keith fucking treacy is everywhere. he was on otb am today too – he is some dose
His reign has been flatter to deceive but results shows he wasn't a international standard manager and has one of the worse records of any ireland manager.
ah lads … give it a break .. call a spade a spade and stop apologising for underperformance
Limited players and limited management
Stark contrast between u21s and seniors similar players different managers.
Kenny and his loi media fanbase need to go we have put up with this long enough.
We are are so poor 😢
Kenny has had total support of the media, the fans and the FAI. A massive cohort even gave him more than 2 years where results where ignored and he has totally wasted it. A manager utterly out of his depth supported by a cohort who, ironically believed he would move the senior team forward but has set it back years.
Scotland, Wales, Finland, Slovakia, the list of teams with players no better than ours is endless, the issue is a manager who is the worst in the history of Irish football, contextually he has wasted the most unquestioned support ever.
For those who say “who else”, it’s a long list but the second the FAI say they are looking you will see a lot of managers come forward. Even ones I would not jump at are better – Chris Hughton, Neil Lennon are better choices than Kenny. But, because the Gavin Cooneys and OTB lads of this world, the FAI will say nothing and will wait for the last minute and will make a balls of it. They should be come out now and say they are in the market and see who comes forward early!
He should never have been given this campaign
Saw Keith Treacy say in another interview yesterday that Damien Duff should get the job. He knows his football clearly 🤡
We were unlikely to finish in the top 2 …but we might have got 2 points from the two home games against France and Holland by parking the bus and been a bit more expansive against the weaker sides…but we sometimes play as if we were Barcelona!
Great content lads
An african talking about irish soccer ?
