Brian Kerr tonight pointing the finger at Delaney, Ruud Dokter and the old FAI -
“Tonight isn’t just down to Stephen’s faults or the team’s faults,” he said. “This has been coming for a good while.
“This is the fault of a lack of proper player development structure and coaching structure in Ireland for many years. There has been a dearth of talent coming through from the teams.
“Suddenly, Stephen is pouring players through to the senior team from the U21s who aren’t ready.
“And the people who are in charge of that development should seriously be looking at themselves tonight, rather than just criticising the manager.
“We know how the FAI has been run for years and years, but there’s also been other people in charge of player development and the structures in charge of those players. It’s been sticking out for a long time. It’s been sticking out tonight."

Anyways not many positives, I think the FAI needs a new technical director as Ruud Dokter doesn't seem to be on the ball....
but you fast-forward 2 years from now, hope one or two new faces emerge, and hope that our first XI might develop into side that is watchable again.
