If we merged Staunton and Worthington would we have a manager who had a clue?? 

The debate about one team or two is largely irrelevant at the minute.  You have to look at the players and the coach.  Apart from Healy, Dunne, and possibly Given neither side has any great performers.  Both sets of players have great committment and heart (apart from O'Shea :-\) but the quality just isn't there.  I mean, in my day (ahem) McGeady wouldn't have got a game for Cliftonville Olympic never mind an international place.  Both managers are out of their depth and both associations are run by small minded, what-we-have-we-hold, rinky dinks (to quote the immortal Dunphy).  A recipe for mediocrity. :-[

If we can have an All Ireland team in Rugby, why can't we have one in soccer? f**k sake, the two are completely shite without the remotest chance of success ever

Too many ego's and too many people interested in petty point scoring for that to happen any time soon unfortunately.

The fact that we have two teams on this island which is smaller than the entire state of Texan, illustrates the mind set that has held this country to ranson for so long with bigotry. The only reason why the two teams exist

There will be an All Ireland team in the not too distant future. Maybe Martin O`Neill will manage them  ;)
The present teams are quite crap though, but lets be honest, neither of them qualify for the big tournaments that often so we should be used to it.

dont think a united team is the way to go i mean what difference would it be not too many of the NI players wud be seriously pushing! team with current players IMO
(4-3-3)
Given, Finnan, Dunne, Hughes, Oshea, Davis, S Reid, Hunt, Keane, Healy, Duff

Someone on OWC is saying it was Gillespie and McCartney. Didn't Gerry Taggart dig that kn**ker Gillespie before as well?
