    I don't understand what you mean? Am not having a dig but MON and McCarthy have both proven themselves to be fantastic managers. Whilst am not saying am done with Lennon (yet) I think most would be happy with either or these appointments?

    Some mental posts in here the past few days. Just stick 11 players on the pitch and hope they win ... pure sunday league.

    McCarthy has never been a fantastic manager.

    O’Neill is a dinosaur.

    Fucksake they’ve both been punted from the * Ireland job for not being good enough :giggle1:

    To be honest Mccarthy could possibly steady the ship but not sure anymore than that. MON is more of a dinosaur than the above. Keane, * that.

    Theyre not fantastic managers in the modern game. The times have passed O'Neil by and Mccarthy is on the same path. Mccarthy did a decent job with ireland that focused on results which are all that matters in international football but he wouldn't bring us any further forward in footballing terms.

    it's the small club mentality and the fact we keep appointing people that have previous experience in the club or knows someone that has (Strachans son ffs). This is what has people thinking we are limited to what won't cost us any compensation and can come in with a knowledge of the club already. When neither of these should be factors , only the second should be a plus at most. We should be going out and getting the best guy available to bring us forward as a club.

    I'm unsure about Howe, I don't know why.

    Maybe it's skewed because of Bournemouth getting relegated, but I don't see him improving our defence a single bit if he was manager.

    Think if the board were serious, they'd be able to go a little higher. I couldn't name who though.

    MONs Ireland was the worst football I have ever witnessed.

    I think you are being hard on Big Mick. He left because his contract was up..

    Didnt help that Ireland have the worst squad of players in about 30 years in fairness

    Wasn't it preplanned Kenny would take over Summer 20? Originally planned to take over post euros

    it seems so is our current manager the way it’s going if that’s the case.

    * stevie clark would sort the defence out and get players playing to a system that wins games.

    Eddie Howe will not be manager of Celtic anytine soon, I'd put a hefty wager on that. Think it's a non starter

    It's not even we would be taking the passion out of the equation because we're not even seeing that from Lenny this time. He was never a master technician but you could always count on that fire, he looks devoid of that passion and ideas.

    Yeah but I think Covid * it all up. McCarthy definitely wasnt sacked. The FAI are a mess anything is possible mind.

    I'd agree with that, the passion has gone and with him that becomes a problem. He's always seemed like a motivator than anything else.

    F*ck it was * awful, I remember watching the nations league game v Wales in 2018, gave me a migraine watching that Neanderthal garbage. Mind you it’s the time of game that Duffy thrives in. Lol

    A line up containing the amount of talent and energy we had on display yesterday should have being all over the Sheep from the start.. We didn't start playing until the 2nd half a goal down..

    We should be on it from the start.

    Dreadful stuff but some Ireland fans will point to the fact we beat Germany who were world champions at the time. Its kinda reminds me now of Celtic and lenny when fans say "aye, but we beat Lazio.."

    Difference is Lennon has some great players at his disposal the now and we are playing some terrible football
