Roddy has a pop at Doolin

as drogheda fan, i dont think doolin will get the sack, as cosmo said the board have always backed doolin, loose a few next year well, could be a different story.
he does talk a lot of crap and he suits newstalk, man they are getting worse, they try to be a serious gealic station, now will try and be a rugby station, doubt if any rugby fans lsiten to them....even their premierhip coverage is getting worse, they used to be great leading up to irish games, not now though. anyway even rovers fans dont want roddy

thats proof if any were needed that bores fans are pathetic creatures

Pathetic creatures?
When was last time we stoned a bus full of kids
u muppet

a lot of rovers fans say roddy is wrecking rovers on and off the field - as a football team rovers astound me this year both in the freak wins they get like longford and the defeats they ship to harps - they're very unpredictable - and I'd never feel they were "safe" just yet - he could well end up wrecking them this season


maybe he can come up with a new "tactic" :D ....or a set piece

blah blah. are we going to go down the 'whose firm are worse' avenue? at least we are banning people, all your board do is drink with the bsc.
and the buses incident wasnt as simple as some gypos would like you to think.

as was said before, happy enough with rod on the park, give us our 8 points and we are safely mid table which was the goal for this season.
we always used to tank mid table fodder like longford and the bores, we just arent doing it every time anymore.
we are outrageously inconsistant. i mean we beat shels and lose to harps back to back. madness

beating longford doesnt astound me - but beating them after being behind and scoring 4 against them does!

than the losses to harps back to back! a punters nightmare rovers are

He said in the Star once that he'd love the Dublin Gaelic Football job at some stage. And to think, some people think Clive Woodward is egotistical.:eek:

Ah go easy on the Rod, he did a great job on Dublin City.
Look at his record with us...:mad: it speaks for itself.
Ask any Carisle fan they will say the same.

Roddy has relegated anyone yet i think mainly becuase he jumped or was pushed in time.

Yeah why is that? Thought he did an incredible job for you lot especially in Europe. It only took about 30 seconds after he got the job before he started the rebel army crap!!


KOH

Dolan set up the deal for Cork to lose one of their finest talents because of a clause that only a few people (including Dolan) knew about. He said he could never consider joining Waterford because of the "rebel army spirit" before erm..joining Waterford. The man is a prat and will take all the credit for himself if Cork win the league/the cup and/or Waterford stay up.

Yeah, someone stalling on a new contract, meaning that compensation wouldn't be due, just before walking out on a club that gave him his break in management should make him untouchable... :rolleyes:

i think his geography needs a lot of work
he does nothing for this league except put it down. he is a moron and that sh**e talk of celtic feeds into those moron rovers fans who wear celtic jerseys to el matches. celtic is a foreign team like it or not. i hate seeing foreign jerseys at el matches bought for 60 quid in lifestyle when our own clubs struggle for revenue. buy your own jerseys. support your home club. that is what el fans are about.
roddy collins makes a mockery of the league and the fans of both rovers and drogheda with his childish comments.

whats your highest ever finsih in the league?

He brought you from nothing to Europe, he won the league at boez and he's on for a unique treble with a Derry side that nearly got relegated not so long ago.

You're right he's an appalling manager:rolleyes:

I never said he was an appauling manager - I think he was underhand when he left and that overrides a lot of the good he did at the club (he left us as a sinking ship incidentally, which Lawlor steadied). I'd have him back ahead of a lot of the spoofers in this league, but if he was available I wouldn't sack Matthews (who's actually qualified us for Europe on our merit) for him*.

He's done good things, but he's a habit of bottling big games - he did for us and bohs and will no doubt will for Derry. Not by losing games, but by making silly decisions that effected the outcome.

*A lot of Town fans would, but they're just the type who'd be taken in for Dolans guff if he ever managed us either.
