Luxembourg v Republic of Ireland 14 Nov 2021

A total disaster. That doesn’t mean however he didn’t have eyes on the irish job. Look at, I’m only surprising here. I just think Brady has it in for Spock regardless of how he does for whatever reason.

I wouldn’t disagree with any of that and truth me told Rocko , youd know a lot more about it than I would. I just get the feeling that Brady is dead set against Kenny regardless.

When things were going bad for trapatoni Brady blamed the players.

He was very poor but not alone. Celtic didn’t finish in the top 2 for seven seasons and his spell was right in the middle of that. I don’t think he’s jealous of Kenny anyway.

There’s also the fact that Brady was part of Trap’s set up. It probably gnaws at him when Sadlier et al are going on about how refreshing Kenny’s approach is in contrast to previous regimes.

To be fair a manager with a win rate of less than 16% shouldn’t be immune from criticism.

Not jealous. Snobbery i reckon

Who’s on the panel tonight? I’ve around 20 minutes of chores to do but will put them off until 10.30pm if there’s a prospect of a good pre match row.

There’s possibly an element of that alright. But he wasn’t even calling for Kenny to be sacked. He just said we should wait and see. And I think that’s a very reasonable position. Kenny is getting a very soft time of it given results to date. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing because I think our last few managers probably all overstayed their welcome but weren’t as under performing as the media would have had us believe.

Brady and Sadlier again. Peter Collins wouldn’t make Brady as irate as Maloney did though. Peter’s a consummate professional.

Benign start so far

8 changes for Portugal tonight for their match v Serbia for what it’s worth. Only Patricia, Danilo and CR7 retained

Peter Collinses tie is lovely.

Skippy seems to have toned it down a bit.

Declan Ruth is on?

Sadlier talking a lot of sense

Yeah I mostly agree with him.

I wouldn’t defend the first half of Kenny’s reign and he has to accept responsibility for it but Sadlier’s right that Kenny has created a completely new team and he needed to try a lot of players to find the shit ones. There is clear progression and he deserves to be allowed continue that.

Also, Brady’s wrong in that you can’t appoint a manager for the Euros after the Nations League games because any new manager would need those games to experiment and find his best team.

Up Luxembourg.

Bazunu speaks really well for a 19 year old. A very solid young man. Hope he goes on to have a long career.
