Tissues at the ready for the tale of poor little Olly, doing his best for Irish football with the evil world working hard against him.
Actually - scrub the tissues. Make it a bucket.....
Can I listen to this piece of comedy gold online anywhere....?
Yeah Can Someone
Put A Copy Up For Us Non Liveline Ppl?
Anyone going to ring in with a question or two?
Anyone else having difficulty getting it to work online?
Alan ****ing Hunter, RTE shame on you
Hunter is an utter buffoon. Fair play to Duffy for cutting off rent-a-sham before he could unleash his PR spiel.
Not very enlightening so far. Sounds like a shop window for Ollie.
Could anyone ring in and give the lowdown on Hunter and his "organisation"?
dundalk decide to whine some more too! whats that got to do with shelbourne?
Jesus - who is this Dundalk idiot?
Saying they got promoted and then relegated by the "morons" this season
IT WAS NEVER A PROMOTION PLAYOFF FFS
Then goes on to wheel out the old party line from "Dis Great Assocyashun of Ours" about it being the bestest amateur sporting body in the world
Apparently Dundalk have been the most consistent club in Irish football....! :eek:
Hence why they're winning leagues and cups, and playing the likes of Liverpool and Spurs in Europe in one of the best grounds in the country, one minute, then struggling for years in the basement division with the same ground in a decrepit state the next. That Dundalk guy has an impartial viewpoint that would even make Olly blush...!
This is like listening to Lord Haw Haw and his radio propaganda from the early 1940s
Someone pass the bucket please
Your man said Dundalk are the second most successful club in LOI history. Isn't that Shels?:confused:
This is a bit more like it - a very erudite call from a colleague of mine
The league isn't coming out of this too well at all. I don't know why the hell the Rovers guy was on, he said pretty much nothing but to wish Shels the best and the Dundalk guy was simply embarrassing.
Pile of crap so far.
Ollie is more composed than usual though!
Nearly in tears here...
If we had a presenter who knew the story Ollie would be getting a proper grilling. It seems Duffy is educating himself as he goes along.
Some serious smoke and mirrors from Ollie over the very simple question of 'How did you end up in control of Shelbourne Football Club'.
Apparently it went something like this : Ollie and a number of people owed the club a decade ago; Ollie gave the club to the Donnellys out of respect for what they did for the club, and then a few years later they handed it back to Ollie out of respect for his efforts'.....!
Crystal clear transfers of ownership then......
Fair play to this Shelbourne fan, he's asking the right questions and applying the right pressure.
Basically Tolka isnt a pot of gold for Shels the councillors have them by the balls. If its worth 40million Shels would be lucky to get 2m.
You're off the hook, as I don't see you as a threat this year. Shels are not a threat either so I may have to get back to the good old days of baiting Pats fans.
It's going to be so much more fun now though, since wws & Dodge are mods and I'm not in a position to block the Internet access of either of them. :D
here's one from the archives regarding Hunter.

Ollie: can I answer that?
Duffy: yes
Ollie: I cant answer that.:confused: :confused: :confused:
So if someone comes up with a decent plan for Shelbourne FC, he'll happily step aside, put the ground in a trust and leave it all behind.
So Shels fans - there's your answer to the head scratching 'but what can we do' attitude. It seems Ollie would be willing to relinguish control if you could come up with your own version of the 400 Club or something.
I'd love yee's to prove me wrong, but I won't be holding me breath.....
Roddy to be the new manager then...
It's typical Ollie Byrne, just wait a few days for the big news.
