Hmmmmm is it too late to launch an 'away' jersey with a picture of SK on it (given his historic links to Dalymount blah,blah,blah) ? bet we could get great sales around Dundalk (and apparently Inchicore and Derry) :cool:Quote:

God bless Derry, always having our back.
Maybe Stephen called round the Brandy and said we can have Paddy McEleney back if we put in a good word for him?Quote:

If we said it hed stick around just to spite us. If he does get the job its going to be very interesting to see if any journalists do any digging into what happened in Scotland or his role in the double contracts at Derry.Quote:

Is someone canvassing doing a dragon-style presidential type canvas of League of Ireland clubs?Quote:

Come on Rovers do the right thing and publicly endorse the man you prematurely sacked for the biggest job in the country
Ah lads this is embarrassing stuff.
Funny how u boys always obsess about him getting sacked at rovers, what about dunfirmiline ? Or Derry with the double contracts or anywhere else he left.Quote:

The new trend on foot.ie, mention another club get called obsessed.Quote:

Kenny would have played football and at least if we didn't qualify we would be able to enjoy watching the games. When Ireland were playing Denmark last week I ended up watching highlights of the all blacks game on a different channel because I couldn't be bothered watching the muck being served up by o neil.
He also would have played maybe Dylan watts in midfield instead of Cyrus Christie FFS. Or McGrath or mceneff or Benson......How could that not be an improvement........opportunity missed and he wouldn't have cost 1.2 million
So looks like Kenny is taking the ireland u-21s job. Can't see dundalk collapsing like Rovers did when MON left no matter who takes over with the rich owners etc and most if not all of the current squad signed up for next year?
I just hope Stephen Kenny remembers to thank us for getting him this gig.
As a bohs fan I'm worried, Long wants try managing fulltime and if offered he would go I'm sure without a doubt
dont forget nearly 20 years ago when stephen managed us he was irish under 20 manager or something like that. brian kerr was manager with st pats ath and then went to irish underage team. I like to think if Stephen takes it he will make a huge difference to the irish underage structure.Quote:

This is all very strange.
If McCarthy does really well, we send him packing.
If Kenny has a nightmare with the U21s, we give him the senior job.
I don't get why this decision has been made.
However, from a purely Derry City point of view, happy days!
I'd say he will be top of the list.Quote:

The only slight potential for confusion is if McCarthy completely overachieves, but I think that's a relatively safe bet.
The point is that this is (reported as being as, anyway) with a VIEW to taking over the senior team, ie this affords both Kenny a good opportunity to acclimitise to an international set-up before jumping straight into the big one, and also the suits an opportunity to weigh up his performance at a lower level.
It's not as if it's set in stone that Kenny gets it regardless of whether he completely bombs or not.
It's been proven over the years that planning ahead in international football tends to bear fruit. I don't trust the FAI to actually pull anything off and the McCarthy appointment in isolation couldn't be duller, but credit where it's due I think this is actually a smart move all round.
And it'll probably even things up a bit in the LOI and all. Grand job.
Seems there is a Santa Claus after all
Its a PR stunt by the FAI.
The reaction to McCarthy being appointed shocked them and this is their response.
I can understand Kenny being tempted by the opportunity. I hope, for his sake, that they don't screw him.
Ding dong the witch is dead.
Classy as ever.Quote:

I wonder if bradser did get the DFC job would it be possible for EZ to post more often about him :)
Does Long not already have a day career?Quote:

Neither of those things are possibleQuote:
