You not think he might go for a drink or at least a cocoa before going to bed?

Pats are struggling at the moment big time, Cork totally took the p1$s out of them tonight. Cant see how their squad will cope with the Setanta and a relegation battle together later in the season :D

And Europe! But Kenna will be gone by then. Just shows it was Ian Foster that was the main cog in the machine last season, no wonder he wanted to take him with him. Thank God Fozzy had some sense

Ian Foster is a fantastic manager. Watching him on the sideline is a joy to behold, how he tries so hard for the good of the team.

He is getting his just deserts. He thought he was bigger than Galway Utd so he fecked off to Pats, where he knew that if he got a another job offer at some point during the season he'd take it. He is a money grabber and we are far better off with Ian Foster

Sorry, but that's quite a bit off...

heard Pats fans.

Pats fans were saying in Galway last week that Kenna goes home twice a week back to England.That cant be good.

Just thinking, at Galway his results picked up when they played 4-5-1, with O'Shea behind the striker. Was that a tactical piece of management, or was it a bit of defensiveness that seemed to accidentally work ?

That was a tactic that Ian Foster introduced in training, on his arrival. If you look back at when Ian signed for united last season, you will see that that was when our season turned around, previously to that, jeff hadn't won a single match with united as manager.

But yet ye all loved Jeff when he was in charge...funny how now, just cos he's gone, Foster was the genius behind everything:rolleyes:.

Ditto with Sligo fans with Connor.

Anyway, it's hard to make these judgements until both parties go their seperate ways, especially considering the modest accomplishments that Galway achieved last season.

Here's a link to the reaction to the Derry-Bohs game on Friday. Scroll forward to 2.56 for a recap of the goals and then post match interviews with Stephen Kenny, Mark McChrystal and Pat Fenlon.

Great atmosphere

Same with some of our fans with Hegarty when Kenny left.

Athlone's mascot was dismissed last night. Proper order too; hate mascots. Then Athlone had a lad booked twice for complaining between our goal and the restart. We missed about four open goals. Bizarre game. Very enjoyable though. :)

Ya we did WHEN he was with us, but he f**ked about and p!ssed us about for month and then decided to leave. He would have had the people of Galway's respect had he decided to leave immediately after the UCD game, but he waited around and committed to us and then went

You clearly missed my point.

How much?

That's around the figure we thought up there too but it's hard to judge when it's not your ground.

Pat's were appalling, Byrne looked like he just wanted to get off the pitch and away from the embarrassment, clown.

That said I was delighted with how we played and for the first time didnt line the goal after going 1 up. Great laugh in the first half '7 more goals and we're top of the league' but second half was dead, like a training game.

Great trip though, wasn't expecting that sort of win at all.

And you also missed it. Well done.

I'm saying just cos someone leaves the club, it's no reason to take away from what they done while at your club. Yes you'd lose respect for them or hate them cos of the way they left but if they did a good job while there, why try and say it wasn't him(Kenna) at all, it was Foster all along.

That they thought he was a good manager when he was with them and now think he's crap after he's gone.

isnt that just the nature of being a fan??

I can see why Galway fans are saying what they are. Roddy was vilified (by a large minority) after he left Bohs and everyone said it was Pete Mahon that won the league until Pete actually took over.....

bleh. Silly argument.

Yeah, I agree. As I said no real way of judging who has the bigger impact until both go their seperate ways. Naturally enough the manager is going to get the most praise for a job well done.

It's very, very hard to stomach as a Pats supporter. We've had periods before when we were a poor poor side (late Eamonn Collins to early Johnny Mac era for example) But I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in the team and management as I am now. Last time we were poor we were spending sod all and at least had the excuse of a bargain basement squad, but we were still better then than we are now. I'd guess we're still in the top 3/4 spenders as well. There is the backbone of a decent, fairly experienced squad there (though admittedly very short on options up front.) To be surrendering games the way we have lately is something of a disgrace. I know it's early days and I would never usually be in favour of knee jerk reactions, but all the signs are that Kenna just isn't up to the job. Hard to see things improving with him in charge. Europe could be horrific :eek:

Whats the general feeling among Pats fans with Kenna, has he impressed ye with anything he has done, or has he just been solid useless in yere opinions?

really? is it not just chest and head?
so its just his foot that you can't get the ball back to the keeper.

You can't play it back to the keeper using your arms or the leg below the knee. Anything else is ok. Brennan does it all the time.
