QuoteAnd so what??
The planks at the IFA haven't contributed any of the previous 1,780 posts. But your point is taken.
We did beat Slovenia (higher ranked and away from home) in this series to be fair.
And so what??

Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh
Presumed you meant 'Saint' Martin who won't be appearing on your radar any time soon...
Part of the reason he left Celtic was the treatment he endured from 'fellow' unionists!
Would have thought it was more of a problem for someone have obvious literacy problems with any regular atlas...
Actually it's not. It's down to the usual ignorance and paranoia.
Masquerading as 'humour' in his case. Yawn.
Which UEFA/FIFA have examined and whose rules allow for. Like everyone else. Get over it, FFS.
Was "treatment" did he "endure" from "unionists"?

And this is what we sang...
Subtle incrimination in how we hear Armstrong accuses the FAI of tapping up players which is followed up immediately with "the FAI have been and approached and declined to comment." I think they could have dealt with one of the more contentious issues a bit better.
I find it interesting how the likes of Coyle and Michael O'Neill refer to how players from the North will find it much more difficult to get into the Republic squad because we have a wider pool of players. Have players such as Eunan O'Kane, Niall McGinn and Paddy McCourt not expressed their disgruntlement with not being selected for Northern Irish squads, even though they felt they deserved to be in those squads and teams?
Even your bubble of naivety isn't that detached from reality, surely??
Once again, your inability/unwillingness to answer a straightforward question hinders the credability of your assertions.Even your bubble of naivety isn't that detached from reality, surely??

Hmm, except even you are not that innocent.
A lack of communications with your own fans (pretty sure a good no. would know, given their general sympathies with Da Hun) and questionable spelling undermines your own credibility!
And don't give a damn about what you think of my assertions. Know exactly what you and your ilk are capable of being like when it suits....
You don't know me, so, therefore, you have no idea of what I am "capable of being like when it suits". That's a ridiculous comment.
Once again, you employ your trusty broadbrush.
I wonder how you and your fellow Bhoys would react if I referred to "you and your ilk" in the context of the vicious and vile child abuse administered by Celts fans at Tynecastle recently?
Anyway, Martin O'Neill left his Celtic post to care for his cancer stricken wife, Geraldine - nothing at all to do with "unionists".
You continually fail to back up your wild and spurious assertions - then hide behind gibberish.

No, as ever, you're wrong.
What I refer to was before Mrs. O'Neill was ill.
But you make no effort to find out the facts for yourself.
As ever.
I'm with NB on this one, I thought he left the job because of his wifes illness.
But I take your point, I think its unlikely he'll manage NI purely because Jose Mourinho would have no hope of getting that bunch of players out of their WC 2014 group. Pragmatic managers realise this and thats why its the likes of a Luton coach and a Puerto Rico Islanders managers are expressing an interest.
That's odd.
Allow me to remind you what you stated.
"Part of the reason he left Celtic was the treatment he endured from 'fellow' unionists!"
You're waffling again.
PS. I was previously unaware that Martin was a "unionist" - you learn something new every day.

The IFA couldn't afford to pay him, quite apart from anything else.
Magilton is EVENS with Paddy Power today to get the job.
My preference would be Brian Kerr.

Brian Kerr would be a superb manager. And seriously attainable. Always admired him as Ireland manager and thought he was extremely harshly treated by the FAI, since he was never Delaney's man in the first place.
I do wonder though, considering the recent acrimony (caused primarily by the IFA) between the two associations, would they offer "the southener" the job. Doubt it to be honest.
Kerr has Belfast links (a grandmother?) and his hypocritical schmoozing around the the eligibility issue should ensure his popularity at the IFA. Doubt they'd have a problem.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
In recent times, Kerr has enjoyed very good relations with the IFA.
He has spoken out vociferously on the "eligibility issue", although some view that as the poacher turned gamekeeper.
I think a reformed poacher might just make a very good gamekeeper.
I've met Kerr on a couple of occassions through the IFA - I've a lot of time for him.
He would certainly be affordable, and I believe he could do a good job for us.

Drinks, singalongs and plane ticket home in other words.
Poacher? Perhaps liberator or freedom fighter would be more apt.
Drinks and a singalong?
Can't do any worse than Nigel, that's for sure.
Unfortunately not.
He has guested and presented at various IFA events in Belfast in recent years.
