I think the petition will explain the motives well enough.
It is simply unacceptable the way things are going. His general disregard for everything (just read the petition and tell me if I'm wrong). If we beat Cyprus it will be no thanks to him (he'll be in the stands) and if we beat the Czechs, perhaps we should rethink the petition

forgot the petition link :o
Why don't you wait a week, things could look very different then.
You can wait a week if you like. I hope I will be wrong, but I honestly dont knowQuote:

Why does everyone get bothered about soundbites? The only thing that matters for me is how we perform on the pitch. I agree that this building for the future is nonsense and it is nonsense to say a point in Cyprus wouldn't be a disaster but I will judge Stan on how the team performs. End of.....
give him a chance -he lost to the 3rd best team in the world
he has crap players apart from one or two
Well saidQuote:

Also, Euro 08 isnt just something to blow off, its the 2nd biggest competition after the World Cup. Ill try to take my signature off I change my mind, but I dont think I will. Again, just because I signed it doesnt mean the team doesnt have my full support--or that I hope they will lose because I want to be right.Quote:

Secondly,i fully support this petition 100%
You want the manager removed after 1 competetive game,a 1-0 defeat to a team who finished 3rd in the World Cup.:rolleyes: At least wait and see how the next two games go.

Its hard to understand how a team which was capable of competing with some of the worlds best teams (remember brazil, argentina, france) in the last two years can be reduced to this. Its scary that our international management team consists of no one with any real management experience, with the exception of Pat Devlin, which is probably the scariest thing of all.
Dunne has just be sent off, its time for Staunton to go
this is beyond a joke...i'm almost in tears.
I'm old enough to remember the period in the late '60s early '70s when we hadn't won a game in 6 years and I don't remember anything as bad as this
bye bye stan
Time to go. Staunton out
Unless we beat the Czechs and beat them well I would agree.
We'll get a "battling" draw against the Czechs, and it'll buy Staunton more time....same auld sh!te.:rolleyes:
Terrible stuff.....lose on Wedneday and its Definitely Czech Mate for Staunton
That would be nothing more than papering over the cracks.Quote:

Id be glad to help
id never look for a managers head, and definitely not this early into his reign but my god he has to go doesnt he? if he has any pride in himself and the country he should walk and if he doesnt he should be sacked and frogmarched out of his office
Scotland beat France today, don't tell me they have better players than we do. We have had **** poor managers since McCarthy. Stan has to go today, but I don't hold him responsible, the FAI and Delaney in particular are the real offenders. Appointing a man with no experience of management and relying on an OAP to keep him from embarrassing himself wasn't a very smart strategy but maybe a cheap one and one which Delaney felt he could control completely.
Stan has no origianal ideas, all he has done so far is bring back Mick Byrne and some security guy to try an recreate the Jack era - wow f*cking brilliant!! Makes a fool of himself with the media with his 'you tell me' line; that may have worked for Dagleish but that was before Sky sports and 24x7 sports news cycle.
I found the calls for Carsley's call-up comical but Stan again put himself in an unnecessarily awkward position by publicly welcoming his availablity and then not calling him up when injuries struck.
His approach to Aaron Lennon was disgraceful.
Acting the egit on the sidelines when Houghton was being interviewed was a very clear indication of the twit we have as manager.
I've watched Ireland since 1981 and this must be the worst performance I've ever seen. What a pile of sh1te!!!.
I agree with ya Sligoman, EL players should be in the next squad.I don't think they would have capitulated liek today's hero's at all.
Adam Soper for Ireland manager.
Say what you like about Kerr but i doubt any of his teams would have lost 5-2 to any team in the world never mind CyprusQuote:

On that note, this thread should be closed and made a sticky to mark the death of Irish football
In an internet cafe in NYC, got my times wrong and thought it kicked off at 2.30, not 12.30. Thankfully, I missed the entire thing. I just can't fathom how we can lose 5-2 to Cyprus. I've always said that Stan deserves a full campaign and I stand by that but how a bunch of Irish players can presumably play this poorly against a weak team deserves explanation. That is a disgusting result.
at least its over now thank god, id love to go out on the beer but i have a match tmw!!!! scandalous
I think that it is his back, rather than his head, that most of us would wish to see.Quote:
