We are minnows. We have to get it out of our heads we are any good.
Until the League of Ireland starts producing players and stops depending on young lads going to England and lingering in the championship. It’s not like how it used to be the premier league is attracting to Talent from all over the world now. So very hard for an Irish lad to get into first team football in he big clubs.

We need to drop to League C, at least there might be some results to be gotten down there.

If you set your expectations low then you’ll never be disappointed

Every. Single. Time. I get excited that maybe tonight will be our night, maybe we’ll keep a fuckin clean sheet, maybe we’ll score some screamers… I’m buying a San Marino jersey…. at least they managed to win a game this year

I no longer care about the national team’s performance, so it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Don’t forget to buy your 3 match package for the next battering though!

We’re an Embarrassing football nation. Loosing 2 nil against Greece, fans booing the English national anthem while they will be all wearing English club jersey the weekend, calling the national league shite while you pump money into the brits pockets. Everything’s Embarrassing about us. Our national broadcaster doesn’t show highlights of our own league. The state of Irish football

We have no football culture or professional coaching. We send kids to trials based on who’s the biggest in the team and the GAA has a stronghold on communities all over the country. They do a good job of hyping up every game as a ‘big game’ and force lads to prioritise GAA training…can’t possibly miss it when you have a junior C minor minnow quarter final against BallyMcMuck coming up! But I digress, it’ll take investment and about 20 years to see any results. Though with the FAI that timeframe might be unattainable.

Meh its only soccer who cares.

We’re terrible, not even worth watching anymore, this is probably the bleakest time in Irish football for as long as I can remember

School boy soccer tactics. Hoof the ball out of our half, who cares. Passes into the box, nobody there to take the ball. Taking shots with clearly two defenders feet away right in front of them to block it.

When they were baying for Steve Kenny’s blood on the COYBIG sub, I was downvoted to hell for saying it doesn’t matter who the manager is, we currently have a sh1t team. They all knew more than me and it was all Stephen’s fault….

I became sick of it a long time ago. I didn’t even watch the second half. Went for a nice long shower and took my time getting back onto the couch

We sacked the last competent manager we had (Trapattoni) – Have tried to do it on the cheap since.

Exactly 5 years ago I stopped giving any shit about this football team. I’ve felt sooooo much better since.

We don’t have the players. Simple as that.

We needed Lee Cars. I know he’s English to the core but beggers can’t be choosers.

Is there an inverse effect in Irish sport where the Rugby team and the Football team both can’t do well at the same time and one has to suck while the other does well? Kinda something like Liverpool and Man Utd in the Premier League?

Stick to the rugby lads

It’s shameful, the one thing you could nearly always say is that even when we were beaten we were always hard to play against, now we’re easy to play against and can’t score for shit. The FAI never really had a plan except wait for a golden generation and poach talented players from England, now the English tap is off. It’s unacceptable to be constantly punching way below our weight in a sport that we actually take very seriously in Ireland.
