    FFS what a pile of ****e. This latest Irish Team are the biggest bunch of faggots I have ever seen. They couldn't score in a brothel with a fistfull of fifties. I mean we wouldn't have scored if it wasn't for a Scot, Craig Burley.

    McCarthy has to go, he is a useless manager. I dispaired when those fukwits in the FAI extended his contract. The only thing he does well is make sealion impressions on the sidelines during the game. Give the job to a manager who has a clue, Joe Kinnear would be an ideal choice imho.

    Ugh we still have to play Mexico again in the US in the next few weeks, I reakon they'll take us at least 3-0.

    Agreed, Ireland were abysmal last night. McCarthy must go, give the job to Martin O'Neill, he knows how to get good performances out of a team of underachieving cloggers.

    Utterly inept.

    But lads it aint the squad i mean no matter what club your loyal to Keane,Keane,Quinn,Harte,Carr and Kelly are all really quality premiership players.
    People say Roy Keane doesn't preform for Ireland but really why would he bother when Mick Mc Carthy plays the likes of Staunton in midfield..the man said he wants to get to 100 caps for Ireland, hes on 78!

    Seriously McCarthy must have his head up his hole he hasn't noticed about 5/6 quality players who would build his squad up even more. He still plays a left sided player on the right and we would probably have seen Cascarino play on Tuesday if he hadn't decided to call it a day after being the man who invented soccer.

    McCarthy hasnt qualified for 2 tournaments and both times has said his team are looking forward to playing the tournament in America.

    Irish soccer is now stronger than ever and McCarthy cant give us a result at home, ever.

    Hmm the US just beat South Africa 4-0 !!!!!!

    I sense severe beating for the Irish at this tournament. Hopefully the gimps in the FAI will fire McCarthys ass then.

    Ah please no...getting the best out of underachievers isn't what's needed....ffs you couldn't comfortably look at Leister matches...granted they performed better than their appearance on paper, but I dont think that that is where the problem is with Ireland...

    I have, and will continue to refuse to watch Ireland trying to play a shíte version of soccer...spoiling and 'lob it up there to the big gimp at the front' is not what i want to sit in front of my tv to see...

    If a new manager gets the job, his first task should be to sweep out 6 or 7 of the old guard and ffs give the young guys a go..McCarthy had that chance when he first arrived but failed ....i mean isnt cascarrrrrhinocerous still playin or something??? ffs he was bet 15 years ago...

    zzzz enough drizzle said..

    /me is tired

    the display against mexico wasn't bad, first half we were all over the shop, but did much better after half time. USA only managed to draw with us with a clearly off-side goal.

    the real problem area is center of defense, yer man dunne looked good but breen isn't up to international standards, and as for babb ... gah. considering we were without keane & kinsella in midfield, we did well there, McAteer actaully looked half decent. Up front a combo of Keane & Quinn would be fine, with possibly foley as backup.

    McCarthy's problem is that he shows too much loyalty to players. I do think someone else could do a better job than him, but I'd rather see David O Learly getting the job next time round.

    You must remember that USA fielded a totally different team in there opening 4-0 win. Hence it can be called a secomnd string team. Of course we all know that there was only like 5 players in the mexican side who acctually played for mexico before, most of them played for Pumas or were sons of rich people in power.(heheh)

    Also on the plus side (i can be positive) It is their mid-season and so they may be better conditioned to play now. Anyhow we wont qualify for world cup. Holland and Portugal Greece? is it?

    oh well

    Also: I dont think its the squad, i think its more the manager, if u were to ask anyone who would u have in the squad theres no-one who is there who wouldnt be, even staunton. (abuse)
