That Slovak/Czech double header is legendary, nearly killed me.
 
1 night Vienna
2 nights Bratislava
4 nights Prague
1 night London
 
Rented a lovely apartment on Wenceslas Square right beside Scorpios.
 
Also stayed in the Crowne Plaza in Bratislava, armed security on every floor.

I'd never noticed the coincidence before:

Steve Staunton: 100th cap, a 1-1 draw against Germany, with an injury time equaliser.
John O'Shea: 100th cap, a 1-1 draw against Germany, with an injury time equaliser.

Obviously Stan didn't score his, but an interesting coincidence all the same.

Agree fully that it should have been Delaney or Stan on the interview but whatever treatment he got on Liveline was timid to what he got over the years from the English media. I doubt he even gave it a second thought.

the indignity, the cowardice of it. hiding behind this frail old  great football man was pathetic.

So your saying that JOS could potentially become our next manager?

Yep. Was a measure of how spineless Delaney is. Let's not forget appointing Stan was his decision.

The players should have been blamed and taken as much of the flack as Stan did for that result in San Marino, he was clearly out of his depth managing at that level "but" when you have a team full of Premiership/Championship players needing an injury team winner against police officers, dentists and the odd part time pro (Selva the exception) then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Fast forward 10 years, we now see how football has evolved and that the smaller teams are getting better tactically but the players were cowards that night imo.

I agree with that. There was enough quality and experience on that pitch for a couple of leaders to step up and do a professional job. I can still feel the relief when Ireland scored, Kerr's reaction summed it up.

Trying not to sound heartless here but, that frail old great football man was picking up €250k a year. It wasn't like they put Charlie O'Leary out to defend the team!

I was watching 'The Charlton Years' with Colm Meaney again the other day, himelf and Mick Byrne come across as full of their own importance, especially in comparison to the likes of Jack and Quinn who had reason to be.

what he was on was irrelevant, he was nothing more than an ambassador. he cannot be held responsible for the debacle. a man with such a distinguished career being lambasted by halfwits on what is ireland version of the public stocks. Delaney knew what he was in for, i very much robson knew. It was absolutely disgusting to be honest and it shows what sort of character delaney is. The fact he is still helm a decade later says alot about this country.

Ah hear, it's not like they exploited a vulnerable old man. If he's not up for answering the questions he shouldn't have taken the job.

Fresh off an operation to get a brain tumour removed, he was shouted at on national radio over whether or not he had Steve Staunton on speed dial by Joe Duffy.
 
It was an absolute disgrace.

Going on Joe Duffy alone is ridiculous. Should never have been the case but apart from that, I can't see what he did for Ireland.

Sad to see him pass away but he may have felt he had to do it as he hadn't been able to do much else through illness.
