Nasty move by Rovers. They grab Collins the morning of the Drogs game for City and leave them up the creek.

Its a good move by City though. They will probably be able to play some decent football now without that bo**ox on the sidelines. It means that it'll be harder for us tonight though :(

It'll do one of two things. They'll either collapse without guidance and or really p'd off and try harder.

Well can he win them promotion in his first full season in charge?
Dose he now have to give his merc back to Carlisle United as he has gained paid employment.( if rovers pay him!)

This moving from club to club is obviously a "car laundering" excercise.
Roddy stated he would keep a threatened club from relegation this season and, being a man of his word, has therefore had to move on as he has failed Dublin City. Is it mathematically possible for Rovers to be relegated yet?
What a laugh that would be. :p

This is happening so often in this league that we'll have to give it a name. We should all say that Roddy has 'done a Doolo'. No doubt there will be a war of words next year between Roddy and the new Dublin City manager with Roddy claiming that his team didn't get relegated so the new manager must be terrible.
Poor Student

This is a very calculated move by Rovers. Their strategy to avoid relegation is to destabilise the Vikings' ship as they aren't confident enough in their own ability to pick up the points.
I'm delighted that Roddy has walked on Dublin City, nice to see that scumbag Ronan Seery left high and dry.
I wonder what their only fan Sheridan thinks about this?
I'm happy for Rovers aswell, I'd hate to see them go down and now that they've got a great manager they might actually do well enough next year, they might even beat Shels to second place! ;)

Colm, very dissapointed in you. Are you going to hoop along for the rest of the season? Traitor. Go join the tallaght revolution and start snorting coke. Rovers are a liability to the league and it wont be long before the people of tallaght will want them out of tallaght when they move in. Mindless Rovers, yere gonna follow Drumcondra out of Business. The hoops will fly no more. Long live the leinster senior league
I know you don't mean that.
It's true that we always have a go at Rovers fans and mock them about their lack of support and the fact that they're homeless etc but the truth is that they are a proper football club with real proper football fans.
Dublin City are neither of the above, they are nothig but a franchise who will be gone out of business in a couple of years and they only have one or two fans!
You can't blame Roddy for leaving the club and calling him a traitor is just plain stupid. Who the hell is he a traitor to in all fairness?? Ronan Seery and 1 or 2 fans. I won't be losing any sleep over those soulless cnuts!

Roddy has done a very wrong thing and Rovers have done a very wrong thing here. It's not illegal but it is highly immoral.
Hope they go down.

You do enough licking ass to Rovers anyway.
You know that's about as far form the truth as you could be.
After Shels and Waterford, they'd be my most hated club but as much as I'd be the first to take the **** out of them I do have a lot of respect for their fans (after all the sh!t they've had to go through) and tradition (even if it is sad that they still go on about past glories!).
Sure Guerzy, aren't you the fella who has great respect for Ollie Byrne?? ;) :rolleyes:

Completely untrue. Dublin City fans may be sparse but they are passionate. Rovers are scumbags always have been and always will. Come on Dublin City send them down to where they belong. Roddy is a no good waste of space. Dublin City are better off without them. Watch him try and pinch the likes of Rundle away though. Dirty rotten scum. Still i suppose he's found his true home in the shape of Rovers. And when Rovers are relegated this season hopefully they introduce a relegation thing in the first division and send them packing to the leinster league with their tallaght scum. Syringes will be more appropriate in the leinster senior league.

Congratulations on the most bitter post ever. You've outdone a host of bitter Bohs fans with that slice of invective. They've put in years of hard work and you've managed to out-bitter them in one post.
I'm sure they'd love to buy you a pint. The address is The Long Bar, Dalymount Park, Phibsboro, Dublin 7. Don't forget your red and black scarf to go with the chip on your shoulder.

