Surely not!!! This is hilarious, John Cleese couldn't script better! Even today in the Maltese media they're having a laugh at Roddy's expense (it's a sideswipe at Floriana but other clubs are not yet joining in, even fans of other clubs are supposedly being decent as Roddy had been saying he would be a front runner for the Maltese job in a couple of years).

No Christmas Cheering for Collins
The Greens club have sent a strong message to Irish giants Cork City that they are not to be going walked on. A disappointed President Joe Cauchi told a brief media conference that he is sorry that Cork City now seem to have bought the lies made from the coach Roddy Collins too. "Only just one week earlier Roddy was pushing to be made 2 more years for his contract. He was satisfied we had fulfilled all the contract and with I and Alan, my colleague, he accepted to stay until the end of June, then said he would call us on Monday with the 2 years decision. On Monday we tried in fail to contact him and on Tuesday he said he was very ill and could no longer coach. He denied hardly that he was going for a new job. That night he began his demand for free release to get the job in Cork."
Worse making for the-Irish is that Collins had already approached 2 players on Friday 2 weeks ago to join him in Cork, Donovan Simmonds and Sunday Wasiu. Simmonds answered our request to speak saying "Roddy let me down yes, he played a game with my head and left us, the foreign pro's out to dry. He's a joke man." Wasiu, the fan hero for this season, said Collins asked him to join Cork before the Msida game through his agent. "I am happy in Malta, my wife and my daughter too. Roddy has been not
constant here and I think has problems in his mind as we found out he was not telling the truth."
As the club prepares for Saturday's derby the players are very hurt that their coach treated them with so disrespect. A senior player did not wish to speak more beyond saying "He is not a man". Collins is still unable to
coach Cork as he has not the correct licence for Europe and with the FA in Ireland preparing charges against Cork for illegal signing of a coach there will be little Christmas to cheer in for coach Collins.

Reading the article above really helps to create feelings of contempt for Roddy. No honour or class, complete disregard for his colleagues and doesn't seem care about anything but himself. I feel for the Cork fans, and hope that ye don't have to put up with this spoofer for as long as you've had to put up with the other spoofer currently at your club.Comment

I have a feeling that the Rod won't be taking his planned trip to visit Malta in the Easter with the family (he offered Floriana to "take a few sessions and a clinic" if they put him up in the Radisson. I'd like to say I'm messing, but he actually had the neck to go on Maltese radio with this yesterday!!! The flag will have him strung up for two reasons, it's a betrayal and Valletta are nicknamed "City", so his new found love will last under Easter Sunday, but he'd probably rise again!Comment

How refreshing to read an article by a journalist who's not content just to copy and paste whatever he's told, but who wants to do some reporting and find the truth of the matter. Shows up our own pathetic lot.Comment

I must say I'm quite impressed with how the Maltese are reacting to this, club, fans, players and reporters. Taking no crap from the Rodster and letting him away with nothing. Hope Floriana put Roddy and/or Coughlan's Cork City out of business once and for all to be honest.The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand..Comment
