Boomers, you have almost single-handedly made this forum all about Kenny. That is the genesis of this obsession, if you ask me. When posters try to bring other factors into the discussion, they get shot down, there's no middle ground, no give and take at all.
It has festered and created a fierce amount of hostility in a forum that used to be a welcome distraction from life and a chance to have debates that were passionate but never so polarized and polarizing. Many significant debates and differences on teams, tactics etc. were had on here over the years I've been hanging around but it never felt the way it does now. I think Razor's last post was about taking a break from this place - I hope he doesn't - but I get where he's coming from. It just isn't enjoyable any more.I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.Comment

Ya this is getting tiresome now. It feels like a select few dissenting against anything believing negative or having negative connotations to Kenny. We can all make valid points without it being toys out of the pram stuff. At the end of the day ( I hope) we all want the best IrelandIt's an internet forum Stutts. We discuss things. You can either join in the discussion, or not if you want (if you think a discussion is pointless, for example, which is fine). Everyone involved was in agreement it was a very good header and a great save, so the chat was a minor point about where the header was going exactly. Then you chose to come barging in insulting people. That's daft.
Also, who said "You'd swear we won"?
I really can't remember when the forum has been so active which can only be a good thing but everyone's point is valid regardless of how far the other side of the scale it is to your ownLast edited by paul_oshea; 28/03/2023, 7:26 PM.I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker

I think I see what you're doing here . He slowed down that's the biggest problem I remember at the time I'd need to watch it again but it felt he slowed his run , gave that bit of time for France to better position themselves . He doesn't have the ability to play that ball in around from what I've seen , so the simplest and highest probability of execution was to take the extra couple of yards at full pace and go straight across goal between peno and six yard box. Instead he knew he couldn't play the other pass, somewhat unsure slowed down ended up about edger of box and plays a ball back to knight which was the worst pass of an original 4-5 things he could have doneI'm a bloke,I'm an ocker

You’ve said this a couple of times now. It’s been a huge criticism of previous coaches that they’ve claimed our players were incapable of playing a modern style of football and completing simple passes to each other.
I don’t think Kenny has ever has a single negative thing to say about his players? He talks them up constantly. If anything it’s been to his detriment that he talked up the younger players he was bringing through to such an extent that it made it harder for himself when the performances didn’t follow!sigpic

I agree. If I was to summarise Kenny’s view of our players versus previous managers’ it’d be that we should believe in our players moreYou’ve said this a couple of times now.

That's true but my reasoning is sound and logical.
I just think that we're underestimating ourselves. Look at Scotland tonight, are we much worse than them? They have something to actually celebrate.

In fairness, it goes both ways. No? I think some of the comments directed towards those who aren't Kenny backers have been quite poor. But we all care about what happens with Ireland. That's the route of it. I just think we'll all be friends again when Kenny goes so we should all support that.Boomers, you have almost single-handedly made this forum all about Kenny.

He was positive and light until it all fell to pieces. He then threw the players under the bus. He said that we shouldn't expect to compete with Serbia and Portugal. As if we should just accept that our players are at the level of the minnows.You’ve said this a couple of times now.

They do, and brilliant result from then
The other reality is, Scotland are currently better than us, ranked higher, and will be playing in Spains Path in the next NL
Spain are not as good as France..
I'd put us 2-3 yrs behind ScotlandComment
