Post Cyprus Match Reaction thread

I think the petition will explain the motives well enough.
It is simply unacceptable the way things are going. His general disregard for everything (just read the petition and tell me if I'm wrong). If we beat Cyprus it will be no thanks to him (he'll be in the stands) and if we beat the Czechs, perhaps we should rethink the petition

Couldn't sign something like that, despite agreeing that he should not be in the job, It's Delaney's head that should be on the block and Stan being made number 2 to an experienced man.

Well, they should start with learning how to spell "conjunction".

Why does everyone get bothered about soundbites? The only thing that matters for me is how we perform on the pitch. I agree that this building for the future is nonsense and it is nonsense to say a point in Cyprus wouldn't be a disaster but I will judge Stan on how the team performs. End of.....

give him a chance -he lost to the 3rd best team in the world

I don't as a rule, but that was the most pathetic, defeatist soundbite I've ever read. If he actually manages not to beat Cyprus, it ought to be Irish football's answer to, "Peace for our time."

I find this type of petition and berating of our current manager really embarrassing. Best fans in the world, my ar$e.

The manager isnt great, but I signed it and Ireland have my whole support. The problem is everything he said has got to have you thinking what will happen, and how it can be stopped before it does. He has pretty much said he doesnt care about Euro 08 and just wants to build for 2010. He wont be there for 2010 if we do too badly. Also, Euro 08 isnt just something to blow off, its the 2nd biggest competition after the World Cup. Ill try to take my signature off I change my mind, but I dont think I will. Again, just because I signed it doesnt mean the team doesnt have my full support--or that I hope they will lose because I want to be right.

Firstly,who said we were the best fans in the world?
That in itself is laughable,we're not now,nor were we ever the best fans in the world!

Secondly,i fully support this petition 100%

**trevy** · 07/10/2006, 2:53 PM

You want the manager removed after 1 competetive game,a 1-0 defeat to a team who finished 3rd in the World Cup.

At least wait and see how the next two games go.

Pat Good said it in his song "Bless Them All" (Were the best fans the world has seen/we'll follow big Jack's men in green)

**skitz3** · 07/10/2006, 6:02 PM

Seconded!

**joema** · 07/10/2006, 6:04 PM

I agree aswell

**Breifne** · 07/10/2006, 6:06 PM

Its hard to understand how a team which was capable of competing with some of the worlds best teams (remember brazil, argentina, france) in the last two years can be reduced to this. Its scary that our international management team consists of no one with any real management experience, with the exception of Pat Devlin, which is probably the scariest thing of all.

Dunne has just be sent off, its time for Staunton to go
