    Speaking from a personal opinion I have never been particularly excited by the brand of football his teams play. It was probably no coincidence that Stuart Malcolm had arguably his two best games for Finn Harps against Scully's Shamrock Rovers team and Paul Doolin's Drogheda side. Given that Malcolm was hopeless on the deck but would have headed a meteorite it appears both managers' focus on the long ball played into Malcolm's hands!

    I appreciate that the players in the League of Ireland may not share the technique of their Brazilian counterparts but I still think managers should encourage a game plan based on passing and off the ball movement rather than aimless hoofing.

    If it they can get to Gareth Farrelly and Mahon, there's few who can handle it.

    Fenlon, Keely, Connor, Doolin, Matthews, Scully, Roderick...no surprises really

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    He works by making young players or journeymen afraid of him. Cannot handle first-team stalwart players who stand up to him.

    Billy Morgan. Remember that rumour last year?Christ that would have been almost as bad as having Roddy as manager.

    I heard that if you look in a mirror and chant "Roddy Collins" five times, he comes out through the TV screen when you're dreaming.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

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