    god help football in kildare

    ah he truly was the pits, no charisma at all. One of his own signings at utd told me that he was the pits to work for always concentrating 100% on stopping the opposition from playing never ever encouraging people to go out and win. whoever awarded him a pro licence forgot to tell him that you have to score goals to win games. 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.

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

    Unless Cousins is doing it for free he's a ludicrous appointment.

    Poor Kildare.

    He turned out to be a truly disastrous appointment for us.Who knows,maybe he has learned a few things such as:1-when you have small strikers its no use punting long high balls up to them all day:2-as someone said already,the object of the game is try SCORE:3-if tactics are not working make changes,have a plan B.

    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 recognised

    He was the only manager not holding coaching badges operating in the league I believe as when I was at a seminar in the FAI it was mentioned there was only 1 person not holding qualifications and I cant think of another that doesnt

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

    Barry O'Connor does have some coaching badges as far as I know, but John Ryan I'm not so sure and I think thats why Ryan could stay in charge, but again not sure if thats 100% right.
    Everyone needs something to believe in, I believe I'll have another beer.

    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

    To be honest I thought Cousins did a good job for us in Division 1 when he took over. We were playing decent football and went on a great run which nearly got us promoted on the field!! However when things started going badly in the Premier Division he didn't seem to have any ideas. If he was still in charge at this stage I think we'd already be relegated.

    Best of luck to him at Kildare though.
    I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
