A thoroughly alright sort. Best of luck to him.

:clap::clap::clap:

Good luck Noel.

3

Jesus wept :mad:

4

Well we needed a sacrificial lamb to oversee the massacre that will happen in Germany and I suppose King is as good a patsy as anyone.

Givens, Richard Dunne played at left back and was MOTM. Stephen McPhail played on the left wing. Think Wes Houlahan was on the bench as well

Ray Houghton is carving out a bit of a niche for himself as a headhunter it seems

Fuckin lovely!!

Had a nice bet at 11/8 at the weekend that there would be no permanent manager in place for the Germany game.

Great call. What manager would take that on as his first match?

10

Who’s this guy headhunting with Houghton? Never heard of him.

11

It was 7/4 the previous day but a mate of mine took all of that and tipped me off on the bet.
Couldn’t believe the price.

12

Former Qatar U20 coach, thats good enough for me

13

Isn’t he the technical director or head of performance or some such role. Took over from Wim Koovermans

14

Does this mean the chances of O’Neill taking over are decreasing?

15

Possibly, I think it is a case that the FAI are testing the waters to see who may be available rather than just rushing in and appointing O’Neill. The 2 to 3 million euro a year will attract plenty of experienced managers

16

Who is noel king ?

17

Being asked to manage Ireland now is like being asked to skipper the Titanic minutes before a huge fucking iceberg looms over the horizon.

King will guide us through to the eventual end of this dismal campaign before the new man takes charge.
