Ealing Green, if you are Croke Park for the rugby, will you sing both GstQ and Ireland's Call? You can't lose then

No ticket for Croke, but I was at Twickenham for the last England v Ireland game. When they played "Ireland's Call" I sung it loudly and lustily for the benefit of the English friend I was sitting with. Then when they played GSTQ, I sang that just as loudly for the benefit of the Cork(?) man on the other side, who was getting on my tits.

Anyhow, before, during and after the game, I happily drank with fans who were English, Irish or neither (stray Welsh bloke) and frankly, none of it mattered a tinker's cuss.

It is not the results that count, it is the substance of the performance. If the performance is right then the results quickly follow.

When McCarty followed Jack he had to rebuild the team (twice), I think he went seven games without a win. Although this was disappointing and he got some stick, the performance and effort was clear and this satisfied most of the regular supporters.
For the first time in 25 years I go to watch Ireland play with fear insted of hope/expectation. I thought that we had reached an all time low in terms of Spirit under Kerr (who I thought was the right manager), it appears that we were no where near the bottom othe pit.
I did not think that Stan was the right manager for the job, but he talked the talk, fighting spirt, team work, add youg players pride etc.
But he has failed to deliver.

The media smell blood and Stan is on the run.
These are the same scum who brough down McCarthy and Kerr, but it is all negative, there is no suggestion of realistic alternatives. But they are only reflecting what the fans are saying.

When we beat Wales, the situation will not have changed because it will have been the efforts of Given(please be fit), Dunne, Carsley and Duff (and maybe Keane) that gets the result. Not the manager because there is no shape to the team or ame plan.
