Just thought it'd be interesting to record how individual fans are feeling themselves in the aftermath of tonight and the last weekend. For me its more than just missing out on Rio - hugely disappointing and all that it is - its a whole lot more than the missed tournament. That seems slightly secondary at the minute, Although I don't prescribe to the Brady nonsense that we've no good players coming through, I think the next few years are going to be tough enough and Euro 2016 - which I personally thought would be straightforward enough for us to get to - seems a bit further away right now. Anyone else... ------------- 'Joxer Goes to Poznan' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEjtiJ9udkM |

pretty much exactly how i feel you summed it up right there. I didn't share your opinion about the trigger happy statement, part of me wondered would they keep him til june so i was actually pleased when i read it, but when you put it like that then yes another 12 hours would not have hurt anyone |

What hurts the most is comparing our performance vs England to the games over the past 4 days. The difference is night and day. We knew from the start we had probably the 2nd hardest group out the lot (1st being the group which contains Spain and France) but we dropped 4 points against a team who we should be beating anyday.

| I didn't think we would qualify from this group from the start so not bitterly disappointed. Very pissed off with the way we went down without a fight though. Glad that it spells the end of the Trap era, albeit 12 months later than it should have ended. On the plus side, I've just come off the beach after a day of sunbathing and swimming in the Carribean Sea. Maybe that's after tempering some of my anger about our performances!! |

| hoping we dont appoint a new manager until after the campaign. imagine a new managers first game being an away game to germany without key players and then playing kazakstan in an empty aviva. no feel good factor,no momentum. id put a caretaker in for those two games and then make an official appointment. |

I still held out hope to be honest even after the Sweden result came in. Tiny, sh*tty little bit of hope that I factor into too many aspects of my life. Decided to do an SHL data assessment test there now for a trainee train driver job that I really really really want and think i've probably ballsed that up as well, so I'm ina bad place right now. Think Ron Burgundy when he is stumbling through the streets of San Francisco swalling a lukewarm pint of milk after he lost his job, I'm that f**king low.

 Jaysus man. Think that's where the line between life and sport should probably be drawn.Know the feeling though. I missed Paris 2009 because I had parent-teacher meetings all the next day (having book the trip before finding out the PT meeting schedules!). Not sure I was the most amiable chap the next day. Luckily I'm off tomorrow. Plan on spending the day recovering from a night of sh*te beer and on watching the aftermath of the WC campaign unfold on the internet.  ------------- 'Joxer Goes to Poznan' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEjtiJ9udkM |

I got asked to do the test on Friday and had always planned to do it tonight as I only got back from Ireland last night so the two aren't linked really. It was some online bollix, stage three (of five) in the application process. Just have a bad feeling about the thing although I'm probably down because of the football. Anyway they don't give you the results so hopefully my sense of doom is a football thing and i'll be driving city boys from deepest darkest Berkshire into Paddington and whistling the 'Rocky Road to Rio' before long......oh wait!!

Not as disappointed as on Friday. That's the game that truly killed it off in my opinion. The players looked like they knew it was over after that and it was a proper kick in the nuts. Hate the fact we've two (pretty much) pointless games coming up now. Can't work out all the time but I did figure we had a chance of doing a much better job than this.

Well good luck with that anyway. Ireland games on the eve of an important day in the real world aren't generally ideal. Think we all find that out at some point.  ------------- 'Joxer Goes to Poznan' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEjtiJ9udkM |

Nothing could equal the feeling in Paris 09 inside that stadium, the emotions were horrible, this is easier to take slightly as we have been sh*te all campaign and didnt get robbed by a stupid decision from the referee. I do think that we would have struggled under any manager this campaign but possibly would have been closer to second spot than what we are, time to move on and put this campaign to forget behind us, too many lows. |

Gutted for the fans who travelled to witness such clueless, shapeless sh*te. Embarrassment at being associated with such primitive tactics. Angry that players who might made a difference were omitted. Sad that Trap's era is ending in rancor rather than respect. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

