You can leave the outcry for others. For now, Trapattoni is going nowhere and the silence from John Delaney has been deafening. No one can contemplate another disaster against the Faroes Islands, but it seems many no longer care. The question you might ask is, do our players?
“My team’s gone cold I’m wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The Dublin rain clouds up my window..
and I can’t see at all
And even if I could, my team can’t play,
Dunphy’s picture’s on my wall
It reminds me, that it is this bad,
it is this bad..”

If we were singing different tunes before kick-off, Irish football followers are on the same hymn-sheet now. The calls for the head of Trapattoni are reaching a crescendo. We are falling over ourselves to scream loudest: “Trap out.” And the Germans have noticed it too.
Irish fans may be deflated after Friday’s lung-sapping destruction at the hands of Germany but the bagpipe anthems seem to have gone down well, particularly with our visitors. Sadly, the Lansdowne Roar was silenced by the home team’s performance and the pipes are now calling for the end of Trap’s reign.
