      Darragh o mahoney is making the irish football public look like a bunch of muppets. He needs to stop being Devils advocate and say it how it is.stop Arguing with haman Didi is RIGHT.
      Our team has plummeted in the rankings and it's the manager's fault. He's a bluffer

      Shortly, the attendance at the home games will consist only of a splattering of inebriated tragic poets, a contingent of nuns from the order of the Little Sisters of Perpetual Agony, the bloke who stands outside the school, and representation from the Irish BDSM society (the masochistic section) dressed in green gimp suits!

      I look at a lot of prem teams including united who try to play out from the back. They cant do it with a couple of world cup winning CBs, so what chance do these guys have. But in general i dont know why they cant try mix it up…if u keep trying to play it out then its very easy for the opposition! Even if they get it passed the first press, they dont have players to create anyway! So all a bit pointless really.

      This is not a case of having great players, this is purely to do with shitty tactical methods. This manager is hopeless.

      The apologists for Kenny talk about passing football as if he's the one who invented it and the only one in the world that would make Ireland pass. Jesus wept….its not a choice between only Jack Charlton or Kenny…and nothing in between! This same group of players, while not our best crop at all, can do 10x better with a real, authentic, professional-level manager + coaches. Professional means a manager who has experience with top level athletes competing in a fully pro environment. Being paid doesn't make you a professional, nor does managing Dunfermline. Kenny's tenure has been a ridiculous waste of time. Literally any other 'usual suspect' manager would have done better. McCarthy would get more out of this crop…Hughton would…anyone else.
