Trap has no respect for our country, our team, or what it means to be an Irish fan. For months and months the vast majority off FANS have been calling for his end at the helm of the Irish team. John Delaney is using the manager to hide behind the FAI’s awful performance. The fans who have spent their hard hard hard earned cash to support their team deserve better. Here’s why.
1. Our manager was successful in the past but dosent adapt and can’t come to a realization about how the game has changed.2. He is looking for a retirement fund and couldn’t care less about the future of Irish soccer when his contract is up. This was PROVED in Euro 2012 when he had the chance to give the young players, the future or our team, a run out but tried to save face with his tried and trusted to eventually get embarrassed by Italy. There was no better opportunity to get our future some top class international experience.
3. The players are there but our managers laziness, ignorance and cockiness in failing to go and watch them at club level has been an insult to our national pride as supporters. How many times did Gio fly to Toronto to see how terrible a defender O’Dea is?
4. The FAI have plenty of money, invest in a CURRENT world class manager. E.G: Harry Redknapp. Trapattoni was one of the least ever successful Italian managers but Delaney and Co got starstruck when his name came into the picture despite his horrible international record. We always try not to be smaller then the English at anything but there is NO WAY that they would hire a manager who was seen to be guiding a FC Salzburg through the Austrian mid table .
5. The man can’t adjust. He plays all he knows which is a defensive game. All of our young promising players are attack minded with the exception if Mabey Clarke and Coleman ( why Clarke didn’t play tonight is beyond me) yet this tool hasn’t got the respect or work ethic to play to our current strengths. It may not be as strong as others but its where we are at our best. Let the young fellas do what they do best , sure they will still get beaten but at least their experience will be a trying one to set us up for the future and not an experience that will make them dread international football.
I could go on and on but il get myself too worked up. Our management and possibly our whole association needs a Major change. Sort it out because if this is all that we have to show the English TWICE next year then I hope that they wreck the stadium again before the game can finish.

So for those of us who know not what this means, and are up for philosophical debate as to the state of soccer in Ireland, what does it mean?
