Only a friendly but still nice to come away from Wembley with a draw against England!

COYBIG!!!!
You'll never beat the Irish!!

Can't disagree Len! Kelly and St Ledger especially aren't up to International level!
Hooligan should be starting.
Keane is past it.
Robbie Brady should have come on a sub instead of either Cox or Sammon!
Well at least he didn't give Mc Shane a run out!!

What does Sammon do? He runs around a lot running into people but rarely touches the ball? We could've won had we a proper team out.
Trapp jut doesn't rate Houlihan which is a shame considering the season he just had. Gibson is a starter for a top 6 pl club and is a bette player than Whelan.
Strange that after drawing with England in Wembley we are still moaning....guess we just have high standards

Yeah didnt bother mentioning his penchant for playing players out of position such as bringing on journeymen like Cox, a championship striker on the wing instead of actual wingers as he's done so many times before playing keogh, Cox and now even the biggest donkey of them all in Sammon instead of cultered footballers like Hoolahan or Brady. I decide a long time ago not to attend any further games whilst this imbecile remains in charge like so many other fans!! Attendances have never been so bad at Lansdowne but what do our esteemed FAI do about it - nothing!! Head in the sand approach that has been there M.O. for decades. The blind leading the blind...

Not to worry Len! He will be gone at the end of the WC qualifying matches!
We blew our chances of even making the play offs by sitting back on that 2-1 lead on Austria and inviting them to attack us and score the inevitable equaliser!
Every cloud has a silver lining etc...

Anyone else notice that when Dunphy talks up a player and demands they be in the team, they usually turn to $hite! Andy Reid, Ciaran Clark,……….McCarthy and Coleman you have been warned!

Ciaran Clark's had a good season and is only out now due to injury. Andy Reid was close to POTY for Forest this season, i can vouch for his exellent season. Not being in favour of Trap is not exactly a benchmark for ability, just look at some of those IN Trap's favour - McShane, O'Dea, Keogh, Sammon, Cox, Green!! Guys an absolute clown!!

Andy Reid???!!!
Are we seriously still talking about Andy Reid?!

Andy Reid was mentioned in reference to Dunphy, he could still do a far superior job for Ireland than at least half the current squad. How many championship clubs would prefer Reid in their midfield over daft Trap selections like Keogh and Cox who he regularly plays in midfield. Reid is out simply coz he stuck the head on Trap in front of the squad after being wrongly accused of instigating a late night sing song which Robbie keane organised. Trap arrived back from the pub with Brady thought the players were in bed and found them all singing in the hotel bar (not drinking) and Trap singled out Reid coz he had the guitar. Trap is a petulant childish 70+ year old bull in a china shop whose approach to football is 30 years behind the rest of the world. Now he's just an embarrassing old charlatan who refuses to retire preferring to delude himself that he's still relevant. Luckily for him he's employed by the weakest football body in world football so he'll get away with outrageously behaving like the out of date imbecile that he is!!

Just reinfriocing the point that Andy Reid's exclusion has nothing to do with football, same as others whose proud international careers have been ended by this hositle egomaniacal, tyrannous dinosaur!! If only someone would end his international career and put Irish football out of its misery!
