FAI...New Manager is Heimir Hallgrimsson

[Blowitupref]

Beaten 2-1 and lucky it wasn't worse.

Armenia to their credit worked harder, were more organised, disciplined in defence, held onto the ball better and played with purpose and passion.

[Sheedy]

That was a complete shambles, a 2-1 defeat flattered us. Midfield was non existent and defence was all over the place.

Find a big galoot and Hoof  the ball up to him. At least that would be some sort  of plan

Ireland don't have  classy passers to split defences.  Go back to Big Jack football.

I have to say I agree with this. We don't have the player profile to play nice football in the middle. I dont think there's anyone that can actually take on and beat a man.

 Playing to our strengths and pragmatism should be the priority. If that means a solid defence and hoofing it up to Ferguson and Idah so be it. The team got absolutely played off the park there. Premiership and championship players should be capable of better.

[Lamps]

Woeful. The uselessness of the FAI comes to the fore again.

We do. They just aren't Cullen and Knight. Neither of whom are almost international standard. The continued inclusion of Doherty is mystyfying. Azaz and Taylor are adding nothing.

What we definitely don't have are route one players.

If we are going to bring on the likes of Phillips of St Mirren then you might as well be playing Devoy or Healy from the LoI.

Too conservative. Too slow. Players too pampered.

Rot started with the bullshit appointment of Kenny. Thought they were too good to employ a Championship manager and cheered on by media assholes like Eamon Sweeney and Ken Earley who wouldn't know a football if it slapped them in the face.

[rodney trotter]

Armenia played some quality defence splitting passes from run of the mill players. The pass that led to the second goal was like vintage Pirlo.

Can't stick with the dentist now as its a battle for 3rd spot.  Can't pay him off either though.

Use the time to sound out possible replacements so that when the campaign ends, someone is ready to step in.  Better that than wasting time.

Who are the options?  John O'Shea although his star has fallen due to his involvement in this campaign, Jimmy mcguinness lol, no clue

He deserved his chance. We need to stop looking to England for band aids. He could only piss with the c**k he had and it showed. The players did actually enjoy playing for him.

Duff. Bradley, but not sure he would touch it.

I think the problem is psychological. Premiership defenders going to jelly. Duff has shown he can mould shite into winners and won't be around them long enough to lose the rag.

Sean Dyche, Duff, Robbie Keane... But manager/players can only do so much. FAI is a shit show, more funding needed underage/council pitches and get a passport officer see who we can steal from the English

Far too many supporters too seemed to get sucked into the Kenny hype even though there was feck all evidence that it would be anything other than an absolute shit show

Robbie Keane won't get a job as a steward. Those bridges are well and truly burned.

The problem is HH's English imports are shite. It's one thing for Charlton to do it when they improved the team. Azaz, Taylor and McAteer featured today and none have brought anything to the party. No point going down that route if they aren't improvements on what is there.

[Capt Pat]

A duffer Robbie Keane double act as joint head coaches would be my choice.

Having said that they won't be doing anything until they find some decent international class midfielders. Currently Cullen is the best of a bad lot.

[Capt Pat]

Taking Ogbene off at halftime didn't help. He was our best player in the past pre injury.
