If we stop going to the Aviva the FAI will soon get rid of him when the revenue shrinks.

Put yesterday’s team up against Sligo rovers team… Who would u put ur money on !!!

So he’s basically saying these players are shit so you can’t expect to do anything with them, despite earning over a million a year.

I was gonna leave a huge rant against the man but what’s the point!!

The man makes strange decisions in selection and tactics. He doesn’t even go to watch players playing for their clubs. Please bite the bullet and sack him now!

on one condition…..he takes Delaney with him

it is obvious that something is not right with the management of this team. he picks players he likes for whatever reason leaving better ones on the bench or not even in the squad. the players look jaded and unhappy . I think a league of Ireland 11 would have done much better or at least shown more fight.

He should go & it’s that simple. It’s down to the manager to sense that things are not going well on the pitch & it’s him & only him that can change personal, no changes at half time & an obvious uninspiring team talk, he should do the honourable thing & resign with out the massive payout he knows we cannot afford. As for Liam Brady he is supposed to be a pundit not a big sour faced baby refusing to state the obvious out of loyalty to trap. Roll on the Faroe islands whom I am sure are odds on favourites at this stage to get a result.

I backed him when everybody wanted him out, we are a nation of just a few million and just gettung to the euro’s was a great achievment, we have shockingly run grassroots level, kids have there confidence sucked out off them with coaches only wanting to win to feed ego. Trap has to go now and take some of the F.A.I elite with him, we need start again from the ground up.

please leave…. I spent money on a jersey…. I wanna wear it…

In protest, I’m not going to the match on Tuesday, in the Faroe Islands.

The man is deluded! while I admit we have a limited pool of players, how dare he implicate that the poor performance is solely down to them. He got his selection, formation, tactics and mentality wrong. He’s stubborn and an egotist that cares nothing for this country. Go now please Mr. Tapatonni and take the rags of your reputation with you.

Having travelling to Dublin from the West last night to see a packed stadium leave dejected I will go to the Showgrounds this afternoon to see a packed stadium hopefully not leave so dejected. The difference is that in the league decider that takes palces this afternoon the prize money that goes to the League of Ireland champions will be €100k which is less than a months salary for Trap.

The reality is that the FAI is now almost entirely reliant on the LoI clubs to produce its talent now as the UK clubs no longer take hundreds of teenagers over as they did in the past. Players like Ward, Coleman, Fahey, Long etc are all irish born players who are the products of LoI clubs. The only Irish born players who have been in England are Brady and O’Shea although in O’Shea’s case he only went to England after his Leaving Cert.

With offering any excuse for Trap it is simply that with out the pool of players no manager can create a team. The money spend on Trap, John Delaney et al would be better served being invested in the game locally and try to produce our our talent. Failing that we will return to the days of scouring out the guys without caps for England who might have an Irish granny hidden on the family tree.

This is not about Trap and systems and selections, this not about filling Landsdowne five times a year, it is about and root and branch review of the FAI and its operation. If it does not happen we will be back with San Marino and the likes in no time at all

people saying we have no decent players are just wrong.we have some fine young talent but he just refuses to pick them.these players need to get experience now or we will be shite in the next campaign for the euros.time to get someone else in now

Why can’t he learn some English – after 4 years at €1,400,000 p. a. it’s the least you’d expect, his post match interview last night was gibberish (as usual).

If he any respect for the team and the Irish supporters he should step aside straight away, it’s not working and not going to work.

No sign of John Delaney the last while, where is this guy he has questions to answer

Einstein said ‘the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect to get different results’. Einstein was a genius and Trapatonni is clearly insane. Trap out!

I think I should manage the Irish team. If anybody doubts my credentials here they are :
I haven’t a clue….just like the FAI but with one major difference : I know I haven’t a clue.

Have your translator translate this trap..F**K OFF!!!

Just go now, you stubborn old fool.

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.

Delaney should have gone years ago then we wouldn’t have this stuttering Muppet trying to ruin our national pride.

It not going to get any better under trap now. Time for change. The rot has already set in. From a footballing point of view, some of the German goals were top drawer.

It may sound unpatriotic but would it help Irish football in the long term if we were roundly beaten in the Faroes? Is there any possibility at all that the FAI would be compelled to act then and that we would have a new manager in place by March for the next competitive match. From what I’m reading he doesn’t seem to be taking any blame at all for last night. They just don’t seem hungry or want to play for him.

While we do have a limited selection at the moment I would much prefer to see a team of young players giving 100% for our country and having pride in the jersey. That will never happen with Trappatoni. How can he play Cox on the wing and bring on Keogh. No disrespect to theses lads but there are better lads than these. I think we should send Sligo Rovers to the Faroese, at least they would have some pride

yep trap wont go till he is sacked and gets paid off . Well done Delaney !

There. Is something wrong with his ‘MENTALITY’
I now hate this word

For all you trap loyalists.

