Stan, the media and Irish fans

Its very hard to get behind a man with the personality of a brick.  He inspires no confidence in me as an overpriced ticket paying frustrated Irish supporter. We pay his wages so therefore we are intitled to press conferences with the man even though most of them are more cringeworthy than watching David Brent in the Office.  Its his job to talk to the media whether they slate him or not.  They arent slating him for nothing by the way. Its part of the job, what do people expect?..... fans and the media to tiptoe around an issue that are really passionate about! no way Jose!  He wpuldnt get abuse if he didnt talk utter sh*te aswell "San Marino will cause a few problems in this group" whatever mate, thats just pure and utter bo**ocks! At least have the decency to treat the Irish Supporter with a bit of intelligence.  

Like I said above, of course he has to entertain the media which by the way himself and Delaney have been dodgin all the way along and sticking Bobby out in the front line. We're just repeating ourselves here on this issue, the personal issues are fair game as we are paying supporters are intitled to know whats going on and are entitled to comment.  On this note, this is the only reason he is getting the abuse.  As irelands most capped player and as a loyal playing servant for years for the Irish team I have nothing but respect and admiration for the man but as manager....to put it nicely, wrong choice 

thats the problem, who's available and even so who would even want it now?  Roy Keane/Mother Therea Quinn part-time partnership, Aldo part-time with his singing career, Mike Bassett, Bertie Bassett, Alf the Alien from the 80's hit show.  I'd go with Jose who seems to be on his way out from Chelski though 

do the fai even have "top dollar" to spend on a manager?

i dont think that the money is there at all, if it was then why gamble on stan in the first place?
All the fai's money seems to be thrown towards the Landsdowne rd project

I dont understand their choice at all.  I presume they picked Stan cause they wanted someone in for the next 10 years but where do you see this nowadays in football except the odd one like Ferguson etc. What they should have done was made Robson number one on a 3 year contract and had the gaffer stan as his number 2.  They would both be on the same money as now presumably but without the nonsence of Mr Coach of the walsall reserves defence and free-kicks running the show! Short term and long term gains for them would have been sorted then with Sir Bobby in charge

Did you hear his comment about the booes boys at the bernard Dunne fight?'Different crowd at boxing matches, few jars on board'. He actually should have slated the muppets in the crowd that booed the players.  The players who were there have been in the Ireland setup a lot longer than the last year and dont deserve that bullsh*t from some arseholes!
