Madam, - The hounding in the press and on television of Mr Brian Kerr as he attempts to steer a squad of very modest capabilities to a place in the World Cup finals is an unedifying spectacle. It is down there with the treatment handed out to successive national team managers in England by the gutter press over there.
Is there anyone in journalism concerned with the reputation of the profession willing to speak out? - Yours, etc,
L CROWE, Dublin 5.
