everyone baying for blood, "lets hope those Rovers cnuts go the same way the last 3 league winners went", god forbid the league should have a successful club on and off the field....depressing reading a lot of the posts on here.
are you serious? You need to re-read the thread. There is one, maybe two, negative posters in five pages. Perhaps what is really depressing you is the figures in the Rovers accounts.Quote:

Very good Stu, at least someone here has attempted some proper analysis. I'm not going into details on private club accounts but I will say the operating loss last year was absolutely nothing to do with us paying big wages.Quote:

Judging by the Ultras forum I reckon I've more Rovers mates than you ;)Quote:

Another one of your spoofs busted...
Not a spoof, nor busted. I have my fair share of "mates" on our mb, and I get on well with all of them.Quote:

None of which negates the fact that your board outlined the financial problems they were facing and asked members to cover it by advancing subscriptions.
Ok, you can keep parroting that as a rather desperate example of perceived financial "trouble".
I've nothing more to add on that specific issue.
Ohh the irony.Quote:

But sure if worst comes to the worst we can do a Derry on it.
Under a grand, ha!!Quote:

Yes, yes boo Hoo its not fair, slagging Shels, Drogs, Cork, and especially Bohs GOOD but to suggest anything nasty about the shams is just. so. wrong !!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Gotta hand it to them the rent boys are always good for a laugh (unfortunately no trophies for that either).

This is gas.
Yet more jealously and bitterness towards SRFC. Get a grip the lot of ye, you think you know more then the club themselves. Its just a bit of debt, they'll handle it.
Also find it funny when Bohs fans slag Rovers off when their club is going down the ****ter.
Its just a bit of debt and they've lost money every year they've been running it....Quote:

except for MB, which Bohs fans are slagging Rovers off?Quote:

Common sense says that no organisation can continue indefinitely with an increasing debt burden every year. You don't need to dust off your rocket science degree to understand that.Quote:

Though knowing this site, sadly that day won't be arriving soon..
Yeah because most folk on this site are anti-rovers, for some strange reason.Quote:

Are you for real? Look back on the Istreali thread, or the Juventus one, or the many tallaght threads. There are peple who hate Rovers, but most don't. Fans of most clubs feel everyone is against them when its clearly not the caseQuote:

And unfortunately some people on here jumped right on it and made it into something that it's not, i.e. news! Surely this thread has run its' course, particularly as it has gone down the road of most other threads regarding Rovers.
Well, no, it's not. It's based on Rovers' balance sheet, as posted earlier in the thread. Yes, that mayn't tell you enough to make judgement calls on, but it's at least more solid information than a random newspaper article.Quote:

"fans slag off opposition on message board" - shock, horror, gasp whatever next :confused:
Invariably wrong? You know quite well we've been right all along about what you're board we're doing but you all just buried you're heads up your collective arses and denied everything. Tony Maguire was a disgrace as our Chairman, leaving small businesses without payment etc. But we stopped funding the club, forcing him and his cohorts out, and started from scratch again. Your members will be asked once again to fund the idiots in charge of your club and once again the sheep will obey through fear, instead of facing facts. The fact that we 'went down the toilet' and are back at the top again is surely something to be proud of, so who wants to rewrite history? And as members we'll have the balls to ensure the club never goes back to the dark days under the previous board. Ps, the jealousy and bitterness does exist from you, whatever you say on here, because of where both our clubs are going. Nothing to do with 'history'. Btw, glad to see Sundays hiding is still fresh on your mind :DQuote:

Obviously, CRO accounts don't give the full picture, but they do give an indication. It would be disappointing if Rovers weren't being especially prudent (given their, and the leagues history) and operating on a break even basis.Quote:

So much to be proud of indeed :o keep burying your head.
PS I can get over the result Sunday if we go on and win the League - much like we did after losing at SDCC ground last season :cool: jealous ? of what ? no ground ? no throphy ? dont make me laugh.
Marino Bohs ask yourself one question, why is there less and less Bohs fans on here fighting Bohs corner. You are starting to sound more and more like comical Ali every day. You will be telling us the champions league group stages is still on any post now
So now you clowns want to write our posts as well ? (an inside source at Dalymount told me you are going to post.......). Actually talking more about shams on this thread than defending Bohs - as you know critising the rent boys is never allowed (we are all ABShams apparently). Do feel free to point out where I am saying Champions League group stages are still a possibility by all means but making up what I might say really reeks of desperation on your part.Quote:
