Redcar Rioja

Thought Albania were half decent tonight. Gone are the days when footballing no marks are cannon fodder. Some of their play and composure was excellent.

Beats Tom Jones sex bomb 🤣

Imagine coming up with a song for Rydstrom!

Their time wasting was what bit them on the backside and deservedly so. I thought the Ref handled the game pretty well although he should have issued a second yellow for time wasting at the end but instead added the time on which as it turned out was the greater punishment. One of those games that reinforces why we love football so much. Just hope there's enough Guinness in Ireland tonight and hopefully Employers will be lenient when half the staff don't turn up tomorrow.

Fairy tale finish if ever there was one. Hungary much the prettier side but Irish sheer bloody mindedness wasn't going to be bettered.

I just hope they make the right decision and not one that makes me vomit expletives. If true I'm surprised that GON has even been interviewed.

Prime Carrickball was great to watch but I have better bladder control than Carrick had in the 2nd half of too many games as time went on. Had he been able (or more likely willing) to adapt and change tactics to match his opposite number he would still have been here and we would probably have been in the Premiership. Edwards stoic defence was a great relief after watching us prat around at the back and create or own problems in doing so, but like Carrick he had his flaws. Whilst Carrick would never change and waited until the 60th minute to make a seemingly reluctant sub, Edwards had himself in such a mess at times that he was throwing on 4 or 5 subs at a time, not good and not clever. They both had their strengths and both had their weaknesses. Neither were useless but neither were perfect. It looked to me however that Edwards over the last 6 or 7 games or so was starting to get sussed in much the same way that Carrick had been rumbled, albeit it took a lot longer and until Coventry in the Play Offs to really hit home with Carrick.

I don't want success at any price. It's possible to be successful and to achieve and fulfil objectives while retaining standards. I don't want O'Neil, Gerrard or Carrick but out of the three I'd choose Carrick 100 times before the other two. The likelihood of success between all three doesn't differ greatly in my mind but I'd rather not associate with the other two or be associated in any way, even just as a supporter of the Club. Like in any Industry an employer should do a thorough background check on any potential future employees, especially ones in key positions so the reputation of the business and operating efficiency doesn't become compromised by something that later shows up, placing them in an entirely avoidable scenario.

Yep

Think you need to do a little due diligence here on his family associations or maybe you already have and don't have a problem with certain fraternity.

Well as good Christian folk we have long memories and revel in a good crucifixion from a few thousand years ago so if he applies in 4025 he might have a chance.

The Club can do without the media Circus plus we have enough issues in the area of our own without encouraging individuals who most of us wouldn't wish to come into contact with following him and his family up here.

Hope it is 😂

Which Adi?

I just hope whoever we appoint doesn't come with baggage, I want full focus on getting us promoted with nothing going on behind the scenes. There have been a few Clubs that have had relative success with foreign managers and I'd hope we can pluck one from somewhere in much the same way we did Karanka, albeit hopefully with a bit more flair out on the oitch.
