Hoops face new crisis

Therefore, would the fact that WE ALL accept that Rovers Board are the idiots that have gotten such a Club (forgive my ignorance, but I see Rovers as an EL Club of fine Tradition) into such a state not create a bit of a guilt that they are going to the Wall? C'mon!

Cast aside the Millwall, Cardiff blah de blah element!! Underneath that they have a decent Fan base, EL Fans, and we can't ignore it any longer. Most Derry Fan's hate Rovers - although I suspect Harps have taken the heat off any other EL Club recently in those stakes - but I would really hate to see a minority like the EL sit by and watch such a Club go down the drain.

I really do think the League body should step in and organise some way of sorting out the Tallaght patch they have. Bertie himself turned the first Sod!! As scribe after scribe humours themselves on the League and the multiple posts that are posted here one of the Leagues proudest Clubs (Put rivalry aside - accept it!) is going down the Pan!! It's not Funny anymore. Should it be any other Club I would feel the same.

Bertie **** YOU! May the next Sod you see turned turned be your Grave!! You built up the hopes of so many and then do a U Turn that should have made your Muck Savage head spin!!!

Should Rovers be turned away from every Stadium in this Island I hope the last hure that does it knows what they are doing!!!:mad:

The other three clubs were willing to find allow Dublin City to play in Dalyer and Rovers in Tolka, either makes **** all difference to you TBH.

(b) Easy to say when you've no fans-that's why the rest of us dismiss you as a plastic club-hopefully the footballing public do the same.

(c)They did the FAI blocked it. Also they (unlike your board) are trying to sort out the building of our own ground

(d) I do in votes/goodwill re grants and when your looking for somewhere to play. As mentioned above you won't have a PD standard ground of your own for many moons.

a)This ****e of the other clubs were willing to allow Dublin City to play at Dalyer. At no time was Dublin City consulted about this. dublin City had a signed contract to play at Tolka, end of story.
b) Infintile statement, get over youreslf. your fan base is dying not growing.
c)Your board can't even do a deal to rent a ground. Can't see Tallaght ever being built. Oh no i forgot! Brendan o'Carroll's going inject millions into the club. Can't even pay your players.
d)business is business. We'll take our chances.

a) Are you privy to the fact that Dublin City were not consulted. Its not what I heard

b) I suppose DCFC (Or whatever your called this week ;) ) fan base is going through the roof. NO LOI Club can have a go over fan bases.

c) Again we did pay our players most of the time just a few weeks were not paid. Its not right I know but Ringo we werent the only club.

d) Fair point but as i say it could come back to haunt you.

Ringo myslf and Tommy aint having a go we are just pointing out a few facts. I may get slated for this but I think Dublin City have done very well. The Idea with Carrolls while obvious to most they were the first club to get off thier Ass and do it.

Listen I think Shamrock Rovers are a great club, who over the years have been shafted along the way. Ronan Seery has put everything he owns and his whole life in building up Dublin City.

Dublin City were asked, after the other clubs had got together & decided amongst them, much to the annoyance of Dublin City.

I would love to see Tallaght get off the ground, but your present board seem unable or incapable of achieving this.

Fan bases are crap all across the league, we have a small fan base, but it is growing & we are doing a lot more than other clubs to promote Irish soccer.

I’m a bit hung-over so I was a bit tetchy earlier! Every club has money problems .

As regards Carroll’s, they approached Dublin City & Seery saw a good opportunity and grabbed it. Both seem to be very happy with the arrangements.

It could have been a lot different if Shelbourne had of returned a message left by Carroll’s on their answering machine over two years ago.

Dying ??? Hardly, it's actuallt been going up since we left Santry. We had more fans in POLAND than you had at any game I've ever been at in Whitehall.

Come on, no point in asking Dublin City if Shels don't want us at all or if Bohs don't want you, obviously the reverse is true, but the fact is you won't move, stop blaming the order you were asked in.

Soccerc unfortunately in reality the majority are thugs and scum and while tommy t and co think their the UN their only glad to join the big boys when stuff starts heating up. I cant ever remember attending a cork city match where Rovers fans hadent been involved in something. For the fact why everytime can you explain soccerc in Cork that every bar in the turners cross area have an array of bouncers on view. My sympathies are with the true Rovers fans but the club is rotten to the core and their is no turning back

Let's get this straight. First up, I'm not a supporter of Rovers or an apologist on their behalf but I find your statement above that the majority of Rovers fans are thugs and scum totally and wildly inaccurate and a downright blatant lie.

I know quite a number of them and indeed had the pleasure of their company in a small Czech town for a few nights last summer. While I may not see eye to eye with them on some issues and while they may accuse me of anti-rovers bias I have never ever found them to be anything less than totally committed in the support of their club.

I can't comment on what happens in Cork pubs when Rovers play at the Cross but will comment that i've seen the same when Pats, Bohs and Derry play there too.

I would like to thank SOCcfc, soccerc and Doctor Nightdub for saving me the bother of replying to that fool. Is it coincidence that we have shared pints and banter with the above mentioned - in other words those lads have actually met real live Rovers fans and come away unscathed?

I will correct one point though 'cos it does my head in, we have never had any links with Millwall. Not now, not last year, not ever. Cardiff on the other hand is a different matter. But they suffer from the same preconcieved nonsense as outlined by SuperKev.

He's right about one thing though we're all scum. :D

Why should we move, because you couldn't be arsed finding a ground. You knew you couldn't get a licence without a ground and did nothing.
