Let them have him, he hasn't a clue

"Collins Joins Scum"

Correction: Collins left the scum after he won the double for them. Just thought I'd clear that misunderstanding up for you.

I was full sure he would hold out for the CEO job left vacant by rooney !!!!!!!!!!!!

**Neish** · 04/11/2004, 2:44 PM

Would like to see Dublin City survive with Rovers comimg down just to **** off the Collins *****. But truthfully Rovers bring more to the league and Harps always had some kinda connection with em. So come on rovers even though your manager is a c**t

**GK for the Town** · 04/11/2004, 2:48 PM

He never fails to Amaze, i say fair play to him if he can turn Rovers around

**Flynninio** · 04/11/2004, 2:49 PM

WHY WAS THIS BLOODY MOVED. VERY FEW CITY FANS VENTURE OUT OF CITY SECTION SO I THOUGHT THE ODD EIRCOM LEAGUE TOPIC COULD BE LEFT THERE.collins talks complete ****e on tv. never listens to anybody but himself.his record is ****e only for bohs.but he had winning team there.still respect him for going into aberdeen dressing room before there euro game and mentioning how how he loves celtic and got great rise out of them before going on to knock them out 3-2 over two legs...

**carrickharp** · 04/11/2004, 2:54 PM

Think it must have been the €9 million he has to spend on players

Feck never thought of that one. No wonder the **** jumped ship

Roddy failed to turn up for his interview on TV3 Sports Tonight.

**The Sheliban** · 04/11/2004, 10:34 PM

Ironic that the club that so despise Louis Kilcoyne - and rightly so - should now go and shaft a smaller club.
Whatever sympathy I had for Rovers has gone now. Sure, all clubs try to score points over their rivals, but this is sinking to a new low.

He's unreal, he hadn't even got the guts to go on telly and explain himself. Good to hear all the emails at the end of the show slating him.
He's just proven tonight to everyone what he's like, I hope he makes a mess of it, and ends up with no club.

**A face** · 04/11/2004, 11:18 PM

I actually missed Sports Tonight and really meant to watch it. So auld Rodders missed the bus

.... Pity that !! There was fúck all on Paramount Comedy at the time !!

**harry crumb** · 04/11/2004, 11:24 PM

Trevor wasn't too happy about it. He took a bit of pleasure when reading out the negative comments that came in about Roddy Collins.

Personally, I think Roddy had every right to do what he did, but I don't think he should have left until the end of the season.

i blame Shamrock Rovers' board more than I would blame Roddy. Dublin City won't be missed anyway.

He was on NewsBeat on 2FM this evening. Said he had no contract with DC, Rovers were offering him a great deal so he was obligated to talk to them.
