Irish Player Watch 2012/13

Gibson was interviewed in the Sunday Times a couple of months ago and said regarding Trapā€™s advice for him to move that in hindsight he was dead right.
Withdrawing nowā€¦I think thereā€™s something going on. Trap handles everything badly. I donā€™t think this can be disputed. Remember McClean said something after the Euros which may have hinted at an unhappy camp? I donā€™t think this is good and itā€™s going to get worse until Trap finally does one.

Would agree with that, he now has a huge chance to stake a claim and push on and become a regular starter and he decides to fuck off.

The rush to condemn Trap is in full swing again I see. Gibson could be slightly disappointed that he didnā€™t get a chance at the Euros but his stubbornness in warming the Old Trafford bench and his poor performances for Ireland were a bug factor.

But irrespective of who the manager is this is no way to react. This is a competitive game, a World Cup qualifier, and heā€™s throwing a strop. Fuck him.

We heard you the first time 15 minutes ago, rocko

Are you going to the 51 to watch the game Rocko? I want to get drunk, surly and have a right go at you.

2 goals for Andy

Apart from appalling recent results and performances, baffling team selections, out dated tactics, dodgy media relations and an inability to keep senior players playing for him and motivate the fringe players in his squad I suppose it is hard to criticise Trap.

thats an issue for you? more important than keeping senior players too

odd that you are one of the most vocal critics of the Sindo yet if someone doesnt to their line you turn on them

stick to inane quips mate

Stick to grade-Z wummery, mate. Weā€™re not all sick of it yet, or anything. :rolleyes:

I think you should stick to the wumming. Youā€™re ā€˜seriousā€™ stuff is even more boring and repetitive.

:rolleyes:

why is how he handles the media an important issue for you

deal with the question

Padraig Amond with a goal for Accrington Stanley - who are they?

an english sligo rovers

Dealing with the media is a very important part of every managerā€™s job. I would have thought that was so obvious it didnā€™t need explaining? Why else would they do press conferences and interviews. The amount of communication mix ups and crossed wires heā€™s had during his tenure means he is not doing the part his job well. Itā€™s not the most important thing but just another part of his job heā€™s not doing well lately. A list does not always have to be in order of importance by the way.

Now that we have you dealing with the issues, and discounting the media thing, what do you think of how heā€™s dealing with the rest of the elements of his job at the moment?

Great minds Thrawneen.

I can see this campaign turning into a wasted two years with Trap not seeing it out much like the way McCarthy left during 04 euro qualification

results are the only thing that matter- he performed a miracle getting such poor players to a tournament where they were unlucky in that there group contained 3 of the best teams in the tournament

he hasnt fallen out with any player of note yet so wouldnā€™t be too bothered about that and even if he does fall out with players its irrelevant when we are qualifying for tournaments

he is one of the greatest managers in history

Boniek performed the ā€œmiracleā€ in picking out the hot ball placed for us by Platini and the Vintners Association of Poland containing the word ā€œEstoniaā€ on it.

nah-trap performed the miracle getting us seeded for that draw with players such as john o shea,shay given,rob green,stephen ward etc etc

Who are our players of note in your view?
