cheers mate but i had quoted that from someone else!!!
Yeah, don't mention it
I had it as a new thread but the powers that be reckoned it was undeserving. Even thought his thread is a complete mess with offshoots in all directions. I think it is now about Brian Kerr !!

I agree with you on that and to me he is a proper footballing person in the best way however I feel his time with Ireland seniors has left him bitter towards the FAI etc and it clouds his opinions on issues such as this.
There were rumblings last year of some Pats fans who were not too happy with him last year but I suppose that is the way with football too.

Tardelli has loads of experience; him and Trap will make a great team!
Also worth a read; Lippi thinks it's a good appointment but a big, big challenge:

Don't think Robbie will be too happy with that, never gave him a chance at Inter after Lippi was sacked, didn't fancy him at all....

funny that Tardelli was the man that shipped Robbie Keane out of Inter after Lippi was sacked, strange how these things work out...
"Well I think they'll be a little disappointed with that" - Matt Holland on TV3 after 5-2 drubbing by Cyprus
Might keep Robbie on his toes and with a point to prove. Not a bad thing.
Quoting years at random since 1975
But, it was a load of ****e..one of the worst ireland games i have ever been to. So, at least he's honest.
Absolutely, I think he is mostly bitter that after the Ireland job he has had no great demand for his services. According to his analysis we needed someone who had had success at International level with limited resources and was Irish. Surprised he didnt say it didnt matter if the success was at underage level!.
After the way he was treated by the press in the latter days of his stewardship, I did think he would go easier on Staunton, but he was as bad as the rest of them, which lowered my opinion of him.
I'm not saying Stan didn't deserve criticism, but did think Kerr would be more measured in his comments.
In the end of the article Dolan mentions that Trap not being at the announcement shows that he's just looking for one last payday. I completely disagree with this. IMO it shows that he's completely professional and doesn't want to take time off from his current job, one that he is currently being paid for. Perhaps he is a bit too old and possibly past it, but I seriously doubt a man with Trapattoni's professionalism would ever just be looking for one last payday.
In regards to Kerr, I really don't think he's ****ed at this appointment. I'm sure he was at Staunton's (and who'd blame him) but I think he's just trying to be objective. Trapattoni is not a guarenteed success and he does have one blotch on his CV - the Italy job - but we were never going to be able to get a perfect candidate.
My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.
I have said this before, Nobody can be ojbective about a matter of opinion it is impossible. Especially then when they have worked for the organisation in the same role that they are commenting on. He is being subjective and offering his opinion which is fair enough and he is concentrating on the valid concerns which is fair enough but I think to be fair and balanced he should spend as much time if not more on the benefits and strong points of Trappatoni. He did not he highlighted the concerns, and as a result it comes across as bitter especially when you add to it his previous comments.
However I was and am a supporter of Kerr and his type that invest time and money in Irish football and it should not be forgotton what he did for Pats and the underage set up in Ireland.

I just read Humphries articles in the Times. I actually used to like his writing when I first started reading them, but now he really does seem to be very bitter. From the sentiment of his articles, he takes as many jabs at the FAI as he could and he almost seems to be disappointed that we got our act together and appointed an excellent coach. I wish he'd **** off and just write about sports that he likes.

I just read that article now and I see a totally different slant. If anything he has a slight dig at his fellow journalists for concentrating on the Denis O Brien issue and the fact that most of them were ****ed off that it was a professional appointment done in a proper manner. In the article he praises the FAI for a job well done. He points out that JP Mc Manus gives money to Limerick and nobody bats an eyelid.
Maybe give the article another read because I feel you may have missed his point. But I could be wrong here.

That batted my eyelid alright, JP won't touch Limerick FC/37 with a barge pole, let alone give us money. There's O'Briens first lie for you lot.
Anyway just showed a female co-worker a picture of Trappatoni and her response was, 'it's no wonder he won't be living over here, the cold would kill him off at his age'
Well she is an ignorant girl cause I don't think we get the same level of coldness as they do in Salzburg or Milan so it shows what she knows.
Also JP Mc Manus is allowed to put money into the GAA and not put it into the LOI if he likes. Its a free world and he does not have to put money. The point is that there seems to be one rule for the GAA here and one rule for the FAI which is fair play for the GAA receiving money from Mc Manus but how dare the FAI recieve money from the FAI. It is terrible that it took a GAA journalist to point this out to his other journalists.
Oh by the way it was Tom Humphries that said that and not O Brien, so no lie there from O Brien.

Then how the hell is she working alongside me here at Met Eireann!!!???
One's amateur, the other's professional, even if it is hard to tell at times, there's the difference
Alright Tom Humphries is a lying scumbag instead of O'Brien
Tardelli was an amazing player. This just keeps getting better.
I wonder will he keep on Mick Byrne for the hugs?
Well if anybody is prepared to say to me that we get get colder temperatures than Milan or Salzburg they are living in cloud cuckoo land.Then how the hell is she working alongside me here at Met Eireann!!!???

Again its JP Mc Manus's money and he can do what he wants with it. We may wish for more people to invest in LOI but we dont have the right to demand it.
So lying scumbag now is that really an appropriate term for what Humphries said and I would reckon he was talking about the journalist fraternity rather than every human being on earth when he said nobody batted an eyelid. I would think your comments are a bit OTT here.
