True. I don't agree with the line that Dunphy is just singing the tune of the 'Common Fan'... If anything he's the type of guy that goes against the grain for the sake of it.

First the abysmal performance and last minute goal in Bratislava, followed immediately by the "Granny is dead" fiasco.Stauntons ineptitude was there for all to see, except him of course.Prague will always be remembered for Stan ending up with a balanced team by default, ie injury to O Shea.Hunts arrival offered a glimpse of what might have been.His harsh red, had the fat lady clearing her throat.Post game,our managers comment that " things were coming along nicely" had remote controls flying at the screen all over Ireland.The FAI, aka John Delaney, acclaims a great performance,cementing the cone mover in his position for 2010.Both Grannies are alive and kicking, unlike with three games remaining, our qualification hopes.Intense public pressure is the only hope of losing Stan, and lose him we must.Basic football knowledge dictates that you play your players in their best positions, or at the very least learn from your mistakes and show signs of progression.Stan falls well short in all criteria.As the week closes we're stuck with this man, how depressing is that?:

Take your point about the rant about the team but why would anyone look forward to hearing about the misery of another, unless they enjoy that sort of thing.

Are you serious or are you just a diehard MU fan? He was CRAP, out of position so many times, he was supposed to be playing right full but spent most of his time in the centre getting in the way of McShane and Dunne. Look at the Czech goal again and JOS positioning.

O'Shea was positioned where he was supposed to be. Dunne dropped backed to the sweeper position, O'Shea moved in and McGeady dropped back. Kilbane should have stayed on his feet and McGeady should have been paying attention.

Just back from Prague and I still can't believe it. I always believe that the manager should be given time but it's beyond a joke now. His team selections are a disaster and I've lost any faith I have in him. I've been to all the games this campaign and we have been terrible in nearly every one. We need a change now.

Would you let him drive the Dundalk-Drogheda train?? He'd be more likely to miss Drogheda altogether, and crash land it into Gormanstown.

"Following his subsequent interview on RTE News, Mr. Staunton stated that "these things happen", there's "nothing you can do about it", but "pick myself up, and drive the next train"....

No, basically we just dont care about another opinion on matters that have been done to death in the Ireland forum. I am interested in how people got on on their travels not another predictable summary of events from the barstool.

What on earth has Stephen Ireland's (understandable) lying got to do with Stan?!

Moved to the Ireland forum.

**SUB of the day** · 17/09/2007, 8:29 PM

Granny in Cobh dead, gotta go.Well actually Granny in London dead,Granny in Cobh alive and kicking, if a little shocked to be recieving messages of sympathy on her apparent demise.Granny in London actually alive, but equally shocked at reading of her own death in London Evening Standard.Is it understandable to lie to Staunton, the team doctor, your fellow players,the FAI press officer,accepting their sympathies, fly home on a private jet provided by the FAI, get foundout, only to spew the same crock of ****e again? Understandable no...Stupid...yes.

**pineapple stu** · 17/09/2007, 9:19 PM

(a) You've made no attempt to address the facts which came out subsequently.
(b) You've made no attempt to back up your initial claim that it makes Stan stupid.

One you start bunging stuff into one huge thread it beome difficult to follow.
Also if a matter is raised again whats the problem with that? Can't expect people to read every post in the forum before posting?

"Only one person called for Stans resignation".

Brave men Delaney & Staunton.....or are they just stupid?

**soccerc** · 18/09/2007, 6:45 PM

Well considering the number of times one or other of the mentioned duo have called or had someone call at late notice saying they couldn't attend events/functions they agreed to participate in, I'd wonder,
