This is hilarious, even if not true. "You fecking prick." Just completely unwarranted.

Huge difference between Kenny and Kerr imhoAny managerial suggestions that are realistic? Brendan Rodgers would be nice but definitely not realistic.
The likes of Allardyce and Pulis are brought in to save smaller clubs falling into obscurity. Nearly always they rescue the club and then a year or two down the road fans get bored with hoof ball and they're on their bike again. That's what Ireland did. We were so poor for so long that we brought in a manager to stop the rot. It mostly worked as results have improved considerably even if it's not pretty on the eye.
They've earned the right to get one more campaign seem as no other realistic contenders have emerged. But I'd be interested to hear realistic suggestions who play the right way as I can't think of any? I would say no to Stephen Kenny as the job was too big for Kerr who was a league of Ireland sensation also. Mick McCarthy would probably get the job but not sure he's a huge upgrade on O'Neill in terms of style and he had an unbelievable squad to work from last time loaded with Champions League level stars like Roy Keane, Finnan, Duff, Given, Robbie Keane, Harte, Gary Kelly etc Then Niall Quinn, Richard Dunne, Steven Reid also. All first names on premier league teamsheet for their respective teams.
Kenny at least deserves a go, rather than whatever has-been Denis O'Brien's money can bring in.Huge difference between Kenny and Kerr imho
Kenny’s coaching is the future, reliant on young players expressing themselves and having a go. Just look at his Derry and Dundalk teams for how they played.
It is hilarious. Even if Harry Arter isn't a prickThis is hilarious, even if not true. "You fecking prick." Just completely unwarranted.
Yea, imagine you are at work and some fellow worker you have never had a problem came up to you and called you a "fecking prick." out of the blue. You would be flabbergasted. You would be laughing your head off.It is hilarious. Even if Harry Arter isn't a prick
I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here but probably to find out when he was going to train?If the whole thing is true, honestly, what did Keano try to achieve there by going to a player, asking him when he's going to train and calling him cnuts and pricks? I mean what's the point?
You mean ones who have never lived in Ireland all their lives, have no Irish accent, just because they may have had an obscure granddad or grandmother. In that case it makes me Irish. No wonder International Football is such a joke.We've had our golden generation in the late 90s
A nation of 4 million ffs
Surely everyone knows how corrupt and inept the FAI must be
They've on the ball about signing up young players with Irish heritage right? Like Declan Rice and that Villa kid fml
Incredible some of the miserable responses from people in this thread
Doesn't make them Irish how ever you like to put it.How is a grandad or grandmother obscure? Ffs
Doesn't make them Irish how ever you like to put it.
Whatever you say.Doesn't make them Irish how ever you like to put it.
Yeah, it just causes arguments and falling outs however in Roys mind, he probably thought they were a bit soft and needed the proverbial kick up the ass. It probably would’ve worked with a young Darren Fletcher though.If the whole thing is true, honestly, what did Keano try to achieve there by going to a player, asking him when he's going to train and calling him cnuts and pricks? I mean what's the point?
I'm sure your grandparents would be delighted to see how little importance you attach to their position in the family and to the possibility that their history could have any significance to you or your siblings.You mean ones who have never lived in Ireland all their lives, have no Irish accent, just because they may have had an obscure granddad or grandmother.

Yea Guardiola also got played off the park by Georgia and Moldova. fecking moron. Shit straw mans to defend him like always. There is a large in between from Guardiola to setting up a team of PL players to get played off the park and make an MLS player look like Messi. There is also a large in between possession football and thr absolute dog shit he serves up. But sure stick with your straw man rhetoric that the only option is Guardiola. We'll be embarrassed in a couple month when the north play us off the park.Completely agree. O'Neill should definitely be sacked and replaced by Guardiola. When Pep missed out on Jorginho it's widely known that his first choice was David Meyler and he's been trying to sign Shane Long for years.
It would be an honour for him to work with this group of Irish players.
Why is it only ever the players who'd get nowhere near the England team that suddenly feel "Irish" when they're 26?Whatever you say.
Why don't you ask them?Why is it only ever the players who'd get nowhere near the England team that suddenly feel "Irish" when they're 26?
No need, I already know the answer. Wales are the worst for it anyway.Why don't you ask them?
Except for it literally makes them Irish citizens.Doesn't make them Irish how ever you like to put it.
Ok.No need, I already know the answer. Wales are the worst for it anyway.
Why?No need, I already know the answer. Wales are the worst for it anyway.
As in they take more English born players than Ireland do.Why?
Oh right.As in they take more English born players than Ireland do.
So it only matters once they're 26? It's blatantly obvious that players who either think they wont make the England team in the future or already know they wont, switch to another of the home nations. Often after numerous appearances at youth level for England.Oh right.
Who has started playing for them since they turned 26?
I don't know why it matters.... you said it?So it only matters once they're 26?

Nah, any good? Did Poland deserve the draw?Scintillating stuff, lads. Anyone watch the game?
Ah they probably did. Just nice to get back to 11 lads bursting themselves and being dour and hard to beat. Who knew you could miss that? O'Dowda did well, always looking forward, you could see the goal meant a lot to O'Brien. Pity they managed to equalise.Nah, any good? Did Poland deserve the draw?
Wonder if Keane's rant had an (unintended) effect on them?Ah they probably did. Just nice to get back to 11 lads bursting themselves and being dour and hard to beat. Who knew you could miss that?

I'm sure it had no impact whatsoever. Most of those lads just delighted to pull on the jersey.Wonder if Keane's rant had an (unintended) effect on them?
I don't like losing but I'm always "ok" if the players of my club/country put the effort in.
