    Its all about hitting them where it hurts. Finances. Pick an event and boycott it. Give them zero of your hard earned money. 80,000 empty seats says more than 80,000 full seats.
    Resign, now!

    Come on, if we bombard everyone including radio stations and the FAI with emails that there is to be a protest outside merrion sq tonight people will show up! If something isn't done quickly Delaney & Stan are going to make us look even more shambolic in fortress Croker.....

    Petitions wont work, if we gather a litle momentum we can force a change...

    How about 80,000 white hankies at the match because although I want Stan out I really want to be there to cheer on the team in Croker?

    I'm of the same mindset but i'd happily sacrifice this campaign to ENSURE this muppet doesnt lead us into a World Cup qualifying campaign.
    Resign, now!

    If we get him out now, we'd have a month to get someone "a professional" in for the Croker games. It would be a first game under a new manager and all to play for..

    We have narrowly escaped becoming the laughing stock of European Football. Get Out!!!

    Staunton hasn't a clue.

    But saying that, the players have also an awful lot to answer for.

    Those eleven players should be able to beat San Marino easily even if you played Duff in goal, Robbie at centre half, Dunne on the wing and Henderson up front.

    Only Stephen Ireland showed that he cared.

    People can say that Stan can't motivate or inspire the players. FFS these guys are professionals - they shouldn't need inspiration or motivation to beat San Marino.

    Don't know whether this has been mentioned before but Stan was on the radio this morning saying that March is generally a better month for the team. LOL. If I didn't laugh, I'd cry.

    Maybe the ref last night watched videos of previous Irish matches where excessive amounts of injury time were added and Ireland conceded late goals (Croatia and Macedonia, I think). Maybe he just wanted to redress the balance - cos I can't see where the injury time came from - or maybe he thought that San Marino could actually beat these wasters.

    Stan

    Felt sorry for the loyal troops who paid their way to witness that pathethic display.
    If his team talks are anything like his press conferences, no wonder the lads look bemused.

    In the name of God, "GO"

    I'd be all for the white handkerchiefs, because as much as i'd love to boycot the remainder of the campaign, I too want to be in Croke Park and the double header in Slov and Czech. It disgusts me that Stan will be in charge of the team for the first few in Croker. He doesnt know what he is doing and is a hypocrit. He said he picked the team on current prem form, and yet he sticks with that clown Kilbane and leaves Hunt on the bench. Hunt is exactly what we needed in that game. Very eager to impress and a terrier with youth on his side.
    It will kill me to sign the acceptance sheet for the 4 games. Giving them showers of bstds 800 euro after that performance is hard to swallow.

    I propose that we keep Stan on. Then on TV coverage we could play the benny hill theme tune over the match and we'd have comedy gold!

    No excuse for Stan, but who were the real culprits?

    A Robbie Keane - not at the races;
    B Wayne Henderson - completely lost the plot

    That said, it was Stan who made Keane captain (wretched decision) and picked Wayne Henderson (equally wreteched)

    Honeymonster for capatin, and bring back Paddy Kenny.

    Don't forget Kenny's performance in Cyprus. Get Dean Kiely back, I'm sure Croke Park will appeal to him!

    Staunton has been in charge for 7 games as far as I can remember and of those 7 at least 3 have been the worst performances I've ever seen from players in an Ireland shirt. Please God let's get this muppet out before we sink into the dark abyss of European football with NI and Co and never crawl out again to reach the heights we once took for granted.

    As for the players not being good enough - Staunton is working with a better set of players than Kerr ever had. We've better options in attack, on the wings and in central defence than Kerr. Only Keane is missed and Kerr managed without him for a couple of years anyway. On paper we've also better players than NI, Scotland and Wales so this is only an excuse for the ignorant.

    Let's get rid of this muppet. Everyone email the FAI let them know how you feel.

    I agree it was not great - but he also made many saves that night - they could have had 10 easily.

    Solutions??????????

    Bit late joining this thread lads & it seems theres a 90%+ vote for binning Stan and Delaney.

    So what's Plan B?
    Who is going to give the Association the smack of credibility?
    Who is going to earn the respect of our players?
    MORE IMPORTANTLY
    Who is going to get the MOST out of the players we have?


    For me ALL 3 of McCarthy, Kerr & Stan were too much in awe of Robbie Keane & Damien Duff. Both have always been totally overrated IMO. And as for John O'Shea? Maybe we should've started him in goals.

    When my then 6 year old daughter heard that Robbie Keane was our all time record international goal scorer, she remarked that he must've got his goals against really poor teams. Now he can't even manage that.

    What are YOU doing to make it better?

    For as long as Stan keeps adding to the gaiety of the nation in this manner he must be kept in charge, this obviously goes for Delaney as well for you cannot have one without the other.
