If Plan A doesn't work .....

(My boyfriend still hasn't recovered from his footie depression, so time for a little more blogotherapy)

Perhaps one of the most disappointing things about the Irish soccer team's recent World Cup Campaign, was the lack of alternative attack strategies. Of course, we never had an embarrassment of choice :-

Under Jack, it was "long ball over the top"
Under Mick, it was "down the channels and whip it in"
Under Brian, it seemed to be "Kick it over midfield and watch Robbie/Clinton/Gary concede a free kick".

There never really was a Plan B. It was a clear case of 'If Plan A does'nt work, keep trying Plan A'. So why expect the suits in Merrion Square to be any different. Their Plan A seems to be wait until someone who the media tipped as a future manager says "thanks but no thanks". If that doesn't work, then try waiting until someone who the media tips as a future manager says "thanks but no thanks".

Put us both out of our misery (Tony is miserable, ergo Paige is miserable), tell us what is Plan B?
