FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[laoislad]

So how about Mick McCarthy to replace Trap. He has the experience and is unoccupied at the moment.

With Roy Keane as his No.2

[dillinger]

I'll bet Wilson, Gibson and McLean are ruing leaving OWC for that.

We might have them! Maybe throw in Kevin Foley as well, even though he's English really.

I have to say, James McClean does come across as a self-centred p***k every time he talks.

I can see O'Neill moving him along soon, if he doesn't work out that he's been given an opportunity, and a reward.

I think getting to the Euro's was an achievement in itself. Far too much hype before the tournament that Ireland would make it out of the group, as Italy were a poor team and Croatia were good but no world beaters. Load of bull that was - they were and are far better technical teams than Ireland ever wil be.

We got lucky in getting Estonia in the play offs. We avoided France and Portugal, and tbh we were never going to beat them. We have regressed since we almost knocked out the french 2 years ago, I think people are still living off that performance in Paris, wake up and smell the coffee.

Coleman should be a regular, Doyle should be starting as should Long. We are bad at the minute, but the selection of players in the team makes it worse.

He was just saying what 99% of supporters were thinking I imagine. As a member of the panel he probably should keep that to himself but it hardly makes him a self centred p***k.

His behaviour on Twitter with OWC stuff was embarrassing too.

All McClean has achieved in his career to date is become the latest in a long line of Irish soccer players who achieve more in their absence than in their presence.

When he changes that, then he can opine all he likes.

So if Seanie Johnston was a soccer player he wouldn't be a self centred p***k, however he's an amateur GAH man so he is. Fair enough. Nice to get indirect exposure to Miley's words of wisdom every so often.

I'd be with Myles on this, never did McClean utter such profundity in so few words,  an opinion about that performance probably shared by most fans.

It's truly odd. It suggests to me that people actually want their soccer players to behave like pr1cks.

Witness the shockingly OTT reaction to Mark McHugh's comments about Antrim (comments which were 100% on the mark), for how we seem to expect our GAA players to be robotic in comparison.

I'll repeat again: McClean should keep his opinions to himself, until he has proven himself as someone worth listening to. All he is, for now, is a fella who has had half a good season in the EPL. Which makes him, at this level, Mr Average.

Listen anglocelt. You have continuously made a tit out of yourself whenever you have engaged me. The last time we did you told everyone you were putting me on ignore and I told you that you wouldn't be able to resist. Proving me right yet again here you are.

To the point in hand, you might note I said he should have said nothing. As for seanie Johnston, well McClean is still playing for his country but seanie is playing his ball, like the traitor he is, in kildare.

couldn't agree more, if McClean and that other clown Gibson were behaving like they have been down at their local GAH club they would be told to get off   but because they have a twitter account and Jamie Redknapp refers to them on a first name basis some clowns seem to think they are worthy of some greater respect. I blame it on post colonial celebrity obsession.

Indeed Myles and as you will well know the ignore function does not extend to nonsensical posts being copied and pasted by other users but sure it's no harm to be reminded of your ability to post nonsense on any range of topics not just the ones that personally obsess you.

How did you see my last reply then? No one "quoted" it. Full of shit.
