Agree fully , trap is massively influenced by the media, if it wasn't for the media banging on to him at every game , hoolahan would be nowhere near the squad, Sammon would be starting every game and McCarthy would probably have fcuked off to Scotland. Trap doesn't watch rte or read our papers , he isn't in the pub talking to fans , he went to feck all games before he got bollocked by the fai , his only influences are the media or delaney, that's it

Bit of a contradiction to say that Trap's influenced by the media if he doesn't watch RTE or read the papers. You really think he's more influenced by the questions at press conferences seeing as how you've said he doesn't read the finished articles articles than he is by the team of scouts such as Mick Martin and Frank Stapleton that report on players to him??

TBH ive never been convinced he's ever been influenced by Tardelli or the aforementioned. Judging by many of Tardelli's media briefings he knows little of what Trap is thinking, dont mind have an influence on selecting the squad. These were the men that were going week in week out to games in the 6 months between Estonia and Euros squad announcement and they came up with 1 new face?!

Also I4E; why do you think Trap began going to matches 2 days after Delaney's meeting? Called Hoolahan up? Reached out to Gibson? Off the top of my head thats what happened in the immediate aftermath which would be the case in years gone by. Its laughable to say that meeting didnt have any influence on Trap's behavior.

Yes I believe that he lives in a bubble and press conferences questions are one of the few things that breach that bubble. You can see it by how he loses the head with the press over players and tactics.

I think it's the opposite, the more the media bang on about something the less likely he is to do it. Think he's petty like that.

He was good but lets not forget who we were playing and his crossing is still awful

Really needs be more clinical in front of goal. Admitted in an interview that he just cant seem to hit the net for Ireland. Needs to chip in with more.

Well obviously I do Sono.I thought the hint that he got unfair criticism was implyed in my post
