I`ll freely admit I was willing San Marino to hold on for the draw, it would have been massive for them and it would've helped us get rid of Stan.


Same here. Was actually slightly raging when Stephen Ireland got the winner as it got JD off the hook. No way could Stan have survived if it had remained 1-1
Ya it was a surreal feeling when Ireland scored,  I was gutted for San Marino. I had  given up qualification hopes long before the game so I was just hoping a rock bottom result like that would shake the sh1t out of Irish football.
 
 
Honestly fcuk San Marino. Let them worry about themselves.
 
You'd be quiet happy for us to have had another 'Leichenstein' and forever be associated with an embarrassing draw in San Marino that would make us a laughing stock?! Confused
 
I can understand the lads on here not attending Ireland games due their bad treatment by the FAI but to not want the team to win 100% of the time just means you can't possibly call yourself an Irish supporter/fan as it's conditional on certain factors manager/CEO/state of Irish football.
Ah will you go away out of that crap.
I was hoping for rock bottom so we could get rid of an inept manager and potentially put pressure on an inept CEO.
I`m positive I wasn't the only one with this mind-set and it just highlights the bleak period we were going through.

What's this about, did the thick end up going to San Francisco or something?

At a guess, I'm going to say Miami.

Team poxy spirit in beating that lot?

THE low point watching Ireland.

Imagine needing 'great team spirit' to beat a poxy crowd like San Marino! We should have been well able to coast to an effortless win like we had done in Dublin. Angry
 
I can't remember being so angry and embarrassed watching Ireland as I was that night. The 5-2 against Cyprus was close enough though, when the alarm bells first started ringing on Stan's reign.
The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

I think now with the passage of time Stan will once again be remembered fondly for the player he was, now that the wounds from his disastrous campaign have subsided. Personally i'd be happy if at any mention of Stan in an Irish football context his managerial stint was never again acknowledged. A decent man and a figure the Irish football public were fond of thrown in completely out of his depth, but i don't begrudge him for taking the job on.

Bobby should have told Delaney to go and f**k himself. He owed us nothing.

That's hardly Zeno behind the 'Delaney Out' banner?

I like that sentence Reddladd. Something vary catchy about it and would look great on a banner draping from the top of Landsdowne Rd ... sorry Aviva

He got the transplant by the time of the away game in Slovakia and apparently was sensitive to the sl*gging. Don't know how much truth was in that story.
 
He took his goal brilliantly in that away game after a smart dummy by Keane. Fantastic first touch very classy cool finish.
 
And to think he's still only 30 years old. Would've been a great asset to have if he had a good attitude.
