Heard from a reliable source Sean Doherty wants out of the club. Apparently they were chatting to him over the weekend and he said the club's a "shambles".
This was to a person who doesn't really even follow Rovers. Shame he couldn't keep it to himself.
Shame he's useless too.Quote:

A bit harsh considering he in no way contributed to making us play any better, he like Mauro spent alot of the time on the sidelines. And knowing that were down to the bear bones, he just leaves with less respect from the fans. Boco said were down to 16 players in training, he can now make that 15 it this is true :(. If Cookie lets him go i really hope he has something planned to replace some of these players, Ventre seems like a good replacement at CB but 2 arent enough considering our injuries and Ventre could easily get sent off again this season.
It has to be said, he does have a point. Sure didn't Boco basically say the same thing in a well dressed-up way?Quote:

To name but 3.
If an employer is experiencing problems then an employee is going to complain about it to someone. It's easy for us to say "he should keep his mouth shut", but when there are constantly obstacles in the way of you doing your best, it's hard to keep quiet about it.
Thats fair enough. But really there's nothing you can do about injuries, which has been our main concern this season. (Butler,Mauro) Of course there's something you can do about the discipline, but poor standard of refereeing does go towards that.Quote:

The thing is its the other way round Rovers want rid of Doherty. Why would he want to go? I dont see anyone knocking on the gate for him. He is more than likely usually injured and collecting a nice wage at the same time. When he is on the pitch you wouldnt notice him, stays away from the ball. He is mouthing off now because he knows his time has come.
He had his moments last season alright. It's just sickening when a barstooler with no interest in Rovers comes to you in a gloating way slagging off your club, and with the opinion of one of the club's players to back him up.
I was about to punch him in the face tbh!! But, in fairness, I have a problem with Doherty in all this really. As was said, you wouldn't mind if he was doing something on the pitch.
Jeez some people on here must think the club is about to go bust in the morning !Quote:
