I'm all for making the NL games important so like the sound of this, even if I haven't for a moment considered the ramifications š

Amazing to think that we can qualify despite winning 3 matches out of 12 between the NL and 2020 qualifiers - 2 victories against Gibraltar and one against Georgia. |

Qualifying for a major tournament is supposed to be hard, getting there should be an achievement. UEFA have destroyed their flagship international tournament, possibly deliberately, with this farcical qualifying structure and having 24 teams in the tournament.

The better you perform in the NL can be rewarded with a home draw in a potential play-off semi. A small carrot, but relevant to our current situation. Thinking back to The Old Offenders time and how little they respected the NL. Fail to prepare, Roy...Fail to prepare.

When you see that, plus 7 goals in 8 games, just confirms how awful we were. Kenny could have transformed the squad and probably bettered those results.

On the other hand we only lost 3 of 12. Scotland lost 6 of 14 Iceland lost 7 of 14 Slovakia lost 7 of 12 Hungary lost 6 of 12 Norn Ire lost 7 of 14 Bulgaria lost 5 of 14 Israel lost 7 of 14 I think only Serbia and Norway (2) have less losses than us. |

How would he have transformed the squad? Can you provide examples of players who would have been better served being parachuted straight into this qualifying campaign rather than playing together and developing a winning style and mentality with the 21s?

100% agree. Was asked by I think it was Balls.ie reporter before the New Zealand game whether Troy Parrott should start against Denmark. He seemed surprised by firm "No" And still seemed to be confused with my reply to his follow up question of Why "He's only 17 and hasn't even played senior football for his club bar 60 something minutes in the League Cup

Donāt you realise that Kenny has a magic wand that makes our midfield super and turns piss into lemonade?

We donāt know specifically what players! Because we never give anybody a chance to prove themselves. Why not see how some of the most talented get on. Iām not advocating playing a team of kids. But three or 4 talented players Would have freshened that team up. We would not have done any worse. Here we are now going into playoffs with same problems weāve had for the last 5 or 6 years. Tell me the benefit of playing the same failures over and over again . The dinosaur fans on here will be looking McCarthy kept on if we do qualify regardless of what the u21ās are doing . Do you want to watch that rubbish all your days?

Fair dues on completly avoiding the question. Which 3 or 4 players do you think would have been suited into throwing in to a qualifying campaign with no friendlies beforehand from what had been a massively dysfunctional 21s set up before Kenny took over? What games would you have targeted them getting 'a chance to prove themselves'.

First two games. I donāt know what players would have been a success for sure, but Cullen, Parrott and Connolly were starting to make names for themselves . What I do know for sure is that whelan, hendrick and McLean etc would deliver what they have! Nothing.

As Expected the first 30 minutes of the draw will be a montage of the teams involved
