A league without Ollie would be a wonderful thing. It would be a pity for the Shels fans if the club went under but getting rid of Ollie would brighten up my day...week...month...year...life.
Swap Ollie for Ronan Seerey and we'll all be happy. Say what you want about Seerey, at least he cares about the game.
It was seery who first took the issue of a replay to the FAI, after CHF didn't get into the playoff. He didn't succeed, but it extended the season for us and Harps. Niether bring anything positive to the league imo.Quote:

Ollie certainly didn't fold Dublin City FC and throw the league into turmoil. That was the start of all this rubbish. I hope no one associated with the running of that club is ever allowed near another league club in this country.
The Dublin City thing had NOTHING to do with Jason McGuinness or Sean hargan being suspended or played...
Agree that Seery shouldn't be allowed near football clubs though (Add him to the Duncan, Maguire and Plonk list)
Two words.Quote:

Secondly : Irrelevance. The timing of your home games only matters if your cash flow is absolutely fecked, which it shouldn't be mid-season. Anyways - if you had a decent relationship with your bank and really were in an awkward spot due to timings, they'd probably help you out on the understanding that roughly the same money is still due to come in, just on different timings. Also - losing one home gate to Dublin City should not be make-or-break for a club in Shels's position.
Finally - as your crowds clearly show, gate receipts are a tiny, tiny part of Shels's income, so to claim a lack of home games has put your club on a financial precipice is just laughable.
So Ollie is saving his cash now by not paying players so he can pay them in December & January?Quote:

Store Manager, Mr Don Ledaney has decided that you are to be penalised to the value of your weekly shopping.
In addition, he has ordered both you and Ollie need to re-perform your weekly shop within the next few days, in the interests of fair shopping.
Crikey, they'll have to extend the opening hours of the shopping centre for that to work.
Don't worry about that - what was in the trolley ?Quote:

But does RT have to give back the shopping he already got and try to buy it again? Or is this only so that Ollie gets the chance for a bit more shopping so as to have more than his neighbours?
He'll wait until the store closes to see how everyone else's shopping looks in comparison to his before deciding.Quote:

Ridden Rocket Solid.....
Anybody who brings the league into disrepute should have no place in it. Oily, seery, maguire and all the other charlatans should not be let within a mile of senior football in this country.
A convicted criminal is running one of the top clubs in the league and people are still making excuses for him. Oh dear:rolleyes:
KOH
Not sure if this is right place for this post but heard today Glen Crowe is on way back to Bohs and Heary is going that way too. Also Bohs look certs to sign Fenn and are taking a major interest in Gamble. Money bags Bohs, now all they need is a manager and sounds like Fenlon is now interested again. Interesting.
Where did you hear that?
Basically just an overheard conversation. What with the season coming to an end it's time to start the transfer speculation. Oh and if Stephen Kenny goes to Dunfermline I'd be very surprised if a few of his former Bohs players didn't follow.
Upon which you yourself Pat would be a shoe in for the Derry job.;) :DQuote:
