[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 183846"] Why not also mention the fact that Ireland have failed to beat the SH teams in about a kallion attempts before we started to win with him in charge? He may have failed to beat New Zealand but has any Irish team beaten them? I know this time, even away from home we gave them a serious run for their money and were considered unlucy we didnt get that away win. I remember watching us play the All Blacks in Lansdowne twice. The first time just watching Lomu destroy us single handedly and happily watching the spectacle for what it was, the second feeling f***ing disgusted that we didnt stuff them in our own back yard. I remember the days when we used to be happy with winning a game in the 5 nations. I remember when the old "ahhh sure we gave them a run for their money" seemed to be enough. It was only under Eddie O'Sullivan that the Irish rugby public actually dared to dream of wins over South Africa, Australia and England. Jesus I've been going to Lansdowne and now Croke Park since I was 10. I remember the really really **** days, and because of them I will never forget the good days we've had over the past 7-8 years. Not all Eddie O'Sullivan's credit to take, but he was there for the majority of them. Again I'll repeat, it was time for him to go, but you havent even tried to paint a balanced picture in the above post. The words "lies, damned lies and statistics" come to mind. [/QUOTE]
