TC shouldn't take the Galway abuse personally, because weren't they giving Kenna grief shortly after he arrived.
do you ever give up? you must be the biggest WUM on here.Quote:

Cousins was a disaster of a manager, should have been sacked earlier. Commiserations to Kildare fans, if the Spoofer gets you playing the horrible hoofball he did with us god help you!
What are you on about? It was in the Irish Indo that the Galway "fans" rounded on him during a game a few months back. I am not making this up.Quote:

Kenna has recieved little abuse as a manager. Nothing on the scale that Cousins recieved.
Just to give abit of a more balanced opinion on him Kildareman, his record with us wasnt actually that bad. The style of "football" though was awful though. Alot of his signings didnt work out either, he used to sign injury prone players(probably because he thought that he couldnt get anyone else) who duly got injured. He might work out for ye, i would imagine he has alot of contacts in the eircom league between his years playing and as an assistant at Drogheda, he was involved with the u23 team last week. He wont have the excuse that he cant get players to come down the country if nothing else.Quote:

Who's the AWOL keeper??Quote:

Jesus the cartel of managers with super dooper agent Pat Dolan got that clown Cousins a job? Ryan was a good manager and i dont see why some player or a reserve coach couldnt have been given the job with only three remaining. waste of money IM0
There must be some lunatic megalomaniac type involved who's promising them cash ;) :DQuote:

On a side not his brother Andy is manager of Newbridge Town at the age of 23 no less
You know, it will be funny for us Galway fans to see COusins in charge of Kildare, keep ye at the bottom of the league, lead ye into a play-off with Mervue United (a Galway junior club) and watch as they dump Kildare out of the League of ireland.
Obviously not funny from your point of view, but you'll have to excuse our laughter when he achieves that.
Are Dublin taxi plates permtted to pick up fares in Kildare?
'Taxi'
'Hey bud, where ya goin'
'Naas'
'Perfect bud, hop in, goin that way anyway'
Back this Up??????? :mad:Quote:

Theres always 2 or 3 gobsh1tes in every club. It doesnt mean all the fans went at itQuote:

His teams were the worst i ever had to witness in 30 years going to LOI games
To all those that believe Cousins appointment is a bad one for County please just look at the sharp decline in the last 4 seasons under Ryan. Also have a look at this seasons table and look at "goals against". Over 60 goals conceded. Ryan didnt hold one coaching badge, that i know of, and it was reflected in all his games. Thank god he's gone.
:DQuote:

If this is true (which I bet you diamonds it isn't) your club have been in breach of licensing.Quote:

Yeah I very much doubt that he didn'tQuote:

Up until the end of this season any new manager entering the league only needed a recognition of competence. From the start of the 2009 season managers in premier will have to hold A level and for the first will need A level. if a manager already has a recognition of competence it will still be recognisedQuote:

4. Signing a lot injury prone players may result in a lot of injuries :eek:Quote:

5. Just because he's related to you doesn't mean he is any good, no matter how good a player you were in your dayQuote:

6. You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Did he sign his cousins?! v:oQuote:

Best of luck to him at Kildare though.
Just one of them, a certain M LeechQuote:
