He sounds well up for it alright - could be around for a while, with some success too I'd say.

By the way Schumi - what happened to your managerial application? Did the board not believe you?!:D

They didn't believe that they'd have given me any money to spend!

Incidentally, came third in my third season with UCD - into the InterToto Cup. Would have gotten into the UEFA but Derry lost in the CUp Final to Sligo in the First Division...:mad: :mad:

Team went half-fit as usual, played a friendly against Pegasus which made matters worse (plus I lost, which the board didn't like!), scraped past a Luxembourgese side 2-1 after losing away and then drew a Turkish crowd. 15 minutes in, Bazza gets injured and has to come off. 30 minutes in, his replacement gets injured and has to come off!:eek: Bring on Robbie Mac, who concedes six goals as we lose 6-0.:mad: How the hell do you stop that happening?!?!

Beat them 1-0 at home though!:D

Two ways:

[list=1]
Bring two keepers on the bench.
Cheat by quiting out of the game without saving, and replaying the match.
[/list=1]

1 - Then the third keeper would have gotten injured too! And with my small squad, he'd have been one of the players who doesn't exist and we'd still have gotten hammered!
2 - Believe me, I've tried that one!!!

I think it's something to do with being semi-pro.

It happened to me when I was managing Oldham. I hadn't quite turned them into a juggernaught yet, but after making my third sub against Rangers in the UEFA Cup final, I had my keeper injured. Lost 0-4. Hammered Rangers in a pre-season friendly a couple of months later. I think it was 5-0.

Wow, that Doolo thread seems to attract random tangents like Shamrock Rovers attract evictions!

I've won everything with U.C.D. Name a competition that we're able to enter (i.e. not the World Cup) and I've won it with us.

Coffee and the death of full-backs was the answer to my success.

The CL? :eek: Man, even I've not spent that much time on CM.
