YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Don't understand why Northern Ireland haven't given it to Colin O'Neill yet tbh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Bara's done a good job with their u21s and the story seems to be that they're keen on that continuity. He also wouldn't need compensation. I just looked it up, he's currently got a 47.37% win rate. Robinson lost all of his 10 games with the u21s although Magilton only managed to win 1 so it may have been the group of players. Fair play to him, I didn't realise that.Baraclough seems a nice guy but was largely terrible for us (bar 1 set of results...) so it would be absolutely typical for him to get the NI job and end up pitching up at the Euros next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be the early favourite for the Dundee United job though and if he ends up there I think Robinson taking the NI job is a formality. Also, what have I missed that Ian Baraclough is even being considered? TW has been the early favourite for the United job every time its come up since he won the Cup. I wouldnt read too much into that. His dream job is NI so he wouldnt be choosing United over that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he deserves it even more than Robinson given the job he did in Perth. That plus the fact that Wright is out of work and Bara would be a promotion you would hope they will be going balls out to get the job, whereas Robbo knows he has unfinished business at Motherwell including a crack at European competition. If he continues to do well then he will get a better job soon enough and eventually the chance to take over NI job a few years down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like it's the perfect time for TW career wise, while Robinson should get another couple of shots at it over the course of his career. I'm heavy biased though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think Bara and Wright will both be employed by NI in the very near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Ngl I'm actually surprised that N.I have deliberated this much/actually undertaken a rigorous process. I more or less assumed they'd just give to Wright because he was an old boy and Robinson would get the job next time it came up. Maybe I'm too used to the internal machinations of the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF its only been 2 months since O'Neill quit. I sort of half think they expected him to continue as part time manager until the Play Offs/Euros were done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 You've maybe seen it, but Scott Burns is saying you've not granted permission for NI to speak to Robinson, and theres currently no plan for him to talk to them during their interview process over the next few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Hmmmm... I'd be a bit surprised if we've explicitly said "No" to him speaking to them. The way that tweet is worded it sounds like they're interested in interviewing him but haven't formally asked. At the same time we've now signed 4 players who have all talked up the manager selling the club to them and we've also literally signed up his son so it's felt like there's been some sort of commitment from Robinson for next season. The NI job has been in the background since last year so I'd have thought Burrows and Robinson would at least have had a conversation about the position the club would take.

dezz Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Robinson ‘reluctantly’ given permission to speak to the Northern Irish FA over the national job. Hope Tommy Wright and Ian Baraclough are excellent in interview situations. Tommy might be a bit rusty though, he’s not had one for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
