Bradwell canary 109 Posted June 12, 2016 ‘Kyle has done some stupid things,’ said O’Neill, ‘but I look for the good in him first. There are things about him still that would drive you mad.''His timekeeping is poor sometimes but when you put him on the training pitch and into matches, he gives you everything he has got. As a manager, there is not much more that you can ask.‘I liked being tested as a player. I was still studying when I was playing so they would make fun of me and call me “Professor” and stuff like that. They would take the p*** out of me for that and I would take the p*** out of them for being thick.‘I learned very quickly as manager of Northern Ireland that I needed to get my best team on the pitch.

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted June 12, 2016 That''s all well and good when you''re meeting up infrequently with the national team and there''s a shortage of viable alternatives, as is the case with NI.He would drive you nuts as a club manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Jenkins 0 Posted June 12, 2016 Yes Fuzzar, I think you''ve hit the nail on the head there. If a manager wants to keep discipline and a tight club squad he cannot allow somebody like Kyle to behave badly and not deal with it.If only he had the grey matter to see that.

sonyc 5,539 Posted June 12, 2016 Yes you get the impression he has a bit of character. You see it even in the warm ups! But I''ll still be rooting for him to score against Poland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted June 12, 2016 9/1 to score the 1st goal tonight and I wouldn''t put it past him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted June 12, 2016 i get the feeling thats what has happened to him here i think he would score goals for us he has talent but he fools around to much and they can undermine a manager shame but seems he couldn''t really care about playing club football just internationals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