The last 5 competitive matches.
16 goals conceded.
4 scored.

Remind me again how you think his stubborn defensive tactics work?

The man is obviously senile

How can you motivate a group of players when the manger can’t even speak English keano is the only man for the job if keano was manager last night a few of the Irish players would be in a&e last night for such a sh t display

throw in Cork ladies team …now thats a team !!!

Relax , we pay John Delaney 360000 euro a year to be the CEO for our football association so we can have every confidence ** that he will sort out the problem with Trapp. ** disclaimer** may contain sarcasm.

please just leave……1.5mln for this pure nonsense…. does he even know what his job is……

Trap ,show a bit of respect to Ireland and GO NOW PLEASE !

Das Boot was on Film4 last night, seen it many times before but I watched it again just to see how the Germans like it being cooped up, terrified and subjected to a seemingly endless assault :P

Trap, please leave the table now.

Bring back Mick the only mistake he made was putting up with Roy k ,, thought he done a good job

So we replace McCarthy, Kerr, Staunton and now trap….

Yes, it must be the managers fault… Nothing to do with the crap team we have at all then no?!!

cut out the cancer-get rid of that cowboy delaney!

Seriously your spelling is atrocious lads. Who wrote this?!!

David O Leary for the job, did a great job at Leeds with a lot of young inexperienced players, job is perfect for him. Wouldn’t be worried about the money either

This man is obviously a cute hoor, how many 70 year olds pulling in 1.5 million quid do you know? I’m Irish and proud to be, this arrogance fromTrap is disgraceful .

Trap out.doesnt even know where we are in world rankings.clown

Give Brian Kerr another crack at it ….we have nothing to lose ……he would be cheaper too….

At the end of the day Trap has to go but let’s not forget what he did, nearly got to the World Cup and went to the euros, all be it we got hammered! No disrespect to him but trap doesn’t have any drive and even Kerr had that. We need someone who will get the head down and go see players and give everyone a chance. My feelings are get him out but remember what he did.

w

URGENTLY NEEDED – A PROUD IRISH MAN WITH VISION, CONVICTION & MOTIVATIONAL SKILLS – NOT A MERCENARY !!
E.G. Jim McGuinness who has as much coaching experience now as Brian Kerr had when appointed & is a lot easier on the eye !!

The team was Thorn apart???? Come on, if you are going to slag off a team for doing their job badly at least do yours properly!

I watched Ireland last night and was not only cheesed off with the way they played I was embarrassed. When they play again I would think twice about sitting through the game. Trap should go thats for sure but I think its his salary that stops him. It would not make any difference who replaced him because the players are not there anyway. Ireland simply will not have a team unless proper players are taken on. By the way, if I were to choose Traps replacement it would be Eamon Dunphy.

Harry Redknapp anybody???

Can I ask who you guys would pick given the choice then? Ferguson? Muriniho? Maradonna? Whoever, i guarantee you would he calling for his resignation again in 2 years time and still refusing to believe that the team are crap!

I love lamp

I am afraid with Murinho and Ferguson coaching Ireland that score wouldn’t much different. Just players of completely different class in both teams. Trap should go I agree, but it is still going years to fix Irish football, which you could agree never was brilliant in first place. Hard job whoever takes it.

A manager bereft of ideas + a team of average at best players = the results we are getting !!!!!! Doesn’t matter what manager we have in place now or in the future. We just do not possess the required standard of player to compete with Spain, Italy, Croatia, Germany etc !!!! Unless the FAI spend money developing football at grassroots in this country we will continue to fall further behind. Unfortunately with the organisation in the hands of John Delaney the future is looking quite bleak. I’m bored now !!!

It’s the players and Damon dunphy fault.

For an ‘old fool’ he has done wonders for Ireland and you cannot deny that. They didn’t get to the Euros by themselves with next to all of them wins or draws. Who would have thought we could get that far? Who would have thought we could be qualifying for another cup now? Sure, the Euros were painful but I am not sure that was Traps fault. Sure, last night was painful but your playing one of the best teams in Europe against a limited experienced side. I was at the match and we didn’t play very well, Germany dominated the game. I had hoped we could lock them down to a scoreless draw, but alas, it wasn’t to be.

I’m not so sure had Shane Long been on at the start would it have made much of a difference. Likewise with Brady and so on. He mixed the team up with a lot of ‘new’ players due to injuries and they just were not able for a team like Germany. It doesn’t matter who started – those who people want to play in the team were incapable of doing very much against Germany and the players are not with teams that are exactly capable of playing very well (with the exception of Brady perhaps, but he isn’t in the first team).

What the FAI needs to do is sit down with trap about the selections and try get him to change things about. Include players more frequently and shrug off any grudges or ill feeling towards certain players. At the end of the day, the experienced players for Ireland are getting far and few between so Trap needs to get others to step up to the mark and take their places.

Trap is losing matches, trap is losing games…..
