Delaney's on Today FM sometime after the news, along with Bobby Robson. Should be interesting.
Delaney is a fcuking clown
"The positives of last nights game is that we secured another three points and moved up to 3rd in EURO 2008 Group D table but i can understand the frustration of the fans. Stephen Staunton and his management team have a job to do through to the World Cup Qualifying campaign in 2010 and have got the full support of the association as they do so. We now have to focus on the two important home games against Wales and Slovakia next month and I hope that everyone will get behind Stephen and the squad for these matches."
What planet does he live on ?
Small point, but on drivetime last night JD blamed the banner on Dundalk fans, like it was a little local issue and not related to his overall vanity and incompetence - just to set the record straight, it originated in Phibsboro' and a man with a fair track record of getting rid of incompetent managers was involved..
The NBB in the corner of the banner should be a clue
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
Its a sad state of affairs that you can only exercise your right to free speech by displaying such banners outside Ireland.
A similar banner from was pulled down within 10 seconds of being put up by FAI heavies in Lansdowne at the San Marino home game, which was the latest in a long line of attempts to suppress and intimidate fans.
I hope you have e-mailed Des to let him know
hats off to the bohs fans - that banner undid a few hundred thousand euro worth of PR damage limitation by The Laney and his henchmen
a bed sheet and a lick o' black paint is mightier than the PR guru
picked up by both broadsheets
Pats are the undisputed kings of irish football banners and even we doff our collective caps to such a direct hit on the forces of darkness
I agree with almost all of this (except about Kerr going - he was and is a fine manager). I think the Shels debacle and the loss of Dublin City is a symptom of the way the league has been badly run for too long. The new structure has potential but there will be problems putting in place. The developments in the eL IMO are the most positive ones in a long long time. Some clubs will not be able for it (as mine wasn't) but the league is stronger for taking these hard pills now. Stan should definitely go - Delaney is suffering IMO not from appointing him (which is a an FAI decision) but from denying that there is an ongoing problem. He was not behind the door in showing Kerr had lost his support - the same should be the case for Stan.

I’d like to refresh people’s memories on brian kerr. Kerr is without doubt a consummate pro, however his over the top methods regarding training (videos and player comparisons in particular did not go down well with the squad) and his ultra conservatism in refusing to blood new players resulted in vital matches being lost as well as public confidence.
I know that this was my main concern with kerr (giving aidan mcgeady 1 minute at the end of friendlies and playing first choice teams for friendlies) and I do feel that to get a full campaign is a fair crack at the whip. He made a fatal error at home to Israel which effectively cost us a play off spot.
San Marino was an appaling performance but our performances against Switzerland away 0-2 in a game we had to win, in my mind, was equally appaling, given that he sent a team out that HAD to win, to play a brand of conservative and holding football where we didn’t create a single decent chance in 90 minutes. It happened again against Israel and again against the swiss in landsdowne for the 0-0.
We had to win that game to get a qualification spot. Again the performance was abysmal. Some people have short memories. Kerr was terrific with the media and a gent, and his statistical knowledge cannot be questioned, however he too failed to get the most out of the players and I for one had seen enough but wished him well.
If he is such a great manager though why has he not found another job? Maybe he’s not looking?

Does that count as a display?
Fair play, even if it took a crazed Bohs steward to do it. The olé olérs were too busy adjusting their Elvis wigs/jester hats/bishops mitre etc.

Spot on As I say, he lost me when he said we we unlucky when we conceded the last minute equaliser to Israel away. We were not. A draw was the minimum Israel deserved. We were awfull especially after taking the lead early on.

You left out the ubiquitous Leprechaun costumes.
The wearing of which, if I were in charge of the country, would lead to an automatic and permanent surrendering of the offenders passport and a life of penal servitude in an Irish gulag (such as Leitrim), all the while dressed in said offending garment.
He'll like that..
on another point - and because i don't know clever HTML things like how to quote two separate posts - I emailed Des Cahill about Delaney's misinfo. as per monutdfc above
