The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.

"It's time for the FAI to grow up." John O'Donoghue, Minister for Sport, RTE , Sunday 7 Nov 2004
seriously thats the way they are - its the mentality - they are brittle temprament (nearly lost it on several occassions tonight - in a game they were home and hosed in) - away they will get tanked - at home they've been steadily improving for years - and we in ireland knew EXACTLY what to expect - **** at the back - a threat goin forward - that the irish team looked shell shocked by this fact is frankly bizarre
in response to your scoreline point v slovakia
they just whacked wales 5-1 in cardiff
if we beat wales home or away - WE'LL BE DOIN WELL in my book!
My U-6 team has won 5 out of 5 so far this season including a 9-2 win this morning..
"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
Beats a 5-2 defeat by a f*cking holiday resort i suppose
But based on that anyone who has ever played football manager has a good chance. I once won the european cup with Preston.
He could sit on the opposition....I fail too see how he will save us...?
There was a club in Finland where the fans sent text messages to the manager, during the game, instructing him on what changes he should make. Bit of a money spinner, if nothing else.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Probably the difference with Kerr is that we would be competitive against the best teams in the group & possibly too defensive to put away trhe poor teams away from home. On the otherhand Staunton is well just sh!te against all teams. I think we have no hope next wednesday & a win at home to San Marino by any score will be good now.
I think the players lost confidence in Keer but at he would prepare the team properly. Would be interesting to know what the players really think of Staunton.
Kerr was nowhere near perfect but I'm a great believer in if you're getting rid of a manger you replace him with someone better!!
Kerr was very harshly treated when you consider the standard of staunton!!
Staunton is useless and I hope he gets the bullet or walks asap before too much damage is done!!
This 4 year sh!te is a cop out - we'll be well down the rankings for the draw for the world cup and that'll be us fcuked for a long long time!
Staunton out!!
DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS
In fact he was a model of restrait.
The root cause of this is that the FAI chairman, John Delaney, and his cronies actually know nothing about football. The media (Eamon Dunphy in particular) can hang their heads in shame. Add the leprechaun factor (like you) and face it we are ****ed.
When Johnny goes marching down the wing...HURRAH! HURRAH!
The man show is to blame for all this is John Delaney. He couldn't wait to get rid of Kerr and was all promises of a "world class" apointment. What did we get - the Walsall reserve coach. If anyone deserves to get stick on Wednesday night it is Delaney. The fact that he is in charge of the el now is a scary thought.
Kerr always put out an organised side and imo got as much as possible out of a very average bunchof players. The delusions of some of the bar stool oirish fans, that just because we have 10 premiership players in the starting line-up, we are a good team is laughable. Derry or Cork (who beat the cypriot champions in the CL) would have down a better job last nite.
If only he was still playing we wouldnt have conceded any goals
if only he was still manager as we got to 2 play offs in a transitional period and did very well at the world cup
I dont like this post genesis brave new world that Keane stood up for
This isn't the post-Genesis brave new world. Genesis was never implemented, it was put in a drawer and forgot about.
This isn't what Keane stood up for either. Mick Byrne is back, the scoops are back, the lack of ambition is back. Stan is like the Irish Bryan Robson.
I can't understand why people thought we did well at the WC. We were second seeds and were only expected to get to the second round.
I'm checking things out on Ebay!
Aldridge for Ireland
not a bad idea at all!!
He was appointed manager of the Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon, but only lasted one season in the post. His most success as a manager has come in Spain, where he managed Real Madrid twice and Real Sociedad three times, and Deportivo La Coruna and Real Murcia once each. He has also managed the Turkish side Besiktas JK and French side AS Saint-Étienne. He was appointed manager of the Welsh national football team for the first time in 1994, but only spent 41 days in the post, resigning after a 3-1 defeat to Norway. Despite this, he was appointed to the post for a second time in November 2004.
He lost the most recent game at home to Slovakia 1-5!!
Sometimes experience counts for squat diddlie doo.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Graham Taylor - Back to basics. No more experimentation.
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?
After watching the coverage on TV3 yesterday and seeing the reactions I reckon Aldo could be the ideal man for the job. He has the passion, he has been a manager before (although this is obviously not a prerequisite for taking over the Irish job anymore!) and has a decent record in cup competitions. When you think about it he has a very similar record to that of Lawrie Sanchez and look what he's doing with an arguably less talented squad up north...