Hopefuly this might give the franchise the boost they need to stay up....I'm not one to use foul and abusive language on these forums, but that Roddy Collins is a despicable c**t. A foul-mouthed knacker who was probably reared and conceived for that matter in a skip. He has no morals, principles or manners and is the most arrogant, dirty, back-stabbing, hypocritical, useless, inept, hair-brained, intolerable, merciless piece of sh1t that I have ever had the misfortune of meeting.
But he comes from a long line of total scum it seems...the brother is a woman beating tosspot as well. The man could not get any lower....what a reptile. :mad:

you are not Adam & he has never come out with the crap that you come out with , that has no sence nor meaning, but is based upon you own hatred (for whatever reason)of Ronan Seery. You slagging of DCFC fans is not the way a mod should behave.
Dublin City are a small club and it is easy to criticse the small fanbase, board etc. while it is so easy to be a "fan" of a "bigger" club like Cork. Hope that Dublin City can begin to pick up the pieces after this as it was hard for the town when Kenny walked.

Just to say I think that most people can see how dispicable this act is. Saying you're going to do a job until the end of a season, bringing in expensive players having the club put them up etc, saying your word is your bond etc and then leaving to go to the team that you have been castigating for months and saying that they're finished!! If Roddy had waited until the end of the season and gone to Rovers no one at DCFC or anywhere else would bat an eyelid. That he has done it now is a disgrace.
It's no slur on Rovers fans at all, but I sincerely hope that (regardless if we go down or stay up) that Bohs HOCKEY Rovers in Roddys 1st game in charge and that we can beat them on the last day of the season, even if we're down already.

Maybe Roddy should have waited until the end of the season to join Rovers but what if this was his one and only chance?
Rovers are a much bigger club than DC and it's one of the biggest jobs in the league so he'd have been mad to turn it down.
I think people are being too hard on Roddy and the people wishing DC to stay up and Rovers to go down would want to get their heads checked (apart from the DC fans obviously).

Guerzy I hope were speaking “tongue in cheek” as I think you have done a disservice to both the Leinster Senior League and the people of Tallaght. There are many eL clubs who could learn a thing or two about facilities and the running of clubs. Arklow Town, James Gate, Edenderry Town, Aer Rianta and many, many more LSL clubs have great playing and training facilities. Some often rented out by so called bigger clubs in the EL.
I'm sure Rocky knew that Roddy would jump ship at the first half decent offer that came along, the hurtful part for Rocky will be Rovers and the fact that they are locked in a relegation battle with DC.
PS Drumcondra are still alive and kicking playing in Morton Stadium under floodlights every second friday.
Seery actually says something that I agree with
"It's the lowest thing I have ever seen in football, I'm in shock," Seery said. "To come and take a manager from your rivals with three games to go is a terrible thing to do, it's unethical from Rovers."
Must say that roddy is lucky that DCFC havent a big fanbase, or indeed a 'fan'base like Bohs or Shams. He would probably think twice before making such a move if there were consequences from few lunatics.

Why would we need our heads checked ? apart from this being one of the worst things i seen in the eL if DC stayed up instead of Rovers it would give the likes of Bray, Harps and UCD a better chance of staying up next season as we would be all very evenley matched.
"It's the lowest thing I have ever seen in football, I'm in shock,"
I wonder does he think it's even lower than the "lowlife scum" Cork City fans. :rolleyes:
He does have a tendency to over exaggerate anything that upsets him in the slightest.
^^^^^^^^^^
Was thinking the same myself, but this time he may actually have a point.
Maybe Roddy should have waited until the end of the season to join Rovers
I reckon thats the crux of the matter here. He SHOULD have waited
but what if this was his one and only chance?
There were hardly queues for the job. It would still have been there in 3 weeks time
There were hardly queues for the job. It would still have been there in 3 weeks time
Yeah but none of us really know that. For all we know Rovers could have said to Roddy that they are appointing a manager this week and if he's not interested they will appoint one of the other candidates (and there must have been a few).
If any of us were in Roddy's position and earned our living as a full time football manager we'd have jumped at the oppurtunity to leave DC and join Rovers. DC are probably fcuked with or without him, Rovers could have a bright future.
I wonder had Roddy planned this all along and was just waiting for something to happen on the Tallaght front? Last weeks announcement could have made his mind up.

"It's the lowest thing I have ever seen in football"
ah, poor baby. Didn't he use exactly the same phrase in reference to the city fans. maybe this will teach him not to cry wolf, and that when he uses this kind of language he should save it for occasions such as this, when its really deserved.

There's some City fans defending ye aswell.
In truth all City fans would rather ye stayed over DC even if some only want ye for the rivalry and hatred between the fans. Rovers are a proper football club with a good band of loyal fans, the same can't be said for DC.
