Joint approach to finally get back to winning ways

I WOULD like to suggest that we pick the next Irish soccer team from a Cork City/ Dundalk FC selection, and it be jointly managed by John Caulfield and Stephen Kenny.

They are two men of integrity who will put the interests of our country before that of their respective clubs’ players.

Nevertheless, John and Stephen should each be confined to picking players from their opposite clubs.

In the event of doubt between the prowess of certain players, each player/ players should be allowed to play a different half of the game.

The players from both sides play wholeheartedly.

They are highly talented, and in the present non-successful run of Irish team results, they are deserving of an opportunity to represent us.

One other thing: ‘motivator’ Roy Keane and Martin O’ Neill – particularly the former – should not be allowed to attend training sessions.

Nor on the day of the game should they be allowed to enter the team’s dressing room.

By the way, I am a Shamrock Rovers fan. Patrick Goodwin
