Kerr was let down by his players, for definite, but he has to carry the can for the fatalistic, spiritless way we played in the latter half of that campaign. We may have been unlucky with Israel at home but we didn't deserve to win in Tel Aviv and were very lucky not to lose to Cyprus and Switzerland and finish in an even worse position.
Ah looking back if id have known what was coming id have kept him on for the last 12 years but at the time he had to go, they were an absolute shambles in that last game against a very poor swiss side. They should have beaten france away aswell they played well in that fuckin o shea missed a sitter.
i think brian kerr didnt do too badly as manager went 30 games unbeaten including friendlies against the likes of brazil , portugal , holland etc. after we didnt get to the world cup in 2006 he was sacked straight away without another shot at least we played with freedom and had andy reid picking out great passes into keano no negativity and it worked.
The team was a disgrace, Shay Given was fantastic though, then, like today, has kept us in it time and time again. If anyone deserved to go to the World Cup it was him. He did us proud.
He´s just been appointed as the new national coach of Faroe today. Seems like a nice guy, but we don´t need more nice people in the Faroe´s. We need a bull dog of a coach! Hopefully he can prove us all wrong! ;-p
I know it was quite mad wasn't it, But Kerr shot himself in the foot by not doing interviews etc and been bitter also as the lads stated they couldn't see what way he wanted to play,had me confused too. The whole negativeness of those 2 Israel games really wreck my head though, we threw them away 1-0 up away until the 92nd min and 2-0 up at home and O'Shea fucks it up, WIN THOSE GAMES AND WE ARE IN WORLD CUP 2006!!
correct, I’m not..but it’s not just his accent..it’s just hubris & bluster with him but I can see how he got jobs in football - it’s because he just never stops talking..& people conclude (wrongly obviously imo) that he knows what he’s talking about I believe he has absolutely no clue what he’s talking about
he talks about football teams as though they’re a machine that isn’t working quite as well as it could..have you ever noticed how whenever something exciting happens in a match he has to shut the hell up and let the other commentator do the yammering..he just moans & groans the whole time plus towards the end of his tenure as national gaffer he appeals to the irish fans to’ make as much as much noise as they possibly can ‘ to encourage the team when they already had 100% backing of the supporters that’s known as ‘clutching at straws’
Giles was very unfair to Kerrs achievement at underage ..which was absolutely incredible for such a small nation...

brady wasn't happy with that question at the end, i say bill got a backlash after the show
Best Irish manager never got a fair chance at it
John Smith not true we threw away twice against israel unforgivable he was too defence good manager but way conservative and analytical
Very true I love Brian but complete fcuked up an easy qualification

You can tell Brady was pissed off after that last question. I'd say words were exchanged afterwards, lol.

Khalabib The BusWanker Nurmagomedov Did we not finish 4th in our qualifying group though? That's not really acceptable.
only thing i worry is that trapattoni will be too negative too!
Love to see Eamo as manager..
Wouldn't be fit to tie his shoelaces let alone manage Ireland.
@@ThisIsMyRodrick that's a bit harsh in all fairness LoL 😂
@@ThisIsMyRodrick you do it it keyboard warrior
@@seanbonella I am no keyboard warrior. I am happy with Kenny.
@@ThisIsMyRodrick any ape can manage Ireland team..no one expects them to win any game because they are all morons that can't play.

Ah, well. At least the FAI will appoint a top manager to replace Brian Kerr.
hopefully we Trappatoni can lead us to South Africa, would ya go if we got into the world cup man?
Kerr the only one doing the good analysis now
Better interview than noel King

just wasn't meant to be....spec after the Isreal match
ye should have played mcGeady
The teams was fairly crappy back then. kerr worked with what he had and did okay but he is better off fishing in the faroes
John Giles looks like my nan
Bet he don't look like her now!!
Yeah
Inappropriate question
how tf does brian kerr have any standing as a commentator/pundit? his accent alone is sheer torture
Obviously you’re not from Dublin so
correct, I’m not..but it’s not just his accent..it’s just hubris & bluster with him but I can see how he got jobs in football - it’s because he just never stops talking..& people conclude (wrongly obviously imo) that he knows what he’s talking about

plus towards the end of his tenure as national gaffer he appeals to the irish fans to’ make as much as much noise as they possibly can ‘ to encourage the team when they already had 100% backing of the supporters
that’s known as ‘clutching at straws’
