Default The Problem with Irish Soccer??

John FUCKING Delaney. When he is no longer in charge the Irish will stand a chance, Staunton was the wrong guy to get the job granted but if any Irish man man looking to get into management was offered their countries top position they wouldn't turn it down.

DELANEY IS A CUNT!! Irish soccer is fucked till he goes!!

Exactly. Staunton was out of his depth from day 1 but you can't blame him for taking the job when offered.

The problem with irish soccer is the fact that the players are shit and half of them are english any way who were too crap to get selected for england. Soccer fans in ireland are too busy supporting foreign clubs, buying their jerseys, going to their matches etc instead of supporting irish clubs. Thats why the irish soccer leagues are a joke and of a pityful standard of play and also why the national team have never won an international competition in the history of the game.

That is one of the best comments I have heard on PROC in a long time. Totally agree with ya! I heard a fella in work today blowing on about the England game and how he missed the Irish game because of it. In one way you cant blame him, but in another way what a cunt! You are either a soccer fan or not! You don't get to choose where your from!

Did Ireland have better players than Holland in qualifying for WC 2002? Were the Scottish players more talented than the French last night?

It goes much deeper than that. Soccer in this country has been run by gangsters for years now. Until it is run by honest, intelligent and forward thinking people then potential fans will stay away.

Breaking news, the vast majority of nations haven't won anything. Countries with bigger populations and better domestic leagues than ours have had trouble getting much further in world cups than Ireland.

What he said ^^^^^^^

Under 16 and Under 18 Euro Championships were pretty major at the time and showed that the talent was there

Ireland are well capable of punching above their weight if managed properly
The FAI are idiots too which doesn't help

Up until last night I wasn't in favour of sacking Stan, but after seeing his team selection cost us our place at another finals, I have changed my mind. The team are good enough and there are more players developing but I don't believe Stan can get them to SA 2010. Why he persists with having full backs on the opposite side to the one they are accustomed to I don't know, it is frustrating because the minute Hunt came on we were a different team.

He must have some reason why he does this but I just can't fathom it
