Topic: The Republic of Ireland Football Thread (Not A Home Nation)

[Anywhichwayicant]

This rivals the GAA thread

edit - actually no it doesn't come close.

Why the change of heart?

[Lawnmowerman]

Who can name the only Irish manager to go through an entire world cup qualifying group campaign without a single defeat?

Is this a trick question yeah? Was it Trap when manager of the Italians?

[Billy The Kid]

Seriously though, I have a genuine question for all of you

What scoreline were you all expecting from the Germany game?

I was expecting 0-4 myself.

[Ray K]

Michael McCarthy.

Didn't lose in the WC either (defeats on pens count as draws in the official stats)

[Billy The Kid]

No, it was Trapp when he led us through the ten games of our 2010 group without a single defeat

The French game was a playoff game. Not a group game, so his record stands on that one

Not that he'll ever get credit for it like now that the wagons are circling

Oh yeah we lost that away leg in Tehran. My bad.

edit:
No hang on, not having that. We didnt lose any of our ten games in the qualifiers for 2002 - and we had far tougher teams in Holland and Portugal than for the last Euros.

Last manager. I meant last

Stay the fuck out of this knob head

This between me and sheep boy

Can I take on the winner in a no-holds barred decider?

Still part of a qualifying campaign though init. Should of said 'An entire world cup qualifying group stage campaign' there, Magnus Magnusson

If you think you're tough enough for a shot at the champ, then sure. I'll happily school you when I'm done with him

[Demandred]

He did

[Anywhichwayicant]

Speaking of challengers, can we get a few new ones, for the GAA Thread?

I kind of did Rodney

[Lawnmowerman]

Bring it on.

You fucking edited it quickly after you posted the original one. Im onto you shady Cork heads

[Demandred]

Here is a list of players that Charlton had during his tenure who were League winners in either England or Scotland

Pat Bonner, Chris Maurice, Denis Irwin, Steve Staunton, Jeff Kenna, Dave O'Leary, Mick McCarthy, Ronnie Whelan, Ray Houghton, Roy Keane, Kevin Sheedy, and John Aldridge. Both Niall Quinn and Frank Stapleton narrowly missed out on league medals. And that's just the ones with medals. That's before you even mention Paul McGrath who was world class in his pomp, and Andy Townsend who was an accomplished top flight midfielder in his own right

Here is Trapps list of League winners:

Damien Duff

I'm staying out of the argument but out of curiosity do you have the same list for Mick?

[Ray K]

Trap still did it 8 years after McCarthy though.

Hey dude, read my sig. They're your words, not mine

[Lawnmowerman]

haha

[Anywhichwayicant]

KERRYKOP must have taken a stroll down to the water pump, to splash some water on his grid, after that battering he just received.

[Billy The Kid]

Another part of the problem is that we don't have players of the quality of Roy Keane and Denis Irwin anymore

Can't be expecting Cork to fucking produce the nations best sports stars all the time like

You'd think the rest of you useless fuckers could chip in from time to time instead of always relying on us

Bunch of cock munches

We're too busy taking pride in our nation's national sport, can't speak for the rest of the country though.


Dublin have a lot to answer for, they get everything the Government is handing out, yet they have nothing.

[Lawnmowerman]

Our youth are too busy indulging in the trappings of living in the civilised world, you fucking savages

Pride in the national sport my bollox.

We've produced everything from Christy Ring, to dual star All Ireland winners, to Premier League winners, to World and European champion track athletes, to the O'Gara - Stringer connection. You name the sport, and we've done it

Congrats on being good at Hurling though. Well done

Wouldn't blame him for walking out

How can you soar like an eagle if you're surrounded by pigeons ?

Good?

Yep, getting good this.

Now i know you're bopping round your bedroom to that shite, just wishing you we're from up here

I'll be the special enforcer.

While you're here, I need a new lawnmower, a petrol one, any suggestions?

Masports. Big garden?

[Anywhichwayicant]

Masports. Big garden?

Aye, bordering on 'ride on' territory, but I'm not a lazy bastard.


Not that I'll be needing it much between now and March, but I'll be able to haggle the salesman down to a pocket friendly price.

[Aido LFC]

I was initially right, this thread heading down the same route as the GAA one.

[Billy The Kid]

Only an thread containing the Irish could go from peaceful to full on warfare to discussions about how to best cut grass
