wws has been saying that for weeks...

Hold it i'm lost

. Someone explain it please.

Was Damian having a go at Pat or at Roddy?

**Dodge** · 11/05/2004, 1:27 PM

Rico and Roddy both having a go at Dolan (in response to his newspaper article having a go at them)

Yeah, classic stuff.
The eircom League needs a bit of spice and last night was pure entertainment.
No manager who isn't winning or at least challenging should be allowed to be comfortable in their position and the threat from out of work managers is to be expected. Might wake up a few managers. I doubt anyone outside of eircom League circles and many within it could recognise E Collins. He proved to be a crap manager and Pats are better off without him. The league doesn't need that. I'd love to see Roddy Collins in that job.

Yes I've read that article and of course it was aimed at Roddy but Rico can be lumped in there too.. Jeesh...

Pat, but most of it fitted Roddy just as well! I thought the two of them were great entertainment; if they could put some football into the show, it'd be perfect!

Do I remember rightly that the problem with Riachmond's gantry is that there's a ladder up to it or something?

Dolan's article was basically him having a go at Roddy while at the same time sticking up for Eugene. Rico should have and probably did realise this but was delighted to get the chance to have a go at Dolan.
Dolan was spot on with his comments, did anyone count the number of times Roddy mentioned "the rumblings at Derry"?

Entertaining show all the same though but a serious lack of match footage.

ouch, facts are he achieved more than dolan since bothe were appointed and given your nissan deal and our financial crisis that has to be worrying to honest and intelligent cork city fans!

i think the sh1t results and sh1t talkin dolan had talkin in recent weeks are puttin pressure on himself....kitchen, too hot, get out...comes to mind....as bad as rody is, he has won a double as a manager and is qualified to talk on irish soccer if you like it or not....

so as to stir it up - you can't leave issues like these aside for the sake of peace. if rico and roddy want a war of words, they can bring it but there is no point in them taking part if they are going to insist on shooting themselves in the foot.

Roddy basically suggested insecurity on Dolan's part but isn't that slightly missing the point? not even anti-dolan city fans or the bitterest of pats fans could possibly suggest that Dolan was worried when Shoddy suggested he had his eye on a couple of potential vacancies.

that pikey seriously believes Dolan, thru voicing an opinion, was deflecting off a personal threat - now i know our gaffer is accused of residing on another planet at times but surely collins is as guilty, if not more, of being away with all sorts of fairies.

and then mr sanctimonious comes out with this "distasteful" rubbish!! people thought Noddy and Noel King were kissing each others dicks - that was nothing compared to this.

Well apart from glorious league cup "triumph"

all he's succeeded in doing is getting sacked.

Did anyone think that Dolan having a go at Roddy could have been anything to do with that whole thing Roddy said in the echo about "Move Dolan upstairs and give Dave Hill the city job".

Our Dublin neighbours may not have seen this.

**max power** · 11/05/2004, 4:10 PM

well almost every week dolan uses the show to talk through him backside for a few minutes, he's under pressure because of the results not because of anything rico or rody say....

That was ages ago and those of us on these forums knew about it.

All 3 of them are famous for talking through their arses and all three of them love the attention they lavish on each other.

Let them get on with it and let us enjoy the show...

I don't think it's unfair to say that E Collins was a virtual unknown in Ireland.

Also, going back to what you said with regard to the lack or success on the part of Dolan, you'll see by reading my post that I included all managers who weren't successfull of challenging for honours. That includes PD.

Wouldn't say Dolan is under pressure.
He is definitely here for a least another season, unless he leaves himself.
Just because a few tools at "De Echo" who show up at 1 or 2 games a season stir things, doesn't mean his job is under any kind of threat.
Dolan talks a lot of sh*te, but why do TV3 have him on?
Because he can talk, whether its sh*te or not. Would you prefer to be put to sleep by Scully?
No matter how much sh*te Dolan talks, its nowhere as bad as the drivel that spews out of Roddy. No matter what he did in the past, his attitude to the eL NOW is disgraceful.
As for Damo, theres a slight touch of jealousy that Lennox didn't ring him about the job, but he is always worth listening to.
All we need is Kingers dress sense, and TV3 would have a prime time winner...
