Ireland centre-back Dara O’Shea was out in front of the media yesterday, fielding questions on interim head coach John O’Shea.  He had a number of options – he could say he’s just a player, his job is to play.  He could offer some milquetoast remarks about the new coaching set-up.  Or he could tell us what he really thinks. He went with Option C – and Ken is now convinced he and the players want his namesake to get the job full-time.

Plus there’s Pedants Corner, the England captaincy for Declan Rice… and revenge is a dish best served Alpine-glacier cold for Brian Kerr tonight.
