I don't really see the problem with those comments to be honest. Kenny hasn't got us anywhere near to qualifying for anything yet and until he starts to produce consistent results it's hard to argue with what is some fairly mild criticism there by Kerr.
Kenny too good for Ireland this country full of ballbags don?t deserve the king we have
Did you watch second half? Awful and coward performance
The Kenny appointment has been an absolute failure.
Well, four points gained over five Nations League matches doesn't make for particularly good reading. Especially when one of those games included a defeat to an Armenian side every other team in the group beat comfortably and who are barely among the top 100 nations in the world.Originally Posted by weldoninhio
The bald facts are that in 27 matches over four years - including a miserable seven-game goalless run - Kenny has won only six - against Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, Andorra, Qatar, Lithuania and (in his only notable win) Scotland. And three of those came in friendlies.
This is desperately poor by any standards.
If we manage to win entertainingly and convincingly on Wednesday then I guess we'll be assessing Kenny's future in the context of the performances in the three matches that went before, and it can be perhaps reasonably argued that progress is being made and he should probably be allowed to continue.
However, an abject team performance and a draw or a defeat against Armenia will put a wholly different complexion on matters and I think calls for Kenny's departure may well prove irresistible.
yes it has been, also he gave away his expansive football, second half played so deep, made me think about portugal away , for me this is the end, I WANT another football manager for Ireland , I suported his tenure but yesterday was enough , SCOTLAND AINT BRAZIL
the for the sake of irish football I want IRELAND TO lose and get Marcelo Bielsa
No it wasn?t. It was a good performance overall. Couple of key moments cost us, but that can happen in games .with two evenly matched teams.
For all the naysayers out there, one simple question. Have we played well in the last three games or not ? I can understand the criticism after losing to Armenia or Luxembourg, yes we should be wining those games. But our performances have been good lately, and if we keep that up I think results will come. Last night really doesn?t warrant a fresh batch of vitriol.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
He?s a serial loser. I don?t care if we play like Man City, we constantly lose. You get zero points for pretty play. We finished our last campaign level on points with Luxembourg. We are currently one point ahead of Armenia. That is the level Kenny has us playing to, performances can?t mask that.

Well, it is Kerr's modus operandi re punditry, It's not just Kenny that Kerr is sarcastic about.Seriously, what is Kerr's problem with Kenny?
He carries some seriously heavy chips on both shoulders.
To his credit, sometimes he's spot on, e.g. re Delaney/FAI
Was Kerr being sarcastic about Kenny?
I think he was being quite reasonable
He has a serious chips on his shoulders, obvious to all but the blind
That doesn't really answer the question though.
What did Kerr say in that clip that's so objectionable (bearing in mind he's a pundit and being paid to give an opinion, so he's not just randomly mouthing off)
It's not just that one clip, it's been consistent from Kerr throughout Kenny's reign
I AGREE with weldoninhio
27 matches is a lot. 2020-2021-2022 3 years is a lot for me. 5 victories : qatar, luxemburgo, azerbaiy?n, scotland , andorra
10 draws
10 defeats scotland ukraine armenia luxemburg england portugal serbia finland (2) wales
But what's wrong with that clip?
StuMy take is an overview of Kerr's comments over a period of time on his attitude on Kenny, in this instance his body language and shugs speak all but I can't quote that.That doesn't really answer the question though.

Here are all the reactive replies on twitter, delivered on the spot in response to Kerr's comments about Kenny, not scientific I know but I suspect are representative.
He’s very jealous of him which is obvious to see. He gets paid an awful lot of money off virgin media to talk a lot of ******** about this and that. The bloke is washed up. He’s just a bitter old jealous man who was never good enough to manage Ireland in the first place.
I'm a massive Brian Kerr fan, and we all know he tried to play football, but he needs to rise above his.own ego here, he has so much in common with Stephen Kenny, he's simply scarred by his own history
He honestly doesn’t like Kenny from the minute he got the job must be some history there
Brian is embarrassing himself at this stage. Every time he talks about Kenny
My god has he any family to advise him to shut up
Such a bitter old ******
StuWhat he said supports my interpretatation and how he said it supports it also in my opinion, it oozes begrudgery.That doesn't really answer the question though.

Regardless look at the few instant responses to Kerr's grumbles on twitter
