    Sean Connor doesn't believe in central midfielders. His outfield formation is a rectangle.

    A really stupid appointment by Dundalk. A club with real potential and they have learned nothing from the Bohs experience. BTW I was glad he took Bohs a quarter mill, the two Gerrys deserve it. Saw a fair bit of his last season at Sligo, he really is full of bull and a pure actor (pr background). Anyway fair play to him for getting one of the best jobs going these days.

    Refresh my memory. When was he found out any other time?

    As a Dundalk fan, I am as happy as a dioxin-free pig in the brown stuff.

    And I've stuck up for the Gerrys where exactly? Two wrongs don't make a right etc. etc.

    Connor is a dishonest spoofer... whatever the Gerrys have done does not change that fact.

    The worst thing is he is a decent manager. He done a good job to lead us to the first division title. He seemed to get on with the fans aswell, i rember him stepping on the suporters bus after a defeat to dublin city and with passion promising us the first division title.

    Most rovers fans are a bit sore at him "jumping ship" to bohs but it was the way he done it before and after. He is let down somuch by his ego. As was said his constant name dropping (prepare to hear of a link with dundalk and wigan/birmingham city) I won't judge him yet, i think with everything to do with the bohs fiasco he should realise that if he messes up, then he won't get into management again.

    We'll see how he gets on, also will depend a lot on the quality he brings in. Most on oriel web appear to be fine with the appointment.

    I didnt notice a lot of better options out there that are currently available.

    For me, i`m willing to judge him on results with us , nothing else matters, I`ve no interest about his personal stuff or history with other clubs

    I'd say Connors will have something to say about that. He'll think he was hard done by and it could be exactly what Dundalk need.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Well there's certainly an element of comic suffering about the situations they find themselves in..

    Read the bohs forum and you'll find out a bit about them. Basically they're being found out to be lying bastads....

    Eh, would that not be the Tom and Tom Show from the picture.

    There's a thought. Tom The Gom and Tom McGurk together in a half hour light chat show with Lucy Kennedy reporting from Mumbai...
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Connor is a spoofer. He has a great eye for a player but his man management skills are about zero. Fitness was a big issue last year. Burns & Fenn in particular were overweight throughout the whole season & nothing was done about it. Several Bohs players will tell you (not just Owen Heary) that no manager ever game them as much time of as Connor did

    He can certainly talk the talk, nearly up there with Roddy in that regard. I'm sure he will mention his connections in England with the fans. (Players can expect a good luck card from Steve Bruce before the season starts )


    While he did get bohs to third place he did it by playing some of the most boring football ever seen at dalymount. We had loads of clean sheets under Connor but scored f**K all goals as it was a case of everyone defend deep so as not to concede. It seemed not losing was more important than winning
