Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane Backers

That Israel game where Kerr replaced Robbie Keane with Graham Kavanagh (I think) and lost a 2 or 3 goal lead was the beginning of the end for him.

didnā€™t whoever was in goals that night throw a few into the net.

A bit harsh, who was he to bring on, Aldridge? Kav was a lovely footballer, much underrated by the hoofball merchants.

Ipswich got rid of big Mick because they played awful football. I remember the football being pretty decent under Mick but weā€™d vastly superior players under him. Would Mick just do the exact same as Oā€™Neill? He might snarl a bit less at Oā€™Donoghue maybe :joy:

Himself and Kinsella never got the props

He brought him on in the first half if memory serves me right after weā€™d played some brilliant soccerball. He had no reason to go defensive really. It completely changed the game.

Micks done, heā€™s a caricature. We need to be more progressive in our thinking.

Iā€™d say JD will try and bring in an outside manā€¦

He had to change it, we lost Robbie to injury and didnā€™t have a like replacement for him. The players should have been able to cruise home in that position.

Was it Mickees favourite Dudu Aote that drew the ire that night?

Our new manager will be Johns legacy to us as he sails off into the UEFA sunset in 2020.

Kerr was sacked because we drew or lost a good few games where we went 1,2 or 3 up and then played 11 men behind the ball desperately trying to hang on. It was deeply frustrating at the time as we played some ok football at times.

Kerr was blackguarded

That was a 0-0 or a 1-1 in the Old Lansdowne. I remember it because it was the only international soccer match I was ever at.

Bit of movement in odds since 08:13

Mick out to evens
Stephen Kenny in to 6/1
Roy Keane in to 10/1
Sam Allardyce is 33s in to 12/1.

He was unlucky with results when they mattered. Never got the rub of the green

Step forward Big Sam

David Moyes 20/1 :fearful:

The Irish people want attractive football? Get me Allyrdyces number

He deserved more time but as always the idiot YBIG crowd think weā€™re better than we are

Anyone betting on Keane can give me their money and Iā€™ll burn it for them
