Lets have a great time, but let's also be a little embarrassed and not revel in the mediocrity is what I am saying. And please, no more "you'll never beat the..."

(Shudders) who me?

I have a problem with us being EXTREMELY bad on the field, and us contenting ourselves with being great fans. Ah sure we're great - it does smack of gobshite-ery. I am as proud as the next person at how fun loving, kind, decent, and honorable we are at these tournaments, always great, with no hooligan element, which is unheard of. But it goes a bit further sometimes, where we make ourselves look silly. We won't be better at the game unless we get a little more disappointed, and a little unhappier at our performances with some kind of a push for new coaching structures, a new footballing ethic like other small countries.

Absolutely no problems with wanting more from team and management. Calling the fans gobshites is over the top though.
 
Roy Keane hasn't got anything of particular interest to say these days so to get noticed he says something controversial instead.
Thank heavens there aren't any posters on here like that
 
Indeed count. I thank the lord every day we're all of sound mind and not prone to Excessive passion. Domo Arigato and all that

What was Trap thinking with the subs anyway ?

Even the lads in the studio had it right, Whelan and Keane needed to come off at halftime. Instead Trap did everything but the obvious. He takes off McGeady who was the only player giving the Italians problems. He brings on Long in his place, he moves Doyle out wide right... ? He then brings on Walters for Doyle and moves Long out wide right.

And I think Giles hit the nail firmly on the head with one comment, they were talking about Trap's 'system' , Giles said if your system can't accommodate good skilful footballers then the system is wrong.

Whoa, I thought managers didn't make any difference?
