Don't know how Murray has won so much and how he gets away with it.

Biggest donkey in the league.

Aye, we were all confused by that ourselves? It was just one fella singing it apparently. Bizarre stuff, though no more bizarre than the match itself. Can't ever remember a game like it. Our match against Bohs on Friday was a far more bad tempered game.

Each to their own.

Did you see your fans, players and manager after getting a draw against us?

Swear you won the Champions League....Each to their own though

Damn right we celebrated as we were without Maher, Bolger, Bennett, Gutherie and Osbourne all are first choices and have been injured for 6 weeks now, and some will be out longer.

These 5 would be a huge gap for most other PD sides to fill, so a point was def a good result.

Winning things doesnt make you a good player .....Brazillian defender Rocque Junior won a Champs League and a World Cup and was easily one of the worst players ive ever seen.

**pineapple stu** · 03/05/2011, 1:14 PM

Worse than, say, anyone on the Limerick team?

**Red Army** · 03/05/2011, 1:44 PM

You were only going on about rubbish been posted here pineapple a few posts back then you come up with that gem. Good man.

It's hardly an attack on the Limerick squad to suggest they're not all better than World Cup winner Rocque Junior.

**Red Army** · 03/05/2011, 1:52 PM

I know but just a pointless post if your going to be giving out about the standard of other posts. That's all.

What a load of Rubbish!!

Pat Dolan, Damien Richardson, Alan Mathews, Paul Doolin and Michael O'Neill all had him as captain.

I noticed a few years back that he unable to do anything apart from let a long ball land on his head. He cant run,pass or tackle

It's pretty true though in fairness. I recall a fight against relegation in 2004, first division soon after, no home for a long time, small enough support for a long time, and a lovely bunch of Rovers fans in Finn Park a few years ago roaring abuse when they were 4-1 down about how we 'have no history'. Confusing.

first 30 seconds of that video.

the guy is a quality footballer and anyone who thinks differently hasnt been watching him week in week out. I'm sure the Rovers fans agree, and if not we'll gladly take him back
