Callum Gilhooley Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Dunfermline flop Stephen Kenny again proves he’s out of his depth when he tries to manage at a higher level than LOI. Guys a rocket ! Thank god we didn’t appoint this guy as some on here wanted. His latest defeat to 16th Paisley Girl Guides surely has to signal the end for him.

Bud the Baker Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 IIRC only one person he-who-must-not-be-named wanted Kenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenziebud Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Do you really need a manager to beat Luxembourg at home ? I get the point about Kenny being out of his depth at international level but surely at some point the blame must lie on the players ?

I would suggest the players should carry the blame of this result. ROI are currently 42nd in the world, Luxembourg are 98th Could be many reasons, massively underestimating the opposition could have come from the manager but when the whistle blows it's down to the 11 guys on the pitch.

Callum Gilhooley Posted March 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 10 games . No wins, three goals scored in total . Haven’t managed a single goal in four home games since Kenny took charge. Taxi 🚕 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be an idea to post the teams they have played in these 10 games as your posts could be seen as very one sided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem . Finland Twice . Ranked 13 places below them . Two defeats - No goals Bulgaria Twice . Ranked 26 places below them . Two draws - one goal Luxembourg. Ranked 56 places below them . Home defeat - no goals. England and Wales - two top 20 teams . Two defeats one draw - No goals Serbia - 14 places above them - Defeat ..... but at least scored 2 goals Slovakia - 6 places above them . Draw ... Nae goals . So , in summary, the lost the games they may well have been expected to lose, couldn’t beat any of the teams around about them in the middle rankings and got beat by a country who have just about managed top 100 ranking and with a population half of That of Dublin. Not great no matter how you look at it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted March 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 And as for being one sided ? Yes of course it is. I think and have always thought that Kenny was a donkey as an a manager, a bit of a joke figure if you will. Was found wanting at SPL level , now getting found out at this level also. Now if you want , you can put forward the case for the defence 😉 If Dicko is still hiding in the wings, perhaps he might want to help the cause 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Kenny is shite at any level above LOI. He was doing OK with the U21 national team, and they bumped him up to the big team. The FAI's treatment of Mick McCarthy has come back to bite them on the arse. Hell mend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think Ireland are just going through a phase now like the one we went through when Broon handed over to Berti. Any decent players they have are getting over the hill and there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of young talent coming through. They certainly don’t seem to have a McFadden or a Fletcher like we did to give at least some level of optimism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
