FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[general_lee]

What way are the U21s shaping up?

[themac_23]

making the same mistakes again, given away chances by trying to play out from the back, imagine we made these mistakes against a decent side

[BennyCake]

That's a silly comparison

Ferguson already had success with Aberdeen, winning leagues and Scot Cups and the Euro cup winners cup, beating Real Madrid in the final I think it was.

What did Pat Kenny win before taking the Ireland job? But sure maybe if Ireland stick with him, he'll win the World Cup 

No the bit in bold is utterly stupid, no manager anywhere can deliver that.

You dont think Stephen Kenny was successful? (more snobbery calling him by a wrong name), Do you feel good about acting which such snobbery to an Irishman. You are no better than a British Tory behaving like that.

Get off your high horse there itchy.

It was the previous post I was replying to, saying it was silly comparing Kenny to Ferguson. I've nothing against Kenny, but it's the clearly deluded people talking about how great he is and how well he's doing. What is it now? No goals in 7 games? Yeah, he's doing great.

I'm willing to be proved wrong, but I thought he was a very underwhelming appointment, and I see nothing yet to suggest anything other than that.

Kenny win Leagues snd Cups and had huge European success too.

This can bow reasonably be described as anti Irish now

Biggest mistake of all is using the same tactics that has resulted in zero shots on target in that 1st half.

No one wants him sacked tomorrow, but things aren't rosy out on the pitch. It's a results business come qualifier-time.

Aye, anti Irish because I think the job is too big for a man 

Was Kenny beating Real Madrid in European finals? Or breaking the long Rangers/Celtic domination in Scotland? The answer would be no.

What's the next accusation for me then?

[general_lee]

Awful to watch

[Itchy]

For f**k sake look at the team he has this eve, what are you expecting. Half them probably never met each other before yesterday

[An Watcher]

Exactly, give the fella a break. New man comes in, long ball football, this is awful, get someone in to knock it about

[up the rovers]

This match is so bad it is strangely compelling  . Both teams are so bad that i keep expecting one of them to do something awfully stupid to give away a goal. So far Darren Randolph has come closest!

[Captain Obvious]

The only positive to take out of that is a draw avoided bottom place in the group.   

7 games in a row without a goal and a first time to go a calender year without a win since 1971 says SKY.  Brady had a decent pop shot that came off the crossbar in one of the dullest games I have ever watched.

[dublin7]

At least Ireland didn't lose, but they'll only be 3rd seeds for the world cup draw. Needed to win to get drawn as second seeds.

Does anybody know any genealogy experts with time on their hands during lockdown that could look up family histories for strikers playing in the UK and find an Irish granny or grandad. It's looking like the only way might find someone to play for us who can score a goal.

[macdanger2]

Very poor but it was a cobbled together team in fairness. Jason Knight MOTM for me

[up the rovers]

Out of curiosity, that's 11 hours without a goal. Have you or anyone you know sat through all 11 hours? If you have fair play that is serious commitment. Plus you need your head looking at
