The first two seconds here make it all the better. Nonchalantly walking away from play going on ten yards from him...

Oh my, SPA 1 Bohs under 19s 3! - classy performance by the Bohs youngsters. Poor Pats crowd also.
[QUOTE=placid casual;1976133]Great 3 points for Rovers against a dour Derry side.
The fight for 3rd remains the only bit of intrigue left this season it seems. The upcoming Rovers-Waterford game should be a belter.
And a big WTF to the psni stopping the ultras bus from getting into the ground cos" there's too much drink taken".
Presbyterian moral values alive and well in the nordie shades it seems.[/QUOTE]
To mirror those Presbyterians thinking in the Bogside...sweet jaysus! PC 'wise up!'
Does that mean the PSNI were outside the Brandywell car park ?!
There's a law against the presence and consumption of drink on buses on the way to or from sporting fixtures in NI - believe it or not. More details here : http://www.sportni.net/sportni/wp-co...-operators.pdf
He may match Jim's record of major trophies this year and is currently contracted to 2020. If he stays till then he will most probably surpass his trophy haul record.
He has been open about his personal ambitions to manage at the highest levels possible.
Of course he will not stay forever - that's too long for anyone
We have had plenty of Irish managers in the UK, but they were famous as players there also.
How many managers have actually been successful in the UK after a playing career and early management career that was only/mainly LOI?
Fenlon, Kenny, Collins had brief and less than successful spells there. Who else?
Great win for a ‘new’ Bohs starting X1 😎 even after shipping an early goal they won realitively comfortably. Nice game to watch but lacking any real intensity given both were safe and Bohs had one eye on next week. Pats were truly awful throughout. Great decision by Long to play the bulk of the U 19 team that won a cup recently at Richmond and it paid off.
For Derry fans ( who appear to fret on these things) nobody climbed over the fence although there was reports of goal celebrations - no injuries reported 😳
Just recovered today really from a great trip to Cork, obviously got the result we wanted and a great display, but we certainly weren't expecting that type of lame display by the home side.
Had a great day and night down there, stayed over, have to say very friendly set up, including the steward who sorted us out from inside the away end when we told him a mate had left a ticket at the gate, he immediately got it and the two of us got straight in. Had a good chat with some decent Cork fans too after the game in the Beer Garden pub close to the ground.
To think of all the fuss everyone made about tickets, myself included to a degree, we didn't actually get ours until 4pm but always knew we'd get in. Sensible idea too moving all DFC fans who bought online to away end.
Its a lovely ground, my second visit, the other was Dundalk's last win there, 2-1 in April 2015. The new wheelchair area is just perfect, we had one fan in there and she enjoyed the game with a great view, new toilets too, other clubs and not too far away from me take note !
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Yeah, I am thinking about really homegrown players and then managers.
Allardyce may have started at Limerick, but most of the trust in him would have come from his career as a player. Winning the LOI first division would have meant nothing if he didn't have that career in English football.
Eoin Hand got around four years with Huddersfield after his time with Ireland had come to an end. Not sure he had much success. He cut his teeth as both a player and a manager in the LOI.
