Gavin Cooney already knows the style of football this fella is going to play.

I’d say Cooney had never heard of him at 3 o’clock today.

Has Johnny Ward thrown his weight behind the new man?

Johnny Ward and John Duggan could swing this back around the other way quick enough.

Johnny is busy exposing JP McManus any day now

Gav Cooney is the personification of the modern day nerdy soccer reporter type. I’d doubt he even played the game after U14’s as I just can’t imagine he’d get changed for a match in an old lorry/container.

As an aside, I laughed when I heard Richie Sadlier dissecting Cole Palmer’s thought processes as he approached the first penalty in the shootout in the Euro quarters against Switzerland.

It was a mixture of Bressie bullshit with a conviction he knew what he was talking about from experience, which we all know he doesn’t come within an ass’s roar of.

Doesn’t matter.

He scores pretty much every penalty he takes.

That’s my point. I’d say he’s too thick to feel nerves.

Paul Breitner used to say something similar about Gerd Muller. Muller by all accounts was not intellectually minded.
