    KS is the anti to any straight-on talk managers including our own or Lyttle etc...

    Watching him on the sidelines last night was a show in itself.

    Two fingers at one time to the home crowd and then to his own sitting in the OP stand

    Got a belt of a line mans flag during the match as well.

    He has his own thread here - what bigger tribute can we afford the guy?

    He no clown indeed.

    could it be argued that this year the standard in the league has taken a slight dip? just for arguments sake like

    It is pantomime stuff and it masks a quality he is bringing to Derry City.

    Given the players they lost over the last number of seasons, it is a credit to him to have put together a good side. Not just that, they came to Oriel Park to play football.

    There were a few controlled long passes into the body of Coffie, but mostly it was young lads trying to pass out from the back. At times it looked kamakazi football, and reminded me of Rossiter and Boyle when Kenny introduced a passing style into Dundalks game in 2013.

    It will be a white knuckle ride for Derry fans this season, but no one will be bored.

    Athlone could do with Labuts and Sfrijan back to shore up that leaky defence
    The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians

    Nobody would suspect anything in that team.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    No when we were knocking on the door in Paul Cook's time Matthew Blinkhorn and Danny Centre were key players, no harm to the lads but they wouldn't be on Johnny Caulfields robbing list.

    The club I once knew and grew up with no longer exists. Almost 2 years since I've attended a game now. Time for committee to realise change is needed before it gets even worse.

    The commitment of playing it out from the back has caused the waiting list for Altnagelvin's cardio unit to almost double. Heart-in-mouth stuff at times. You're right, though, no boredom.

    Good to see Kenny get a bit of credit around here. Obviously quite happy for him to wind everyone up to the max if we keep playing football and getting results in the manner we have.

    As for last night's ref, he was fussy and made some weird decisions but, honestly, I thought he got most them right. The penalty, Peers red (doesn't matter if it was only two fouls, Kenny, if the two fouls were yellows) etc. Hoare's tackle looked super dodgy from where we were and definitely should have been a yellow but would need to see Soccer Republic to see if it was anything more.
    Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?

    Also we last won a league game on May 5th 2017 beating Cobh in Athlone Town Stadium 2 - 1.

    Last competitive win and clean sheet was against Ballimcollig (0 -5) in the FAI Cup on 12th August 2017.

    As somebody who hasn't really been following it, what is going on with Athlone? Are the committee well-intentioned but just incompetent? Or is there something else at play?

    All fans banned? Not just specified individuals who are banned from the ground?

    If so, this must be against the league rules.

    Have to say I agree - they did not know who was on the bus etc - just a blanket ban. Very questionable approach IMO.

    We had trouble with fans from different clubs over the years but didn’t ban them all!

    And why not announce the decision before they travelled?

    All very strange
