Looked like Martin Russell would be getting this for a while, good news for UCD fans, maybe not so good news for the people in the u-18/19 squad. He sounds ambitious though, will be interesting to see how he does.

A manager in the Trapatoni mould.

Yawn though.

Why?

With Kinger at under 21 all we need is Kerr back in the hotseat and it's generic Dublin/LoI accents all the way.

Because Paul Doolin is an awful, awful manager. All you have to do is look at his job with UCD which is kind of like this new job in regards the age of players and he jumped ship on them after he'd put them bottom by 10 points I think.

Ridiculous appointment.

I think he did a good enough job down in UCD. Think it was the manner of his jumping ship that peeved the fans.

I'm really surprised and disappointed at this appointment to be honest. I genuinely thought the youth plan from the bottom up was moving away from this type of "coach".

Then manner with which he left spoke volumes of his character if you're asking me. But I would be quite biased on the topic obviously. I think Mahon (and now Russell) have developed an overall structure that is significantly more stable as well - while matching on pitch performances and results.

This shows how much the FAI care about the future of Irish soccer.

He did well at Drogheda, but he had relative fortunes to spend and the football they played was dire.
