Two games stand out for me when Kerr was in charge. The away game against Israel and Switzerland at home. We scored early against Israel and sat back and let them come at us. As far as I can remember after we scored(which was early in the game) thenext shot we had on target was after they equalised in the dying minutes.
Israel at home was just one of those games, similar to Liechtenstein, where we just couldn't get the goal needed to win the game.
Switzerland was a disaster of a game where a win would have given us a play off spot and yet we played like we didn't want to lose as opposed to going for the win. A borefest of 90 minutes with barely a shot on target the whole game.
As someone once said Kerr was a great friendly manager as we won far more friendly than competitive games when he was manager.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Bitter, bitter man.
Loves his gargle and loves his fluff.

Shambles of a manager for Ireland when you look at the quality he had at his disposal.
Given his knowledge, experience and dedicated to Irish football, the bigger shambles is him not being involved in Irish football.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Yeah and on another day could so easily have won both. Last minute equalisier out of nowhere in Israel and then a scandalous display cheating by their keeper in the home leg. Replacing Robbie with Graham Kavanagh in the home match probably wasn't the wisest move, but he got incredibly unlucky in fairness.
 
He was shafted by Delaney either way - definitely earned another go at qualification, especially considering who came in after him. Ouch
 
As for punditry, was easily the best co-commentator in the WC.

I'd imagine he probably sees the Loi as something he's done.crediable manager in fairness...alright not pleasing on the eye style wise but should of got longer in charge and even more so when you think of the cabbage that followed him.think I'm right in saying he has the highest win percentage of any ireland manager,plus he did an unbelievable job with the Faroes...good laugh as a pundit to.

Great man. Lives breathes football. Scandalous that he is not involved at some level.

France at home, the lack of tactics & spirit against Switzerland.  Hoofball up to Doherty was the only clear tactic he had.

Kerrs record actually is very good if you look back on it. He was way to conservative which let him down. The 2 games against Isreal ultimately killed him. Could have been so different if we won those games

When you think the FAI sacked him and JD promised us a world class manager and we got Stan instead

Good at analysing games but he just didnt have the reputation or respect from the players to be successful in international management.

His style of play was not easy on the eye though
