FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[Aaron Boone]

Ireland in All Black against the All Whites.

Journeyman footballer gets a retirement ball, with a 100 cap legacy somehow safely tucked away.

It's a sorry state of affairs for Irish soccer. It really is.

[Armagh18]

See if every player put as much effort in as James McClean, we wouldn't be worrying about not qualifying for tournaments. A lad who'd put his head where others wouldn't put their boot for the cause.

Happy retirement James McClean and thanks for the memories.

[imtommygunn]

Exactly. I've been going to the Aviva regularly for close to 15 years and have seen some turgid stuff but if even half the rest of the other players showed the same character as him we would be in a much better place. He should be very proud of what he has achieved.

100% agree and f**k the pathetic begrudgers. A great servant.
As for the game, well it's all been said before. Has to be Kenny's last game

[thewobbler]

It's meant to elite level sport fellas. McClean had to work harder because he'd below average technique, and a below average first touch; as such he was rarely in control of the ball. He had to charge around at full tilt with sweat beating out of him as he'd below average pace, and almost no ability to read or take charge of the game.

Some of you would be better off watching dog fighting.

[Blowitupref]

Only drew at home to New Zealand tonight that should be the final game with Stephen Kenny in charge.

Not getting into another pointless row with you, you haven't a clue.

I can only realistically see  Lennon Hughton  or possibly Poyet out  of  that lot. Although anyone of those  is an improvement on Kenny

No harm to him  , but  Kenny  should never have  been there in the first place.  Totally totally out of his  depth.

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Lennon would be even worse than Kenny FFS. Did we all just forget the absolute shambles when he took over from Brendan at Celtic. Anyone else on that list would be a massive improvement on Kenny who quite clearly was out of his depth after about 2 games yet some 3 yrs later is somehow still here.

[Armagh18]

Big Sam would be the man I reckon. Jack Charlton 2.0

[Itchy]

FAI are a shambles, 6.7m in funding paused due to the messing with their CEOs pay. They are a joke shop. So who in their right mind on that list would go near them???

[Milltown Row2]

Ireland needs to work to its strengths, and that's keeping the ball as far away from their own goal for most of the match

Big Sam it is then
