Their website isn't displaying the club news.
Who's Richie Sadlier going to laugh at now...?
How far away is Malta? It is far away isn't it? Oh please god be far away.
It's far enough so that he won't be gracing our screens while he's working there. So let me be the first to wish Roddy lots of sucess with his new job.
God help them there!!!!Quote:

Their league divides in two for the promotion and relegation and they were bottom of the top tier!
He is already talking about recruiting from here but they are only allowed 3 foreign players!
3 foreign or 3 non-EU players?
Spot on. Good luck to himQuote:

They have a St Patrick's in the lower league
We played them in the Intertoto back in 1995, i think. Delighted he's out of the league.
The job suit him.
I hate the man as he is a stones, but i do wish him success so that he stays far away.Quote:

People might be happy to see him go but it will not be the same without him.
Thank God, at least it'll keep the chancer off our tv screens for a while anyways, until he gets sacked that is!! His article in todays Star displays his usual flair for modesty, he was the first man to introduce full time football into the League of Ireland, and the agent that rang him used to be Youri Djorkaeffs agent etc etc!! May he stay far far away!;)
Interesting that George O'Callaghan is following him down (did he ever coach him?), rebuild two careers in one! For one I think he'll be a hit, he works hard, knows the game and deserves a break after what that chancer with umbro did. Good luck to the man!
sean connor your next.Then the league will be free of sum of the biggest Muppet's
please god may it be a long and succesful reign for roddy,well long anyway very long very very long
I've always wondered what the irish connection to Maltese football is all about.Quote:

Anyone know what that 'partnership' involved ?Quote:

I remember Rovers had a Maltese international with them a couple of years ago so maybe they got him from them:confused:
The nicknames are "The Greens" and "The Irish", the first for obvious reasons, the second because the Royal Dublin Fusiliers were based in Floriana and gave them a set of kit, which was green and white, and such was the friendship that they said they'd always play in them.Quote:

While googling this I found that Roddy had a Maltese player while at Carlisle. Wonder if there's any connection between that and this job?
Roddy to live and work in Malta.
Won't be going there on my holidays now:(
No, and you probably won't be going to Sunderland either since the great Irish Messiah quit ! Ipswich is it then? ;)Quote:

There, i said it, let the abuse start :o

He is a huge loss, he spoke his mind, Bohs do play such boring football and hes come out time and time again saying this and slating Fenlon for this. He also had great things to say about Dundalk and always argued with some of the other clowns(Rico) on MNS re the artificial surface at Oriel, he was in favour of it and said its keeping the club going which it is. He also told Mickey Daly to not join Fingal and to come to us! And hes been one of our best players to date.
A large part of the problem, I often found.Quote:
