    A) We're gonna get battered
    B) We're never qualifying for anything with Kenny
    C) I've accepted A and B so I'm not at all worried / bothered until Kenny leaves lol

    Sadly a good chance A could happen in one or both games. Although our results in the past couple of campaigns against the top teams in the groups have been fairly close actually so maybe not but we will still almost certainly lose both games one way or another.
    I agree with you on B but would say the same with another manager as well. Currently we have a very poor squad from a talent level. Having said that I think we should move on from Kenny once his contract ends next summer. Hopefully when the search for the next Ireland manager begins we will be looking for a forward thinking manager and we do not go backwards.

    It certainly will be a big test of the FAI. It's a massive appointment. Given the state of Irish football in general not just the national team I feel the game is at a crossroads in Ireland. I liked the vision mapped out in the FAI's recently published 15 year strategic plan. The next managerial appointment is a crucial one given the transitional phase the national team is in the midst of and will be for the rest of this decade IMHO right alongside where we are in terms of actually getting any most of or all of the strategic plan accomplished.

    Once the draw was made, let’s be honest there was absolutely 0 chance of qualifying, especially with this group of players. We’ve gave a good account of ourselves though in every game so far, Greece could have been a bit better but they’re a good side.
