Reply | Everything against us yet the B Team do an A team
at 20:50 13 Jan 2024
A timely and welcome slap in the stones for Leeds, Soton and others in the peloton. We’ve walked through the valley. A kind of Spartan Stubbornness. And ability. And a manager who knows his onions. And unity.
It will be interesting to see what happens transfer wise. We’ll be patient and resilient. As we are on the field of play.
We went one down. Good strike for them by a good player. Thought they had a few. A reactionary thread appeared here on the blue Clarke after the makem Clarke scored. Hopefully the learned poster will accept what is set in stone - that our players react with resolve and trust in each other, the manager and system. And can be trusted. I uttered a cupla focail myself when they went in front but still I knew we would come back and win.
Brace yourselves Leicester. |

I thought we were a little fortunate not to be facing a greater deficit at leathama (half time).
Thought they could hurt us.
A point is a relief, and a display of our resolve. It would have been a bitter pill to come away with zip. There was this race horse once. He was called Refuse to Bend. That’s us.
January looms. We’re still in this. Big time. |

I think a chance to build an Irish team around Evan Ferguson and have a go at qualifying for a World Cup would be quite appealing to him. In fact, I’m pretty damn sure of it.
Maybe looking at this though an English lens is somewhat different to looking at it from an Irish lens? I can readily understand why he would go for it - if it came his way.
Certainly the better we (ITFC hat now on) do at club level, the more interest he will attract. Slings and arrows etc.
Nothing imminent of course, but if the FAI know their brief (certainly not something to be counted on), McKenna will be on their list. [Post edited 12 Sep 2023 19:18]

A lot of good young prospects and Ireland’s demise on the international stage might prompt McKenna to accept. A chance to change our fortunes. In addition to undying adulation that will accompany success, and job security!
Results have been quite poor for Kenny who is, quite frankly, out of his depth. FAI have stuck with him whilst me and my ilk have endured him. That party is now almost certainly over.
That said, I’d be surprised if Kenny gets the bullet before March 2024. It’s now down to time. Carsley will obviously be the target but issues might arise when things like back room staff etc come into play.
McKenna would s great fit for the Irish job and it is quite clearly a job that would interest him. |

Reply | McKenna could potentially be one of our best ever managers

I'm not sure about ranking as an exercise - probably more of a subjective thing and each person might add different weight to different variables given changes in the game and at our club over the years. Each to their own in that regard, I guess.
McKenna is a really good fit for us now and long may it continue.
I wonder how he would feel if FAI came knocking? McKenna is head and shoulders above Kenny (the present Irish manager) and that's an easy call to make. Thankfully those running the FAI are not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier. |

"Wall, what wall,"? I can imagine that with a soft southern Kerry/Cork accent.
Incidentally, I have it on good authority that on their first night in the cells, whilst Mick was sound asleep and Paddy was pacing pensively, a robust female Chinese prison guard knocked on the door and offered Paddy "the super sex". She had taken something of a shine to him.
"You want the super sex?" she said alluringly? -
"I'll have the soup" he said. |
