Kenny was on €520,000 but they have upped the salary to €700,000 for the new man. But apparently  still well below championship salaries, albeit surely far less work.

Looks like they are doing their best to secure Carsley and the sticking point is the salaries of his staff. Rumour that if they can't get him, they'll stick in John O'Shea as temp manager with Anthony Barry taking over in the summer when he's finished with Bayern and Portugal.

Andreas Brehme, German player who scored the winning goal in the 1990 WC final

Brehme scored that penalty with his right foot, after scoring a free kick with his left in the semi v England.

The only player in World Cup history to score in penalty shootouts with both right foot and left foot. He said his left foot had more power and his right foot was more accurate

Shocking that no Tyrone player would take responsibility and shoot for an equaliser.

Looking at it again, it seems they were waiting for Morgan to come up to take it on!
In fairness, it's probably difficult for players to know exactly where they were on the 4 mins added time

Why was Sean Kelly's point not allowed at the end?

Too many Tyrone lads turned down the chance to kick a point at the end. Can't expect the ref to allow play to keep going. Played an extra 45 seconds and the only stoppage that time could be added on for was a substitution

Think he hand passed it into the net?

Oh, I thought it went over. That explains it!  Cheers

Ah sure Putin's a great fella according to Daly, Wallace and the Grayzone zombies on here.

Liel Abada could leave on loan as the Israel winger "does not feel quite right or ready" to play for Celtic.

Roscommon black card - correct call
Tyrone red card - incorrect call
Roscommon square ball - incorrect call

Both teams very good at pretending to be injured when there was nothing wrong with them. 

Well done Monaghan.

Surprised at the strength of the Dublin team and the workrate and desire shown for a league game in January. Performance wasn't up to a whole heap, but we're in good shape overall.

I think Keano was more talking about being a number 2.

Haven't verified it, but I've seen it said a few times that Lennon's record in Europe with Celtic is better than Rodgers and Ange. So that's a positive for him.

Carsley would be a bit of a leap into the unknown, which hasn't really worked before with Staunton, Kerr, Kenny. But still I think I'd go with him.

Ian Bailey, the suspect in the Sophie Toscan du Plantiers death in Cork, has died aged 66

Found guilty of murder in a french court

With no defence. That was a prelim verdict pending a full trial, and in reality meaningless.

There are two excellent documentaries (one by Jim Sheridan and one on Netflix) both supposedly independent, but one more preferential to Bailey and the other very much less so. Clear from both though that the French 'trial' was an absolute sham.

He chose not to attend and defend himself.

As any rational person obtaining legal advice would have done. There is a huge amount of information and analysis out there for people to make up their minds. The French decision is utterly irrelevant. It didn't even pretend to be fair.

Or to put it another way, anyone who uses the French court decision to sway their opinion is very ill informed.

Indeed, we should take the legal opinion of "Hound" on the GAAboard forum over the legal process in France. Got it.

Well I didn't say he was innocent or guilty. Because I dont know. I do know the French court was a complete sham.

The French judgement is, not exactly the same, but very similar to a Grand Jury in the US. The 'guilty' verdict was only really that he had a case to answer. If he did (which would be insane) volunteer to go to France, he would face another trial. The first sham trial would be rendered meaningless.

As I said, there is a huge amount of information out there, in particular the two documetaries (and you really need to watch both to get a proper view).   But anyone taking their view from the French case is very much ill informed.

City won't drop a point before March. It's fecking years since we beat Chelsea (apart from on penos) so that won't change. But we're playing better now than we have been all season, so we'll likely make Ciry earn it.

Hopefully Arsenal spend massive on Solanke. Leading goalscorer, he's exactly what they need

Good win against a team in good form.

Absolutely cast iron pen not given to Jota when we were only 1 up and I thought that would come back to bite,  but they dug it out.

Very good performances and finishes from Jota and Darwin. It took us a while to get going, but during that period MacAllister was our driving force, one of his best games for us I thought. Konate playing really well, but if that was an injury he suffered at the end it could be very costly.

Young Bradley playing terrific, great to see an Irish lad holding his own
