Dublin City to seek sanctions

[LFC in Exile]

They may not have been happy, but there would be nothing they or the league could do about it. Delighted for Seery and his sham of a club.

Macy, I agree with you (as I posted above) that legally Seery has no case - and Rovers did nothing unlawful. However, the point I was trying to make is that there is a lot of hypocrisy around this league in that clubs always (like Rovers recently) bang on about loyalty, but then behave completely selfishly.

There is a bigger issue here - which I guess will always be with us - that clubs when they act in this way have no grounds then for complaining when other clubs sc rew them over in terms of setting dates for fixtures/challenging results/unregistered players etc.

Patsh - how youc an bring Ollie Byrne into this is beyond me. For christ sake - he is not the source of all evil in the eL. This fascination with Ollie Byrne is unhealthy.

1. Seery would have ongoing contacts with Byrne, as tenant to landlord.
It is quite concieveable that a person, not skilled in thae ways of administration in this league, would ask "advice" from someone who is, and is convenient and available. Or don't you talk to each other in Limerick?

2. Heard on the news that Seery demands that the whole league schedule be "put on hold" until there is an investigation into his (own, inadequate) deal with Collins. This is the same type of sh*te that regularly emanates from the other users of Tolka.

While I think Collins is scum, Seery ain't going to win many friends with his hysterics and drama queen act.

Everyone knows why Collins would'nt sign a contract, brom brum

I'm open to correction but didn't Collins only say he was working for free after the story about the Merc became public.

Was there money under the table????????

My understanding is he was paid by cheque. It was to hide it from Carlisle , not the taxman.

one could say the same about Rovers as tenant in Tolka. Maybe they got advise from Ollie

While it's possible, I think it is highly unlikely that Tony Maguire goes to Byrne for advice. On the other hand, I think it highly likely that Seery does.
Two litigious, angry little creeps....made for each other....

[drummerboy]

Seemingly a couple of the English-based players, who obviously hold allegiance to Roddy, have refused to travel for tonights game against Longford.

Maybe Ollie had a chat with Tony Maguire and told him that the best way of ensuring survival was to take Dublin City's manager. Maybe Ollie had originally told Ronan Seery not to offer Roddy a contract. In fact, I would not be surprised if this goes all the way back to Carlisle's decision to give Roddy a Merc and tell him that he could keep it until he got a full time job. Knowing Roddy loves Mercs he would have made sure that Ronan offered him an unpaying job. Then he gets an investor to "invest" money in Rovers just before the end of the season - take Roddy for Rovers - and there you go, before you can say "Forget Hussein, George W should look for WMD in Tolka" the cunning plan is achieved. But why? Well, for you amateur conspiracy theorists out there I'll spell it out. Ollie is worried that DC's growing fan base would undermine the Northside base of Shels and he can get more rent from Rovers next season anyway.

By the way - all of the above is sarcasm. Because when it comes to this league some people will believe anything.

By the way Patsh - one flaw in your Ollie whispering in Ronan's ear scenario is that Roddy did the dirt on DC...

[joeSoap]

Latest news from Camp Seery is that DC are refusing to fulfill the remainder of their fixtures as a mark of stupidity.....sorry, protest...!!!

One flaw in your argument is that you do not read properly.
AFTER Collins upped and left, I would think that it is very likely that Seery got advice from Byrne. Given the situation he (Seery) found himself in, he would want to know how best to proceed, and the master of the rulebook is in his immediate vicinity.
It's not a conspiracy theory, just speculation about something that is very possible, maybe even likely.

So this cóck is going to extend Towns season yet again with a pathetic protest against something that isn't against the rules. The sooner that club goes out of business the better.

Dublin City will be in Longford tonight, minus the players Roddy signed, who are refusing to travel. Very fair & of course within the rule book

[manic da hoop]

Ronan Seery is clearly forgetting one thing - Nobody gives a damn. DC is a one man show, so any kind of protest on their, or should I say his, part is ultimately going to affect nobody but himself. Given that Longford are already safe and with a place in Europe now secured I doubt they'll loose too much sleep over having this fixture postponed. We certainly won't care as it will almost definitly write off whatever slim chances DC had of staying up.

So bring it on Ronan, give us all a good laugh at your expense!

How is that Longford's, or the rest of the leagues, fault? If he's so keen to go to court, there's a case already - breach of contract. Sue the players.

Ha Ha Ha!!! City are going down, maybe further than the first division.... Where's your roddy gone,wheres your roddy gone......

[anto eile]

i play on the Rovers supporters team.we only got founded 10 months ago, but i want to join the eircom league....well.. if ronan seery can invent a new club and get straight into the EL then why cant anyone else? if seery wanted to join the EL , he should have started in the leinster junior league in the phoenix park and built from there. he acts like he has godgiven right to play in the premier division, when his inclusion at all in even the first division is highly dubious in the first place

thyre a ****ty little club ,with no history,no fans,no traditinal heartland,no tradition full stop. all CHF/ICBINHF/homefarm drumcondra/everton/fingal or whatever theyre called this season, is a bloody ego-trip of ronan seery. ronan seery might as well invest in some lego or a train set, he can have his hobby and it wont cost him much money and t wont annoy the rest of the EL.we all win

[anto eile]

btw the english based players roddy signed were,according to the star come weeks ago being paid by a sponsor, not actually by mr ronan "dublin shytty" seery himself.and they didnt travel a couple of weeks ago to play for homefarm when roddy was still in charge, (the reason being because theyre shyt) so talk of english based players not travelling because of roddy leaving is a complete load of shyte

The club paid them, no one else, more bull$hit from Roddy
the 5 that remain, have been in the team consistantly, until tonight.

no traditinal heartland,no tradition full stop.

What exactly is your heartland? you havn't had one since the club $crewed you.
