Never forget this game;

Have to say this was one of the worst Ireland performances I can remember, I include Stan, MON and SK in that. It was his first game back, but we were so so bad.

Our blushes saved by Darren Randolph that day.

The 2nd Gib game was equally as bad. We needed an OG and a last minute Brady strike to get over the line, we were awful

He made a great save alright but those that were at the game will remember the gale force winds. Was always going to be very difficult to play any type of decent football.

Now that the thread has slowed down a bit, could someone give a factual summary of what's happened. Who was asked to take the job, who said no. 

Every time I log in there's usually 150+ posts and I couldn't be arsed reading through all those pretending to be in the know, just to find the one bit of truth in the thread.

Anyway, a brief summary please, if you could Smile

Canham has been bluffing the whole time.
No one wants the job.
John O'Shea will most likely get the gig.
O'She'a appointment will be dressed up as a successful appointment.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Great summary. Would add:

Expectations have dropped so low that having the O'Shea appointment done and dusted will be viewed as a victory.

I still can’t believe he didn’t have O’Shea tied down before doing that video.

I think he probably tried but O'Shea will know the depth of the sh it he's in fully and will know what a mess the recruitment drive was. I don't get why O'Shea would hang around waiting to be the last person asked, like it seems to be, that doesn't add up.

I think O'Shea might have some demands  / terms of his own at this point and has waited patiently for his moment when he can make them.

Some extra points:

The early contenders such as Coleman and Lennon now look like a great idea

TJ won the war with Borussia (sleeper agent)

TooOldForThis is possibly Jonafan Hill or Mark with a C - Definitely 
TJ won the war with Borussia (sleeper agent) - No decisive outcome.
Time is a flat circle (bring back Mick McCarthy) - This would be a season ticket on the bonfire moment.

Why would you bracket MON with Stan and Kenny? It finished a bit of a damp squib with MON but it’s ridiculous for you to bracket him with Stan and Kenny. Stan and Kenny were an abject failure from start to finish. MON had success, got to Euro 16, did well at the tournament and play off place in the following qualifying campaign. 

Absolutely ridiculous the way some people wipe things from history for reasons only known to themselves.

I put MON in there because he had us playing some of the worst football I have ever seen Ireland play, up there with peak Trap. He did qualify us for Euro 2016, and fair play....but that was the luckiest campaign I can ever remember. The 1-0 win vs Germany where we realistically should have been beaten 6-1. The injury time equaliser at home to Poland as well when we got a chasing for 90 mins. 
We also got Bosnia in the play off, which was the draw from heaven.
We also didn't 'do well' at the tournament. We had the Swedes on the ropes but threw it away. Got an absolute hiding from Belgium and beat a second string Italian team who were already through.

So much wrong with this post, we held our own in Euro 2016. What we'd give to be anywhere near that level now Confused

I know some fans have trouble accepting it but Kenny didn't underperform with the quality of players available so to liken him to Stan is absurd. Staunton by comparison had a great team. 

No non-Irish person would look at our squad and think a 60th Fifa ranking or finishing behind Serbia, Portugal, France, Netherlands and Greece in qualifying is an under performance. 

The entire disconnect of fan expectation versus reality is why this position has been so hard to fill, every potential manager knows that to be considered successful they need to deliver miracles.

Me for one. The past weekend was probably the 1st one in years I didn't actively look for how the Irish players got on in their club games, cos what's the fcukin point

Stan definitely had better players than MON, and MON had better players than Kenny. Kenny still should have done better with the players available to him. I really wanted him to do well, but he failed at the job.
