.......one of the senior players did a Roy, stood up, said we have a crap manager, association etc........would others have the balls to back him?......can't think of any possible candidates, which is depressing in itself

Why would they... look what happened when Keano did it? And he had alot more clout/respect among teammates/fans than anyone in the team now.

the ****ehawks will always win through.

There speaks someone who has not watched Kilbane play much for Ireland. Never less than 100% commitment, and he did it again tonight.

He may not be the best ever player for Ireland but by God he gives it all. If only we had 11 with that commitment ......

Stokes is a rebel like that. He would have the balls to say something like that but is probably too young and people would dismiss him before they did staunton. Under roy keanes guidance though he could grow to take keanes attitude towards the FAI and the scene in general. Showed more in 10 minutes than the team combied did in the entire game

What in my comment makes you think i have not watched Kilbane much. Read most post properly before making your stupid comment please. What i meant is that the manager should be every bit if not ore angry than the players, this was so not the case tonight

**onenilgameover** · 07/02/2007, 9:56 PM

The ''san marino are gonna be a handful'' was probably the funniest thing i've ever heard uttered on tv. Stan is going nowhere...

**ciano** · 07/02/2007, 9:57 PM

Its funny, usually you would have one or two people defending a manager when people are calling for his head, shows how far this has come. I am really glad I got up at 5.30am to watch this in a pub before coming to work. The Australians are laughing at us and that says something. And on a side note a player mate of mine rang Stan last week three times to ask him why he wasnt included in the squad, left messages etc. Do you think he even got a call back?, you should run a team like you would run a company, if Stan ran a company it would probably be Enron.

**republicofwhite** · 07/02/2007, 9:57 PM

Yeah, Stokes does seem to have that "I actually give a sh*t" vibe about him. If he did speak out though, he'd get an awful lot of acclaim for doing so! I'd say Keano would encourage him anyway, would love to be a fly on the wall of their chat about it in training!

**IsMiseSean** · 07/02/2007, 10:00 PM

Im embarrassed to support them tonight. Staunton has to do the right thing and step down for the sake of Ireland! But he is not the only one to blame, Robbie Keane was shocking tonight, a so-called premiership striker against a post-man or whatever their defense was made up off and he only got one shot on target in 95mins is ridiculous. He should be dropped!

**republicofwhite** · 07/02/2007, 10:00 PM

Ciano You might as well tell us who it is! You've let the cat out of the bag enough as it is...! Derek Geary?

While you mention Stokes, why the hell was he only given 10 minutes when it was blatently obvious that Long and Keane weren't working well together (not getting at Long here, actually would have preferred to see Keane being hauled off)

Nah, it was Murphy, wanted to know why he wasnt even considered for the last B international as well

**Mr A** · 07/02/2007, 10:03 PM

I hate watching this Ireland team. There's some decent players that I like there, but overall they're a heartless shambles.

Delaney, Staunton, Mick Byrne and especially O Shea must go now.

**Mr A** · 07/02/2007, 10:05 PM

And Robbie Keane, the useless git.

**LukeO** · 07/02/2007, 10:06 PM

Staunton is only part of the problem. The real problem in the FAI lies with John Delaney who in turn has surrounded himself with even more yes-men goons such as the FAI's Director of Propaganda Gerry McDermott.

These guys are the real scum of Irish football and it's the heads of these guys that should be our priority ahead of Stan's. Irish football will never progress while the despot Delaney is in charge. The man is a tyrant who tries to censor anyone who dares to criticise his regime.

DELANEY OUT

**carloz** · 07/02/2007, 10:08 PM

You can not have a moaning git who constantly abuses the officials as a captain. Juts compare the two captains. Roy Keane>>>>Robbie Keane

**shakermaker1982** · 07/02/2007, 10:08 PM

we're third in the groups lads......!!! haha. Surprised he didn't use that beauty.

I agree that Stan should be furious - but the insinuation is that Kilabane (specifically) would not be expected to care much. He seemed to care more than most tonight, and always has.
