[gustavo]

the geordie tosser is saying

Harsh.

Delaney said he will be judged on the grass roots and development of the game in this country not just the national team.

Delaney said he will be judged on the grass roots and development of the game in this country not just the national team.

The two main tenets of Delaney's reign have been (i) not renewing Brian Kerr's contract with the promise of a "World Class Manager" and (ii) the merger of the FAI and league together with Club licensing.
He has failed miserably at both, so now he wants to be judged on grass roots.

We should have one of the best teams in Europe.

Under Delaney - we have one of the worst, on a par with San Marino.

Yet now we are supposed to be happy with that, and show a bit of understanding and patience?????

[gustavo]

We should have one of the best teams in Europe.

Why ?

[pete]

No doubt Delaney will mention the 4 year plan & ask for the manager to be given time and support.

The old grass roots must be in pretty terrific shape to justify him getting a 6-year contract extension.

Steve Staunton said:

“We are all disappointed because we know how disappointed the fans are."

“These players would have learned a lot last night."

Both from fai.ie

[khoop]

Why ?

Stupid question.

If it wasn't for the Keane Saipan debacle, Ireland would have made the World Cup semis - at least - in Japan/Korea.

Where's all that gone now???

Have we simply decided that being mediocre is more fun?

[gustavo]

Well ok but notice your use of the word "should be" which is present tense and "would have" which is past tense , in other words you are saying we should be one of the best teams in Europe because of what the squad we sent over to Japan acheived 4 and a half years ago.
