Potter confirmed as Chelsea manager. It gets harder to give a fuck about each one but fair play to him he'll get a great payday when he gets the road in time. Good coach for Brighton, but who knows how anyone will do at Chelsea.

Hopefully Postecoglu won't be swayed by the arcades and the ball of money in Brighton.

Pretty bummed out with the no matches today

And apparently only because they were afraid there could be repeats of the scenes at Tynecastle and Tallaght.

Lads - do ye know of any good websites for match reports/news/analysis of the European leagues incl England. I have a love/hate relationship with the BBC football online coverage. It often irritates me, but I don't know of many other places to check.

Cheers.

Liverool are a fuckin shambles

Ireland have a horrible group for Euro 2024 qualifying. Not a hope.

Only 3 more Chelsea managers until Christmas.

Ireland are doomed in that Euros group. Couldn't be any worse.

Shame for Kenny, there's been an element of naivety there but he's been really unlucky in a lot of other respects and his stint has never really gotten any traction. No getting away from the fact that although the football is easier on the eye the results (Especially against weaker opposition) have been poor. The draw couldn't have been any worse, so I've a feeling he'll be on his way leaving everyone wondering if any genuine progress has been made over the past few campaigns. 

[Emphyrio]

He's had the worst of luck so far, and this draw is about as bad as it could get. You'd feel sorry for him.

[Pagan Saviour]

I genuinely do anyway, there was so much hype around his appointment and we've seen flashes of potential. The away game to Portugal particularly where the team was able to make a decent stab at giving them a game, but the pattern has usually been an embarrassing defeat after a game like that.

I really shudder to think who they'll replace him with after this.

[Emphyrio]

As long as it's not a Big Sam type!

[Pagan Saviour]

I think that's all there is. I remember he was definitely on the last shorlist, Chris Hughton was there too. Grim.

Aye they really do fly through the managers over there. I knew Tommy's card was marked when Boehly cleared out the staff above him.

As for Ireland, they may forget about it and the best we can hope for is to be entertained on our way to not qualifying for yet another tournament. I'm not getting my hopes up in any way this time because it's the hope that kills me in the end
