Ollie Byrne taken to hospital

Just heard from a very reliable source that it is very serious.
Get well soon Ollie.
Wouldnt wish illness on anyone

I know the current situation at Shels is Byrne's doing but the amount of pressure he must be under to attempt to rectify it is tremendous. I wish him a speedy and full recovery if possible.

Best wishes to Ollie, here's to his health and a speedy recovery!

Get well soon Ollie,

Hope u are fit and well for the start of the new season.

Get well soon Ollie.

Today FM reporting Ollie has a brain tumour.

Get well soon Ollie.

Just to add my best wishes also.

Hope you pull through Ollie, really puts things in perspective. If the tumor news is true it is lucky for him that he got a warning rather then the affect of the tumor.

Best wishes to Ollie for a full recovery.

TV3 reported that he was to have a scan to determine if surgery was needed on a brain tumour that he had suffered. Very serious illness and nothing you'd wish on anyone. I'm sure the staff at Beaumont will do their best for him.

Reports this morning have suggested that former chairman Finbar Flood may take over the running of Shelbourne FC while chief executive and owner Ollie Byrne remains sidelined by illness. Byrne was taken ill and hospitalized on Tuesday and while his condition remains unclear, it seems unlikely he will return to his day to day duties anytime soon.

Flood was chairman until during the 2006 season when he left the post for unspecified reasons. The task of taking at least temporary control of the club is not an easy one though as Ollie Byrne in effect ran every aspect of the club.

The power vacuum at Tolka Park has again sparked worries over player's futures and clouded the managerial picture further. Glen Crowe looks set to be the next player on his way out and unless Drogheda United spring a late surprise, seems destined for a return to Bohemians.

Best wishes to Ollie. Like so many others, I've had run-ins with him, but that happens and is not important at a time like this, and I certainly hope he recovers soon.

Get well soon Ollie!

Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. It must be a very very difficult time for Ollie trying come to terms with this illness while his life's work is collapsing around him. He has all my sympathy, regardless of anything he has said or done in the past.

Come on Ollie win the most serious match of your life and bounce back like before.

All the best Ollie , we all know that you are a survivor and strong enough to overcome this - kinda puts everything else in perspective.

I'll add my best wishes on here as well. Get well soon Ollie

Pull through it Ollie... all the best.

just shows how much of ollie has gone into shels.. get well and return to being the pain in the arse we all know and love.
