there should have been alarm bells ringing the moment we realised martin was not going to unfuck the trappatoni hit and hope long ball garbage. Couple that with the park the bus routine with a precarious 1-0 lead bollix. How many times have we heard martin say "when teams play us they can expect a large portion of the ball" etc. Dont forget to tell everybody we have'nt got a game plan and we're fucking shite as well while you're at it martin... Talking about defeatist bullshit. It's maddening anti-football garbage is what it is. The Irish national team set up has been a monty python sketch for a long, long time.
