At least it's not Steve Staunton, ffs, what a terrible job he done!!
Very good manager indeed Dinger, hope he gets the team playing well again.

As a Juve fan this man is a legend! What a coup for R.O.I, be difficult with the langauge barrier though.

Im sure liam Brady will be part of the coaching staff, who played under trapp, also knows the lingo which will help at the start. |

Think a certain Roy Keane might disagree that they are more professional |

Are you just automatically assuming that I am a Northern Ireland fan? I'm not. Having premier league players to pick from doesn't mean a good team. You still could have Caroll in nets with Bramble in front of him etc. |
