I'm torn over who deserves the most sympathy following Ireland's uncermonious exit from the World Cup qulaifiers.
Is it due to Brian Kerr, who lost his job as the Republic of Ireland manager last night?
Is it due to the legions of us loyal fans and to those ubber loyal fans who never miss an International live game?
Or is it due to the German nation as a whole and their current economic crisis? As I have no doubt countless SSIA accounts were earmarked for hard core spending by Irish fans on the beer and the footy trail all over Germany.
There are a lot of losers as a result of this result. But the bottom line remains the same. Our team are not good enough. We have individually brilliant or potentially brilliant players but this team under Brian Kerr just did not seem to work as a coherent force. Maybe a new manager is the answer (if they can find anyone) but at the end of the day its the players who have to be capable of stepping up and playing decent inciteful, passing football. I'm looking forward to that day, may it arrive soon!
