Announced today that he's getting his chance under Givens due to squad withdrawals. Good luck to him. Assuming he now gets a run out, it may...
I'd back your candidature! Purely, to read your posts here afterwards calling for your own head! :p
Nothing like spending a wee fortune on what Joe Ordinary would have told you in casual conversation over a pint of plain! Flipping heck, its not...
Anyone else a little bemused that its unquestionably assumed in the media and in general discussion that the new manager MUST be one Roy Keane...
The point I was suggesting was that if the rest of qualification does become a series of glorified friendlies, then future squads ought to be...
General consensus is unsurprisingly in favour of his return. Unsurprising, as soccer is, after all, a "results business"... I do think...
Here's a novel one: Johann Cruyff, as suggested by PJ Cunningham in today's Indo. BTW, Tochack is supposedly mulling over some Serie B...
Re: Re: Mcarthy Is Gone, Given the title of this thread, that's a fitting enough epitath to close it on. Any technical arguments regarding...
Well, we've endured weeks of debating the pros and cons of Mick keeping his job, so lets now turn the spotlight onto the other party to this...
Worst Memory? Eh, Saipan, surely!!! Best? Beating Yugoslavia 2-1. It was a pressure game and we stood toe-to-toe with a strong side and beat...
Just judging by some of the ugly reaction to his resignation, he's done the right thing to be shot of us! Corrupt politicans and businessmen go...
I'd say he's possibly as good as an English First Division striker, which, in the context of the Irish international team, pushes him close to the...
Some mad rumour doing the rounds that he'll retire live on the "Late Late" this Friday. Sounds like the rumour that Keane would "apologise" in...
Would like to be able to tell you for sure, but I strongly suspect that he has been released. We had a major striker crisis last month and I...
The situation is that Robson thought Given needed a mental break for a few days and "dropped" him for the Juve game. He wanted him to have nothing...
What I meant by "decent" was more in terms of personality. He's a gent, if perhaps lacking in a bit of charisma, and was shamefully abused at the...
Father Ted, I agree with pretty much everything you write and, indeed, your concluding paragraph is virtually identical to the one I wrote over...
Tuesday, October 22... A Arsenal v. Auxerre 3-0 A B. Dortmund v. PSV 2-0 B Basel v. Valencia 1-1 B Spartak v. Liverpool 1-1 C Madrid...
Of course! Don't get either my defence of McCarthy or my criticism of certain elements of the media wrong. To paint a picture that McCarthy is...
Whatever about "knee-jerk", it certainly is a bad case of "opportunism". There's been a segment of the media that have taken a personal dislike...
They've built a new main stand which is actually quite good. On the foulest of nights, you are completely bone dry and the view is completely...
I remember sitting at the top of the North Terrace against Estonia and there was a power failure for 10 minutes before the game. Not funny. Coz in...
Just a small point, really, but last night was the first one this season that the Tolka Park pitch looked a bit heavy and the players often...
My inital reaction to Wed was that its not yet beyond McCarthy to turn this around. I worked through Tom Humphries article today (Samarkand...
Despite rumours to the contrary, I actually know that a crowd has neither blown the ball into the net nor managed to blow it away from one....
