FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Itchy]

Are we still convincing ourselves that Kenny is the most promising Irish manager of the last 20 years?

no goals in 5 games, very few chances created. But some would tell you it's going in right direction.

Are you admitting that Kenny is as shit as the rest of them? Cause when I read the paper or listen to the sports broadcast you'd think he was shankly reborn.

I think Kenny will get the team to play football and beat teams that are not as good as us. Tonight we played a team with players miles better than ours. I'm not sure what the FAI are at taking such a game. We hoped for a miracle but the truth is there has never been a bigger gap in the quality of irelands players and England's players. I would rather that than the shite O Neill had us playing with better players. If you'd rather we played shite football and still lose then that's fine.

Tonight I was impressed with Hendrick (clearly our mom in my opinion), horgan has about 30 minutes of intensity in him and it fizzles out. Idah did well considering his age and experience. So while I hate losing to England I thinking moaning about Kenny is beyond stupid.

I was never convinced by the appointment of Kenny and he's done nothing to change my mind, it's actually worse than I thought it would be.
NI, Scotland and Wales fans have a connection with their team at the minute, we have nothing. Hardly any player even bothered singing the national anthem ffs

Yeah I totally agree. Out of his depth.

I could accept an argument that Kenny was trying to get us to play football more if we were scoring goals and shipping them at the back but we're not. If we were playing football we'd be scoring goals. We are clearly not.

I know. Benny said 1985 was the last time England won and you said it was you that said that, but you didn't, you said 1980.

It was me who said it was 1980. You said it was 1985. I'm right that I said it was 1980.

Benny said 1985, and you said that's what I said, but you didn't say that, you said 1980.

I didn't. I said that I said it was 1980.

No you didn't.


"-1980 the last time they bate us. 1957 before that. This is historic.

-1985 was the last time England won.

-That's what I said. "

You're saying to Benny that what u said was 1985 was the last time England won, but u didnt say that, you said 1980.

But I said it was 1980. It was him who said it was 1985. Get your facts right.

Yes, Ireland dont have natural goalscorers, great wingers, great crossers or passers. So where are the goals going to come from? Normally it's set pieces (mainly Duffy). So find a big glipe and throw it up to him. Who gives a shite what it looks like, as long as it gets results. Or goals for that matter!

Because it is. At least we went out fighting and conceded 3 set pieces. I shudder to think how McCarthy would have set us up for that. The football is infinitely better to watch, which we asked for, and a clear system is emerging. He has also had extremely bad luck on the Covid front.

McCarthy took 8 games for his first win. Charlton took 6.

I know you said that. Yet you told him you already said that to his statement of England last having won in 1985, which you didnt say. Ive spelt it out for you enough.

Because its not 1970. Center halves are bigger now. The last 3 managers couldn't find that lump and thats how they played.

Its time to link up soccer. Nobody plays long ball in Ireland anymore but suddenly they need to learn it for the national side? Kenny is a reformer. These players played fluid passing soccer until they moved to England. They didn't forget it.

You need to go back and re-read what O'Neill said, it's pretty clear that he said 1980 unless you're completely blind
