Very impressed by his attitude and his unapologetic stance on things he's said. Must say I've always admired both him and Martin O'Neill. I worry, however, about the lack of talent at their disposal. We keep hearing about the 3 young lads at Villa, Robby Brady and James McCarthy. Are there any other serious young Irish lads out there that are going to make an impact on the Premier League in the next year or two?
Who's a bit of a moaning Michael tonight!

we could badly do with a striker from somewhere? any on the radar? I know connor wickham has been mentioned as a possibility but don't think he's any better than what we have.

ps that gift grub sketch is hilarious! ;D

Roy will impress in the beginning. The players will try to impress him. It's just when things roll back to normal for us, what will Roy's reaction be like? he'll revert to being a sarcy, caustic piece of septic puss, so it's good that O'Neill is around to be in charge. It could work.

Roy played a blinder today. Has an assistant ever had as much attention? Looking forward to seeing how it all works out but at the end of the day it is the players on the pitch that matter and there is a lack of quality at present.

There is a lack of quality in International Football in general at the moment outside the top 10 IMO. If you are organised and have a bit of grit, you can do some damage. Scotland beat Croatia FFS. We're are no great shakes but we've got to hope to qualify for the next Euros...24 from 52 teams, may as well throw our hat at it if we don't make that.

Good result for Ireland tonight! Romania losing to Greece that is!  ;)

Nice result for the new management. Looks like a nicer style of play. Watching Ireland play might be easier on the eye. Let's hope these type of results follow on.

Was just thinking that it is over 10 years since I've enjoyed watching Ireland. Not since Mick McCarthy! Hope these lads stick to their guns with displays like last night. Even John Giles was smiling! :D

Should Keane not be off making O'Neill coffee or whatever it is he is there for instead of giving silly press conferences.

There were seats at the Aviva to be sold this weekend. And Keane had to fulfill his new Beckham duty!
