    The Roddy Collins Thread

    I believe foot.ie really lacks a Roddy Collins controversy thread. He's good for a gem every now and again and it's unfair of him to clog up other threads on this site.

    In reply to:
    http://www.thestar.ie/star/for-lrish...rificed-61895/

    Balls.ie article: http://tinyurl.com/ngj659w

    And I quite enjoyed this:

    http://www.donegaldaily.com/2015/04/...katie-hopkins/

    "Finn Harps fans compare Roddy Collins to Katie Hopkins." That's quite a headline.

    Balls.ie article didn't work with 'p!ssed off' in the url.

    Last one works fine for me.

    He's a clown who just wants attention. Best thing to do is ignore him.

    He will revel in the knowledge that he has his own dedicated thread. Please delete it!

    the more he contradicts himself in his columns the more I'm starting to ignore him. He's just trying to stay relevant god love him.

    Collins needs to be starved of the oxygen of attention. And then just starved of oxygen.

    Would actually agree with Roddy there are too many clubs in Dublin.

    Liked his comments on Owen Heary - "10 games is enough to judge a manager in a new job" It was certainly enough for Derry last season - how long did they give Roddy again

    On the Dublin clubs - I'm reluctant to even comment, but, it's stupid stuff. So if Pats and Shels didn't exist Bohs and Rovers would be getting 5,000 every week ? Really ? Leaving aside the fact that Pats crowds are as good as Bohs (both crap I know).

    Once again, Roddys main problem is that no-one will employ him. He'd crawl over broken glass to take over at Richmond Park, so his "opinion" here is as worthless as usual. Who knows if he even believes what he's spouting.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Suggesting that a team with the tradition and successful history of St. Pats should be chucked out the league shows how ridiculous Roddy is.

    I agree, Harps tradition is absolutely in the past, I think.

    Or is our future in the past and our past in the future?

    Mind blowing stuff Rodderick.

    To the Harps fans who are angry/bemused at Roddy's remarks, do you really honestly think that there is room for Finn Harps and Roddy's sizeable noggin in the LOI? I think not.

    No problem there. Roddy isn't in the LOI and there's no prospect of his return. Unless Heary gets the road and a panicky Sligo board press the big red button marked "RODDY COLLINS- DO NOT PRESS"

    He's just challenging the very concept of time itself there, isn't he? We should bow down to such thought for it is beyond us mere mortals.

    See anyone else might say Heary's not doing a good enough job at Sligo, he needs to be replaced.
    But not Roddy no, he says its time for Heary to leave management for good.

    Roddy Collins, whose had about two good seasons out 15.
