QuoteYeah!! Just seen that. He was talking about getting O'Brien and finnan back... There was also talk of getting people eligable to play to declare. I wonder who that could be... Are they talking about kids? What's the criteria again???

Glad to see him in the new set up.
Knows Trap & Tardelli, is fluent italian, knows the team & has a lot of contacts within the game.
dont suppose the bookies will pay out on my punt on him @16s
great news, seems like a dream team now.
Trappatoni, Tardelli, Brady
Staunton, McDonald, Devlin.
In Trap we trust
You can see Brady talking with Bill and Eamo here: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2008/0305/bradyl_av.html
One of the most heartening things Liam says is that he intends to speak to players who have retired, including Andy O'Brien and Steve Finnan, to see if they will consider returning.
With his knowledge of the Irish players from his work as a pundit, combined with his experience of working with young players at Arsenal (given the relative youth of our squad) he's a perfect candidate for assistant manager.

"Quite a few kids in the championship I'd be looking at"
Good to hear.
Wonder how many kids in the Arsenal set up qualify?
Also there has to be a generation of Irish kids coming to the right age in Italy, should be 17 this Feb
Fair Play died Nov 18th 2009, Stade Francais.
What happened to all the 19yo Germans ?Also there has to be a generation of Irish kids coming to the right age in Italy, should be 17 this Feb
Anyone else get the urge to sing "Something some-thing, Burt Ward" ?
On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"
And they nearly did.
I just keep thinking of this sign:

cant imagine aidan mc"geddy" jumping for joy on this one. lets hope brady has the sense to give him a decent chance

Brady spent a months trying to get McGeady to Arsenal. I doubt he holds any grudges if that's what you mean. He was very complimentary about him in his commentary for the Brazil match.
That's how the name is pronounced in Scotland. Brady speaks Scottish as well as Italian.
I think this is great news, the addition of Brady to Tardelli and Trappatoni does give us a potentially great managment team and I am now looking to the World Cup qualifiers with a lot more confidence than I was a couple months ago.
I noticed that when Bill asked Brady if this was a stepping stone to the Irish job Liamo said 'No' I get the impression that he is happy enough being in the background and not being a gaffer
To be honest I don't think any Irish person would want the job after seeing how Stan was treated.
I'd suggest his tune might change if Trap is successful and becomes a hero like Jack did.
He makes a point in the RTE video that the opinions he's given on players in the past will have to be forgotten, and that he doesn't see any problems working with players he hasn't been complimentary about in the past.
Like we've all said before, turkeys aren't going to vote for Christmas, and no player is going to hold a grudge against Brady for something he said if it'll cost him a place in the squad.
This is fantastic news. Its up to the players to put up or shut up now imo. The management team is the equal of any in the international game at the minute.
