    Would Curtis Fleming?

    It's going to be like life-sized Guess Who for the dog days of Kenny's time.

    Is he unemployed? (Flick flick flick)
    Irish (Flick flick)
    Has he managed before? (Flick flick flick)
    Unexpected choice? (Flick)
    Got 'im! It's...
    Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

    If we had 4-7m per year, Hansi Flick might be available. I wouldn't say no

    Played in the legendary ‘Shamrock Rovers’ v Brazil game. Often wondered what Miah was short for. Was supposed when Wiki came along to discover it was Jeremiah.

    shocking story. the final loi game he was involved in was against limerick for cobh. he gave away a penalty in the final 15 mins and never played for them again. same game was later investigated for match fixing.

    A fine player. A leg break seemed to affect his career quite a bit ( well I thought so ) Surprising the number of Irish full-backs that broke their leg down the years. I wonder ( statistically ) are full-backs more susceptible to leg-breaks for what-ever reason ? Especially, back in the day ?

    Maybe quite a bit of running and having to put in a lot of tackles. I'd like to see some specific research on that ?

    Anyone going to this tonight in Vicar Street? It’s raising funds for the irish professional footballers Benevolent Fund. Think it helps with players who have gotten dementia etc.

    As an aside, I heard that one notable name agreed to do the event and then after it was announced, he asked for a significant appearance fee and then pulled out.

    That same individual then wrote an article saying tha they put him on the lineup without ever asking him if he'd attend. Nice to be reminded how good it is that the country moved on from him
