not all of us share them Des..

Yeah but most of us do. THB I don't how anyone could think that they weren't a shambles. Staunton was sacked 3 months ago and they haven't even thought about who they're going to approach. England had a new manager within a few weeks.

To be fair the FAI didn't have Capello throwing himself at them.

Yeah, some of us have blinkers on when it comes to the FAI.

They are a shambolic shambles in everything they do. Everything. Every hour of every day of every week.

Yet you still think they shouldn't go with the fans choice for this manager?

I'd much rather go with someone the fans want (we're not stupid) over Venables or Stan.

Think this thread got a mention on Newstalk there, that off the ball show, just barely heard it.

They mentioned flanzer, because he started the thread. I assume.

estebancambias · 14-01-2008 10:31PM

Amazing...did they mention Boards? Or did they say Flanzer texted in.

Unearthly · 14-01-2008 10:40PM

we are famous!!!!11111

Mikeyt086 · 14-01-2008 10:41PM

Deschamps is a good move imo. Better than Venables one would think.

Lads, get in line for autographs. You must pay me to have a photo with you. €5 per photo. Max 2 photos as I haven't got much time. My PaddyPower shares went through the roof, cashed them in and I'm heading for Mexico!

In all seriousness, Newstalk have yet to contact me. I'm hoping I haven't created a monster, Deschamps takes the job and we're all happy

mike65 · 14-01-2008 11:26PM

Whore! (thats at least 2 mentions in the national media for boards.ie today!)

Mike.

Did they mention Flanzer is due to be estebancambiaso's bitch if this all goes tits up lol

I just heard on the radio that THE reason Deschamp's odds have plummeted is because some crazyass dude put €6K on him to be the manager this lunchtime. Frankly though I dont know any bookies who would take such a bet, I tried to put €20 on Roy Hodgson a few weeks before Xmas at 25/1 and the max bet with Mr.Power was €15 ! LOB.

estebancambias · 14-01-2008 11:39PM

Lol..Flanzer you better be on your toes. Il hunt ya down.

If he is made manager, then me and you can head over to Dublin Airport for a meet and greet. Drinks on me.

Ye, but if you want to wager a larger sum they can ring up HQ to get it approved.

kaisersose77 · 14-01-2008 11:42PM

Deschamps is 8/11 now and Venables is 2/1

estebancambias · 14-01-2008 11:43PM

Unearthly · 14-01-2008 11:44PM

Houghton speaks(just seen this now its been around for ages). What a muppet. This numpty responsible for selecting the next manager.

We need to be realistic? Eh is beating Cyprus, Slovakia and Wales home and away being unrealistic?

kaisersose77 · 14-01-2008 11:48PM

the thought of having a continental manager was fun while he lasted

any excitement in ireland playing in the qualifiers will be gone when Venables gets the job next monday

Mr Alan · 15-01-2008 12:35AM

will you give the FAI credit if they appoint Deschamps Des? Seriously

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-01-2008 12:55AM

I would love it if Deschamps got the job but I can't se this happening. Seems too good to be true.

Will probably be Venables or McCarthy.

If this was a year later, and Drogheda did well in Champions League and at home, Doolin would be a prime candidate in my opinion. He should be our next manager. He needs to be involved with the next Irish set-up.

I hope Dolan goes about getting his badges, I really like him. He was right what he said if you manage in Ireland, you are considered a joke, which is wrong.

Doolin-2006 and 2007 Setanta cup.

2007 Eircom League title

FAI Cup 2005.

Very good record. I think managers would get more credibility if an All-Ireland league was formed, with 20 teams(or 18) in the league.

leninbenjamin · 15-01-2008 01:04AM

lolwtf?

correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't Didier leave Juve because the place was a shambles? why would he want to walk straight into another shambolic setup so?

estebancambias · 15-01-2008 01:05AM

He yearns for adventure? Hopefully he buys a house over my side of the city(Its Bono country), we could form a close bond.

I'd rather not see Doolin get the job because I really don't rate him that highly. He was given bucketloads of money to assemble that Drogheda squad and still managed to get them playing dour football.

estebancambias · 15-01-2008 01:13AM

I admit I am not that familar with Eircom League, I go to a few games a season and watch Fat ass(TV3 guy) with Osama(?, the Paths guy) and that Mulligan guy on Mondays. Hopefully RTE will have better coverage and at a better time. 7.30 please on a Monday, seriously who cares about a God damn Hippo.
