My choice would be Scott Robertson as mentioned by King on the hill earlier in the thread. Ticks all the boxes.

It literally is, and there are rumours that he is moving. But can’t see it.Kofi Annan wrote:Wet dream, wet dream.pg106 wrote:My choice would be Scott Robertson as mentioned by King on the hill earlier in the thread. Ticks all the boxes.

At least he is familiar with the greater Lisburn area then. That's a big positive.Cockatrice wrote:Seen Lancaster in Sprucefield earlier in the week...

I know it's the belly laugh so let's take it with a tanker of salt but there is reference (though not directly quoted) to the fact that Bryn is adamant that the new coach hasn't been so far linked to the job. Ergo, no Andy Friend.
We live in hope anyway.

Re: New Coach
Reckon it is Lancaster and they don't want to rock d4 before the finals and FIRFU were put in their box already by Leinster recently. Plus Lancaster is losing out having to convert euros every time he goes home.
Do we not need 2 people? A DOR and a head coach?

Re: New Coach
Thought we may be ditching the DOR and running with head coach and Bryn doing the paperwork and forward thinking about how things go in a more management based system.jean valjean wrote:Reckon it is Lancaster and they don't want to rock d4 before the finals and FIRFU were put in their box already by Leinster recently.

Re: New Coach
Why would Lancaster move? He’s already in effect a head coach with Cullen in effect DOR at Leinster. He probably has access to the best academy in Europe, and if he stays for next 2/3 yrs nigh on nailed on Euro cup / league shot in place.
Only real selling point would be u r the main man, with BC dealing with all the off field stuff so he could sort out the coaching.....can’t see it at the moment.

Aye, he may well be, but right now he lives very near Grosvenor HS at a location I will never reveal. He lives with a wife and two children ... but this may just be a cover to hint at normality.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Catch yerselves on lads, Jimmy Davidson died years back. Mind you if they could rebuild him, he’d do me.

Well at least the tea will be good.
