Richie Foran for Ireland?

Reading through some of the stiff on this thread is mad.

Sounds ridiculous. Clearly he has a right to defend himself, he should have punched the judge in the face a couple of
times and see how he reacted.

Would this make him the only Irish born manager in the UK?

Andy Reid is managing Forest at the moment.

Inverness well on course for a fourth successive loss today.

Conor Sammon with Hearts's second goal. Currently leading by two.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 04/02/2017, 3:00 PM

The bells are tolling for Foran.

Inverness trailing Dundee by two goals.

This would be a 5th loss in 6 league games unless they turn it around.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 20/05/2017, 3:07 PM

Inverness will be relegated as things stand barring an extremely unlikely set of circumstances.

Pity as they have an Irish manager and three young Irish players.

Looks like Foran's management career will go the way of Joe Dunne and Graham Kavanagh before him.

Strong words from Foran following relegation - http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39988271

Another Irish born manager crashes and burns.

Jim Goodwin is now the only Irish born manager in the whole of Britain.

Were Brendan Rogers and Neil Lennon born on a ship or something?

EDIT: Tommy Wright and Steve Robinson in Scotland as well.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 31/05/2017, 1:07 PM

They were born on the island of Ireland but they are Northern Irish, am I right?

**CraftyToePoke** · 31/05/2017, 1:37 PM

Are they Irish born or not ?

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 31/05/2017, 1:45 PM

It's not up to me to decide what they are.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 31/05/2017, 1:46 PM

They could identify as British for all I know.

Neil Lennon is Irish, identifies as such and carries an Irish passport: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/ifa-...ling-1.1008336

He said: "(It) would have ruled me out for a start. The fact is that if you're from Northern Ireland you're Irish. It's a ridiculous move." Lennon has retired from international football following death threats from loyalists.

For what it's worth, the FIFA decision mentioned there was later reversed: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/5093924.stm
