They're also well up for it when internationals come around, as I say the Irish lads have been treating calls ups like jury data as far back as the Walters vs Keane days. It's hard to blame them but honestly I don't see JOS as having a personality strong enough to build a happy camp, nice guy or not.

I wonder if a deal is already done.
Have you still not appointed a manager? feck me.
Don’t need to, mate. Sheasy’s doing us a mate’s rates deal and his buddy Eggy has a bus licence so that’s another few quid saved.
Imagine the scenes as he repeatedly calls Tony O’Donoghue a twat in the post-match interview.

what the feck who the feck ah here?
All the best to him. I have no idea who he is. Surely some heads in the FAI will roll now.
A dentist who last managed Jamaica.
This Cool Runnings sequel is going to be deadly.

At least he's used to toothless entities.
I think this is all you need to know about him
In the summer of 2016, he cared for a player who had a tooth knocked out at a local women's game he was attending, going on the pitch while the player was knocked unconscious and putting the tooth back in place, and then personally making the necessary tooth repair at a nearby dental office.

Heimir Hallgrímsson was a crucial part in the Icelandic coaching setup during Lagerbacks era for Iceland. He became the head coach after Lars left. He is a very very good motivator and a brilliant reader of the game. He could do a great job with Ireland his work with Iceland was top notch.
Happy with this. It's not O'Shea, Lennon or Mick again for starters.
Got Iceland to Euro 2016 and the 2018 WC too

ah its your man Helmer. Great lad altogether
This is encouraging. I guess.
Puns galore with this appointment.
At least it isn't Craig Bellamy.
Very very left field. Can’t get any worse anyway.
Half expecting this to be your man from Vice who set up the fake restaurant doing another bit and bagging himself the Ireland job.
I just want someone who goes back to using the granny rule and caps a load of Ray Houghton/John Aldridge/Mick McCarthy types. Hell, I’d even accept some Clinton Morrison/Lee Carsley/Matt Holland types. Anything that might improve the viewing we’ve had to endure these last number of years. It hasn’t even resembled professional football at times.
We really are the gift that keeps on giving.
It says a lot that this feels like uplifting news in contrast to the other options we were linked with.
Will he bring the viking clap to Lansdowne?
It’s like pulling teeth watching Ireland so he’ll fit right in
Wahey!
Maybe he will change our fortunes and we will win a plaque!
edit - that's such an odd word. Are there still such things as plaques? They were the third trophy at underage level for us, like the League Cup, or Charity Shield. It feels like I made it up.

Never heard of him. I’m just going to enjoy the Schrodinger’s manager bit now before he manages a game where he might be shit or he might be great.
I can honestly say he’s been my first choice for the job ever since I first heard his name 3 minutes ago.
What are the odds that we have unearthed a gem?
Let’s just say I won’t be ‘avin’ a bang on that.
Football manager isnt even first choice for his Wiki
After all of the chat that we were waiting for the Euros to end to get an out of work manager, we hire the guy who most recently worked as Jamaica manager and a fecking dentist.
Marc Canham is making a late play for entry into the pantheon of great Irish sporting whoppers.

I mean even by our standards, this is a day of days. It took my son 5 minutes to convince me he wasn't taking the piss. You couldn't make this shit up.
