Rovers depratures anticipated
I can't believe he'd get rid of Payne, Wolski or Philips. They're all good players. I don't know much about Lee Feeney but the other three are definitely up to the standard of the Premier. I hope they all stay here.
If Roddy wanted to save money for transfers maybe he shouldn't have so many professionals at the club....
Payne is already gone
Philips is not a "good" player. I was on the Ultras board telling them how poor a player he was when they signed him, and the Rovers fans seem to agree
Payne is crap.
afaik most of the Rovers squad, well the good players anyway, were signed on short term deals. Collins probably has no choice but let them go, and no money anyway...
After shooting down those two, what do yez think of Wolski?
I think he's a pretty good player. Strong, fast and a fierce striker of the ball.
payne, dropped and has gone back to the states coaching. no loss, but we will miss his wife :DQuote:

feeny is rumured to have skipped training on monday to concentrate on his hangover. recurring theme with his career. pity, but rod is under severe pressure and was going to take it out on someone.
not true, some have clauses so they can go if an english club comes in for them. gavin signed a long term deal recently. mccourt is really the only one we risk losing across the pond.Quote:

Whats McCourts wages like?
not surprising, after we beat you he was the scapegoat (even though all three goals were down to poor defending), Roddy and a few 'senior' players were given him unreal stick while the side warmed down. And all in front of the city fans, it was embarassing for the lad.Quote:

Jesus, thats harsh! From what I'd seen he was no God, but he was good, but having muck supposedly helping to defend doesn't help. I hope as time goes on they realise how good he actually was for them, just for commupances sake!Quote:

our defence is solid enough, and we stopped conceding at exactly the time rodney lost patience with russell.
all these saved wages should go to bringing in a much needed striker.
there are a handful of players on short term deals, but gain and mccourt were really the only two of significance and both appear to be going nowhere.
I agree Payne is crap, maybe Rovers regret dropping Noel Mooney last season now...?
Only saw Feeney when he came on as sub on tv first game of season in Dalymount & he looked handy...
Is he not still there? "Hi I'm Noel Mooney, Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper...." :DQuote:

Did anyone see Roddy's interview on eL Weekly a few weeks back? Possibly after the 0-0 draw at Belfield, he was fuming over his players saying about half the team will not be there to enjoy their Premier Division survival.
No he's not. He's numero uno at Limerick now. So unlike his former team mates he will be playing premier next season. :)Quote:

KOH
Not the Roddy way though is it?Quote:
