they were actually pretty damn close and im not sayin NI didnt do very well and had they got true id of been up for them to win but lets not kid ourselves Ireland are by far the better team

Ireland's players are better players but Norn Iron have been a better team lately.
Steve Staunton has to take a good bit of blame for the team not gelling, and those twats at the FAI have a lot to answer for as well.
We want Trap!!!!

Yes, better how?
ranked higher? no
Done better recently? no
Closer to qualifying? no, you were 11 points short and were out by halfway through, we could have still gone through from the last round if results had gone our way, and lets be fair you had a pretty poor group outside the top two.
So thats right we are a better team at the moment, I am not denying that in the past you were better but for the last 2 years we have been.

True, but hopefully a new manager whos not an eejit can get our lads firing again, kinda like Scotland were. They're close enough to us quality wise but they gelled way better tha Ireland. We need a manager that doesnt think San Marino are a "difficult team to break down" LMFAO.

ya last 2 years you have been but hopefully with a new manager we will be

Steve Staunton and Eddie O'Sullivan the saviours of Irish sport, or in other words coachs who can't get a job elsewhere and should/have been sacked, Staunton annoyed me, because he was just awful, O'Sullivan annoys me because he thinks he is God's gift to rugby.
