The last thing we need is to give the Friday night merchants more control

The government gives €20 million a year to greyhound racing. The economic benefits from investment in domestic football have to be of a much greater potential than anything greyhounds can produce.

Don't think there is much evidence for that. It's just the usual stuff Paul Murphy types come out with. Not that I have interest in greyhounds but the money does come back in in direct ways. Irish soccer is a black hole for money in comparison. The League of Ireland needs a total overhaul but the will isn't there. I'm not sure LOI people even want to broaden and grow, given how often they attack every other sport and demographic under the sun.

We are f**ked. We really lack technically gifted leader who can drag the rest of those around him up a few notches like we have had in the past.
Looking down the conveyor belt and it doesn’t look too promising. The Irish-Albanian lads maybe showing the most promise but then also could just be other Parrott’s/Knights that are technically good but have some limitations physically. Too many kids playing different sports for a small nation! Not enough kids playing soccer in the streets. We are doomed

I really don't think that's as big an issue as it's being made out. A lot of our players have physical limitations like you mention. Playing other sports aids that. It doesn't hinder it. There's a whole list of problems bigger than that which all fall under the "Football industry" term that's popular these days. Our facilities are sh*te. 99% of grassroots coaches are unpaid volunteers. I'd agree that kids don't play enough in the streets, but that should be offset by the amount of training they do at clubs, but it's hard to ask unpaid volunteers to do more than they are. Our underage calendar is a mess too, how many games get called off every weekend because of the weather at this time of year. Also, why aren't there more futsal programmes available for kids. It's only when you go to or live in another country that you realise that we've a bizarre relationship with indoor sports in our country. Not just indoor football/futsal, but we should have a big culture of indoor sports, but bizarrely our sporting culture focuses on kids standing outside in sh*te conditions where they get minimal touches of a ball. Kids should be playing on grass for the good months of the year and then moved indoor to play Futsal in the months where it's more likely that games will be cancelled. This can still be done as part of club teams, it's doesn't have to be a separate thing. We've far more issues that could be sorted out internally by the organisation in charge getting their sh*t together than we do from players playing multiple sports.

Kids playing different sports is key for the their development and will be of benefit to them in the long term.
Many successful sports players excelled at different sports. |

It's one of the things that college recruiters in the US look for in potential recruits.

Turns out when you have a manager organising his team well and having them well drilled, anything is possible.
Unfortunately for us, our fella is capable of neither of those things.

Reality hurts? Understandable I suppose when everything you've said on here for 2 years is so absolutely, comically wrong.

Try and enjoy the World Cup and not worry about our issues, thankfully we don’t play for another 4 months. Also, I have never been wrong on anything I have ever posted on this forum.

What age are you, 12? Wether a Kenny fan or not, this childish point scoring spamming on every thread is tiring.

Being real for a second, I dont know how any Ireland fan could have watched that performance and not been extremely frustrated with how we are organised, how we are set up. Its night and day levels of tactical coaching ability.

It's more that a lot of people simply dislike accepting that they were wrong about Kenny.