I have a feeling of "Meh"...after the euros I didnt expect us to get second in the group we had. Our performances were all flat and lifeless and the trips to lansdowne were mostly big anticlimaxes. Had resigned myself to watching the failure slowly unravel and the media circus that will follow. As someone posted in another thread the other day..."Its the hope that kills you" Thats all that was keeping me going..a glimmer of hope that messes you up and makes you think irrational thoughts like we could actually get wins against Sweden and Austria. Now I just feel..ok its done..thanks and good luck Trap..who will we get next etc etc |

Frustrated - the last year to 15 months has been a waste, in hindsight. Persisting with these prehistoric methods and joke of a 'system'. In hindsight again, this campaign should have been used as a rebuilding period Hopeful - a new manager will mean a new start, hopefully putting pride back in the jersey, getting all players pulling in the right direction, putting our best XI on the pitch, get bigger crowds at matches with a better atmosphere as we'll surely be playing a better style of football, and hopefully making us hard to beat and capable of taking the odd big scalp (maybe being too hopeful here) Slightly concerned - goalkeepeing situation. Age of our centre backs and standard of those who will replace them. No-one to replace Robbies goals. No quality partner for James McCarthy |

If i'm brutally honest i'm glad its come to an end.
I posted at the outset of qualifying that we'd finish 4th in the group and don't take any pleasure in being right. It was blatantly obvious that the man knew the writing was on the wall and was looking after his pension fund.
The FAI took a massive gamble in giving trap a new contract and it went pear shaped. Maybe the FAI might think again about allowing a private individual fund the national team managers salary. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Realistically we were finished after the home game to Germany. It wasn't just the three points lost but the way we lost that game, there is a right way to lose a game and a wrong way. If Germany wanted to they could have scored 7, 8 or 9 that night. Nothing was right in the squad and everything was wrong. I was never more pessimistic going into the home Sweden game, we had been awful at home in this campaign and there was nothing to suggest that anything was going to change. Last night was poor stuff, there was only one decent player on the field and he made the difference. How do I feel?... relieved it is over but frustrated and disappointed that this has been a wasted campaign. We are not at the level of Germany but we definitely should be competing with the likes of Sweden and Austria. Dropping four points to each of these sides is playing way below the level of our players and the responsibility for this must fall at the feet of the management. We should be going into these last two games fighting for second spot and then crossing the fingers for a half decent draw in the play offs. We are out with two games yet to play. How do I feel now .... hopeful ...because there is always hope. A new campaign awaits in a little over a year. |

I think looking for someone to blame really !!! Discussed the recent plan to reduce the number of foreigners in the Premier League and the possible effects it would have on the Irish national Team and I came to a conclusion that it may not be a bad thing if players stayed here (league of Ireland ) a bit longer it would make the league a bit stronger or if players moved to continental Europe to the likes of the Dutch and Belgian leagues they maybe develop in to better technical players. It is no coincidence that Wales, Scotland, NI and ourselves had abysmal world cup qualifying campaigns when we all depend so much on the English system. I honestly think our grassroots football isn't that bad but as players develop they are thrown into the English system of playing the game. If anyone saw the highlights of the England v Ukraine game last night they were muck to watch. ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |

EU employment rights guarantee freedom of movement between states so a cap on foreign players would be of limited effect. From an Irish perspective the lack of Irish players with top clubs is worrying. We have four players at top six clubs in EPL (all at Everton) and only one player in the CL (Stokes).The JM Bosman rule has totally transformed how clubs look at recruiting players and nowadays those clubs with academies have kids from all over the globe when previously it was usually kids from GB and I with the knock on effect for the development of young irish and british players.
The challange we have is how to maximise or perforances with the players at our disposal.

Disappointed that we wont get to play at another WC finals. Not disappointed Trap's gone. Was tired of the excessive hoof ball tactic. When Robbie said last weekend that we've always played that way, it was not quite true, as previous encumbents since Charlton, have at least tried to that we keep the ball, albeit in a limited fashion. Watching us at home had become torturous. However, I'm sad that we do not have the kind of quality that we've had in the past and no matter who the new manager is that comes in, it will take a little rebuilding to get us back competitive again. |
