It's in the Bray People this week and just got a club text through about it.
"Pat Devlin has confirmed Bray are set to bid for Robbie Doyle: We are prepared to bid for Robbie, he is a good player and would improve our squad"
Chance would be a fine thing ! Maybe Bray being a bit cheeky with Pats biding for Eamo last week ? but the 2 lads up front would be quality ! :D
Drogs have also said that they are interested in a double bid for Robbie and Keith Fahey
Just back from my lunch after reading the same thing in the paper. Personally I don't like Robbie Doyle. He's an arrogant **** & already snubbed Bray at the start of the season for Pats. But your right Zayed and Doyle up front would be quality!Quote:

And he didnt snub us, we couldnt offer him a full time contract so we didnt take the negoitations any further at the time cause we could not offer what St. Pats were giving him. Devo advised him that the Pats move would be better finincially
I don't know him personally but I know people that do and my opinion is based on what I’ve heard from them. On the pitch he is a very talented player, there’s no denying that.Quote:

I had a feeling alright....... :rolleyes: 2 many begrudging ar*eholes in Ireland, especially Bray.Quote:

What footballer is'nt in the game to get what they can from it, it's not as if they can retire at 65 from playing ball !
Can't imagine Doolin signing Robbie after their fall out at UCD.Quote:

There is no doubt (and i'm sure even you would agree with this Roo) that Robbie is quite fond of himself and loves the attention that comes with him being a top footballer. So to anyone who doesnt know him that can come across as arrogance. However this is definitely not the case.
He'll openly chat to anyone, and is as approachable as any footballer can be. He is a sound man with a great sense of humour. So get to know the person before you slag the enigma.
PS: Robbie is regularly seen in the Carlisle Grounds watching first team and under 21 matches. He openly supports the club and to say he snubbed Bray is completely untrue.
I was under the impression he fell out with Devlin before joining UCD but i'm sure Roo knows a bit more about the whole situation
Question for you Zayed9;Quote:

Put yourself in Robbie's shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all I'll say is awaiting developments with interest.....(talk is flying between the pats crew.....yeoooooouch is all i can say at this stage..... :D )
That’s fair enough, only going on info I’ve heard. Every player wants to further their career and will go were the money is which is fair enough cos their only trying to make a living. I heard he was taking the **** big time looking for Hollywood wages. Anyway if we do sign him, he'll do well for us!Quote:

speaking as a Pats fan - Robbies a good bloke and good player - a natural swagger and mickey taking personality rubs some folk up the wrong way - but taken on his merits he's not a bad 'un, far from it
They didnt really have a fall out, more of a disagreement, but what player doesnt have disagreements with his manager ! They are still very friendly with eachother.Quote:

I do think he is a good player and him and Zayed would do well together.
Don't know Robbie myself but I see him around Bray and in the Carlisle often, now as I said I don't know the guy so my opinion of him counts for little but I reckon that he's a nice guy. Fond of himself yeah but a genuinely nice bloke. I'd love to see him back at Bray but I reckon that the bid is just Devo playing a little game with Pats after their cheeky bid for Zayed. But as I said, t'would be great to see Robbie back.

this deal better not happen. robbie has been our best player this season and from what i have seen over the past year he likes playing for St. Pats and would sign a new contract if it was offered to him.
doyler is also one of the nicest guys playing in the eircom league. i have met him a few times around dublin and he loves to talk with fans and he knows his stuff. anyone who hasnt met the guy and says otherwise is a ****
Yeah just like yoursQuote:

I'd like to second that :)Quote:

Johnny McDonnell is insistent that striker Robbie Doyle is staying with the Saints despite speculation that he was leaving the club.
"The nature of the transfer window is that rumours breed other rumours and they take a life of their own. I would ask fans to wait until the window closes and then see what we have actually done before they leap to judgement. My absolute priorities are to make the squad stronger and the team perform better." said the Manager
Thats funny ! Johnny Mc said the same thing to Robbie himself, yet he was at the same time contacting clubs to see if they were interested in buying him......Quote:

One day they are trying to buy Zayeed, and now it seems they are trying to sell Doyle and Fahy.

just a quick comment on fahs - he has been under performing for us all season and will be no great loss based on that form.
In fairness Fats is'nt the only one who has'nt preformed for Pats this season, there are some big name players there who just hav'nt preformed. Players like Fats can't be replaced very easily.Quote:

So are you confirming that Johnny Mc wants to sell him????Quote:
