didnt see stokes did he miss it again - duff looks as if he coulndn't give a fcuk
Unreal the guy is leaving the hotel. How does one leave the hotel in committed manner.
yeah true...stokes was there seen a glimpse of him in the hotel..O'Shea looked relaxed and cheerful anyway so thats the main thing!!
it's a comment on his well known attitude to training and his fondness for a lie in- not on his commitment to the team etcQuote:

can't believe i wasted 2 mins watching that. what purpose does that footage serve again?
Did ya hear about Mick Byrne, jumping pn Robbie Keane when he was in bed to suprise him of his return before the sweden match...what an adorable little scamp!! id say he is always up to mischief
I think its a similar role to what Bez had in the Happy Mondays. Micks on "Vibes".Quote:

Damien Duff Interview:
He's officially Assistant Manager eirebhoy. There's a big difference. McCoist is a joker but he's also done his coaching badges and from what I hear is totally involved in everything.
The first clip, it's like an episode of Phoenix Nights, minus the dialogue
And Byrne is a physio. :) I don't know how qualified he is but Duff called him "the physio" in that interview above. I think Smith has McCoist with him for the same reason Stan has Byrne.Quote:

Isn't that the point though that he isn't a chartered physio and that role is actually performed by someone else?Quote:

He was involved with Galway footballers when they won the All-Ireland in 1998 so he must have more physio knowledge than how to use the magic sponge but he is not qualified.
Exactly.... What harm!! :rolleyes:
Too many sheep out there turning on Mick Byrne. You stick to your scrolling "Fail to prepare prepare to fail" screen savers. I'll wave at ye with my inflatable green hammer from the upper Cusack on Saturday.
I was having some sound issues with my computer, but can someone confirm what the question was that propmpted stephen hunt to say 'counting crows" (it wasnt by chance 'whats the most entertaing part of Stans training regime" )
What was his favourite band.....Counting Crows.
You could get the impression that he knows he will be playing on saturday.
Nonsense eirebhoy. No one can deny that McCoist is great for team morale and is a total messer but the fact that he's actively involved in training and tactics indicates he has an important role to play. Smith could quite easily have given Archie Knox or someone else the Assistant role as he has done in the past and still chose to have McCoist playing a lesser role just to have him around.Quote:

The "what harm" attitude is exactly the reason why we are failing.
If McCoist is a great coach then fair enough but I really doubt it. :)
We don't know that yet, he's only been doing it for a few months. :)
That just looks a big ad for Eircon and Bus Eireann to me.
the funny thing is that if Kerr had the foresight to bring in a 'Jester' or McCoist type character it may have saved him his job. in my opinion tactically and prepariation wise kerr was spot on, perhaps just lacking something in the 'improve morale' stakes. the fact that roy keane came back to the irish squad during kerr's reign shows a lot. it does point to an improvement in the professionism of the set-up - something i feel we have abandoned with the appointment of staunton.
the fact we are talking about players representing the nation at soccer needing a 'jester' or feel good merchant to be attached to the team is a damning inditment on the players.
