Bin the whole lot of them (outfield players and manager included) bar Collins, Cullen, Sykes and O'Dowda. Smallbone and Ferguson hopefully have a future in an ireland squad with a competent manager.

You forgot to mention McGrath who you basically said is sh*te. 

I mean he wasn't the worst player tonight... there see I can be nice. He wasn't the creative genius CM billed by irish social media that will unlock defences though lots of dribbling a few feet then passing sidewards.

Well, they're obviously not. If they were they'd be playing League of Ireland or League 2. 

There aren't even any League 1 players in the current squad.

Easy now big man, I’ve been going to Ireland games since 1990 - is that “superficial” enough for you?? Maybe I should’ve been born a decade earlier and been there for some of Eoin Hands reign, too, to make me more staunch in your eyes?

  I was referring to the LOI supporters who have holier-than-thou attitudes and act like anyone who doesn’t go to LOI games is a charlatan who doesn’t deserve an opinion (and don’t embarrass yourself by telling us they don’t exist, please). My county will have a team from next season, and I’ll be looking forward to going along to support them. So, maybe in future ask for clarity about a comment or, alternatively, wind your f**king neck in.

Jamie McGrath was unlucky to be left out of previous squads and should be kept in now and pushing for a start.

I think he just joined the wrong club at the wrong time. Wigan were going well in League 1 and he didn't get in, then the manager decided to mostly stick with the players that got them promoted in the Championship. Has got the boot since of course, but too late for McGrath.

He's a decent player, not entirely sure he suits the Championship, but to be fair the division is getting more technical and less physical than it used to be.

Hendrick's a runner so he suits the Championship. Got a Premier League move off the back of that and did a job at Burnley. Was found out fairly quickly at Newcastle though, even before the Saudis came in.

Friday night merchant?? An absolutely embarassing thing to post on an Irish football forum

He's never managed at a level as good as that tbf so would be a surprise if he did land a job in L2.

The Scottish Premiership is definitely better than League Two.

Based his reign on Scottish 2nd tier seeing as he took them down.

Yeah, but he also reached The Scottish Cup final. 1 win away from being Robert Martínez.

I was actually at that game. Terrible from start to finish from Celtic and would have had no complaints if Dunfermline had won it.

Main memory from the game was I wore a t-shirt and when the sun disappeared behind the stand I was freezing. Nothing else I can really remember it was that bad.

Don’t worry, those gate-keepers will still be telling us that he’s the right man for us, and that we can’t afford anyonr better anyway etc., etc.

Posts like this are why Irish football is crocked, the people who actually invest their time and money in the game here are subjected to pot shots and vilification by those who superficially follow football.

This will be the same post Kenny as it was before him. 


Easy now big man, I’ve been going to Ireland games since 1990 - is that “superficial” enough for you?? Maybe I should’ve been born a decade earlier and been there for some of Eoin Hands reign, too, to make me more staunch in your eyes?

  I was referring to the LOI supporters who have holier than thou attitudes and act like anyone who doesn’t go to LOI games is a charlatan who doesn’t deserve an opinion. My county will have a team from next season, and I’ll be looking forward to going to support them. So, maybe in future ask for clarity about a comment or, alternatively, wind your f**king neck in. 

So what your saying is from next season you'll actually become a stakeholder in Irish football 👍good to hear. If we can convince more people (and we are going by this years attendance) then we'll be one step closer to creating a sustainable football industry in this country. Until we do that, we're going to struggle massively. The PL is no longer a viable pipeline for our players

What I’m saying is that you took a comment out of context and shot your mouth off. If you had any decency, you’d retract that, but quite clearly that’s beyond you, smart man.


Edit* I must credit you, though, with proving the existence of the exact kind of dismissive and sanctimonious gobsh*tes I was talking about. Fair play.

Lol if that's a creative performance then I despair. He didn't do anything the much maligned Hendrick or Hourihane can't do and I think Hourihane is a waste of a shirt generally. Hendrick is pretty meh but is the much better passer of the ball.

Either you didn't watch the game or you closed your eyes everytime he got the ball. Cant take you seriously of you didn't think McGrath played well tonight. Our best player followed by O'Dowda
