    I was hoping he'd stay till Friday so we could embarass him and Sligo!
    NO, Colin Murphy quit on us in 2000 a few weeks after joining!

    That's a disaster. You would have thought they would have waited until the new lights were ready for certainty. When are you likely to have the new lights. Are you playing on Saturday afernoons or Sunday's in the meantime ?

    true, we thought shels, shams etc were bad...

    but at least we are not millions in debt... but with the board having a bad rep its going to be hard to get a manager of any calibre in

    TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

    The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    Assuming you mean Rovers, you're right. Our club really is in a mess and the sooner we get the board out the better
    False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.

    Apparently all the work on demolition of stands etc etc had to take place prior to the FAI releasing grant aid. But then again would ya believe anything they tell ya?

    No, a Longford fan told me that one of their managers left just before a season started having only signed for them.

    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    Fantastic news for anyone playing Sligo should be a easy 3 points. Unfortunitly Pats have to wait till 21/04/07 to play them. Total mess you along with Longford are my tip to go down but adleast Longford have a manager. Be Glad to see the back of you. You broke my Heart.

    I wouldnt say that at all , out of adversity comes strength , I still think we have a decent squad especially in midfield where we are very strong imo.
