It's really not. I'd say a large portion of supporters who backed Kenny, which isn't exactly unusual supporting the manager of your team, have seen that it has worked out and wouldn't exactly be putting up a fight for him at this stage. People were hopeful it was a change for the better and hung onto that hope perhaps a little longer than they should of. It's the one up, schoolyard sh1te every post that's tiring. Some have put it very well why they want Kenny gone on their posts, others are just using it as "I told you so" childish muck.

The point about Saudi and us are very valid. Imagine what Argentina would have done to a Kenny led Ireland |

E2016 and YTM, leaving aside whether or not the points you make again and again and again about SK are 100% the truth the way and the light, the constant shoehorning of this into every thread is f*****g tiring. It really is. It's not like this is a percentage game, where the more times you state your absolutist position on this the more likelihood it will be accepted as objective reality by the rest of us, and will spread from us to our partners and friends, and ripple out into wider society ans lo and behold one bright shining day the FAI will be so overwhelmed with this tidal wave of TRUTH that Kenny will be sacked and we can start over at another year zero. It's just not that interesting to most of us, and is spamming at this point.

I think it's possible to be pro Kenny and accept he's a beaten docket it will be time to move on this time next year.
There's not much sense in booting him now but the group will take care of that most likely. My main criticism would be the most recent nations league campaign, he knew going into it how strategically important it was in terms of playoffs, ranking and so on. Losing away to Armenia first match left us in a massive hole, and Kenny's luck ran out with the qualifying draw, he was hoping for a handy group and to sneak second most likely.
Major failures for me: losing 3 nil in Wembley losing the unbeaten record, even if the FAI arranged that fixture. losing to Luxembourg losing to Armenia drawing with Azerbaijan throwing away leads in Serbia, Scotland, Portugal and Ukraine, you can't afford that in international football, even less so as Ireland. pros: blooding players the 0-0 playoff in Slovakia played very well the dead rubbers against Scotland and Portugal Edited by dangere_here - 22 Nov 2022 at 2:46pm |

We seem to have entirely forgotten this. An approach that gives us a clear if unlikely path to a trophy. Greece did it in 2004. It can happen again.

In fairness, we weren’t going to be in the hunt for Euro 2004. We had a decent squad at the time and played a nice brand (under McCarthy). Not as big a myth as the common, and misguided, beliefs around Euro ‘92, but I don’t think there was a path to us winning in 04, had we qualified.

I just thought that given the thread title and the following discussion in this thread - which is in relation to our perceived talent pool and how it makes success either incredibly difficult or an outright impossibility - I thought today's result where Saudi were good value for their win over Argentina due to a superbly executed offside trap, great defensive organisation, aggression and ultimately being excellently coached was a great advertisement for what is possible if we had the right set up behind the scenes. Apologies if the reasoning behind sticking with Kenny becomes more absurd with every passing game that he manages and even ones that dont involve him. I would have thought that the Saudi game and performance today was extremely relevant to us.
