Just a real shame that the sudden demise of all sixteen of his grandmothers put about an end to that purple patch

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.

What ever about the result the low point for me was the FAI wheeling out Bobby Robson to defend Stan on the Joe Duffy show. To hear a once great football man being grilled by Duffy and his gobsh*te listeners who prob never go to a game was truly awful, unforgiveable stroke by the FAI.

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

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.

I could just about cope with yer man's injury time winner, but when Stan said on the post match interview that we showed great "team spirit", I nearly chucked the tv out the windows.
Team poxy spirit in beating that lot? THE low point watching Ireland. |

This 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.  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.

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. |

It may have been the ultimate reset button. A 2-1 win is probably well inside our top 5 worst results anyway. No positives to be taken out of this episode.

And if we're in similar circumstances (still an inept CEO but good manager) you'd actively hope our players don't get the win.  It's not the players fault there was a bad management set up at all levels and under Trap, I'm sure there were Irish fans hoping the team would fail in the short term to benefit us in the long term but it's poor form imo to not want our team to win every game no matter what you think of the management set up or structure around them at the time. I'd rather someone boycott the home and away games if you felt that way than want us to be embarrassed in San Marino because that would've been even worse than us getting out of jail with maximum points. Funnily enough Wales only beat them 2-1 over there too Don't really mean to be having a go at yourself or Irwin either.
 I just don't agree with the short term sacrifice for long term gain approach when all our Irish sides run themselves into the ground no matter who's in charge |
