Mr Byrne, is going live on Radio 1 with Joe Duffy to answer his critic, amidst a plot to “Ruin him”. Should be compulsive listening.

Hunter is an utter buffoon. Fair play to Duffy for cutting off rent-a-sham before he could unleash his PR spiel.
Not very enlightening so far. Sounds like a shop window for Ollie.

Jesus - who is this Dundalk idiot?
Saying they got promoted and then relegated by the "morons" this season
IT WAS NEVER A PROMOTION PLAYOFF FFS
Then goes on to wheel out the old party line from "Dis Great Assocyashun of Ours" about it being the bestest amateur sporting body in the world

Apparently Dundalk have been the most consistent club in Irish football....! :eek:
Hence why they're winning leagues and cups, and playing the likes of Liverpool and Spurs in Europe in one of the best grounds in the country, one minute, then struggling for years in the basement division with the same ground in a decrepit state the next. That Dundalk guy has an impartial viewpoint that would even make Olly blush...!

This is a bit more like it - a very erudite call from a colleague of mine
The league isn't coming out of this too well at all. I don't know why the hell the Rovers guy was on, he said pretty much nothing but to wish Shels the best and the Dundalk guy was simply embarrassing.
Pile of crap so far.
Ollie is more composed than usual though!

If we had a presenter who knew the story Ollie would be getting a proper grilling. It seems Duffy is educating himself as he goes along.

Some serious smoke and mirrors from Ollie over the very simple question of 'How did you end up in control of Shelbourne Football Club'.
Apparently it went something like this : Ollie and a number of people owed the club a decade ago; Ollie gave the club to the Donnellys out of respect for what they did for the club, and then a few years later they handed it back to Ollie out of respect for his efforts'.....!
Crystal clear transfers of ownership then......

Basically Tolka isnt a pot of gold for Shels the councillors have them by the balls. If its worth 40million Shels would be lucky to get 2m.

You're off the hook, as I don't see you as a threat this year. Shels are not a threat either so I may have to get back to the good old days of baiting Pats fans.
It's going to be so much more fun now though, since wws & Dodge are mods and I'm not in a position to block the Internet access of either of them. :D

Let.It.Go.
Your obsession with all things Rovers is getting old son.
Not a lot can be done in stopping rtengland having Hunter on. They even interviewed him about Bertie a while back. IMO Hunter belongs on a show with Joe Duffy.

So if someone comes up with a decent plan for Shelbourne FC, he'll happily step aside, put the ground in a trust and leave it all behind.
So Shels fans - there's your answer to the head scratching 'but what can we do' attitude. It seems Ollie would be willing to relinguish control if you could come up with your own version of the 400 Club or something.
I'd love yee's to prove me wrong, but I won't be holding me breath.....

This Is probably an idiotic question but who the Fcuk is Alan hunter I've heard him mentioned on here but never heard of him anywhere else i gather he's a muppett who comments on the eL on radio shows etc. but in what capacity? is he a fan or whats the story ?
I think to some degree Ollie has a point about not being willing to just hand over the running of the club to just anyone. It may well be that he was dead right not to hand over control to the investor- who are pretty much just in there for gain from Tolka Park without guarantees about their plans for Shelbourne and plans for how they would run the club.
In the absence of anyone else coming in it probably falls to a fans group to set up some sort of co-op, trust or whatever to take over the club. Then again it may well be that Ollie would refuse to hand over to such a group if he saw them as not well enough organized or likely to reduce Shelbourne to a much lower status and will hold out for a big money investor to come in.
The thing is that time is seriously against Shels. They have no manager, only 8 players who they can't pay and things seem to be going from bad to worse.

You might have a point if it was not Ollie. I mean he is as "just anyone" as you can get.

just a small point but there is no requirement to have players on the books until the new season - less than ideal but certainly the old way things where done (and a very realistic approcah given LoI revenues.

Sheridan: RTE were told beforehand that Shamrock Rovers would not be wringing EL dirty linen on national radio and that's why there was so little to say. It was an utterly pointless exercise.
You really ought to seek therapy, though. Such bitterness in one so young cannot be healthy.

Too right. Why hand control over the club to an untried and untested set of people, and take the risk of them running the club into the ground, when he can retain control of Shels and make damn sure of their demise for himself... !
What with Ollie Byrne's increasing lunacy, the Dundalk/Galway scandal, Limerick's esteemed chairman telling all and sundry that he's taking the FAI to court, and just the downright half assed approach that seems to be given to the EL by our new bosses in Merrion Square it doesn't look like the FAI Premiership is going to get off to a great start now does it? How we're expected to attract new fans to a product that is being viewed national as a running joke is beyond me

It's not 'viewed' as a running joke, it 'is' a running joke.:mad:
