:mad: thats because he left the team he was managing to manage the team they were battling relegation with. Only in League of Ireland could that happen.:rolleyes:

Well as for Roddy never being relegated the Stats may well say that, but ask anyone at Belfield who was responsible for UCD going down in 2003 and we all say Doolin even though he jumped ship in game 21. We had picked up so few points in the first 21 games that even a miraculous turnaround under Pete Mahon where on form we were the 4th best team over the last section of the season was unfortunately not enough to save us!
lets face it without people like roddy and pat the eircom league would be a sadder place thank god for fools they make people like me look good
Think he might have been angling for the Cork job with some of things he said on TV today.
The man is beneath contempt.
Shame Alan Ball didn't know that.

Of all the managerial crimes he committed, his despicable behaviour at Rovers is what's really keeping him out of work at the moment. His failure to train the players throughout the season and his blatant disregard for the future of the club won't be forgoten any time soon by Chairmen all over Ireland. If he's capable of that he's capable of anything.
