Cult of Stephen Kenny

Do you think we have the quality of players Brighton have to play their system? Welbeck? Mitoma? Dahoud? Gilmour? Estupena? Gross? Fati? Joao Pedro?

Absolutely delusional.

Few decent crosses from McClean? He had 4 in the entire game, only 2 of which were accurate. Laughable.

Get if wide fast, get crosses in, or pull back the ball to runners. Not rocket science.

Well as you say we dont have midfielders so by playing how you suggest it opens us up in the middle to being dominated in there. You've slated Kenny and said hes useless yet named 3 or 4 players that were injured in the last window. So like the last window if those players are missing how and what way should the senior team play? Personally i dont like the 3/5 at the back and i'm disappointed in Kenny for sticking with it for so long when he never used it at club level.

The 2 wingers you names dont start with their clubs, likewise Doherty and Idah is in and out. Maybe looking at it again you see why its been hard for Kenny and will likely be hard for any manager that comes in?

If its not rocket science, why dont you go do a coaching course? Spend 15 - 20 years coaching and then apply for the job and implement your ideas? Oh wait your just a key board warrior ranting about a man with 30 years experience managing players at different levels of the game...

The team was put together in my head on the bus to work. 2 of the 11 were injured. So Idah would start with Szmodics in for Johnson.

It doesn’t matter if players are playing for their clubs if they can put in a shift for Ireland and there isn’t anyone better than them available.

I’ve done plenty of coaching courses. I’ve been into clubs here and abroad for a week or two picking up drills and training techniques and have quite a few contacts in the game, here and abroad. Ive played at a fairly decent level, and have managed, fairly successfully, just below intermediate football for a few seasons up until this year where I’ve taken a break. The last 3 years I’ve had 3 successive promotions and a cup final and left the club significantly higher than they were before I joined up.

You make it sound like football is some extremely difficult sport, where badges and certificates are what makes a manager. Kenny is an absolute dud at international management. Doesn’t matter how many years he has behind him. Doesn’t matter what badges he has. Doesn’t matter what he won at Dundalk. His legacy will be Ireland worst international manager in the next 100+ years. Because I simply cannot see anyone being as bad as he has been, and being allowed 3 years to stink the place out like he has.

dont get your argument about players not starting for their clubs. harry maguire, mctominay, philips and numerous other players dont start for their clubs but play internatinal football regurally. dara a shea starts regurally but was overlooked for duffy who kenny wouldnt touch a while back alos, some of his decisions make no sense.

Rovers have had the the biggest budget, why wouldnt they win the last 3 LOIs.

It’s the same ones that were telling us that we did have the players to play expansive, passing game while we were under O’Neill/Trap/Mick, and that the managers just didn’t trust them, that are telling us we don’t have them now that Kenny has taken over.

Another bad night for the cult who'd give Kenny a ten year extension if they had their way.

Was a clip of them at a training session on the news last night. Players were laughing and having great fun messing around. I thought to myself ye pack of wasters.

BREAKING NEWS: Kenny to quit as he is being lined up by Fossetts!

Ronnie Whelan is being very honest and he’s right.
