It was a shambles. Sitting on the edge of our box, backing off into our box instead of making tackles and allowing maguire to outmuscle us at a corner, it was pitiful, no attempt to compete or to try to bridge the gap in player calibre between the teams with ab actual.plan specifically designed to address the England threats. But we passed the ball around at the back until.it ended up in the corner and we had to smash it up the line anyway
We could do with a rumour ~ The FAI is neglecting us by not having a rumour or even a whisper !

Its really not that complicated!!!
Theres a fella on another forum that is saying that we were supposed to play Germany in a friendly but the new manager who will be announced today or tomorrow vetoed it as he wanted a warm weather training camp, so we get Portugal instead...
A vacuum of information like we have leads to lads making up sh1t and trying to pass it off like they are in the know. If the FAI do manage to get Carsley over the line we might actually have to start respecting how they are going about their business. Its so hard to believe that none of the journalists on the Irish beat have any inside info. Canham and Hill being outsiders to Irish football does lead to that I supposed, but even so its very impressive how nothing is coming from the FA side either.

If a new manager is actually announced tomorrow then yeah fair ****s to the FAI keeping it tight lipped. News like that would normally leak after a board meeting.
Though I don't think we'll be finding out tomorrow who the next manager is. Given how little anything meaningful is being reported by journos I'd say Hill, Canham and Bonner are keeping anything worth reporting to themselves.
With the draw also on tomorrow, they might wait until Friday to get the full attention from the press
An osteopath? Getting rid of Packie then?
Mark McCadden doubling down on saying that Carsley turned down the job this evening.

The longer this goes on the more opportunity it gives to the fair to f**k it up.
Yeah, I'm starting to worry they have failed with Carsley and don't have a plan b. At least they don't seem to be racing to appoint Lennon or someone of that ilk.
You can't spell failure without FAI
It's certainly a possibility - that Carsley has said no, they've got a sense of the public push back against Lennon and they're having to go looking for a new name, or at least hanging on a while longer before having to resort to giving the job to the Lurgan Flop.
Lurgan Flop
The worry now is the network. The only names that have been in contention for the past few iterations have been very connected to the FAI already. All former players, or merry-go-round UK-based managers. There hasn't been a single candidate mentioned who would lead me to believe the FAI have looked outside of the existing rolodex.
With our budget we should have at least tried to find a few reasonably unknown managers at early stages in their career who might want a challenge and a bigger stage. Going through ECL level managers, the A-league etc etc. They might not have gotten way with an unknown but they are now likely left with the devils we know all too well. I know the FAI is strapped in terms of resources on all fronts but.....they will probably now sink just as much time into trying to get Carsley by any means necessary.
21 leagues and 25 cups.
