no chance we could sack delaney and appoint sir bobby in that role ?
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.
was thinking exactly the same roger!
Do we really have to call him Sir Bobby. We are a Republic after all.
In Trap we trust
thats his title
what has the irish republic got to do with that?
I'm happy to call him Sir Bobby.
more than happy to call him sir bobby , he earned it unlike some of the muppets out there with titles. it doesnt make us any less of a republic if we recognise other countries honour systems.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I think he needs to be replaced. I mean he's done very little with the actual squad since he was appointed because of his health. Nice man and all that he seems to be, can the association afford to be paying someone who is not fit for the job? I doubt it.
I agree with Neil on this, why do we have to call him Sir, its not like he's king of anything, he's not here on an official visit. Plain old Bobby will do for me.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Fair enough I suppose its a personal thing. I think its our proxmity to Britain means that we use their titles but we dont use other honour systems throughout the world. I would just call him Bobby Robson. I have no problem with him and in fact I think he is a top class coach and guy etc. But personally I dont believe in an honour system.
We dont have such a system here that is why I mentioned the Irish republic. Also the Republic is the key word in that too.
In Trap we trust
i totally dont get this!
its there honour system - its their terminology
it doesnt effect a republic here in any way to recognise someone elses way of sayin things
owls fan he learned his lesson and made a fairly strong comeback in italia 90 i recall..... and its delaneys job i want to give him not stans!!
fair enough kingdom and neil about the title , i have stated my views above and we are drifting off topic...

Do we use other peoples honours systems when referring to them. I dont think so. Many other countries have honour systems but we dont use theirs. For people who believe in an honour systems its fair enough to use the title. But I dont belive in such a system and as I said its a personal thing so each to their own I suppose.
In Trap we trust
i cant think of any countries honour system that confers titles as add ons to a persons name - the sir thing seems unique to england, knights of the realm and all that b0ll0cks
ure just hung up about it cos its the brits
his name just happens to be sir bobby robson - cos thats what they call him in his own country, so it would be an act of pedantry or inferiority to just drop the sir
England were blessed in Italia 90. They were diabolical against us in the rain in Sardinia and like us just scraped out of the group (they won 1 out of 3 - we drew all ours). They scraped past Belgium 1-0 (David Platt ??) and was it Cameroon they also just beat by a goal? Went out to the Germans on penos so they got to the semis without ever being convincing. Other than at Ipswich in the beginning, I am not sure Robson was a great success wherever he went.Talked a good game - media loves that. I was disappointed with his appointment to the Irish set up along with the appointment of Stan. Why pay someone to teach your manager when there were managers already schooled available.
But that's history and on we go....

Wow - way to tar an entire career with one brush! It's the same Robson who took England to their best World Cup finish since '66, who took Ipswich to European and domestic honours, who has been a success in three different countries on the continent? I'd give him every opportunity to stay on with us if he wants to.
No real problems with calling him Sir Bobby, incidentally. It's his title. We're very quick to complain about foreigners coming here and wanting things done their way, so don't see how we can complain here.
Actually, that's mainly you.
Someone of Sir Bobby's experience would be ideal to run our football association, not that he'd be interested.
WTF has John Delaney ever done except serve his own personal purposes, break all his pledges and avenge the manner in which his father was treated (for breaking rules & making personal gain from ticket sales if I remember correctly, but could be wrong)?
Jack Straw now too.Actually, that's mainly you.And he's only following the French example. And I've heard plenty of support for him in work today for a start.
Can't argue with Stuttgart88's last post...
