QuoteLol we will settle for 2 in a row then go for 3Originally Posted by CSAD
I'm curious what was the bare minimum for Dundalk this year? Or is it only Rovers that have to win the league as a bare minimum?.
If Bradley should win the league because of his budget how come dundalk haven't won as they have a bigger budget?
I would say assembling a team with half dfc budget to win (hopefully ) 2 leagues in a row while generating 2 million plus in transfer fees.
Winning the cup after 100 years, having an undefeated season, getting the best out of jack Byrne and others. Not whinging once at losing his best players Byrne, mceneff, Scales.
I'm sure I could think of more but u have your mind made up.
We will settle for winning the league and have another go.

You’re putting words in my mouth now.
He’s got the best squad in the league, in Europe when it’s level playing field the truth is revealed and he’s consistently screwed up.
Winning the cup…hahahaha get real.
One good season doesn’t make him a great manager
Name me some players in the current squad he’s getting the best out of?
It’s not his job to whinge, he’s a manager.
Fair enough even though you will continue to do **** all in Europe as a result of keeping him, but if you fans are okay with then fair enough, continue to destroy the LOI’s co-efficient.

Sorry bud but you said he was achieving the bare minimum so isassumed you meant winning 1 and hopefully 2 leagues in a row.
What did you mean by bare minimum?
Win the league and Cup double plus europa league?
Oh and once again if he has to win stuff as a bare minimum how come dundalk aren't winning everything as a bare minimum.
Words in your mouth ?
1 cup 1 and hopefully two leagues. Glad I don't work for you.
You’ll do well for the 2 in a row the way things are going. Dundalk have been to the Europa league twice…you lost 5 ****ing 2 to Flora. And last season you barely got Ileves…That’s the difference. This is the first year Dundalk may not win silverware bar 2016.
Where did I say budget in that sentence?
With the squad you have you are satisfied with just that…this in itself shows just how little you think of Bradley if this is considered enough.
So have we agreed I wasn't putting words in your mouth about bradser winning the cup then the league and being 3 pounts clear with two games in hand was the bare minimum?
it's getting better now lol you "never mentioned budget' so he has achieved the bare minimum as rovers manager regardless of budget ??
Even the hard-core rovers fans wouldn't demand multiple leagues without a decent budget.

August is a wicked month if you are a hoop.Knocked out of two cups in 5 days is the stuff of cup specialists.
What a great second half today had absolutely everything a derby game should have.Two stunning goals from Bohs , deserved win by any yardstick
None of my business but the the negativity and pettiness of the Rovers side under Bradley is something to behold.
Persisyent fouls on the 40 yard zone on the basis that too far out / big defenders will minimise advantage.Slow the play down the throw ins taking a minute each, even Niall Doyle body checking Buckley at one point to advantage his club.
Nice to see that cynicism having no reward .
Btw the young lad Rovers brought on, stunning pace looks a good player.
One bad month a year isn't to bad.
He's a lovely kid on top of everything else apparently hopefully he kicks on.
Proper derby match, the cup is wide open for you now.
Pats
Bohs
Harps
Waterford
Dundalk
UCD
Wexford
Maynooth
Pats the only team in the current top 4 still in the Cup, on paper that would make us favourites but I still wouldn’t fancy a trip to Oriel, Dundalk capable of being the best team in the country when they want to be.
Now is the round to play Bohs with Kelly out.
Waterford are the dark horses, on a great run at the moment and Junior up top is capable of pulling anything out of the bag on any given night.
Pity it wasn't on TV!
Rovers really need to build around Burke, he is at a different level in this league.
Towell looked to me to be phoning it in.
Get some of those young lads in instead Sbgawa .
Burke is fantastic and is carrying an injury and barely training so makes it more impressive tbh.
The young lads are coming through but our academy is only up and running properly about 5 years to be fair and it takes time . St Kevin's who are nominally your academy have a production line coming through for years.
I do expect great things over the next few years if we can hang on to them not like Bazunu Zefi etc
Well we have a successful partnership with St Kevin's which seem to trigger you people.
They will now get the benefit of our investment in the DCU training facility funded by the Matt Doherty transfer
Rovers also have a strategic partnership with three schoolboy clubs and tried to put the squeeze on another recently and were told to f,,, off.
Funnily enough , while we might trade passive aggressive comments on under age structures, Pat's are in the European under 19,"s and have a cracking team.
To be fair rovers have teams in the ddsl playing as rovers as well as all the national league teams operating out of roadstone. the partnerships are more about community stuff and a bit of scouting. From what I hear bohs are planning on doing their own thing separate from Kevin's which will be interesting but I think in your own best interests in the long run. Pats have a good 19s but the real strength in the rovers academy is coming through now at 14 and 15 levels and I think the future is very bright. The hang with brexit hopefully means we (and all the league) get to keep this crop
I can smell the Aviva…Don’t care who we get Tuesday. You have to beat them anyway at some stage. Just reading through some of the posts from Rovers fans and I’d have to agree with some of the points made. It is not a young team and there does seem to be a lack of players getting game time from the Academy System. I would also wonder is Bradley the Manager to take you to the next level as Kenny did with Dundalk. Personally I think not but we’ll see in Europe next season.
Waterford are the dark horse. A dundalk away to bohs , pats away to waterford and maynooth away to harps is what we all want.
Is bradser the man for Europe?
First job is getting there. 13 matches to go...
Second thread in 3 days Rovers fans are deflecting. Questions raised about Bradley and the success of the academy and all sbgawa is mention Dundalk.
Nothing to see here, how bad are Dundalk though 😂
I can’t claim this as my own but thought it was funny. Before the game someone had posted that Bohs was the first decent side in Europe Rovers would face
To be fair I was just asking that other lad how come bradsers minimum achievement was winning the league when his budget was less than dundalk. Fair question to put to someone talking crap. As someone else said let's see how next year gos
