We are muck and most likely not going to qualify for another tournament for quite some time irrespective of who is in charge. The players are just not there and there’s not much coming through either. Worst/weakest group of players in my lifetime.

We have a decent chance of qualifying for every Euro competition there is with the expansion to 24 teams

It’s posts like this which confirm without all doubt how fucking thick you really are.

Plus he’s being better payed at Virgin TV with only the hassle of sitting beside that Souness cunt.

[the_man_himself]

He’s getting €2m a year off Virgin Media?

[anon78624367]

try telling me that in English, please, if you’d be so kind

Where are all the cunts that were giving out to John Delaney about O’Neill needeing to sign a contract a couple of years ago. If John was left alone there would have been no contract and no need for a big layout. Gentlemen have a way of doing business that transcends the need for contracts.

There was something in the indo about 'Arry Arthur and someone else lining out in the wrong position at the start of a match, only to be told a few minutes in, that they were playing in the wrong places Down to O’Neill’s complete lack of communication supposedly

Matt Doherty echoed does sentiments

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Throughout his tenure he used to only name the starting team an hour before kick off. Numerous times lads were picked to start despite having no inclining that they were likely to play

[Esso_Oil]

So lads that are earning 1000’s of euros a week to play football have to be told where to stand on a soccer pitch.
I suppose it’s the way its gone these days.
They’d want to grow the fuck up. If my U14’s told me they didn’t know where to stand in a hurling match they’d be standing on the sideline fairly fuckin quickly

They thought they knew where to stand but apparently O’neill wanted them somewhere else

Actually maybe the cunts should have tried to run instead of standing

You’re changing your story now mate

[Esso_Oil]

Ah here. Professional footballers who cant pass a football are fairly good at passing the buck and running to reporters to absolve themselves from blame.

Do you not tell them where they’re playing before they go out on the field?

[Esso_Oil]

The same speech every game.
Same as last week boys. There’s only one ball. Win it and hit it as far up the field as you can.
Works every time.

[anon78624367]

we had a fella like you years ago… walk in, same team as last week, walk out.

We’d then organise ourselves based on who was actually there that week.

[Esso_Oil]

It’s what all the latest coaching gurus are teaching. Getting the players to take ownership of the decision making process

[anon78624367]

you’d expect the manager (not a coach) to at least pick the team ffs.
