Thats just not true about the pub + I think that most people suspected that he would be there. I dont think that anyone was supprised when he turned up.

Thats fair enough, but I think that one group of them were starting them just to $hit stir which I thought was very, very disapointing (They tried to start 'Rico's Rebel Army' later on).

Only about 5, maybe 10 went over from what I saw.

Hmm, fair enough, but you've always got to take a pinch of salt with PR Pat.

I think Pete & the Pats fans are right though, maybe we should stop giving Pat the attention and just focus on what we do best and get behind the players! :ball:

Didnt he tell the Pats fans that Cork was just a job and St Pats was "his" club a few months ago? He's telling porkies to someone anyway.

At last someone else who remembers the crap he came out with.

Soundbite man is all he is.

Dolan is like the psycho ex girlfriend who keeps stalking you. I think he should stay away from the games. It undermines Richardson and Lennox. It may unsettle some of the players and ultimately it's a bit psychotic

He was in Dublin the night before so it wasn't as much of a distance as City fans would have to travel.

If he did, then he can't be a fan in the true sense of the word, more an interested spectator.

I don't have any problems with him being there at all but I'm gald he didn't go over at half time

I dont wish to seem smug or **** but...

I tried to tell you lot this would happen ages ago.The problem with Dolan is he never wants to leave anywhere - he has to be pushed.Yes its true that he said "Pats are MY club,Cork is just a job".This was in repsonse to Pats fan who wanted to know why a year and a half after he was "SACKED" from Pats (yes sacked lads,it was made out like he left by himself to save face - somthing I dont agree the club should have done) and he came out with this speel about how he wud be back ar Richmond- over my dead body and I know Im not alone in that.

Its no secret Dolan hates Rico,goes back to when he managed Shels.He will hang around for as long as the cork fans will let him,and if its like Pats there will always be the "howiya Pat,ur a great man"brigade as there was in Richmond but they wil soon get the message to button it if told.He will enjoy the fact that hes causing Rico grief by being there.My advice to you lads is blank him and maybe let him know he should do one and let Rico manage the team.To try state hes a fan of cork is crazy,Dolan is a fan of himself - nobody else.

Like it or not he will be at the Shels game on Monday, he now works for Satanta tv .

Well Dermo shels are playing on Tuesday but I see what your getting at :p

Dolan was also at the Shels UCD game too so I wouldnt read too much into it. Roddy was at the Shels game too. Managers in the league tend to go to many games and also when they have been sacked they are probably not used to all the free time on their hands!!

I think it's about time we said, "enough is enough."

If I was sacked from where I work would you all be carrying on like this? I didn't think so. If I was sacked from where I work I wouldn't hang around outside all day, harassing my boss. So why is Dolan doing it?

We all need to just let go now.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Well said. If someone got the sack and waited around the car park for even half and hour the Gardai would probably be called, but then football is different from a normal job.

Dolan should be more than welcome anywhere including the Cross when he's there for Setanta or any other TV channel, but if he shows up on Friday night and decides to come into the Shed, then it will cause alot of trouble. This means 1. He know's exactly what he is doing, which leads me to think that he was definitely up to something before he got the sack, or 2. The "Pat can do no wrong" brigade are telling him he is more than welcome to come back, and all City fans want him back etc.

Alot of anger on the official forum is being directed at members of the club management committee because they are "ruining the club", yet nobody seems to be able to say exactly what they are doing to ruin it. Seems to me that there is a smeer campaign going on.

I hope that Friday night passes off without any incidents or trouble. It will certainly be an eye opener for a few people when they realize they don't have quite the support they think they have.

It kinda reminds me of the Office after David Brent got the sack and he was still hanging around, very very sad.

Not even your fellow Pats fans take what you say seriously so why should any of us?

You've always been obsessed with hating Dolan. Off you go now, nobody here wants to hear your pathetic ramblings.

I think eurosaint is spot on with that last post by the way.....he's not renowned for subtley buy he's hit the nail firmly on the head here. Does Ranieri stand behind Murinho's dugout at Stamford Bridge? Keep a discreet distance would be teh class thing to do - but class and dolan dont go together

I look forward to his next PR firm job of "lets meet the fans again....just to say thanks for turning up to the last meet the fans do......"

talk about hanging about like a bad smell :rolleyes:

I think there's more than a grain of truth there to be honest.
