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

    Jim McLaughlin came to Dundalk as player-manager in November 1974 and by the time he left to manage Rovers in June 1983 he had won 3 league titles and 3 FAI Cups, including a double in 1979. Additionally he also won a couple of League Cups while giving fans some fantastic experiences in Europe which included a last 16 in the European Cup. 6 major trophies in 9 seasons is outstanding

    Stephen Kenny is about to complete his 6th season at Dundalk and the impending league title will be his 4th in that period to add to the FAI Cup in the double winning season in 2015 and a pair of League Cup wins. 5 major trophies in 6 season (with the possibility of a 6th with a shot at another FAI Cup this season). He has also created some special European exploits that will remain long in the memory. There is little doubt that his record at Dundalk compares favourably with Jim's and may well surpass it if he stays to the end of his contract in 2020.

    The biggest difference is when their honours at other clubs are taken in the mix, with Jim McLaughlin having 8 league titles and 6 FAI Cups across his career with Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers, Derry City and Shelbourne (in addition to winning promotion with Drogheda)

    Stephen Kenny has a bit of catching up to do - he can add a single league title with Bohs and an FAI Cup win with Derry (to his haul of 6 League Cups) to his impressive Dundalk total, it remains well short of Jim's career total.

    At only 46 years old, time is on his side but he has a lot of catching up to do. He is at the right club to close that gap rapidly
    Surely Kenny doesn't plan to be at Dundalk forever, and will move on whenever he can get a bigger job in a different league ? He's done it before.

    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?

    Embarrassing from us. Gutless performance. Some poor selections too. Ian Bermingham and Conan Byrne both left on the bench. As was Kevin Toner.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    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 😳

    Does Sam Allerdyce count ? Launched his managerial career at Limerick.

    If you wanted to understand my point, you should be able to.

    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).

    Sligo had a few too, but I think osarusan is looking at LoI players who've gone on to be successful managers abroad. Kenny is maybe the only one, and even then his success abroad is questionable/limited

    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.
