There you have it. And everyone screaming for Kenny to be gone. We havenāt the players and heās had an unquantifiable run of bad luck. People forget quickly how bad we were under the last three managers.
That was my point and my question.
We qualified or came close to qualifying under all 3 for tournaments
Itās the perfect storm.
Weakest group of players in decades, a rookie manager, an association in turmoil who are also flat broke.

Ah we were still in contention to qualify for Euro 2004 on the last day of the campaign. Euro 2008 we lost the opening two games against Germany and Cyprus before a promising young defender named Paul McShane made his debut in a 1-1 home draw with Czech Republic.
This isnāt a circle jerk or rubby, Itās a results business.

Exactly. And lads laying it all on Kenny.
Ireland at the moment is a combination of shit players and a shit manager.
Hence we lost at home to Luxembourg.

Stephen Kenny is a smelly aul 80 year old hookerās cunt, dripping with homeless menās cum.
I agree that we donāt have much in the way players. Certainly creatively. But do we have players that could beat Luxembourg?
We looked dangerous when we were pumping crosses in the box? Would a more pragmatic approach have worked?
The players for what? To qualify? Yes fair enough but to say that our level is 10 games without a win and without even a 30 minutes spell of decent football in that time is not true.
Kenny simply isnāt up to it and I would think that a half decent coach would get a lot more out of us.

Think we need to merge this thread with the irish politics, the Corona thread, the leo varadkar thread and the live line thread.
Go back to your rubby threads ffs.
Agreed. We certainly donāt have the players to consistently break down teams with intricate moves but we do have players that can put in decent crosses
McCarthy got the same group of players into the Euro play offs, MON and Keane got us to the Euros, Trap got us to the Euros.
Exactly.
Finland and Luxembourg mopped the floor with us in our own back yard.
Weāre going no whereā¦ 10 games is 2 years worth of international football in old money, get him the fuck out now.
Anyone want a handy like to make themselves feel a little better?
Iām handing them out like fuck for congratulatory messages.

Theyāll try and draw parallels with Michael Oā Neillās first campaign with Northern Ireland where they lost to Luxembourg too and struggled big time before a dramatic upturn in the next campaign to qualify for Euro 2016.
That is some strike in fairness
