We are similar to Bulgaria/Georgia/Scotland/Lithuania/Bosnia etc except with a badly supported feeder league & we all have our cycles of good times. C'est la Vie coz its not gonna change much in our lifetime..

Originally posted by Dice75 View PostOh yeah, we should deffo be qualifying in the top 24, don't get me wrong. Its just unfortunate the the EPL has become such a golden ticket for foreigners in the last 15 years thus restricting a lot of our chances for player development at the highest level. Stupid geography. Dog eat dog now.

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostThere are no players in our National Pool at present being badly treated though imo. McGeady is our most talented player technically at present and has had his opportunities to play European football and garner experience. Long has probably got more chances than he should have given his goals to games ratio throughout his career. McCarthy / Whelan / Walters / O'Shea / Wilson / Coleman all start games at the top level.

Originally posted by Dice75 View PostAll true.

Just heard Liam Brady say "since Kevin Kilbane retired, we haven't had a lot of options at left-back"
So it's finally gotten to that stage, we're looking back on the glory days of having players of the quality of Kevin Kilbane in the team

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostYes, but there is no - one in our national pool worthy of playing for top four clubs right now, or near it. When Duff and Robbie were good enough they got those chances. If we have players good enough again, they'll get those chances. Again, no - one is being 'denied' anything right now.
Like you'd hardly put Kevin Moran into a United team these days etc etc.
We will just have to pull a team together from what we have and this will be the way for a long time with a scattering of mid-EPL team players augmented by a few good championship players (and hopefully a couple of real stars from time to time)

Originally posted by Jam-Fly View Postthe conversation the panel are talking about with the DDSL and the FAI is a big issue too that mightn't be too well known to the general public. Another example of problems in Irish soccer.
That being said, the panel are wrong to say 'nothing' is being done. The FAI have built U - 17 and U - 19 leagues that are linking the pro game down to elite youth talent. This will have a very positive difference over the next decade imo.
We still need to strike the lotto though, and the reality is that we haven't struck gold since the mid / late nineties in terms of Irish young lads be elite pro prospects. The conveyor belt of solid pro prospects hasn't really dried up but that isn't enough.

I said it before here but was at Everton v Arsenal last August & the best player on the pitch by a mile was actually Naismith imo. Till Giroud came on. Looks strange when i write that!

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostI lived with a DDSL manager for a couple of years (who now coaches UCD U-19s) so I am very well versed in how it works. People hammer the FAI for not changing youth structures, etc but they don't understand that the FAI don't have total control of a lot of the sharp end of the youth game.

I enjoyed the new HBO comedy, 'Togetherness' from the Duplass brothers. Nothing amazing but good easy watching in a similar vein to some of the stuff you have listed.

I think O'Neill is doing alright with them, but there is no doubt that a top echelon manager would be doing better (we wouldn't have 9 points if Vincent Del Bosque was managing us).

Originally posted by Dice75 View PostIn hindsight I think Long would have given us a good chance. However I do disagree with you that he our best air threat. He is good at jumping, hanging when it comes to flick-ons/ challenging but I don't rate his finishing with his head at all. I don't think he would have got as good a head on the goal set-up as Murphy did.airport, lol

It's also possible that Strewelpeter does mean it as a euphemism for something nasty though, and I'm too naive to understand it.

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostI think the national pool is the worst I can remember but it is still the case that 27 of 53 teams get a playoff at least, and to not be part of that will be bitterly disappointing and a significant low point.
I think O'Neill is doing alright with them, but there is no doubt that a top echelon manager would be doing better (we wouldn't have 9 points if Vincent Del Bosque was managing us). The problem is attracting that top echelon manager.
Not sure what more we can ask for in a manager though. Trapatonni and O'Neill both have pretty impressive CVs. Maybe another manager would've done better but I don't think there were many complaining when O'Neill was given the job originally (and ditto for Trap).

Wonder will he be stupid enough to try stand and trade. If he can somehow take your man down and sit on him he could grind another terrible decision which would be amazing for the reaction alone. He is pretty terrible but tough as nails. His jaw hasn't long left til it's lights out eveytime he gets hit clean.

Strewel, I second Parks and Rec, also I have mentioned Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Episodes is good.
I shall take this opportunity to again express my deep love for the current BBC series Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.
