Ireland fans caught in a Trap by €2m bill

There has been a furious backlash from Irish football fans against beleaguered manager Giovanni Trapattoni.

Despite Ireland’s humiliating 6-1 defeat to Germany — the worst home defeat in 81 years — Trapattoni says he has no intention of ending his reign and, with a salary of €1.5m, the Italian is too costly to be sacked.

Some irate fans are arranging to display “Out Trap” banners at tomorrow’s away match between Ireland and the Faroe Islands.
