    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Note to Tets. Not every question is to be taken literally. As my daughter says, what do you get if you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

    Anyway, since JD assumed the top position what has been our best win? Slovakia at home?

    For a guy whose strategy is to focus on the senior team and hope the rewards can pay for the rest of the game, the senior team hasn't actually done that well. It's a bit like New Labour's reliance on the City to provide the tax revenues to pay for everything else. When the City blows up the strategy is laid bare. The same can easily be said for Irish football.

There is significant and long-term continuity between squads.

    How many senior internationals might we have had throughout the entire history of the FAI then? Around 600 or so?
    Sorry for dragging you off topic, lads. I mentioned it only because 1986 was the end/ start of an era for our teams, in obviously different ways.

    DI's right about continuity. Aaron Hughes has been around for nine qualifying campaigns, Roy Carroll eight. Nine of our current squad played regularly in Euro 2008 qualifying.

    PM for ya Danny

    I'm no political analyst, but isn't he the direct opposite of everything Labour stand for?

    Didn't realise, but this was actually front page news today. Seemed like such a minor report online.

    The Sunday Times reported Mr Delaney had visited local soccer clubs and a barber shop with Minister for the Environment Alan Kelly in his Tipperary constituency and urged people to vote for him.

    Independent TD Mattie McGrath said Mr Delaney’s canvassing for Mr Kelly was “highly unusual and inappropriate’’.

    Speaking in Dublin on Sunday, Tánaiste and Labour Party leader Joan Burton said if Mr Delaney was advising people to vote for Mr Kelly she supported that.

    She said politics was full of people from various sporting bodies who had particular political allegiances, or who expressed a particular political viewpoint about how somebody was doing, without it necessarily being party political at all.

    “I’ll say, really, that is a matter for John Delaney,’’ she added.

    Speaking on Newstalk, Minister for Sport Paschal Donohoe said what people did in their personal time was their own business.

    “I would be certain John, or anybody else involved in a public body, would not be using their public offices to advance any candidate,’’ he added.

    An FAI spokesman said Mr Delaney had no comment to make on the matter.
    The part about it being in his personal time is a bit laughable really.

    The only reason his 'personal time' is valuable is because of who he is professionally.
