardly broke and it's essential we get a new manager in.
What team in the world other than Ireland would allow this to carry on? I can't believe a guy like John Delaney has control over this. :(
All we need now is RTE to interview that b****x Alan Hunter for his views on Staunton, and that'll be the icing on the cake of a great few days. And no doubt they will....
The fans have to be vocal and call for his head. Anyone got email addresses for the sports desks/journo's at the major newspapers? We could do with bombarding them, and the FAI, to show our disgust. Staunton is literally a joke...
By the end of next week at the latest. Delaney will probably hang on a bit longer. New manager could be anyone. I predict it will be O'Leary but hope not.
November 2009 at the earliest.
Too many vested interests for Staunton to leave. He should but he won't.
He's a disgrace.
It's John Delaney that should account for more of this. Who on this board welcomed Stans appointment? We all resented Delany if I remember correctly and that still stands....
Though I never expected this!!
Kerr out!
Two petitions now .. brilliant. We're no better than the FAI in organising a protest. If 200,000 fans or more can turn up to welcome the team home, then a quarter of that number can converge on Merrion Square in a peaceful protest and demand change. Set the date and time and turn up. Petitions are not going to do anything.Quote:

Is this guy for real?
it wont work, as you said it involves too much thinking. irish people like to be told what the big event is, and then go there and drink. maybe if it was broadcast on sky some of them might watch it.Quote:
