With Ireland travelling to Germany for our penultimate qualifier, our minds are cast back to the 6-1 drubbing at home. The reaction of Friday’s hosts following the Aviva Stadium clash seemed to foresee the beginning of the end for the manager, and the growing unrest of the Irish fans.
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?
Join the debate on Twitter with Ireland’s football blogs straight after the Faroes game. Tuesday, 16th October, 9:30pm by using the hashtag #blogsunited.
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.
We’d say this reaction sums each Germany goal up perfectly.
Walloped 6-1 at home.
Ah Here, Leave it Bleedin’ Out
