    Much to the surprise of the nation, the FAI have announced dustin the turkey as the new manager, citing huge differences in what can only be described as wage demands from other leading candidates the moguls at the FAI HQ have turned to the nations favourite rogue to turn the fortunes of the team around.

    Dustin will be watching the Brazil game from the directors box this week no doubt taking notes as he beging the impossible task to turn around the fortunes of the Irish team.

    he has yet to announce a assistant manager but pat kenny is bookies favourite.

    you heard it here first!

    I thought he was shortlisted for the man-eurovision song contest. How will he ever have time for both?

    I can agree, theres a good chance of a turkey being appointed though ;)

    He'll want the team to attack from the wings and knock the stuffing out of the oppostion...

    I heared FIFA will object to the appointment as it's promoting fowl play...

    From muppet to puppet.

    That's progress by the FAI.

    This isn't even slightly funny. Unless you are a primary school student, or of that mental age.

    The other candidates rejected the poultry sum on offer, stating they weren't surprised Dustin was the next in line for the job. If you pay chicken-feed, you get turkeys. or chickens. The FAI have hailed the appointment as a major coop.

    Dustin is thought to favour a free-range approach with plenty of wing-play. Hopefully he wont end up with egg on his face.

    The late late show of appointing a manager would be worth it if Dustin and Kenny get it

    Hopefully he'll able to provide the kind of sage advice required for Ireland to start carving other teams apart. Be interesting to see wattle happen.

    Apparently he was chosen because of his left wing views.....and in my opinion he wouldnt be able for the rough and tumble of club football, he'd never survive the difficult christmas period...........................il get me coat:o
