ROI v's AZE & SRB

No-one kisses the badge like James. International class

Luck ??? Ah Jesus Flatty

Well now go back to being a ‘footballing nation’ with zero players who live in the country and a management team who have never been in the country before let alone give two tupenny fucks about the sport at grass roots level. Kenny has failed but it’s utterly depressing for proper soccer men surely. Is there any equivalent worldwide?

Look, McLean gave it everything with us. Let’s not forget that… But his time is done.

Soccer men?

The fact youre asking that etc …

Kenny got he’s chance but there’s only so much goodwill wished before it’s time to say fuck off you bluffer

Its deflating.

There is no appetite to suffer to break through.

It was always going to be painful

Azerbaijan weren’t a bad side. We’ve no God given right to knock them over.

There was good spirit there but the truth is we reverted to type and became a typical old style British stick it in the mixer team. And that’s all we could do. There isn’t the quality in the squad to break down even 5th seed defences. Which sort of makes the whole Kenny idea seem a bit pointless, admirable in principle as it is. People talk about the North but they had/have a proper ball playing midfielder in Steve Davis and a good striker in Kyle Lafferty. We don’t have that.

That was quite a concerning coaching appointment in hindsight. An uninspiring assistant.

He’s an absolute failure with a haircut of an 8 year old traveller but they simply have to keep him.

A match made in heaven.

Was there ever much of a clamour for Pat Fenlon to get the job? They have very similar credentials. Both managed in Scotland and reached a cup final there too but struggled in the league.

Daragh Moloney reckons qualification is probably gone now.

Weren’t you getting uppity about me slagging a player but you think its ok to slag the manager?

At least he wasn’t commentating

Almost identical. But Fenlon has more of a League of Ireland accent than Kenny.
