some words of wisdom from our leader in today's Indo: http://www.unison.ie/sportsdesk/stor...=12&si=1786638
stevie you f*cking tw*t just in case you dont realise or have the memory of a f*cking goldfish here is a list of the premiership players you have at your disposal (including those who are out injured)
Bolton - Joey O'Brien
Everton - Lee Carsley
Sheffield United - Alan Quinn
Stephen Quinn
Paddy Kenny
Derek Geary
Reading - Kevin Doyle
Stephen Hunt
Shane Long
Newcastle Utd. - Steven Carr
Shay Given
Damien Duff
Portsmouth - Andy O'Brien
Spurs - Robbie Keane
Blackburn - Steven Reid
Charlton - Andy Reid
Liverpool - Steve Finnan
Man City - Steven Ireland
Richard Dunne
Wigan - Kevin Kilbane
Man Utd - John O'Shea
Also take into consideration Darren O'Dea and Aiden McGeady who are getting invaluable Champions Leage experience.
Also some fringe players like alan o'brien and eddie nolan who are being slowly introduced by their clubs along with cillian sheridan.
Thats an almost 23 man squad who when fit are playing at the top level.
Now add in the up and coming players in the championship etc and its fairly obvious that with a manager in place we have massive potential. This bulls*it about rebuilding is only a smokescreen. The nucleus is there already.
Stan please go away and sort youself out for the sake of us all
I have a head only Snow White would love
matchday squad off the top of my head from the premiership:
given
finnan
dunne
o'shea
geary
duff
ireland
a.reid
s.reid
keane
doyle
subs:
kenny
andy o'brien
stephen quinn
alan quinn
stephen hunt
granted the 2 reid's are currently injured, but that starting xi is fairly strong,
I'm aware andy o'brien on the bench doesn't play much, but he is still in the premiership
that's still not including the likes of McGeady, O'Dea, or Ian Harte.
next season could see any number from McShane, Stephen Kelly, Stokes, Miller, Connolly, Murphy, Elliott, Keogh, Ward all added to that list
<edit>
just went through your list greendeiseboy, I forgot long, kilbane, carsley and carr!
"A lot of our squad is coming from the Championship, which I'm not saying isn't a high standard, but there is a big jump from Championship to Premiership to international football.
I don't understand comments like this. How is there a jump from Premiership football to games against nations like San Marino and Cyprus (or for that matter from Championship football to those types of games).
"Will it be an inspiration to us? Well, I hope it doesn't work against us. I know the Welsh will be hoping for that," Staunton admitted.
Well that's the next excuse lined up. After getting outplayed by the Welsh and losing he'll tell us that there's nothing a manager can do when the opposing team is fired up to play in a world class venue, and that it didn't help that his own side had never played at Croke Park before so it wasn't really a home game.
whatever he's smoking I want some!
"If God had meant football to be played in the air, he'd have put grass in the sky." Brian Clough.
You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Lets just hope theres still something to play for come September lads. If you fancy chancing your arm for the Czech game check out the following...

He's not a leader or an inspiration to the team. If it's such a big jump from championship to international ,what sort of a jump is it for somebody that handed the bibs out and set up the cones at walsall to international manager in one swoop.

When i saw the edited part, I thought he'd been trying to get us playing Astroturf on Tuesday nights in the hope of making Stans squad.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
I actually cringe now reading his interviews. the **** he spouts is unbelievable.Every Irish manager has struggled to have top class strikers at their disposale. Staunton has at the moment. Also IMO he has a stronger squad than McCarthy ever had.
i reckon if we lost the two next games and the clamour for him to leave reached mega proportions , he still would not resign.
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
He's a dunce. The man has been making excuses from day one trying to cover the mistakes he knew he was going to make. There is nothing wrong with our current squad it's better than anything McCarthy or Kerr had to work with.
Ginger tw*t.

I had a feeling youngirish would be in this thread. Any excuse to use one of those asterix he uses in every post. He's worse than Colin Farrell.Originally Posted by osarusan
or yourself and that yellow smiley.....
I'm a smiley person. Smilies are there to express your emotions. If I post a smiley obviously my sentence is a little light hearted, I don't know. I only use them for good reason. Take the smilies out of my above post and it looks like I'm having a go at youngirish.
Anyway, swearing in every post just comes across as very aggressive.

Everyone swears I know in everyday chit chat all the time there's nothing aggressive about it. Most Irish people I know converse that way. It distinguishes us from the Queen.
What do clowns like Delaney and his spinmasters think of Stans gibberish? It is just offensive stuff at this stage. And I agree with one of the earlier posts that Stan will never resign. Or Delaney for that matter. Both will have to be forced out by the fans and media.
