What Eircom League Person do you hate the Most?

Eddie Gormley's the best player i've ever seen in this country....

Anyway my hate list
Ollie (miles above anyone)
All refs (particularly the McKeowns and Hancock)
David Crawley

Why is Noel King so hated? He is irritating but an entertainer and he has the best wishes of the league at heart. His page in the Derry Journal every week is almost totally dedicated to the league and often very critical of the F.A.I in their running of the league.

Hatelist
-Felix Healy
-By far the most hated has gotta be all officials but Deering and Duddy are pure scum.
-Forde.
-Don O riordan

It was said he bit him, but I don't think he did a Tyson.
Vicious all the same. Should have a dedicated ref following him around the pitch with cards in hand.

Ollie "Twenty Rothmans" Byrne

Shoddy "New Car" Collins

Pat "The Poisonous Dwarf" Fenlon

Anthony "Referee?" Buttimer

Most Shamrock "Whiter Than White - Allegedly" Rovers "fans" (there are a few who are ok though)

Ollie Byrne
Entire TV3 team
Louis Kilcoyne
Tony McGuire
Every ref Ive seen so far
Usually Roddy but letting him off for now

Roddy Collins
Alan Reynolds
Trevor Molloy
Shane Robinson
Damien Richardson
Paul Tuite and that little linesman with no neck......

After the match last night, Ian Stokes, Rhona Daly (ever hear of her?), some midget of a linesman who was known as 'the Troll', Roy O'Donovan and Joe Gamble. :mad:

Trevor Molloy.

I'd be the first to say what a good player O'Callaghan is,but he's scum and a cheat. Dolan drives me mad with him stupid comments working for Setanta. Sooner he gets another job, the better.

O'Callaghan "scum" - this from a Waterford fan whose hero is Reynolds???????:D:D

O'Callaghan "cheat" - this from a Waterford fan whose team are the biggest divers, time-wasters and hachet men in the league???????:D:D

Now that I've recovered from that bout of comedy and got back up off the floor, I'll repeat that you don't hate O'Callaghan or City, you are simply jealous. Small time clubs are always jealous of their big neighbours.....:D

If you don't think o'callaghan is a diver, maybe you should actually watch him diving. All the practice he gets, you would think he would be good at it by now. :p
You think i'm jealous??? I seem to remember the match in the RSC, oh yes, i believe it was 2-0 to City at one stage, What was the final score????

I would have siad that the other way around. Farrell very competitive, no pulling out of tackles and at times like a man possessed giving 210%. Gormley a competitor who on ocasions (some would say many) let his temper get the better of him.

Anyway.

A Buttimer
A Reynolds
Paul Keegan
Trevor Molloy
Rhona Daly
Feighery
G O'Callaghan

There's probably more but they've escaped my memory at present.

:ball: People within the league who dont do enough to promote the league.

Whingy supporters.

Hate isnt the word i would use to describe my feelings towards the above.Irritate would be more like it

Pat Fenlon
Richie Baker
Olly Byrne
David Crawley
Dave Rodgers..ah lets forget naming them all....Shelbourne FC... :D

Oh and Waterford are an extremely close 2nd... ;)

Pat Fenlon (whingy ****)
Dave Rogers (scumbag... started on 16 y/o after Bohs match)
Tony O'Dowd
Roddy Collins (only because he went to Rovers... don't really mind him otherwise)
Paul Doolin
Glen Crowe (Have a guess)
Colin Hawkins (I was actually glad he was taken off our hands after he single handedly caused our exit from Europe last year. He's a total useless over rated ******)
Bobby Ryan (Again, I was glad he was taken off our hands, Harkin is twice the player he'll ever be)
Paul McKeon, Anthony Buttimer, Stokes, Jim O'Neill...
Alan Reynolds
Eamonn Collins
Robbie Doyle (sorry... but he's a ******)
Simon Webb (good player, but a total tosser)
Pat Devlin
Jason Byrne (and his wife)

Funnily enough, I actually quite like Ollie and Dolan :eek:

Pat Devlin
Hugo Whoriskey

One of those things that Bray/Non-Bray fans are never going to agree on.

Just to clear a few things up.........

