    Agreed. Didn't see RTE last night but from what I've read of the panels comments, they seem to have been spot on and focused on the right points.

    I agree. I watched it after getting home from the match and Dunphy expressed very well the feelings of everyone supporter I know. He was much more composed than normal whereas Brady was more animated than I have seen him before.

    It was funny though when Dunphy said players shouldn't attack the manager...

    Now he's the messiah because he's attacking Stan when 95% of all fans have said since the beginning that the Stan appointment was bizarre . Just surprised he isn't supporting Stan since that would be more his forte.

    Dunphy is fanning the fires against Steve Staunton.

    Ireland played well against Germany and he praised the players. They played badly last night and he criticised the manager. Am the ony one who thinks last nights's performance has something to do with the players being underachievers in the small games. 2-1 v. San Marino, the two Cyprus games, even the Slovakia results don't cover themselves in glory.

    Imo, last night's performance was down to the ineptitude of the players to perform in an "easy" match and not down to the manager, as Dunphy would have it. He said nobody should criticise the players, well they should because it is the players fault for last night's debacle.

    Maybe Staunton's not a great motivator and maybe a better manager would have prepared them better and drilled home the fact that the macth wouldn't be easy, but the fact remains once the players step onto the pitch it's all down to them. And they didn't do it. Where was the performance from Saturday night?

    I think Dunphy is wrong and he's going a long way to jeopardising Staunton's career.

    Despite all his inconsistencies and his populism I think Dunphy's an important voice at the moment given the FAI propoganda machine and the culling of any oppoprtunity to voice dissent.

    I mentioned to my mates on Saturday that our situation is like living under communism. You know it can be better but you're powerless to change anything.

    Just take a gander at the FAI site. Like something out of East Germany 1970's. Trying to control the story over all else. Remember the "Barney" individual who turned up on this site a few weeks back. Works for an agency contracted by the FAI (allegedly!).

    Look at the very first post in this thread. It says Dunphy claimed the Irish team were ordinary at the start of the campaign but after Saturday night he claimed the Irish team were good (or great, I can't check right now). From last night's performance ANYONE can tell that team is not good (or great). Then Dunphy comes out and says noone should criticise the players.....knowing very well who will get all the criticism if that's the attitude everyone takes up. Both these claims put more pressure on the manager.

    Now, Staunton is no great manager. He shouldn't have been let near the job in the first place with his (lack of) experience. However he has the job now and the last thing he needs is "the people's voice" putting more unwarranted pressure on him with his recent comments.

    Dunphy an important voice!!?? Where is the FAI propaganda other than it voicing its own opinion to support its position rightly or wrongly. Is that propaganda? Nearly all the media and nearly all the fans rightly in my opinion don't think Stan is the man for the job so what makes Dunphy any different? He has personally and vehimently attacked every manager since Johnny Giles so plus ca change, except on this occasion he may have a point.

    For a start Delaney claiming that the fans stayed behind in Slovakia to cheer on Stan and the team . The "world Class" manager promised. Do you want me to go on?

    It's propoganda when Delaney says that fans stayed behind in prague to support the manager when Czech police kept them back for the usual security reasons.

    Dunphy is only different because he's the most listened to. His opinion is no more important than any of the print media's but I don't hear too many people saying "did you read what Daniel MacDonnell wrote today?".

    Staunton has to go. The players look more and more demorlised after every match. Last night's performance was the worst i've ever seen, and we all know there has been some brutal performances from ireland but we always had something about us that kept us hoping. This is a new low for irish soccer and change is needed. Delaney is accountable for the appointment of Staunton and should lose his job for it. Staunton himself should quit and save his own reputation he is after all an Irish internation legend. You can't name many players that have served Ireland as well as him. In international football you need a manager who can organise and get the best of the players available to him. International football isn't that great any longer, look at NI and scotland both still in with a chance of qualifying going into their last matches and it says it all.

    To be honest, I'm not too concerned what Staunton needs, or how much pressure there is on him. Even if he were universally supported, granted every request, given everything he needs, he would still be an awful manager.

    The best thing to do, for Ireland and Staunton, is to have some "mutual agreement" which releases him from his contract. Ireland will be able to start competing again, and Staunton may still have even a slight chance of having a future career.

    Laving the Stan out aside, who do people want in? Dunphy has droned on about the FAI needing to splash the cash to get in a world class "management team" I see no suggestions as to who should come in.
