    Should never have been put in that position. A complete mess and then hung out to dry. Shocking by the FAI. Stan, a true legend

    He was our “World class” appointment to replace the excellent Brian Kerr. Kerr was not offered a new contract due to a certain striker looking like kerr didnt want him for the next campaign.

    @Trevor Beacom: Staunton refers to us having punched above our weight. Kerr had us playing well and getting better. Would have been interesting to see him (kerr) get an extension
