With Martin O'Neill's resignation from the Ireland national team we once again turn to the Irish Simpsons Fans page for distraction. They were there when England crashed out of the World Cup, they were on hand when Wes Hoolahan retired from international football, and they are here once again to provide wry send ups of the O'Neill's exit, filtered through the lens of The Simpsons seasons 1-10.

Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane have been sacked, you say?
Well, I hope you're all satisfied. You sacked a pair of coaches, coaches from the past where things are... different. They weren't thinking about winning. They just wanted the lads to kick around a ball. Kick around a ball and never score any goals.
