QuoteFair enough, assuming he lasts till then.
But suspect the OWB posse will be rather more vigorous in their contempt for Nige, depends how thick-skinned he is?
I was half hoping a former ROI Manager might be our next Manager.Originally Posted by geysir

Steve Staunton?? Normally wouldn't approve of An Lu man, but in these days of enlightenment....
My only "articulation" of my dissatisfaction of Bruce appearing in (and devaluing) a Northern Ireland shirt, will be to leave the ground, if he appears.
Others will boo him - my anger is at Worthington, moreso than Bruce.

I think we'll give Steve a swerve.

In fairness his international record more than stands up to comparison with Nigel's.
I think we'll give Steve a swerve.
But anyways I presume Brian Kerr is your favoured option for Nigel's replacement?
I think he is a realistic, and credible, prospect.

Might be a bit of a step down from the Faroe Islands though.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Aye, that might be a problem, right enough.

Presumably you would know he's playing, 'in advance'. What would be the point of either entering (or leaving) the ground if that happens?
Though Bruce is unlikely to play before at least a friendly, I reckon?
That's a good point, well made.
The second instalment on my Block Booking is overdue to be paid to the IFA - I'll be deferring payment on same, until I see the squad for the game against the Faroes.
If Bruce is included, I'll not be paying it.
Following the IFA fiasco with the Carling Cup, viz a viz travel arrangements etc, I have no intention of attending any Northern Ireland friendly matches for the foreseeable in any case.
Changed times for me, from when I spent my hard earned dosh on travelling all over the place to watch Northern Ireland play in friendlies.

With you on the friendlies thing, well definitely the home ones.
A complete waste of time and effort unless you're close to the venue.
I live approx 3 miles from Windsor Park.
I attended a friendly match there last night.
International friendlies are crap - whether they are 3 miles away, or 3,000 miles away.
However, my decision not to attend any friendly Internationals is not primarily based on the crapiness* of the fayre on offer.
*if that's a word.

I was talking to someone about Kerr recently and said I thought that'd be a shrewd move from the IFA for a couple of reasons. It could well happen.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Indeed.
Kerr has been very helpful to the IFA in recent years, and enjoys a good relationship with them (apart from the match against his charges) - there are plenty of people within the corridors of Windsor Avenue who would think highly of him.
I think he'd be a good choice - on various levels.

NB, do you mean you will be walking out for the last time? Or that you will walk out every time he appears?
And is there any awareness amongst Worthington and his superiors of how much of a mess this will actually make? They must be aware of how upsetting this will be for the supporters, so why carry on with it for a very run of the mill player?
Seems a lot more trouble than its going to be worth to me.
Let's call it a lateral move.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Without Kerr having any professional interest in the eligibility row whatsoever, he's had (hypocritical and petty) pops at the FAI about it in the Irish media. I'd dread to have to listen to him go on about it if he ever became involved with the IFA in an official capacity. And that wouldn't be just because of his accent!
I could see Kerr doing a Steve McLaren and showing up to the first press conference with a thick Belfast accent.
Aye, ok, whatever you think.
