How far away is Malta? It is far away isn't it? Oh please god be far away.

It's far enough so that he won't be gracing our screens while he's working there. So let me be the first to wish Roddy lots of sucess with his new job.

God help them there!!!!

They finished bottom of the league on 16 points - 26 behind Hibernians and 9 behind the next best team!

Their league divides in two for the promotion and relegation and they were bottom of the top tier!

He is already talking about recruiting from here but they are only allowed 3 foreign players!

**superfrank** · 28/06/2009, 11:55 AM

3 foreign or 3 non-EU players?

Spot on. Good luck to him

Read a fair bit about Maltese football before. This crowd are one of a number of teams who call themselves Irish. Hibernians probably the most well known.

They have a St Patrick's in the lower league

We played them in the Intertoto back in 1995, i think. Delighted he's out of the league.

The job suit him.

no more roddy on MNS

**Dunny** · 28/06/2009, 4:15 PM

People might be happy to see him go but it will not be the same without him.

**Mayo Red** · 28/06/2009, 4:24 PM

Thank God, at least it'll keep the chancer off our tv screens for a while anyways, until he gets sacked that is!! His article in todays Star displays his usual flair for modesty, he was the first man to introduce full time football into the League of Ireland, and the agent that rang him used to be Youri Djorkaeffs agent etc etc!! May he stay far far away!

**weecountyman** · 28/06/2009, 5:06 PM

Interesting that George O'Callaghan is following him down (did he ever coach him?), rebuild two careers in one! For one I think he'll be a hit, he works hard, knows the game and deserves a break after what that chancer with umbro did. Good luck to the man!

**forza rovers** · 28/06/2009, 7:38 PM

sean connor your next.Then the league will be free of sum of the biggest Muppet's

**stamullendrog** · 28/06/2009, 9:03 PM

I've always wondered what the irish connection to Maltese football is all about.

Floriana's nickname is 'The Evergreen'.
