DUBLIN City take on Shamrock Rovers in a game which although now meaningless as far as the relegation battle is concerned, has a decided edge to it after Roddy Collins walked out on the Vikings as it manfully battled to avoid the drop.
Collins still hasn't indicated why he left for the only team that the Vikings could overhaul despite repeated requests to enlighten everyone, but regardless, the consensus in football circles is that his Quisling-like decision ranks with the lowest form of actions ever perpetrated within the ranks of the eircom League.
Now nicknamed the `Turncoat in the Overcoat', Collins along with his lapdog Terry Eviston will occupy the visiting dugout tonight in Tolka Park (7.45pm K.O.) and there will be no love lost between the two and Dermot Keely in the Dublin City dugout.
Keely, who will tie up loose ends this weekend and confirm his agreement to take over on a permanent basis at the club, has stated that he won't be shaking hands with Collins after his most selfish act of walking out on a club when they most needed their manager.
Collins has tried to wind up Keely by saying `he's had his day,' but Collins forgets that Dermot has the added advantage of having a brain with a significant degree of cerebral activity.
Collins' controversial decision to walk-out undermined City's fight to beat the drop and part of the fallout is the continued absence of two of Collins' cross-channel signings Grant Cooper and Ronnie Henry who damagingly haven't travelled since Collins departed.
Robbie Farrell is suspended for tonight's encounter after his red card against Bohs but Scott Friel returns after suspension and Keely will be sure to fire up his troops to raise their game. Shane Robinson is suspended for the Hoops.
"It's a game we'd love to win," says skipper Tony O'Connor. "It's always nice to beat Rovers and after what Roddy Collins done, it'd be a nice way to sign off the season. Roddy's going around saying that he has the support of Dublin City players after he walked out but who that a naive Roddy taking people for mugs again and that's utter nonsense. It's typical Roddy. The players are deeply hurt by what he done, make no bones about it, and the best way of letting him know is by going out and performing on the field of play."
Some excellent grammar from "Toccy", showing that maybe he, or the person who posted the story, needs "a brain with a significant degree of cerebral activity".........:D

example:
I drove home last night alone. Nobody wanted to buy me a drink. No one wanted to go for a drink. I opened my bottle of southern comfort and I drank alone.
As you do when drinking alone I reflected. I remembered this time last year in Whitehall doused in Champers everyone buying me drink everyone drinking with me flash bulbs flashing everywhere. Great expetations. Great hopes. The train had left the station, the carriage was full. Alas last night the room was dark the only flashes were the flashes of the last 9 months going through my tangled mind. The train had sadly returned to the station early and the carriage was empty. OK I said as I poured another stiff one. I backed the wrong horse. I made a ****** of it. I should have done this. I should have done that. I should have listend to him. I should have listed to her. Lets go after Rovers. Lets go after Collins. Lets end the dream. Turn off the dimming light and start your life afresh. No hazzle. No stress. No abuse. No disloyality. No dealing with low morals. As I emptied my glass again and made my way to the door to make my way up stairs to start a new life I stopped.
*********** I took a deep breath a tear fell from my closing eye **********.
As I reached to finally turn off the the fading light for ever I said to my self.
NO F****KING WAY. THEY WONT F****GING WIN. SEVEN YEARS OF BLOOD GUTS PAIN WILL NOT BE THROWN AWAY.
I filled my glass yet again the helpings were getting bigger. My mind turned to Breda, Pat, Mark, Eamon, Eddie, Ray, George, John Gill, even Tom on the site, Breifne, Sean Kidd, Paul from Spar, Lorcan, & all my sponsors. Everyone out there touched by the dream. The fading light got brighter I heard the engine of the train give a little cough the driver was heading for platform NUM 1 again. He knew that he wont be able to drive until morning but he also knew the above passengers and more would be there. As I emptied my glass for the last time I shed my final tear. Life waits for no man and man must make life happen for himself.
WE WILL BE BACK ON THE TRACK TOMORROW.
I made my way to my waiting bed and as I turned off the light and drifted into my sleep the dream began again The dream lives on.
UP THE DUBS.
Jebus fúckin chríst ..... what is that like !!! :eek: :confused: :eek:
