Ya that was already decided I though. Rich-ard-son's Rebel Army is the prefered one IMO.

Even though I'll definately get flamed for posting this, I'm not very happy that the 4 players went along at all. Not exactly a sign that they're ready to move onwards and upwards, is it?

**kingcolers** · 15/03/2005, 9:51 AM

its fairly bizarre that four players would turn up...i've never heard of that type of thing before. but if you take it at face value, maybe they were just saying thanks to a bloke they genuinely admire and there's nothing sinister to it. if that's the case, then it's actually kinda nice. but if pat lingers about the place and if any of these players start stirring things, then the conspiracy theories may have some substance.

still would like to know what pat said on the night. and whether there was a bitter tone to the evening, or whether it was more philosophical. hopefully the latter.

I think it was a case of turning up for a colleagues going away party, once they turned up for training with Rico the day after I don't really care.

Pat who?

We don't!
It's Pat Dolan's Rebel Army. Now that he's gone we will just sing 'Rebel Army'.
I think it would show a lack of respect for both Dolan and Rico if the fans all of a sudden changed it to Ricos Rebel Army.

**adamd164** · 15/03/2005, 11:46 AM

I don't agree that it would show a lack of respect to Dolan, at all Colm. The 'Rebel Army' is the club and us, the fans - NOT PAT DOLAN!

**Ruairi** · 15/03/2005, 11:48 AM

and brian lennox coined the "Rebel Army" phrase anyway...

Have to agree with that. Its the fans who make up the RA, so no matter who coined the phrase, it's <insert manager/player name>'s Rebel Army, surely?

Maybe "Kevin Doyles Rebel Army" up in Ballybofey to re-assure the lad that we really want him here?

No it's not. As Ruairi suggested, the Rebel Army tag predates Dolan. Even I know that ffs.

How in the name of Jebus would it show a lack of respect to anybody?

have to agree, they were well entitled to go, even if maybe the circumstances were slightly different to when someone normally leaves a job!! like, if someone got the sack from where you worked would everyone get together and organise a night out...! Plus if someone got the boot from a normal job it wouldn't be all over the papers, tv etc
Maybe the PR company thing is just typical Pat Dolan, if you are doing anything do it in style. Take the whole first team squad to Sweden, not just the 16 who will play or be on the bench. I'm sorry I missed it, I would have liked to thank him for all the great memories. I'm sure I'll get the chance eventually though, he is bound to pop up in Irish football again sooner or later.

AFIK The only song we ever had for Dolan and Dolan only was...

"Get of the wall!"

Can't agree with you there. Dolan has said he's a supporter of the club and wished us the best, so I can't see the harm in changing the chant. I'm sure he wouldn't take it personally, not that it would bother me if he did

**dahamsta** · 16/03/2005, 9:48 AM

thecorner, his post suggests no such thing, now stop sh1tstirring or you'll find that ccfc.ie is the only place you can research �anna "demonstrating" things.
