To think the Newstalk generation wanted this??
OâDonoghue was worse with his interviews with Trappatoni and OâNeill.

He puts Duffy up front and then says we played âlonger than we would have likedâ

Duffy is our most likely source of goals
Donât worry mate, only 10 months till the hurling round robin games start in 2023. Some of the games will even take place in Tipperary and at a weekend too

That lad giving out about the round robin heading up to Dublin on a work night to attend a Mickey mouse competition.

This is textbook stuff. For years now lads become our âbestâ players by not actually playing for us. Always a clamour for x or y to come in to improve the team. I dont buy it at all. Idah has looked poor everytime heâs played. Tries hard but way below the level. Occasionally decent holding it up but no goal threat. Obafemi was fucked out of Soton for his attitude but they kept shane long. He was left for dead for the goal on saturday even though he was only just on the pitch. His case is basically that he runs fast but not necessarily to the right place. At least Ogbene has scored a few for us. And worked his hole off. And Parrott actually plays upfront so heâs worth another go.
And the midfield you put up is laughable. Two defenders in cm.

The late, great Johnny Giles used to always ridicule the tactic of throwing a defender upfront when chasing a late goal.
âBill, if it itâs not right to do it at the start of a game or in the middle of a game then I donât see why itâs right to do it at the end of a game. If you think putting a defender up there is the best way to score then why donât you start him up there? It just doesnât make sense to me Bill.â
Iâm seeing in my mindâs eye footage of Robert Huth fighting for balls in the opposition box late on in a Chelsea European exit under Mourinho, maybe at Anfield.

Robert Huth came to mind to be after reading your first sentence as well - weird!
Paul Warhurst for me. Different vintage.
Thatâs a fair point.
Gary Doherty being the obvious exception.
Duffy hasnât the feet to be a ball playing centre half. Never mind a CF
In the early stages of Kloppâs time at Liverpool, he fired big Steven Caulker up front once or twice to cause some havoc in the box.

Neil Lennon favourite for the job. I suppose apart from final year at Celtic he did well, plus it would piss off angry nordies but hard to see it.
Talking about the present though mate and i thought Obafemi did more in 20 mins than Ogbene and Robinson combined.
Has Kenny gone yet?
I hope this is a lesson for all the newstalk generationâŚbe careful what you wish for.
I remember Trapattoni and OâNeill under John Delaney. Great days.

Be a fucking terrible appointment, but he would be cheap. Which is their primary concern
Ogbene has played pretty well for the last 4/5 games. Even last night he looked one of our best. Obafemi was anonymous on saturday and ran around fast last night. Iâm no fan of Robinson and never have been. (My kid loves him though cos the first game he was ever at was the Qatar game!)
Lads shitting on Cullen when heâs solid Nd always puts in his shift. Heâs like Glenn Whelan 2.0.
Iâd be giving the Ginger Guardiola a shout.

Is âthe newstalk generationâ the latest TFK phrase du jour?
