is this true?! Fricking hilarious if it is! Not because its Rovers (well maybe a little bit) but just because its so... strange?

I hope it happens, would be hilarious

Hope to God it doesn't happen.

Surely if this were to be done it should be done in Lansdowne?

what the SDCC chooses to do with their stadium is their business...

**Charlie Darwin** · 21/06/2011, 2:02 AM

It's just a mad idea from some councillor. I really can't see it going through considering he has no association whatsoever with the club. Maybe they can name a Gaelic pitch after him and give it to Thomas Davis.

What club? And if you mean Shamrock Rovers, why should he need to have any association with them?

Oh wow, we're doing this. Awesome.

**Red Army** · 21/06/2011, 6:38 AM

Beggars can't be choosey if South Dublin CC want to put a name on a stand it's their business nothing to do with Shams. But why stop with one stand I think the Robbie Keane stadium sounds even better.

Isn't it just? It's as if some councillors just won't let you forget it their stadium and they'll do want they want with it

While I'll wet myself laughing if it happens, it just shows the mentality of some elected representative. Wanting to name a stand after a current player who has never played in the stadium, and has no connection with any club who's ever played in the stadium, never mind Rovers

But he's from tallaght dodge! Tallaght!

**Eminence Grise** · 21/06/2011, 7:36 AM

A Duff idea, with luke-warm Looney support.

Sounds just like a Ballymagash UDC meeting in Hall's Pictorial Weekly...

**Macy** · 21/06/2011, 8:10 AM

They should wait for Keane to move back home to Tallaght after he retires....

**peadar1987** · 21/06/2011, 9:07 AM

I'd prefer the Gary Twigg stadium.

Of course and the opposite stand can be named after his cousin, Jason Byrne - from Tallaght, played there, won Setanta Cup there, Ireland International - you know it makes sense

Don't forget the Keith Fahey Stand

**Ezeikial** · 21/06/2011, 10:19 AM

The Louis Kilcoyne Stand ?

**SwanVsDalton** · 21/06/2011, 10:32 AM

Smart move would be The Richard Dunne Stand. Would have great revenue potential for sponsorship/co-naming rights with Sugar Puffs.

**Mr A** · 21/06/2011, 10:37 AM

A stand in a football stadium being named after an Irish football great from the area. I don't really see why people consider this particularly strange or hilarious.
