FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[anglocelt39]

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.

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.

Is Marc Wilson not from Aghagallon in the glorious one true county of Antrim??

[All of a Sludden]

It has been reported that the Republic of Ireland will play England in a friendly at Wembley next year.

It will form part of the English FA's 150-year anniversary celebrations next May.

The two nations have not played each other since their February 1995 clash in Lansdowne Road which was postponed after 27 minutes when England fans started rioting.

It is a coup for the FAI who had tried to arrange a meeting with England prior to the European Championships, but was shelved when the draw for the competition brought the possibility of the two facing each other in the quarter-finals.

With the game being played in Wembley, it means that the FA will owe the FAI a return game at the Aviva.

I know I deserved it but the Under 21s let my accumulator down yesterday, the bastards. They must have a pretty decent team to go win 4-2 in Italy with 9 men ffs
