    Bray manager & assistant not present tonight?

    http://www.irishfootballonline.com/n...hp?newsid=4550

    "Neither Bray manager Pat Devlin nor his assistant Tony McGuirk were present tonight at the Brandywell as Bray Wanderers slipped to a 3-0 loss at the hands of Derry City."

    If thats true - that is shocking!!!!

    RTE Radio 1 commentary team verified that neither of them were at the game. Devlin certainly sounded like he was backing away from Bray when interviewed about his new FAI job a few weeks ago. The end is nigh I imagine.

    Devo is no longer manager.

    He is "Director of Football", with no responsibility for the first team.

    To be fair pete, it was a journalist who assigned that title to him.

    He has no direct role.

    McGuirk is in charge, assisted by Eddie Gormley. Devo said that it was time for him to step back, but that he would be available for Bray in any role they wanted him in

    Makes you think though .... if the league held out a small bit more when Devlin was being a complete whinging bítch over the ten team league we might still have one.

    Can we change it back now hes not looking ??

    You underestimate his motivational skills. It could easily have been 4-0.
    You can't spell failure without FAI

    6 or 7 if it wasnt for that keeper or the bar, the ball just doesnt want to go in for Pat McCourt who hit bar from corner and post from about 25 yard free kick or Mchugh, who nearly lost it in the first half when the keeper made a brilliant save from his header.

    What do you mean, like raise the bar .... how perfectly fitting given this thread is devoted to a man who continually strides to improve Irish football and as you say "raise the bar" !!

    What a stupid remark Frank. It's because it's "his" countries B-Team manager that he cares. Do you expect people to just toe the part line?
