    This is the FAI so don't rule anything out. Including the "gaffer" being made the asistant "gaffer". Or some type of dual management nonsense. Just hurry up and announce hes gone or else my imagination will come up with even worse scenario's.

    Agree 100%

    Just watched Tony O'Donoghue on RTE News pontificating that because of the way the FAI has conducted their business this evening (i.e. giving the media circus the run around!) is hardly likely to improve relations with the media. He also seems to think the media is how the FAI 'communicates with the fans'.

    Such boll*cks. These press/TV and radio guys sure have a high opinion of themselves. I don't see why the FAI or Steve Staunton should co-operate with them at all after some of the OTT stuff the media have come out with over the last year or so.

    Whatever else they are the FAI are not so stupid that they do not recognise it is the fans and not the media who are one of their main revenue streams.

    These media wallahs don't buy a single match ticket!

    That's a scurillous remark about Oxford United. I can tell you they have far higher standards.

    I've no interest in seeing Stans guts on the floor. Tell him it's over and let him slip away quietly. Tough titty on the newspapers etc...

    I think the FAI are probably right to give them the slip if at all possible and let them get p1ssy eyed about it if they want to. I think it's evident from the experience in other countries (England) that if you let them in too close they'll not only presume on it but will see themselves as holding the national team in trust for the nation.

    I just wish someone would confirm his departure. It's a bitter end.

    still no word? Someone put the guy out of his misery! Let him get the first flight back to his home in the UK and let him enjoy the rest of his life.

    They already see themselves in that role.

    Perhaps the FAI should offer the job as manager to the likes of Paul Lennon, Dion Fanning or Daniel McDonnell. They would run a mile!

    To be fair Daniel Mc Donnell and Paul Lennon have been alright. Its Fanning who is the dick, along with Cathal Dervan. Liam Mackey is one of the best.

    John Delaney announced as new Ireland manager with the "bowel" Michael cody as "International consulant". Steve Staunton to take over from Tony Hickey as head of security.

    Sorry I should have said on the media circus. Brady was basically saying the same as what I was, that the FAI did the right thing by protecting Staunton from a media circus. Dunphy was saying it shows what a shambles the FAI is and what a childish organisation it is by playing games with the media.
