Some thoughts..

(1) Recruitment process was awful
(2) Heimir could be a good choice, we’ve fallen so far that going up the FIFA rankings is our priority & he has done that with Iceland/Jamaica
(3) Ireland fans will give him a chance, he speaks well and will get Irish culture
(4) Keeping some Irish coaches on will help him, good he’s flexible and sees the value in it
(5) Living in Ireland to understand the fans and culture is a good move
(6) Drop the price of Aviva tickets, this team and manager needs a full house to reboot Irish football
(7) Poor from the journos asking him about the women’s team, historic abuse and Duff’s comments on FAI. No problem with the FAI being quizzed on these topics, Heimir’s unveiling is not the time or place. Irish people are more welcoming than that…

Wow the questions, any chance of an actual football question for the new manager lads?

[LOGOS]

The media hacks are like tabloid journalists. They haven't actually got a clue about football.

[seanmcgoldrick]

This appointment has the 80's reaction of Big Jack getting the job. Enough said! Get behind him lads

[MrKiwi]

Media in this country is gone like England. The same media they love to criticise, they're literally as bad.

[tommycostello]

Tell Heimir to come to Cavan - we will make him more welcome than the Dublin media!

[glorytothefans]

Great appointment. Been very critical about the process but all has become clear now and what has been said adds up. Will always be negative critics out there who would moan about anything. Best of luck to Heimir and i believe the good times are up ahead. The moaners can stay at home if they want. BTW Damien Duff is a disgrace.

[koboxing]

my god yes it's was disgraceful how long the process took but fuck me it's done now . and the media still crying over it instead of asking heimir good question

[Foreverfooty]

Jesus i wouldnt be suprised if he walked in the morning after these questions

[darahdoyle]

Best of luck to him, he's got a difficult task to get our squad of second tier players to qualify for anything. Fingers crossed!

[jackdeegam]

I know the fai are mental but €135 euro for the cheapest ticket against England, someone should be signed in for that

[Ger]

Who believes he was no1 candidate in march?🙈🤣fair play & gud luck to him though, I’m glad they went outside the box besides a tired name of the uk merry go round

[buanobas]

Those journalists are pathetic with some of their questions, woke tabloid hacks...Also, Damien Duff is turning into an unlikeable weirdo.

[DomEireutd]

Jesus the Irish media are brutal! Standard is well below par. You wonder how these lads get their jobs tbh.

[etho]

Two things can be true at once.

1) FAI are a shitshow and always have been.

2) Recruitment for this has been a joke but I like this guy and think his achievements are good. Hopeful for him.

[paddypenman]

Professionalism from the board 😂, please flush that one after you

[lutonnationalist]

So you appoint a guy who failed to win a single point with Jamaica. At this point it's like you want to fail.

[IraS-qb]

Great timing, Jamaica did well, not
