Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
I think Martin Jol would be a great choice if he was interested in the job. He seems to get the best out of Robbie Keane anyway. His teams play relatively good football and he's done well with Spurs before this season.

Will there be an annoument this evening so? Or will we have one more night under Stan's leadership
I wouldn't mind Jol but he'd head back to Holland if he has any sense.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Anyone know what time this meeting is kicking off at today?
Likely to carry on for a while I suppose.
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?
6.30 start in a "4-star hotel" in Santry (the Crowne Plaza presumably).
According to Liam Mackey on TodayFM a while ago Staunton has been invited to the meeting to give his side of the story.
Tony O'Donoghue on the 9 o'clock news tends to be the usual forum for these announcements.

Stan at Hotel,are the FAI about to give two fingers to the fans and media?
I smell a rat,surely announcing his departure in a short statement would suffice?
To be fair, they board have to meet and they have to decide on the future. That is the rules of the FAI. Its not their fault its a bit Media Scrum. So I dont think they could just release a statement. Also they have obviously decided that Staunton deserves to know before any of the media do and the best way is to have him their for the meeting and let him present his case. They will then discuss that and vote against him. They will let him know and then release a statement in time for the 9 o clock news.
Brian Kerr should have at least got the same treatment as Staunton did.

This the same Cyprus that Wales beat 3-0 at home, and Slovakia beat at home 7-1, yes??
It was actually 6 1 but your point is correct.

Just looked and San Marino are the only team to have scored less goals than us in the group.

They are after pulling a fast one on the media, and they are not in Santry at all at the Crowne Plaza. At least they got that right and they have been able to have the meeting out of the glare of the media.

Staunton has had his meeting in the Raddisson which lasted about half an hour. That meeting has now finished at the Board are now in a different hotel having a final meeting.

No meeting in the Crown Plaza, total ruse from the FAI to spare Stan the media, they met him in the Radison in Dublin airport!! Meeting with him over, they're still meeting at present.
That won't win them any friends in the media (as if they had any) but you have to laugh at it really!!
They might wait until tomorrow and try and to smuggle it out under the cover of Celtic
I think they did the right think and I would say **** the media in this instance. I usually think that you need to work with the media but in times like this it is important to get a bit of privacy for Staunton and the members to come in and out of the hotel with out a media scrum on top of them.

Tuff Paddy I am not fan of his at all and I am dying to see him go but I think it is better for all concerned if it is done out of the glare of the media if possible so I would say fair play to whoever came up with the plan to pull a fast one on the media tonight. Although I doubt the press guys are too happy about it.
