On Off the Ball shortly...
and saddem was not even allowed a final statement
He is getting ratty now.
He's always ratty to some degree..
I half-feel for him..
No way, he sounded exactly like the tossers who tried to kill Rovers - self-pitying and in denial. If Shels fans don't take their club back NOW they have no-one to blame but themselves for what's going to happen to their club.Quote:

I will have a link to the material kindly supplied to us by Newstalk. It will be up within the hour!!!
Did I get the end of the interview right? Did Ollie say he won't step down at Shels, even if its to save the club?
Thanks for that Gareth.
"At the end of the day, I have unfortunately given my life to Shelbourne football club"
Fair play to Ollie but then they had Daniel McDonnell on again spouting his opinion on all of this. :eek:
The station is called Newstalk :rolleyes:
Here's hoping....Quote:

He refuses to discuss non-payment of wages.
Maybe someone "up there" does'nt like me
Or maybe they do...
Smoke and mirrors again.
"we had a bad year financially last year" - you've had a bad year EVERY year since 2003. You just postponed the inevitable by borrowing E6.5m.
"not getting revenue in the off-season is causing a cash-flow problem" No sh1t Sherlock, who'd have seen that one coming?! Its not a cash-flow problem, its a management problem!
Then wouldn't talk about wages outstanding.
Its like he's suddenly arrived at this doomsday situation and didn't see it coming, when the rest of football community has been talking about it for 18-24 months.
Fool.
No, its called Newstalk ;)Quote:

Mp3 link for those of us banned on the Shels forum :D
The guy wouldnt talk about Dillon situation or wages, sounds like a crabbnit fellow. Has he got a lisp? BTW whose idea was it to put an "s" in the word lisp?
"the amount of young children attending games". He meant Skooligans. He's nearly crying!! HA HA HA HA :D :D
he lost the biscuit once players were mentioned!!!:eek:
Reading between the lines, I thought it was fairly obvious that he'd agreed with Newstalk in advance what the subject of the interview would be, and then the interviewer ignored it and asked taboo questions anyway.
Two points - Newstalk presenters are too smug for their own good and Ollie just comes across bad in interviews.
what did ollie come on to talk about so?
investors? lol...
and in the rest of his life.Quote:

You seem to have a good list of contacts face - info@fai.ie, imawhinginglanger@cork.ck etc etc
What say what now ??Quote:

The 'bad financial year' stuff was pathetic. Shels won the league. :rolleyes:
Had to laugh when interviewer (clearly prompted from someone else as he wouldn't have a clue about the eL) started to ask about the wages situation. Oilys 'right now that wasn't our agreement for puff piece' attempts were classic Oily :D
I don't want Shels to go bust but would nice to see them wounded & struggle in bottom half of gthe Premier.
'He's always kind-of mad' :DQuote:

To be honest though, I found it all very vague and aspirational, nothing new and did little to inspire confidence.
in fairness Ollie successfully assured us all of whats goin on
the final negotians on the death of shelbourne is the size of the pay off for Mr Byrne from his "investors" (ie the ppl doing the land deal out there- which he calls investors!) - they obviously wont budge
he wont budge
he'll be gone soon enough
I'm not so sure.Quote:

What is he supposed to spend his time on instead ?
Ollie is dependent upon Shelbourne like a drug, and it is that dependency that will see him destroy the very thing he needs....
Would he say that Shelbourne FC is his precioussssss? He does have a history of working with hobbits.Quote:

Ollie on TV3. Thanks to Raheny Red on the Shels forum
"We might have to look at going part time..."
Nothing really new.
