source?
Horse manure.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
sorry to go off topic on this one but best underage structures in the world ? Are you for real, these underage structures havent produced a top class player since Shay Given made his debut in 96
There is great numbers playing the game alright but that has always been the case for the last 20-30 years
Sorry he was top class, he managed to beat georgia, albania, faroe islands and cyprus in his time in charge.
And couidn`t beat swiss(x3), france(x2), russia at home, israel(x2) and his victory in cyprus and at home to albania were nearly as bad as anything staunton has produced
Better then staunton but thats not hard but unfortunately kerr was a flop
You said he was hopeless, which I repeat, is horse manure. His record wasn't perfect, but in no way was it as bad as some people make out.Things went wrong during the latter part of the WC campaign, that can happen. I've had this argument on the Ireland forum here before, but two competitive defeats is not a hopeless record. You're right about one thing though, he's miles better than Staunton. It's good to have him back where he belongs, and where he's appreciated.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
His team bottled it on a few occasions but I don't think he was hopeless. If only he could have got the team playing in competitives like they did in friendlies. He has us playing excellent football. The game in Holland was fantastic and the Dutch were really up for it in their last match before the Euro's. All Given's kickouts were short to the defenders who never hoofed it up the pitch. He's a really tactically astute guy and well up on the modern game. Also, nobody ever looked like scoring against us at one point. He had Cunningham and O'Brien looking like Nesta and Cannavaro.In the friendlies he had Duff playing the best football he ever played (Italy, Portugal, Croatia). I just wish he could have transfered that to competitives.
I think he lost the dressing room thanks to most of our players not having a clue and being lazy but if I took over a club in England Kerr would be the first guy to get a call.Roy Keane was obviously impressed by him. His tactics, coaching and football knowledge is top notch, maybe things like motivational and man management skills could be improved on.
The only games from the WC campaign we could have realistically played much better was Cyprus away and Switzerland away but we still got the points in those games. Israel at home we should have won 5-0, freak game. Switzerland were the team that nobody could score against at the world cup and without Duff and Keane we really hadn't got the team to beat them.

Good news for Pats.
What are the plans for Richer?
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

bhs = gary doyle?
reads like the irish mirror take on events in any case
Maybe he reads the Irish Mirror
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
he posted it last night
the mirror was out this morning with this story....
> He knows bhs, he just wants to know how you know
I aint a hack, in fact a Pats fan filled me in on all the nitty gritty details yesterday afternoon!

ps. lads, any truth in the rumour that a Dublin NFL franchise team will play in the completed stadium every second week?
bhs

Seeing as Johnny Mc will be under severe pressure this year to win a trophy, is is safe to asume that Kerr will just happen to be waiting in the wings to take over next season if there's no silverware?
False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
under what pressure???
this years playing budget is LESS than last years.
Under pressure from who? Read the last paragraph of Kerr's interview in this morning's I.Times - "Not this year". Read all our predictions / hopes for this year before the season started - top four in the League. decent Cup run (without actually winning it cos we don't win the Cup), decent Setanta run.
None of that changes cos of yesterday's news. This is long term stuff we're looking at.
Revenge for 2002
