The Steve Staunton Discussion thread

[TonyD]

In any other first world country neither would be allowed to stay in his job.

Prompts obvious reply

[percy]

we weren't ejected from the stadium.... we walked out. We were told to take the banner down because it was deemed "offensive" Some thick with his walkie talkie came running over and said " ahh come on lads take that down .... it might be seen on the telly" So you can see that stupidity runs from the top right down to the lackies within the FAI. Banner will be up again in Cardiff and I hope more people bring them.. don't think the FAI will have any way of scuppering a protest in millenium stadium

Stan has to go and quick. Now Sammy Lee has been sacked by Bolton there's a good chance if we were to wait we'd end up with their cast-offs and with potential candidates like Jewell and O'Leary already both interested it's imperative we act fast.

[an_ceannaire]

have to say I dont believe four post Percy for a second!!! Percy I was sitting close enuff to the lads, tell me....what colour jacket were you wearing????
Mate of mine(cigarette patrol) saw a lad ejected, he ran down to Stan and roared abuse. Stewards grabbed him and out the door
its gone a bit ugly

[an_ceannaire]

Oh yeah, forgot it was me who missed the free header from 6 yards twice and ran around aimlessly all night.

[mackannovic]

That's a helpful comment. thanks.

I could not boo last night but I was very tempted.

The FAI spin has been that we were supporting the regime. e.g. we chanted Stan's name for 20 mins in Prague when we were chanting Stevie Hunt.

We have to make our feelings know some how.

I can honestly say that I have not heard one person saying that Stan is the right man. It is not exactly a similar situation to Alex Ferguson in 1989/1990, there is no hope that things will turn around for Stan.

I've spent a fortune following the team but I can't face going to Wales.

Not you so, These lads were in the upper canal or thats where they guy who told me was.

Judging from the papers and various websites, it seems 'the worm has turned' Delaney and FAIL sory FAI blazers look like they are about to call time on Stan and his 'world class backroom team' Delaney has even started wriggling to deflect the blame and save his own neck check this out for a classic pass the buck quote: "It's a matter for the members," he said. "It's unfortunate that I've been personally linked to the appointment when there was a sub-committee of three that made it which was ratified by the board of the FAI, which is a committee of 10." Who does he think he's kidding? He should go as well because we all know that it was he who pushed for this appointment in the first place. Here's the full report from the Indy.

That quote makes my blood boil

Lads can those comments redarding Robbie Keane be backed up. I have not seen them anywhere and I reckon if they were said they would be all over the place. Anyway if you could find them that would be great because if he did say it its a disgrace.
