How come the "Champions Elect" have no players in the Ireland B International squad? Has Ollie requested that they be excluded so as not to disrupt their charge to the title?
Congrats to Roy, Gamble, Deery and Ward, who did make the squad.

It was Pat Fenlon's request
Rather foolish really, when you consider that it would do your players good to get some practice on the Dalymount pitch. :DQuote:

You sure it was Fenlon's request? Deery is almost certain to be pulled from squad so why not let them be called up and get the associated good press before pulling them?
It would be a shame if Ward missed his chance to impress.Quote:

LOL @ shels not wanting to look stupid. About 6 years too late fintan.
Just read the bit about Fenlon being involved...
4 Leagues and 1 FAI CUP win in those 6 years - they're the looks that matter.Quote:

Only Shels players that could have been picked were Heary and Byrne IMO. Darren Quigley and Jason Gavin should have been picked as well.
Then why bring how it looks up?Quote:

:rolleyes:
and none won on the pitch "4 Leagues and 1 FAI CUP win in those 6 years - they're the looks that matter".
keep ure rubber medals shels, no one cares
They won't look too good if(when?) Shels go out of business.Quote:

I dont get the Ollie hysteria with most fans.
While Ollie the man wouldnt be my cup of tea
Ollie the Shels Chairman cant be faulted imo
He fights Shelbournes causes tooth and nail and goes through
every avenue to get them an advantage or to keep one
If he sees anything that would benefit Shels one iota hes onto it like
a flash.
He is obviously working 24/7 and probably knows the rulebook:rolleyes:
better than the FAI
Maybe Im wrong but Shelbournes demise is wishful thinking on alot of people's part as far as I can see and until someone shows me concrete proof I remain unconvinced.
Shels play some decent football and the Ollie Shels bashing is for one reason
IMO
Success They always hate you when your at the top
I think we should all go to the B international and wear are club colours and abuse Delaney (obiously bohs fans will also be abusing Nutsy)
That little fairytale will win you Supporter of the Year over in Shelsland. Shels are fooked, everyone knows it, Nutsy has said it in the press and senior players and Nutsy have been even more open in private converations.Quote:

Players not paid for 2 weeks, senior staf owed lots of back money, Tax Man owed cash, the list goes on. For a Rovers fan your naivety is astonishing.

As is yours if you believe he is serious:D :DQuote:

Wearerovers is spot on if anyone knows about money problems its rovers shels need to go back part time
Couldn't care less if he's serious or not, it was an attempt to get Fintan Cassidy to refute anything I've said about Shels in that post. He's been on this thread but he goes very quiet when Shels problems are mentioned.Quote:

Well I hate to break it to you NY we're on the verge of being Champions AGAIN, couldn't really be further away from the first division, could we???
You should also realise that although we're happy to take your rent, not many places would... Just something to think about.
With success comes hatred, sad really...
Thats what Juventus said too last year.Quote:

Shels are foooooked and I'm asking Fintan or Drumcondra Red or any of Ollie's sheep to challenge that assertion.
