Disappointed that we wont get to play at another WC finals.
Not disappointed Trap's gone. Was tired of the excessive hoof ball tactic. When Robbie said last weekend that we've always played that way, it was not quite true, as previous encumbents since Charlton, have at least tried to that we keep the ball, albeit in a limited fashion. Watching us at home had become torturous. However, I'm sad that we do not have the kind of quality that we've had in the past and no matter who the new manager is that comes in, it will take a little rebuilding to get us back competitive again. |

EU employment rights guarantee freedom of movement between states so a cap on foreign players would be of limited effect. From an Irish perspective the lack of Irish players with top clubs is worrying. We have four players at top six clubs in EPL (all at Everton) and only one player in the CL (Stokes).The JM Bosman rule has totally transformed how clubs look at recruiting players and nowadays those clubs with academies have kids from all over the globe when previously it was usually kids from GB and I with the knock on effect for the development of young irish and british players.
The challange we have is how to maximise or perforances with the players at our disposal.

I think looking for someone to blame really !!! Discussed the recent plan to reduce the number of foreigners in the Premier League and the possible effects it would have on the Irish national Team and I came to a conclusion that it may not be a bad thing if players stayed here (league of Ireland ) a bit longer it would make the league a bit stronger or if players moved to continental Europe to the likes of the Dutch and Belgian leagues they maybe develop in to better technical players. It is no coincidence that Wales, Scotland, NI and ourselves had abysmal world cup qualifying campaigns when we all depend so much on the English system. I honestly think our grassroots football isn't that bad but as players develop they are thrown into the English system of playing the game. If anyone saw the highlights of the England v Ukraine game last night they were muck to watch.

Realistically we were finished after the home game to Germany. It wasn't just the three points lost but the way we lost that game, there is a right way to lose a game and a wrong way. If Germany wanted to they could have scored 7, 8 or 9 that night. Nothing was right in the squad and everything was wrong.
I was never more pessimistic going into the home Sweden game, we had been awful at home in this campaign and there was nothing to suggest that anything was going to change. Last night was poor stuff, there was only one decent player on the field and he made the difference. How do I feel?... relieved it is over but frustrated and disappointed that this has been a wasted campaign. We are not at the level of Germany but we definitely should be competing with the likes of Sweden and Austria. Dropping four points to each of these sides is playing way below the level of our players and the responsibility for this must fall at the feet of the management. We should be going into these last two games fighting for second spot and then crossing the fingers for a half decent draw in the play offs. We are out with two games yet to play. How do I feel now .... hopeful ...because there is always hope. A new campaign awaits in a little over a year. Edited by nice triangles - 11 Sep 2013 at 11:06am |

If i'm brutally honest i'm glad its come to an end.
I posted at the outset of qualifying that we'd finish 4th in the group and don't take any pleasure in being right. It was blatantly obvious that the man knew the writing was on the wall and was looking after his pension fund.
The FAI took a massive gamble in giving trap a new contract and it went pear shaped. Maybe the FAI might think again about allowing a private individual fund the national team managers salary.

Frustrated - the last year to 15 months has been a waste, in hindsight. Persisting with these prehistoric methods and joke of a 'system'. In hindsight again, this campaign should have been used as a rebuilding period
Hopeful - a new manager will mean a new start, hopefully putting pride back in the jersey, getting all players pulling in the right direction, putting our best XI on the pitch, get bigger crowds at matches with a better atmosphere as we'll surely be playing a better style of football, and hopefully making us hard to beat and capable of taking the odd big scalp (maybe being too hopeful here) Slightly concerned - goalkeepeing situation. Age of our centre backs and standard of those who will replace them. No-one to replace Robbies goals. No quality partner for James McCarthy Edited by Roberto Baggio - 11 Sep 2013 at 10:30am |

Strangely enough I was the same, the inevitability of failure no matter what happened probably contributed. |

It had for me the same felling as when we played Cyprus at home under Stan...everyone knew the game was up,players and fans pissed off and total confusion on and off the field.....with a manger desperately trying to keep some dignity....all in all a shambles really.
