Louth in Croker
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

Triple Header. I think you should talk to Den about his with Himself, His Bird and Stan during WC 1990.
you once had a girlfriend? its been a long time since you got down to it then -that could explain all your frustration ?
Only once? And in 1990. No wonder you've so much pent up frustration & anger.
Your all entitled to your opinions on the new manager but you should never lose sight of the fact that there is only one man who can give the Irish fan's thumbs up or down to this appointment.
So what are Alan Hunter's thoughts on all this?!!!

Oi!!! we will have less of that
Ill let you know that Staunton DID play for louth in Croke park at underage level.
Go on Stan do us proud
I suppose there was no message of support from Roy Keane read out at the press conference?
...from who???!!
"Inflatable hammers and Leprechaun suits, & a chorus of "Here we go" or Olé, Olé"....
Yeah I dont think Roy Keane and Bobby Robson get on.
In Trap we trust
Something about an argument over the last prawn sandwich at Michael Kennedy's Christmas party
"Inflatable hammers and Leprechaun suits, & a chorus of "Here we go" or Olé, Olé"....
Don't you think it would be a wonderful gesture from Roy to the new manager wishing him well in his new role and if he is ever stuck for for a CM...
"Can I have a Kit-Kat, chunky?"
"you mean a big one"
"No a normal kit-kat you fat bitch"
Just when it was all startin' to sink in, and I was beginning to relucatantly accept it (I was warming to the idea of the 4 of them going to different games at the weekend, Stan saying he's open to Trundle and the eircom league, etc.), I watched the press conference...
...couldn't string a sentence together between the two of them
kinda the way I felt on hearing the press conferance on the radio when I got home....was like a bad priest saying mass. Staunton comes accross very badly as a public speaker...
I agree with you and I made reference to his boring monotone on a previous thread. He doesn't have any BUZZ about him. He doesn't inspire and has no tactical experience. In the end he brings nothing to the table.
Ultimately I feel he will fail to motivate the players and the Irish public. The press conference today was dismal and depressing. Unless Staunton gets off to an immediate winning start they will get worse. The media enjoy a bit of banter. Staunton doesn't have it. The media will soon lose patience and kill the poor sod off.
Handy money though. Even if he fails, it will not be the worst thing that happened to him.
Not sure how you can make the leap from "not the best public speaker in the world" to "failure at international mgt" but anyway....
Think Stan was (understandably) a bit nervous but after the press conf. he was cracking jokes with some of the media during one-on-one interviews - the lad is well capable of handling himself!
As for the boring monotones etc....try a comedy club for comedy - I'm looking forward to a successful mgt and good results

Was anyone else bored to tears listening to him?
I hope the plan is to have Bobby in our dressing room, giving the team talk and Stan in the opposition dressing room, putting them to sleep.
The sooner the football begins, the better because this is depressing stuff.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Agree with you on that one!

I did actually
He was my choice because (a) He had managerial experience and some success; (b) He's an ex-Irish international; (c) He would bring passion to the job and (d) I don't think there would be the same negatively surrounding the appointment. I just don't see what Staunton possesses that he doesn't and he should have been interviewed by the FAI out of courtesy even if Delaney had made his mind up.
On a positive note: Appointment of Charlton not widely applauded and he was a success; appointment of Kerr widely applauded and he failed. Staunton not widely applauded and he will be a............
