Kinsella raising his profile

Mark Kinsella's earlier quotes regarding the possible signing of Demontagnac and De la Cruz look like they have come from yesterday's pre-match press conference which he took in the absence of Plucky Parky. The official line, as supported by today's email bulletin, is that Plucky was locked away with Waggie desperately trying to sign players - presumably that two. Beam in on CAFCTV to hear Kins for yourself....

After his rant about the pathetic performance at Hillsborough last Saturday, I suggested Parkinson should keep his head down this week and avoid making anymore banal comments about how well we are doing without winning any games etc. I am pleased, therefore, that he has taken this important opportunity not to attend yesterday's briefing but I suspect Mark Kinsella relished the chance to be official spokesman and that the Board will have been keeping one eye on how he did and how he was received. Perhaps Parky is having a big sulk with the players this week and is hoping they will fight for him tomorrow. If so, he might struggle to work out his approach for Monday morning.

I'm not suggesting for a minute that there is anything Machievellian in any of this although Kins or Chapple must be favourite to be picking the team before May's out.
