Comments on: Giovanni Trapattoni – The Republic of Ireland Opens the Trap Door http://soccerlens.com/giovanni-trapattoni-the-republic-of-ireland-opens-the-trap-door/5546/ Football News Fri, 25 May 2012 18:33:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Orgie http://soccerlens.com/giovanni-trapattoni-the-republic-of-ireland-opens-the-trap-door/5546/#comment-80059 Orgie Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:14:32 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/giovanni-trapattoni-the-republic-of-ireland-opens-the-trap-door/5546/#comment-80059 This is a big step for Ireland. One thing that may not be reported outside of Ireland is that the majority of Trapattoni's wages will be payed by businessman Denis O'Brien. Fair play Denis! The team was highly unorganised and lacked stability under Steve "Stan" Staunton. Some ridiculious team selections such as putting right back Joey O'Brien in midfield against Germany in a crucial qualifying game. With players like Richard Dunne, Robbie Keane and Shay Given we should definitly make it to South Africa. This is a big step for Ireland.

Good appointment I think. Eire have the potential to do well and it would be good to see somebody unlock it. Staunton had defeats like 5-2 in Cyprus and, with all due respect, the Irish are much better than that. He reminds me of some sort of dictator on the youtube link!

Interesting to note that: 1) Trap's English is very good 2) He wants an Irish connection, and the first name on THAT list is Arsenal Academy Director Liam Brady. Brady will be an excellent choice for Trap, and I doubt that Arsene will stop him if he wants to be a part of it (that's a big IF though, since the Arsenal job is quite demanding - all jokes aside). just added the quotes and info from the press conference.

I happen to think that the Irish have a more balanced squad and greater team spirit than England do. I expect to see them at the next world cup. I was about to say – Lippi for Scotland!

What is it with Italian managers in their sixties and the British Isles? If I was John Toshack, George Burley or Nigel Worthington and I saw Arrigo Sacchi or Marcelo Lippi in the stands, I would get very worried! Great appointment for the Irish I think.
