huge result for the Faories and Kerr if it stays at 2-1 - best in their history?

naah they beat Austria a few years ago in a championship

**SkStu** · 09/09/2009, 6:05 PM

fair enough.

theyre celebrating it like it matters though!! Huge roar from the crowd and full time 2-1 for Faroes. (Lithuania had Bohs hero Mindu Kalonas in the team).

Fair play to Kerr.

Kerr will be up with the Fairies later on.

The sound dropped off for most of the post match interview but it was easy to see the sheer delight on his face.

**Eirambler** · 09/09/2009, 6:27 PM

Nice interview with him there at the end. I guess as manager of the Faroes thats as good as it can get really.

Having said that, while Kerr's in charge I'd rather avoid them in future qualifying groups, could be a disaster waiting to happen.

**paul_oshea** · 09/09/2009, 6:39 PM

ya but kerr is smart, he is using it as a stepping stone, its his next step up to a mediocre european team or league and then if he does well in that its his way in to top(er) management tier.

**The Legend** · 09/09/2009, 7:27 PM

Kerr for Kazakhstan!!!

**stiffler** · 09/09/2009, 8:07 PM

Fair play Kerr.

**Pauro 76** · 09/09/2009, 9:19 PM

Well done Brian Kerr, delighted to see him doing well. Folk hero in the Faroes now.

**shakermaker1982** · 10/09/2009, 6:32 AM

Good on him. I bet he has a sore head this morning!

**Claret Murph** · 10/09/2009, 6:46 AM

He had a sore head in Graz at the weekend too every night in the pub.

**macdermesser** · 10/09/2009, 8:07 AM

The man has talent. I'm hoping that he can get step up to a Sweden/Denmark/Hungary type job and have some major success with them .. before becoming almost impossible to resist for the FAI. (One Pats-Ireland fan's fantasy)

**Duggie** · 10/09/2009, 8:09 AM

fair play brian, great to see him doing well. great result against a decent side.

**Stuttgart88** · 10/09/2009, 9:37 AM

yeah, well done Kerr.Great win. Lithuiania beat Romania 3-0 in Romania at the start of the campaign.

Is the Faroese equivalent of Joe Duffy or Marion Finucane calling him a "miracle worker" now?

**Lenny82** · 10/09/2009, 11:05 AM

I always thought Kerr was very unlucky to be turfed out when he was. His biggest mistake was going 4-5-1 when we went 2-0 up against Israel, but if we had held out for the 2-0 win he would have been a great man. Also, Israel's last minute equalizer against us didn't help either.

Delighted to hear when he got the Faroes job. If he picks up 4 points in a qualifying campaign plus a friendly win or 2 along the way they'll make him president. He is clearly using this as a stepping stone to further his managerial career and why not!! Fair play to him!!!
