thanks for your efforts, now feck off

As expected, Brian Kerr gets the boot. I have little enough respect for Ireland's overseeing sporting bodies (the GAA's fumble with tickets for the hurling final this year; the Irish Olympic Council have been involved in so many stupid incidents that it's hard to know where to start; and handwaving the whole Equestrian side of things) but you'd imagine that having chosen a manager, the FAI would express at least some faith in him rather than assuming that everyone wants him out (most people I've talked to, which is admittedly a small sample, felt that he's simply being made a fall guy)
