This is probably bull**** but had to post. Trap applying for the vacant Blackburn job. http://www.blackburn.vitalfootball.c...e.asp?a=296068

**DannyInvincible** · 09/10/2012, 1:16 PM

Why would Trap apply for the Blackburn Rovers job? He's on a very good wage with the FAI and doing lot less than would be expected of him than if he were managing a club.

No quotes from anybody so sounds like bull**** but he is 20/1 on Skybet for the Blackburn job. Mick McCarthy at 9/4 and Roy Keane 10/1

They can take him. I'll have my fingers crossed anyways.

yes, maybe we could do a swop and get Steve Keen in instead of Trap? Thats the quality of manager we will have when Trap goes. 3rd and 4th in the group again each time.... how i've missed those days too

**Noelys Guitar** · 09/10/2012, 1:45 PM

Owen Coyle just got the boot from Bolton. I bet Roy Keane gets this job.

**nigel-harps1954** · 09/10/2012, 1:46 PM

In fairness, I'd take that.

**Charlie Darwin** · 09/10/2012, 1:48 PM

As much as I'm a Trap fan, I wouldn't be too upset if an EPL club came in and gave us a lovely big pay-off for him. That said, the FAI would probably screw it up and end up paying Blackburn money.

I doubt Steve Kean will ever get a big job again

**Bungle** · 09/10/2012, 2:40 PM

I can't see how Trap would leave the cushy number he has with us for Blackburn. Has to be bull****.

I am far from happy with some of the decisions that Trap has been making lately, but I would agree with the sentiments raised about what calibre of manager we will get when he goes. A part of me would like change and then the other part of me recognises that we will end up with someone like Dave O'Leary or some 3rd rate British manager like Mowbray.

Did anybody read the article in the Irish times? Really interesting. It just spoke about the difference between Trap when he managed Bayern and then a number of years later when he was at Stuttgart. Massive difference in his desire to work with players, especially the younger ones. Ex players from his teams at Juve, Inter and Bayern all speak so fondly of him and have that loyalty, but there doesn't seem to be the same bond with the players in the more recent teams he has managed.

So either you say Germany have never lost or you give the caveat that East Germany most likely lost a lot of games

Take a deep breath there and relax. There's more important things to get your knickers in a twist about.

**TrapAPony** · 09/10/2012, 3:02 PM

I'll happily drive him to the airport

**Stuttgart88** · 09/10/2012, 3:04 PM

I see Schweinsteiger is demanding more respect for this German team.

He obviously hasn't read the predictions here!

You have to admire his optimism: http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soc...325086758.html

Agreed. I'd be surprised to see anything other than this happening with the comments that have been made.

He cant really say anything else though or risk accusations of lack of ambition. I'd say they'd give away their age-old, secret bolognese sauce recipe for a draw.

The only way we'd get anything out of this match with a line up like this would be if O'Shea can do his best Dunne impression and we salvage a 0-0 or maybe get lucky with a fluke goal. Personally, I'd take McShane over O'Dea any day.

based on what international performances exactly?

Maybe El-Pietro has a nationality complex and is from East Germany, its understandable he might be upset.

His knee looks like it is about to come off.

Is our injury list that bad that our assistant manager has to take part in training games?
