Not that I'd agree with them, but to be fair Ireland and most international teams are inferior to the top 20, say, club sides...
That and the fact that the end product is not exactly easy on the eye at times.

Just watch if Ireland or England have some success at the Euros.
But club football, it could easily be argued, draws way more youngsters into football. Maybe, nay, definitely not the case in Ireland but we are an exception as footie is seen as a national team thing as opposed to a local team thing in Ireland.
Plus, the clubs and accountants just don't really care about anything other than their respective bottom lines.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
