Ireland V Cyprus - pre- match thread

Yeah Stan should definately go. But there should be more of an outcry for that Delany to f off in my opinion

The players only got their fingers out after Cyprus scored and were probably spurred on by the embarrassment of losing to such a poor team and as soon as they did we scored within a few minutes. So of course the "the players are to blame" "we haven't got the squad" excuses will be splurted out from Stan's supporters but there can't be many of those left after that shambles .. can there? Yes the players were poor tonight but I think Stan is the main source of the problem, if they have a clueless international manager when they are used to working in a professionaly run well structured team on a weekly basis you can't help but be a little disillusioned.

He handed himself a six year contract...he's not going anyway.

if he does go and I feel he should. I know I would if I was manager after that.

I have to say though to all those who thnk the players aren't to blame at all that in some ways i wonder what you'll say if they get in someone more experienced and we still struggle/fail to qualify.

these guys just aren't that good.

Stan out, players out. new team please.