Devo is NOT an agent, as it is against EL rules. He advises people when they ask him for it. There is a major difference there.

Articvle from a few years ago in the Bray People:

An 18 year association with English Football Clubs came to an end this week as Pat Devlin has decided to take a break from scouting of players going across the channel.

Im no longer connected with any UK club revealed the Bray Wanderers boss who has been heavily involved with three of the biggest English clubs since the mid 1980's.

My contract with Newcastle United ran out in July of this year. It was totally amicable. At the moment, I'm happy to stay independent for the time being revealed Devlin. I've enjoyed my time being involved with Newcastle, Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool. I've met some great people and made good friends.

The Seasiders supremo has taken his own decision to take some time out. I've had a couple of offers but haven't taken any of them up. It's a change in my own personal policy. I have different thoughts on some matters. It's possible in the near future that I might go in new direction in the whole area of schoolboys and youth football.

It was back in 1985 when Devlin was approached by Liverpool, then under Bob Paisley, to become their contact in Ireland. I took up the offer because nothing was happening in the South Dublin/Wicklow area at that time.
During the next few years, he struck up a strong friendship with Merseyside and Celtic great Kenny Dalglish, a bond that stands firm to this day. I followed Kenny to Blackburn Rovers but only after taking a year out. We had some great times.

The two linked up again in July of 1997 in a much publicised fanfare at Lansdowne Road when Newcastle lifted the inaugural Carlsberg Trophy. It culminated in the birth of the Schools of Excellence in Bray, Arklow and Sallynoggin which were sponsored by the Magpies.

One of his best moments was the signing of both Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given and left winger Damien Duff to the Ewood Park based club. It was unbelievable. It was a fantastic experience for both of them and I was honoured to have been part of that.

His biggest regret however was Liverpool's decision not to take Roy Keane's current international midfield partner Mark Kinsella onto their books. Devlin was also involved at some point in Steve Staunton and Jeff Kenna's careers. I've been very involved over the years but with the change of management at St. James Park, I opted to go down another road. I'm now totally independent confirmed Devlin.

But he stressed Im still available to help anybody considering making such a move with advice, both to them and their families if needed, towards helping them make decisions which could be of benefit.

Roo69 the article states he gave up scouting and there was never a law to stop managers being scouts sure he was a scout since 1986 so no law broke at law. You say he is an advisor correct you are but just to bring you up to speed by being down as an advisor it covers him legally from being called an agent also quick question how did he get near £850,000 sterling out of the Duff deal to Chelsea? No matter what way you look at it he's an agent.

In fairness i have no problem with scouts My dislike of Devo comes from some rather unkind remarks he made about Monaghan not deserving to be in the same league as Bray. He was less than charitable about the club. Those Bray fans who were at CHP last season will also know that he was completely off the mark.

I presume your talking about the setup at CHP. You can have all the setup you want but still be shíte on the pitch. Monaghan fans always seem to go back to how good their setup is, but very rarely talk about how crap they are on the pitch.

I don't know what his name is, but my hate figure is the person who makes a complete arse of the fixture list every year. He still hasn't copped that Irish teams play European football. Pure gob****e.

I could be here all night with this one... :D

Right.
Pat Fenlon. - Sums up Shels' arrogance that runs through the club.
Paul McKeon. - He should never be let ref another Rovers match.
Jason Byrne. - He just tries too hard to show off
Jimmy O'Neill. - See McKeon :D
Dick O'Hanlon - See above.
John Caulfield. - He couldn't stop harming Rovers. :rolleyes:
Liam Coyle. - See above. :D

I could go on.....and on and on and on.. :eek:

Just something I'd like to know....

How old is that interview? I can't remember Kinsella playing for the past year, at least.

You forgot Alan Kelly

Im kinda surprised our own Barry Ferguson hasnt got as many mentions as some!
*I've just reminded people about him*

I don't like Barry Fergusson only because I think he's a complete long ball merchant, Longford are painful to watch at times despite having a good footballing side and it's mainly down to him from the bits I've seen of Longford.

I hate the site of seeing Barry Ferguson playing for LTFC. Paiso and Dillo are the best combination we have.

I was talkin more about people thinking he is a dirty player a bully etc. I, myself think he is just an aggressive defender ;)
