Was never a big supporter of the Stan/Bobby combination, and nothing I'v seen has made me change my mind. Only think I was hoping was that with the influence of Bobby we would at least play nice football, not the case from experience so far.
Big fear now, Bobby goes, who comes in (Graham Taylor, Bryan Bobson)
Only game Robson's been at so far was Sweden, wasn't it? Best performance too, even if it was against a side who weren't overly worried about the game.
agreed stuttgart although i dont know if delaneys old man personally made gain from tickets but he certainly allowed other chancers to do so !!
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Delaney is up to something here. My guess is he is going to try deflect abuse away from Staunton if everything goes pear shaped tomorrow or wednesday. In that scenario Delaeny would hope to get Bobby off the payroll and look to bring in someone else to "coach" the manager. Delaney hoping that this would dilute the critisism of Stan. It won't. Or if Ireland win both matches then why would Stan need Bobby. Pure speculaton but not beyond the realms.
As an example we refer to
Sheikh Makhtoum al-Makthoum
The Aga Khan
These are titles, why cant we use Britain's?
I think Ireland should terminate the employment of Robson because we have to be honest, he has had very little input into the team since his appointment. There is no point in having him on the payroll if he is not doing his job.
Delaney looking like a right fool these days..with Stan making a idiot of himself and Bobby's ill health and inability to do his job...but will anything come of it and will anything be written in the papers directly apposed to delaney...i think not...!!!!

"The much-loved former England manager was forced to undergo surgery in August to remove a brain tumour, and as a result was unable to stand alongside Staunton for the friendly defeat to Holland and the narrow Euro 2008 qualifying loss in Germany."
Lucky for Bobby he wasn't standing alongside Staunton, he might have gotten hit by a flying water bottle.
How would you feel about your employer giving you the sack because you had the misfortune to develop a brain tumour?Originally Posted by kingp35

It's a delicate situation and Robson should be treated with the dignity that he deserves.
My own feeling is that it's too early for talks on Robson's retirement.
Delaney could be rushing the process in order to get somebody else in for San Marino games. If Bobby declares himself ready to attend the San Marino preparations then he should be kept on as long as he is sufficiently fit in mind and body.
No calls for the return of Jack to oversee Stan?
The FAI are already advertising for the position, saw this in the Indo
Part-time babysitter wanted for uncommunicative kid, prone to temper tantrums and obstinate beahvior. Very sensitive to sunshine. Familiarity with football a plus. Some travel required. Send CVs to Nuala @ FAI, 80 Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
no, his name is BOBBY ROBSON and we can call him whatever the fcuk we want!!
More good business Mr. John Delaney CEO, second only to Peter Ridsdale. He could actually have gotten an international coach for the price of Starter Stan and Broken Down Bob
With all due respect to San Marino, we shouldn't have to rush back any managerial coach to lead the manager to victory over them. We have until March to decied on Bobby.
Big Jack mentor - there's an idea!!
Oh good jesus no,i'll top myself!
Not for the purpose of beating SM of course but for some quality squad time for future reference.
I believe Robson is a contractor so no work no pay.
Err. Daglish being brought in. I was right again.
Do you suggest the FAI should sit around and do nothing as Irisg Football is crumbling all around them?
