American Murph has always mixed politics in with his limited sports reporting in the US years before Trump was president. As a SF based reporter, Kaepernick taking the knee in 2016 & his subsequent black balling by NFL was massive political & sporting news. Same with BLM matter & this year's NBA play-off strike in Florida. No matter how much you may hate it, sports & politics in the US are intertwined.

In management he always scouted Irish talent extensively and tried to get lads to declare for Ireland even when he wasn’t the Irish manager. Of the present squad He took David Mcgoldrick off the scrap heap and Matt Doherty from laying carpet and playing for Bohs. But mick points out that we score goals from crosses more than other teams and now he should **** off. Call me old fashioned but I really think that’s poor.

It's similar to the bootlickers in grassroots organizations saying John Delaney was great because he gave them a grant for their new ground.

boccy23 wrote: » No way. I can't agree with you there. He is commenting on Mick's analysis of Stephen Kenny's Ireland and not on Mick McCarthy in general. Mick being in the position of casting his observations untethered is a ridiculous situation. Great for Sky though as it will continue to attract viewers to see what other nuggets of "I wouldn't have done that" to "crosses are what we score from" Mick will come out with tonight.

boccy23 wrote: » Its all in what he is saying. He's not analysing what Stephen Kenny is doing or trying to do. He is looking at individual players, where he used them, how effective they were before etc. etc. But he is not providing cogent analysis of what's happening in the current game.

srfc d16 wrote: » He certainly made sure to claim his "loyalty" bonus for finishing his contract while colleagues were being laid off. He has a far too cosy relationship with the media and very rarely had any negative press in comparison to what was done on the pitch. The way they always called him Mick as opposed to O'Neill, or Kenny prior and after shows the relationship is different and in my opinion unprofessional but that's the journalists fault rather than his. He was, for some strange reason, also due a bonus if we qualified for the euros despite failing in the qualifiers. O'Neill's nations league got us the playoff v Slovakia and Kenny managed that match. Do you think his loyalty would have extended to waiving that payment?

It's a bit greasy, come on. Did he really need that pay day that badly. Critiquing the efforts of your successor in the job - it appears to lack class from where I'm sitting. You seem to be of the opinion that McCarthy is above criticism, which is a pretty Orwellian notion in and of itself.

Renegadema wrote: » So we tell the guy to fcuk off. Unfortunately a contract is a contract even an insane one like Mick, Robbie Keane and indeed Kenny have been offered. I’m reminded looking at Irish fans on social media of the last line in Animal Farm. We are turning into england fans.
