Trap should have gone after the Euros, crazy keeping him in charge after that.

Didn't he sign a contract extension before the Euro 2012 finals?
If we somehow have of had a decent Euro finals tournament, and Trap went elsewhere after it because someone else had offered him a job, people would have been screaming from the rooftops about the stupidity of the FAI.
2010 missed out to France playoff.
2012 qualification.

Spot on. 

Regardless of how the Euros went and we were never going to get out of that group no matter who was in charge, Trap deserved at least another campaign. 

Bottom line is we were successful under Trap up until then and any unlikely progress made out of that Euro 2012 group was seen as a bonus.

People also seem to forget that we were unlucky in that first game against Croatia, had decisions go against us and players individual mistakes cost us badly in at least 2 of the games. Trap can't be blamed entirely for Euro 2012 imo. 

Ask Welsh, Scottish and N.I. fans if they'd have taken Trap's approach and qualification in their wilderness years.

No matter who is at the helm for us it wont matter in regards of flair and skill . People must realise our realistic capabilities with the pool of players that we have . Yes we can stick it up to the big boys and frustrate the f**k out of them and maybe nick a goal for a result but how many times have you seen us go out and wipe the floor against our opponents and not even the big boys but the lesser teams i.e. Moldova as an example . Nothing is ever guaranteed with Ireland apart from having your nerves shot to pieces

Both managers that qualified us for major tournaments like only 2 others that managed too previously.

Always refreshing to see Ireland supporters not being driven by their own agenda and show appreciation for what both managers achieved.

It wouldn't take much for us to be like Scotland over the last few years and other than traps last campaign that has not happened.
