Fair play and the correct decision. Just shows how much of a w@nker Roddy really is, I mean the people at Bohemians, Carlisle, Dublin City and Shamrock Rovers can't all be wrong! According to the radio this evening he is interested in the Newry job, if I were them I'd stay well away from him aswell. They'll only be another "stepping stone" back to his dream career across the water!:rolleyes:
The guy should just step back from it .... give it a rest a while. Even go off and get coaching badges or something but it aint working out for him right now. Everything he touches just goes to shíte !! Call it a fupping day for gods sake.
Well done.Quote:

That should be cheery news for the 4oo Club. Plenty of money there to throw away on lawyers.
Wildly off-topic, but hard to ignore!Quote:

Does this mean that no one with a job in a school, hospital, library etc. or who doesn't hold a RIRA membership card is welcome to join SRFC on its jamborees in the league's nether regions next year?

Would look closer to home there sunshine if you're slagging us about finances. Roddy hasn't got a leg to stand on and he knows it.Quote:

But Roddy is a serial compo claimer. If he wasn't a football manager he'd be driving around town looking for car crashes to lie down beside.

He was supended on full pay for a total of 12 days and was eventually sacked by the club yesterday after just over a year in charge.
But last night he insisted that Rovers would still be in the Premier Division today if he had been left in charge of the team.
"I could have kept them up. It was always going to be about effort over those two games but the lads were all down before they even started.
"The players knew what was going on. I had worked hard to get them things like proper kit and was even paying money out of my own wages to help them. They were on a downer when I was suspended," claimed Collins.
He is now looking for a new job after being fired yesterday by Shamrock Rovers following the conclusion of an internal investigation by the club's board of directors.
Collins' departure, which was widely forecast, was finally confirmed at 2pm yesterday when the club issued the following terse statement: "Following the conclusion of an internal investigation, the Shamrock Rovers FC board of directors has resolved to terminate the contract of Roddy Collins with immediate effect".
Collins still had another season left on his contract, which is believed to have been worth around €75,000 per annum, and said he has now placed the matter in the hands of his lawyers.
