Maybe you're on to something there...



D'oh!

At least it knows its own limitations.

Definite plus for post-match interviews.

Glimpse into future after Latvia do us over in March (via chatgpi)

Interviewer: "Stephen, tough loss tonight. What are your thoughts on the game?"
Ireland Manager: "It was a difficult game, and we didn't play to the best of our abilities. Latvian were the better team on the night and deserved the win. We have to take this loss and learn from it."
Interviewer: "What do you think went wrong for your team tonight?"
Ireland Manager: "I think we lost the battle in midfield and struggled to create chances. Our defensive errors also cost us goals. We have to work on these areas and make sure we're better prepared for our next game."
Interviewer: "How do you plan to bounce back from this defeat?"
Ireland Manager: "We have a strong group of players, and we'll regroup and review the game. We'll work on our weaknesses and come back stronger. We have a number of important games coming up, and we have to make sure we're ready for them."
Interviewer: "Stephen, thanks for your time. Best of luck in your future games."
Ireland Manager: "Thank you. We'll give it our all and hope to turn things around."

More coherent than most of Kenny's interviews to be fair.

Eoin Kenny scored for ireland school's today against. Australia. Is there a genuine desire there I wonder on his part yo be in the northern Ireland system?

So he has no left foot?

Seriously though, that would have been a puskas contender. Unreal technique. A rabona lob? A lobona?

No return for Barry.

[JR89]

With Martinez walking into the Portugal job he's got a better job lined up already if he fancies double jobbing. He's also someone that could well move into management this summer.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Why would he come back as number 2 if you think about it? So Kenny could try to claim the credit again for moderately improving our performances? The FAI top brass are trying to claim they've changed and things are run better now but sitting on their hands over this issue is not a good reflection on them. Chasing after Barry or Carsley or whoever should have been done by now when the opportunity was there. Who knows what circumstances those candidates will be in when the inevitable happens.

I'd be concerned those in the FAI in power now wouldn't really be relevant in terms of running a footballing organisation. Is there anything available publicly about the board and their backgrounds? Other than quotas and outside influence on the board what's the experience?

It occured to me earlier that we all - or nearly all - have our head in the sand re kenny, we are so desperate for him to succeed. It's only when he is bounced out that we'll realise what a mess his time in charge has been. We're kicking the can down the road as long as he is at the helm unfortunately.

I would suggest though that unless he pulls things together in short order this is his final campaign. I hope he manages it.

[SkStu]

I think everyone feels the same at this point.

I think theres no doubt that hes in the last chance saloon. And this has already been massively over discussed, but what constitutes pulling things together in this campaign is what a lot of the debate is really about at this point.
