"The more i read about Trapp, the more my respect seems to grow for him" - thats a quote from me by the way.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

I really hate the way several threads have been merged into one here it completely ruins the forum to have threads buried and topic imtermingled.
I know you've told us about 100 times but you still post here.Originally Posted by tricky_colour
Just looking through and there's definitely not several threads merged here. Maybe joeSoap's post on mushrooms was originally a seperate thread (I'm not sure) but if if that's not an ideal post to be putting in this thread I don't know what is. You really have to get used to this merging business. I think maybe you're too used to the other type of forum (one where they don't merge and they have pages and pages of new threads every day).
Are you off your game man, your comparing a legend to a muppet and saying the muppet is more successful, only a dub!!!

No I am not used to such forums I tend to avoid them, however there is currently little other alternative, if there was I would not be here.I know you've told us about 100 times but you still post here.
I prefer to use forums where threads are easilly readable. Bunging different threads into one big thread might seem like a good idea but
it is really using a hammer as a screwdriver, yet it gets the nail into the wall but solving one problem with an even bigger one is not a great
sollution.
You see you have not actually reduced the number of threads at all, you have just made it more difficult to find and read them, so you have made
the situation worse not better. Rather than a thread being on the next page it is five pages back in a huge thread, so no great improvement there.

This is the quotes thread, cut out the yapping

"The players today are here," said Trapattoni, gesturing with his hand at his midriff before raising it even higher to represent different levels when adding, "And tomorrow they may be here and, then, after tomorrow, they could be here."
John O'Shea
Trapattoni made a similar point, using the word determination -- with the aid of his interpreter -- when the gesture he made appeared to have an even more physical meaning.
"I cannot speak about other situations and how he has played in the past", said Trapattoni. "But John is a player who understands football, who finds it easy sometimes.
"I think also that a defender must be a little more determined. But John plays easy, and looks also to use the ball when it is only necessary.
"For him as a defender, it's also important that the midfield is strong and helps the defence. That has happened in the last two games, but I think John has played very, very well."
Aiden McGeady
"On Wednesday and the game before McGeady worked twice the amount from what he had done in the past,"
"He must understand that we can work offensively as well as defensively. Two years ago he was young and it is normal. He is still young, but he is learning."

If you want a thread dedicated to mushrooms then fair enough.
I have one, it's on the front page and will be for the next few years, and anyone reading the Trappatoni Quotes Thread will see it.
Yes three or more completely different subjects bunged into one threadThis is the quotes thread, cut out the yapping

with a title which describes none of them.
Now here I am trying to explain why that is a really bad idea, but it needs no explaination does it? It is so obvious I fail to understand how anyone could not see that.
Republic of Ireland Coach Giovanni Trapattoni has praised goalkeeper Shay Given and likened him to Azzurri No 1 Gigi Buffon. The Newcastle United shot-stopper was excellent in a 0-0 draw away to Montenegro and Trap insists he was the equal of Juve's £32.6m man. “I know he is a very, very good goalkeeper,” said the ex-Italy boss. “When the ball was deflected, I saw it going towards the post and I thought it was a goal. But Shay saved it and for me, he is one of the best in Europe, the same as Buffon. We have a saying in Italy that once you praise somebody to much, you have to touch wood, but his performance last night was very good.”
Sad but true story:
My friend's uncle, who was seriously ill from cancer, was out in the Portmarnock Hotel a few weeks ago and the team was there. He saw Trappatoni and told him about his illness and asked could he have his photograph taken with him. Trapps of course agreed with the words:
"Like the Irish team, you gotta have de faith".
My friend's uncle died shortly afterwards but was moved by Trapps words and delighted to have had the photo taken with him.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
"The team must play like a blind man," he remarked while apparently working on an imaginary keyboard with eyes closed.

"When the water is still in the summer, it stagnates and smells, so you have to change".
Trapattoni welcomes new players.
On our world cup qualification hopes following the Bulgaria match:
"Today we have a little advantage, but only a little advantage. I do not talk about percentages. I know that wood is wood and the ground is the ground."
Sure, Sure, Sure, Sure
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
This linked article offers a bit of insight into how Trapp currently operates.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
