What's the point in that? I honestly would rather try and play ball like we are doing now and just see what happens, sooner or later we'll be a decent team. 
I am enjoying Kenny's reign more than anything since probably 2002. 


Eventually,  we'll need results.  And that means finishing above decent sides in a 10 game group. That kind of result eventually requires some form of pragmatism. 

I'm enjoying segments of our play.

I'm not enjoying the results.

4 points from 5 games. Hes very lucky to have a side as weak as Armenia. We could be staring at relegation otherwise.

Not really the time or place but Michael O'Neil is available. 

I don't like the guy but if push comes to shove I'd consider him a prudent appointment. 

Win against Armenia is a must. Somehow balls that up and, again, questions will have to be asked.

All of that is bang-on tbh.

I'm torn.

I see genuine improvements. I love the zip in or play. The energy. The movement. 

But its a results business.

6 wins from 27 games is very bad. Even allowing for everything. 

And generally handy ish games too.

He has potentially done as much good as he can do in that he has built a side.

I think we need a more pragmatic tactically astute manager.

No secret, I've long wanted Hughton.

There are some utter whoppers on here to be posting pathetic gifs and telling people to f*ck themselves because they've mentioned one of the best Irish managers of the past 20 years potentially managing the national side. 

Some proper losers.

Don't know what to think 

Good performance yes but not getting the results and now in danger of been relegated. Already up against it before the draw for Euros as the option of the backup of the playoffs is gone for us 

Suppose we have to remember we were due to be in League C for this campaign until they changed it

Yes he may bring stability and Trap type of team but who f*cking wants that again? We don't have any top players and it's unlikely we will have any, any time soon, so Kennyball for me is our best option right now. 
Will we ever get an Alaba or Odegaard or Hamsik, like other small countries have? Who was the last top player we had?

Obafemi maybe could get a bit better I hope

Smallbone, Idah, Connolly, maybe Festy

Just to add also, this is a young team that is going to improve, ffs we had 7 starters under 23 tonight and people are banging on about consistency. Kenny has assembled a really good young group of lads, results will fluctuate as they settle into international football, but anyone advocating his dismissal for Chris f**king Hughton has to be on smack! Especially after a performance like that. Go have a lie down!

Real sickening feeling watch that game unfold. 

Collins and Obafemi were our best players. Doherty (goal aside) looked very sharp which is great to see. 
I've no idea what Browne was doing for the peno, really weird goal. 
Parrott has two big moments in the game and fails with them both. Played well otherwise. 
Ogbene looked sharp when he came on, used the ball cleverly which he hasn't done as much in other games. 
It would damage this forums' reputation

Was a top manager. If we replace Kenny, I'd prefer we go with someone more modern

In a general sense I would much rather be at the Euros playing pragmatic stuff rather than at home enjoying a moral victory for achieving good possession stats.
Walters coming back from an offside position but Shane Long was definitely onside- Shane Lonnggggggg.... has done it!!!!

some embarassing nonsense written here.

kenny has done a great job and finally has us playing some high quality football

it would be a terrible mistake to throw that all away now

fat sam would set us back 10 years.

Ah come on, thats a sh*t take tbh, a scots team that just spanked Ukraine with 2 PL midfielders and the Scots poty vs our 2 Ch'ship lads and a L1 fella. They were blessed. Parrott not squaring the ball to Knight, the Doherty chance, he f**king Parrott miss! I'd love to see the xg for the game!

None of this 'Premier League' midfielder nonsense means anything.

Next season it's likely that at least one if not two out of Cullen, Molumby and Knight will be 'PL' players, it won't improve them over night.

 Yeah, mc tominay, mc ginn and mc gregor are sh*t, so they are!

Agreed. I don't even think the FAI are stupid enough to hire Hughton or Big Sam at this stage.

He’s such a top manager he’s currently unemployed for 12 months after being sacked by Nottingham Forrest when they were bottom of the championship. Nottingham Forrest who now play in the premier league LOL

He has 6 wins from 27 games.

The only embarrassing comment is yours claiming he has done a great job. It's a results business. At some point he has to get them. This moral victory sh*te cannot go on indefinitely.
