Dave Rogers Sacked

[hoops1]

It definitely only was a bit of banter between Rogers and Pats fans. We gave him usual stick, he gave a bit banter. He's one of the few who can take it in fairness to him.

Scandalous decision by Dundalk IMO. It was never a sackable offence. Combined with Dundalk upping prices and the possible sacking of O'Callaghan it screams that money is an issue with Dundalk

Never agreed with you more. Rodgers is one of the players who you can have a bit of banter with during a game. He gets dog abuse wherever he goes (alot vicious some probably racist and there is never one word of complaint from him. OK he probably overstepped the mark but jesus christ to sack him is a disgrace.

[SligoBrewer]

Spot on. It's indecent exposure, whatever way you look at it. Sure don't players get booked all the time for taking their shirts off to celebrate a goal?

For it to be indecent exposure, his genitals have to be exposed. And his balls aren't THAT big.

Was it a full mooner or was it just down to his jocks?

Jocks

Jocks

I think that punishment is a bit harsh so

Jocks

Full mooner actually. Pic in the paper caught it at the end (as he was pulling up)

I stand corrected.

What about the children at the game ? Was it right for them to witness this ? I think it sends out a clear message to the rest of the squad and I support the decision.

Besides, didnt pats sack a player last year for being too fat !

[stamullendrog]

prices up at the gate,two players sacked,well one definite one rumoured,a manager that wouldnt manage a **** up in a brewery,i think between dundalk and bohs off the field woes drogs will stay up and cement our place as the pride of louth

[hoop4life]

bit harsh imo, however very stupid on his part.

didn't joey barton moon fans whilst playing for city?? no sacking there, a really professional club would have dealt with it internally with a fine or suspension and that is not a dig at dundalk

City sold Barton for 5million, which probably influenced their decision to hang on to him. No chance of another club paying anything for Rogers. Well, maybe a few packets of Tayto.

Surely you mean Honky Dorys? Rogers for Drogheda

You reap what you sow in this life; appointing Conor, and sacking the gaffer that got them promoted in the first place was an act of a stupendous idiocy. Who else has the feeling that these crazy stories will keep coming out of Oriel until somebody does the decent thing?...

as in nuke the entire town of Dundalk?

Society would win I suppose.

[sonofstan]

Dublin people simply don't care about the rest of the country enough to screw it

True dat.

[Mr A]

Yup, too busy doing heroin and committing crimes to conspire against the rest of us.

[SeanDrog]

Dont quote the old "what about the children" line.

What did the moral dundalk do about the fan who ran around the pitch butt naked the time before last they got promotion - he ran for the best part of five mins in full view of all the families etc then hoped back over the fence into the shed?

Was he banned for life ?

This would appear to be nothing but an opportunity to cut the wage bill.

I bet legal action is forthcoming .

My thoughts too. For a club who condoned the actions of Maxi with the use of the lilywhite lounge for a fundraiser after his antics in Merrion square, Dundalk have suddenly become very moralistic (or is it broke).

Part of Sean Connor's sacking was his mooning in the Brandywell before the LC final a couple of years ago. Never mind the other crap Bohs had on him, he still won his unfair dismissal case

[CSFShels]

Absolute disgrace, can't stand Rogers, but Dundalk sacking him is actually hilarious given the moral character of most of the players they've signed. I suppose they're going to come out and say that seeing Dave Rogers' arse is a worse influence on kids than seeing Michael Collins start a fight with anything that moves. That said, I do believe what he did gos beyond banter, and he did deserve to be punished, but this is just ridiculous.
