Should be supporting Hibernians then....seeing as though they were the first 'Irish' team in Scotland.

Any protest should happen at Ireland's last training session, before the Wales game. The players need to know how strongly we feel about all of this. The FAI couldn't give a monkeys, so there's no point protesting to them.

Has Alan Hunter been on RTE today yet?

I see where your coming from about letting the players know how much they are letting the supporters down but it could cause i bit of disruption so close to what will be a massive game. At the end of it all, it is imperative we win our next match !!

unfortunately i was wrong. maybe i should not of been cheering on the boys after all.

In reply to GavinZac and his protest idea.......

Yeah really demoralise them before this historic game, i don't think so, they know the were pathetic and will have to up their game 100%, my big problem is the mangement and his spin on a crap performance, i would have respect for him if he had of came out after the match and said, that was unacceptable performace by the players and we will be working on some serious issues to put it right for the next big game, but no we all know what he said. Bullsh1t.

Like they did after the Cyprus debacle? Didn't take long for them to sink back to their natural level...a lot of those players need a major wake-up call...
