Nice to see you addressing the points raised again there Ez.
In breaking news Leo varadker has asked shamrock rovers fans to stop chanting " in your inchicore slums" at st Patrick's athletic supporters , apparently he thinks it is very hurtful and really shows an insecurity of rovers fans 're conditions in Tallaght. Recommended chants for all clubs from now on are GO ROVERS GO or some similar inofensive chant. All banter is banned as the snowflakes are melting and no one should comment about other teams. Comments on your own team should be positive and encouraging in nature and respective of diversity.
Diversity in this case to be where on player is good and one player is crap.
That's very embarrassing stuff from McNulty. He just comes across as a yob. Is this what he's normally like? The fact that he hadn't been drinking obviously makes it even worse. No excuse at all for this type of brutish behaviour.
Racist remarks a few weeks ago = Barely a word
McNulty sings a song as a mess= Full inquest and a psychological report of why he would do such a thing.
Never change Foot, never change.
If there is any insecurity here I think its coming from the fans who are over analysing 6 words from a player who just won the league. No one in Cork is spending this much time worrying about Dundalk right now
Are you sure?Quote:

I hope this is the case. I would also hope that everyone connected with Dundalk FC is thinking about nothing but Cork City, it's the only thing that matters right now.Quote:

Jaysus, the comments have certainly rattled a few dalk fans thats for sure. I think some may need to start going to rugby matches for more gentlemanly behaviour.
P stu, raises a good point also re the Internet age and taking offence. I'm sure this kind of thing has happened for years prior to camera phones and not a word said about it. He was clearly referencing his drunk rant last year and making a joke of it.
As for insecurities, City and dalk have been 1 & 2 for the last 4 years. There is bound to be needle between the two sets of players (be it captured on camera or not). Needle adds a bit of spice to football IMO. Man utd v Arsenal, Keane v Vieira was the golden age of epl IMO. The needle there did no harm for the game.
Matches between City and dalk will always have something on the line, with one team trying to avenge a previous loss (a match, a league, a cup etc). I'm sure the dalk players have a plenty of motivation, without the McNulty video. It would be disappointing for their fans if they didn't.
Yes that's sound logic alright! Look forward to Rovers competing at the club world cup in 5 seasons with Bradley at the helm 👍Quote:

That was with longford town who at the time were perennial bottom 2 side of the forst division. If you are going to make comparison then at least compare like with like. Or maybe rovers are the modern day longford townQuote:

I know Longford were consistently rock bottom at the time but I was expecting youd be aware with the nature of the first division in that where you finish the year before is no indicator of where youll finish next season. Thus i ignored the fact he took over a poor Longford.Quote:

Fair comment and he has improved in terms of the press.
There is no chance of him getting moved aside for Kenny though. Next season with triming around the edges rather than wholesale changes will be interesting.
Actually while the truce between us exists I'd say that I'd give kieth long the manager of the year award. It's not a given the league winner gets it (Michael o Neil) didn't get it at rovers). Caulfield probably deserves it for cocsistant effort and finally getting there but bohs were a lot of people's tip for the drop pre season.
Was chatting about this earlier too. Long has done a great job.Quote:

True he can be a bit mad sometimes but he was class st that time. Over full season he got Derry to Europe and played some decent football. Still reckon you'd have to give it to long.
Any harps fans opinion on McCourt..every match I saw him he was superb. Hope he keeps playing....can't see him playing division 1
Really depends on how interested he is. The obvious one and would great to see would him being back at Derry. But while in the 1st Division he would get kicked around the place, he has coped well enough before with lumps being kicked out of him with Luton. He could tear that league up if he keeps any way fit and motivated.Quote:

That'll be two Cabo and Ucd matches I'll be hoping to make....clashes allowing.
He was great for us easily our best player and that's with playing with an injury a lot of the time, can't see him staying though I'd guess if not Derry he may well just retire read recently he and Marty McCann were launching their new academy, Sligo were rumoured to be interested but couldn't see him travelling that far couple of times a week to train.
Seems mad that he would retire. If I was you guys I'd ask him to keep himself fit at home and rock up for the matches.
Oh you rovers boys always fighting and arguing in rowsQuote:

Once you retire that's it
(Unless your Paul scholes ) he should go another year.
Well if you guys dont want him i for one will happily have him in Tallaght.Quote:

Agree with the sentiment regarding Long, some of the football Bohs play is really great to watch, wonder would they be a good bet for Europe qualification next season. As for Bradley, he comes across as a right moron in interviews.......is he really great behind the scenes?
