I wonder how many times he will mention in the press conference that he won the double with Bohs in 2000/01?
I wonder how many times he'll mention KaiserslauternQuote:

Has there been confirmation anywhere of this appointment?
"He's a great player; I spotted him two years ago and recommended him to Gretna"
Shut up Roddy.
Double winners and current table toppers a "an absolute joke" ? Georgie Boy, Dave Rogers, Seanie Connor - really should think (if thats possible) before throwing round the "absolute joke" lines.Quote:

Hi all this is James from Floriana - Malta...
First of all i read this topic and i decided to give you some detailed info about FLORIANA FC - Malta's most successful football club ever!
Floriana FC were founded in 1894 and is the oldest club in Malta. The team plays in green and white and we are nicknamed "The Greens" or "The Irish" due to a friendly match organized in the club's foundation years against the Dublin Fusiliers. Floriana supporters tend to have a number of irish flags in league matches. Floriana's badge is green and white striped (horizontally) with the lion in the middle as the club's emblem. The club won 25 league titles over its history and the FA Trophy 18 times and Floriana holds different records like 4 consecutive league titles etc... Floriana's main rivals are Valletta and Sliema Wanderers altough the real rivalry is the one between Floriana and Valletta. In recent years Floriana struggled financially and the club is enduring one of its darkest times and titles are not so frequent like in the past. Floriana's last league title was won in 1992-93 season.
As you all know Floriana appointed Mr.Roddy Collins as their new manager as local reports are saying he was sponsored by some irish investors. As i read about Mr.Collins my first impression was that he is a controversial figure but determined and a huge motivator and that what Floriana really needs at the moment! A real character to get the club where it really belongs and Floriana hope this will be the right choice! If there are some of you interested in any particular details about Floriana or maltese football i shall reply any question you post in.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post
Don't want to criticise your English but it's spelt "chancer."Quote:

3) He's spineless and lacking in any integrity. He'll leave your club in the lurch at the first sign of trouble (as he did with club's in Ireland when he got them into the relegation zone).
Good luck with him - you'll need it.

Ha ha nice one..its unbelievable how many times he gets that into interviews or articles!!...will be sacked and back on MNS before the end of the season!!Quote:

I dont wish any disrespect to your club but if this doesnt work out then i cant wait for Roddys excuses.
fair play to roddy delighted he got a job - in fairness the tv mns won't be the same without him but glad he's back in football
Good post James/Floriana, nice to get the points straight. When you see everyone coming with the same opinion it means one of two things - 1. they're all right, or 2. they're all wrong. Now go and find 100 people and get them to agree on the same thing ;) Roddy was/is a good manager, he has the respect of almost all his former players and for one I'd like to wish him well. He was stitched up by one pretty nasty individual but I'm sure in malta he won't have to put up with this. Remember that we Irish hate success, especially for others!! :)
No refunds!Quote:

Floriana have got themselves a first class manager. Best of luck to Roddy and I hope things work out.

I believe he was talking about himself Steve
it wasnt about the time that roddy got the sack at shamrock rovers and there was controversy about it? I was confused by this too and had to rewind it a few times to hear what rodstir was on about..:confused:Quote:

According to the Star he plans on bringing George O'Callaghan with him to Malta
Quote:
I've great admiration for George O'Callaghan. George for me has underachieved. He went and played in the championship with Ipswich but he has underachieved since he came back badly. I had a chat with him. George would be happy to move down with his partner and his baby. George to me is what Paddy McOurt was when I picked him upfrom Rochdale's reserves. George can be a top player. If he is played in the right way and given the right management he will be an absolute legend

is george reduced to playing in the malta league...sad state of affairs. that boy badly wasted his talents.
maybe a move away is the best thing for him. He was always going to be haunted by his past anyway if he was to stay in this country.Quote:

A gamble from Roddy to make him one of his 3 non Maltese signings
