Foot.ie Q&A Session - Stephen O'Brien
OK folks .... Its that time again, we have lined up another Q&A session....... We, the patrons of foot.ie are invited to compose questions on anything that ails us about our football league. If you have a who, a what, a where or a when about anything in Irish football then have been invited to pose such a question and have it answered by none other than Longford Towns goalkeeper, Mr. Stephen O'Brien.
Stephen 'Digger' O'Brien has stepped up to the plate and volunteered to shine some light where possible on some of the subjects of debate in Irish football, past, present and future. If you have a football query that keeps you awake at night, then a problem shared could be a problem answered. So get busy with that keyboard, as we’ll have a week to compile our questions and send them off to Stephen, who in turn will answer them and we’ll post up the answer in due course. The deadline for questions will be midnight 15st Nov.
All normal message board rules apply, no abuse will be tolerated and this thread will be policed and not foul play will be permitted.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Do you think switching to summer soccer has improved the standard of Irish football?

Given the perilous state of club finances throughout Ireland, do you believe that it is hypocritical of the PFAI to argue against the introduction of the salary cap, as proposed by the Genesis Report?
What do you think of the coaching standards and practices in our league ? (at all levels)
What needs to be done to improve the standards, by that i mean what do you think Irish players are missing, or do they fall down in just one area i.e. technical, fitness, management ?
Have you given any thought about coaching, have you any experience in it, are there certain aspects/areas that you would like to implement if you were to take up coaching.
What do you think of the training you got from schoolboys up to U21 ?
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
What do you think of foot.ie and do you not think your name on there(Dirk) is a bit silly?
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Can you see yourself managing in the future?
Does my bum look big in this???
Why did Longford overreact and try to fence Rovers in??? As in putting fences up around the away supporters when Shamrock Rovers played there! And what was your personal view on this??? Be honest now!

Sitting pretty!!!
do you think the licence scheme has worked, or have deficiencies in clubs' applications merely been glossed over?
Internationally, who would be your top rated keepers?
What is your opinion on the genesis proposal for the EL?
Foot.ie's entire existence is predicated on the average idiot's inability to ignore other idiots
You're are a true character in this league!! Do you feel we need more guys like you, up for a laugh!?
I'm a Bray fan and once shouted at you in the Carlisle to go up for a corner and use your height! You responded by waving back and smiling! But have you ever considered going up to help the strikers out in the dying minutes of a game?
Can you remember the best goal scored against you and by whom!?
In your football career, what was the best and worst moments you've encountered?
Who is the most underated player you have played with or against in your Eircom League Career??

Also, how did you feel when Longford got T.N.S in the UEFA cup?
Do you feel LTFC under estimated their opponents from Wales?
