The 'Kenny Shiels is quite the interesting character' thread.

To be fair, having seen the penalty today, it does look a tad harsh. Almost as if he went over on a bag of Northern Irish tayto.

And Mr A said on to them "Let there be one Kenny Shiels is highly entertaining thread". And he merged the threads. And the people of foot.ie looked upon it and saw that it was good.

If it is the same clip I saw, I don't know how you could possibly tell. The official was a few feet away and had a perfect view.

I said a tad harsh, not definitive.

So possibly a correct penalty decision then?

Possibly, looks to me on the slower viewing that he tripped himself up, but I can see why a ref would give it. Kenny has every right to feel aggrieved. If it was given against Kenny hed be in uproar.

Shiels is a character & football needs characters.
A bit crazy perhaps but great entertainment

Kenny is correct to have a go why where the officials changed for the cup replay. In any other country the officials are the same for any replays again different rules for the FAI. These officials behind the goal are a complete waste of space any way. Nothing new though for Paul Tuite who has always been a waste of space full stop

Kenny Shiels TBH

I was away last year watching us batter everyone in the graveyard so have missed out on this boy.

Is he from planet Earth??

Apaarently we are the "best team in the league" and have signed "exceptional players" including "the Brazilian lad"

Back here, in real life, I am only travelling because I have to and will be backing Derry -1 with all the euros I can muster to make the trip a bit bearable.

Manager in 'talking up the opposition and talking down his own team's chances' shocker.

They seem a delicate sort in Limerick

Traveling "because i have to" ........ are you driving the bus or playing ?

Both.

**seand** · 01/03/2017, 3:08 PM

Typical Limerick, going to park the bus.

**Mr A** · 01/03/2017, 3:14 PM

Same buck accused other clubs of trying to buy the league recently. His chairman ploughed in £225,000 last year according to the Derry forum.

Very good manager and quite an addition to the league in terms of just saying mad stuff.

**bluewhitearmy** · 01/03/2017, 3:44 PM

There is quite a difference between talking up your opponent and saying we are the best team in the league and have spent money to try and win the league.

**joey B** · 01/03/2017, 4:00 PM

I think he likes to create a bit of a siege mentality up around Buncrana!, competing with the extortionate wages offered by superpowers like Glenavon and Portadown and now Limerick it seems is a tough ask,Ollie Horgan must giggle to himself when he hears talk like that!
