Troy Parrott’s hair sums up Kenny’s tenure as Ireland manager
Dreadful since the second goal. I don't know what kind of excuses will be made for Kenny this time, but they're all wearing thin. Once again a win at the end of the window might put off the inevitable.

Troy Parrott’s hair sums up Kenny’s tenure as Ireland manager
And you talk about wasting money: how much money was wasted on that training camp to deliver this limp performance? There should be a bit of an inquest into what was done there.

Incredibly disappointing performance. Not sure where things go from here. Haven’t managed back to back good performances under Kenny. It’s probably time up now.
What was Doherty thinking? I get that he's frustrated, but come on.
Doherty the moronic full stop at the end of this farce.

Abject failure there, the end is nigh….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
That was absolutely awful - pure sh*t on a stick from our patented donut team.
Sadly we’ll just have to wait for quality players to emerge and fill that hole.
Hard to see a way back for Stephen Kenny after this. The beginning of the end.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Maybe the worst performance under Kenny,? Its rare you see a side so tactically out thought.
Disgraceful by Doherty …. But shouldn’t deflect from Kenny being the real disgrace.. cue now his usual post match gibberish interview. “.. you know , we’ll we looked you know like we you know ….”Originally Posted by NeverFeltBetter
There precious little to think positively about out there. Once again Stephen Kenny's Ireland are realistically out of the running within a few games. It's not good enough. No more moving goalposts.

Worst performance I've seen in a long time. Do they give stats for unforced errors in football because they would have set a record tonight. Whatever about Kenny, the team were absolutely woeful in terms of their decision making.
As said above though, that training camp was completely useless. Ferguson might as well have stayed home. Doherty is a disgrace.
Bazunu is the only one to come out with any sort of credit at all and that says it all.
21 leagues and 25 cups.
Yup. We were so far from what he says he wants from us in terms of possession, etc, that you - again - wonder where this is going.
The contract extension should be looked into...
Missed the first 5 minutes, but saw that we never even showed up for the first 15 or so, deservedly behind.
Came back into it for a bit, lovely movement for the equaliser, not much in the rest of the first half.
After their second goal, we had 42 minutes to score, and it was one of the most anaemic second halves I've ever seen. No creativity, no plan, no energy, nothing.
They looked like one of those Best XI sides at a charity event who all joined up about an hour before the game never having played together before. It was just dreadful.
Bazunu decent, the rest anonymous at best, if not memorable for how bad they were.

Fair play to Bazunu, when TOD lines up the excuse of the laser pointer, he says straight away it didn't effect him. Don't want to hear about lasers or heat or the end of the season. Those excuses do not cut it.

Yeah fair play to Bazunu
No idea what is going on with forum IT but wasting time on a lot of posts that get deleted
Operation Kenny has ended. Can be argued it was partly successful during a time that we had a terrible pool of players incapable for qualifying for any major tournaments. Several objectives met - saved money with a LOI manager, significant improvement in FAI finances, and several blooding of promising new players.
Kenny unfortunately hasn’t progressed beyond LOI standard as I had hoped he would. Woefully out of his depth. Now it’s time to get serious with USA 2026 just around the corner. New manager in promptly to enable ample time to fine tune things ahead of WC qualifiers.
He has Monday to say goodbye, and a new manager will be in for the September games
The only thing I expect from him Monday, is give Mc Clean his hundredth cap, and let him finish up too
We've a young team, with potential, but this campaign is over already.. let a new guy prepare for maybe, just maybe.. absolutely poxxing a play off spot..
He must be close to the chop now?
If I was at the FAI I’d be wondering what they were doing in the training camps. They looked clueless from minute one.
Centre MF do not want the ball and do not offer any protection. What’s the point? Lost count the number of times they took a ball from the CB and it would go straight back or sideways. We cannot play through the lines. That was woeful.
