KS is the anti to any straight-on talk managers including our own or Lyttle etc...
Watching him on the sidelines last night was a show in itself.
Two fingers at one time to the home crowd and then to his own sitting in the OP stand :D
Got a belt of a line mans flag during the match as well.
He has his own thread here - what bigger tribute can we afford the guy?
He no clown indeed.
could it be argued that this year the standard in the league has taken a slight dip? just for arguments sake like:)Quote:

Given the players they lost over the last number of seasons, it is a credit to him to have put together a good side. Not just that, they came to Oriel Park to play football.
There were a few controlled long passes into the body of Coffie, but mostly it was young lads trying to pass out from the back. At times it looked kamakazi football, and reminded me of Rossiter and Boyle when Kenny introduced a passing style into Dundalks game in 2013.
It will be a white knuckle ride for Derry fans this season, but no one will be bored.
Athlone could do with Labuts and Sfrijan back to shore up that leaky defence
Nobody would suspect anything in that team.
No when we were knocking on the door in Paul Cook's time Matthew Blinkhorn and Danny Centre were key players, no harm to the lads but they wouldn't be on Johnny Caulfields robbing list.Quote:

As for last night's ref, he was fussy and made some weird decisions but, honestly, I thought he got most them right. The penalty, Peers red (doesn't matter if it was only two fouls, Kenny, if the two fouls were yellows) etc. Hoare's tackle looked super dodgy from where we were and definitely should have been a yellow but would need to see Soccer Republic to see if it was anything more.
Also we last won a league game on May 5th 2017 beating Cobh in Athlone Town Stadium 2 - 1.Quote:

As somebody who hasn't really been following it, what is going on with Athlone? Are the committee well-intentioned but just incompetent? Or is there something else at play?
Last I heard the die hards were boycotting games and another group of guys got barred, its a long way from AC Milan, and there but for the the grace of God go us all.Quote:

Very strange situation
All fans banned? Not just specified individuals who are banned from the ground?Quote:

Have to say I agree - they did not know who was on the bus etc - just a blanket ban. Very questionable approach IMO.Quote:

And why not announce the decision before they travelled?
All very strange
