And yes I travelled Europe long before jack and the ole ole boys arrived. It was the blind ignorance of a majority of fans of the international team to the damage being inflicted on our Irish football by Delaney and his gang of fools. Monaghan Utd anyone? f**k that let’s buy the “lads” a few beers and ignore them. Never forgiven them, and the international players who just went along with Delaney, you know who they are as well as me.

An ex player doing whatever is hardly a reason to stop supporting the team. I've heard numerous reasons down the years for people giving up on the team. No longer being able to get tickets (early 1990's) was sometimes thrown out, along with issues with the style of football. Then in later years Delaney was given as the reason.

Not that people have to justify themselves to me but the one reason I heard that made sense (to me at least) was that because of the number of non Irish born players that clearly viewed us as second choice, they felt that the team did not represent them anymore. I personally wouldn't go as far as to stop supporting the team over it but I can see the logic.

I suppose the crux of the point I'm making is that the vast majority of people that stop supporting the team do so because of reasons that have nothing to do with the 11 players on the pitch. It's Delaney, tickets, LOI, style of play (dictated by the manager not the players). There are of course those that aren't arsed anymore. I think a lot of those hide behind the reasons above.

Do you mean specifically me? Remind me again who that player is.....

if you cared to research that one, you’d find a lot of posts from yours truly opposed to us signing that f**ker.

I get he’s short of confidence etc but no excuse for the carry on at the end there. Wants a kick up the backside for it. Could have cost his team dearly. 

Whiff of I preferred arcade fire when nobody knew them from oldbillys posts on here. 

Haven't seen much of Southampton this season but have them on here v Man United. Bazunu has made a few saves and 23 mins in. Two of them involved Bazunu having to take a risky enough run off his line due to defenders caught high or napping. His season has been divisive but I can see how he is conceding goals with this defence and the need to be focused absolutely all the time.
