Shamrock Rovers on TV again

8 points deducted just wondering does anybody think thats was lenient ? the 8 points deducted was a fudge because there is nothing in the club licensing rules to say that points can be deducted , the only punishment in the rule book is that they should have had their licencse revoked and kicked out of the league thats why it was not challenged by rovers

RTE must be full of Rovers fans then?

This Rovers famous thing is like Preston North End or Burnley or whoever else going on about all their wins in the eary 20th century

Rovers is a cult and, like any good cult, we have members placed purposely in crucial sectors of society.

We're basically the Freemasons on Bulmers.

Its like people who watch motor sport for the crashes.
TG4 are showing the match for the inevitable crowd trouble that will ensue when Rovers play

as opposed to all the trophies you have won in the 21st?!?

not our fault that the general public would rather watch a poor rovers team than the best ever c awk side

the only irish match that ever drew a tv audience worth the name was the pats bohs semi

class game, involving Ireland's most loved tv heroes and bohemians

have it at home - p�sses over anything the LoI has ever contributed to telly land

Better still, apply the letter of the law to all clubs and revoke EVERYBODY'S Licence.

as I keep saying come back to me when your back in the first division
and all your fans disappear again! More players than supporters in longford
a couple of years back.I know because I was at more games down there
than a majority of the so called fans you have now!
Fairweather fans!

I don't think anybody is denying what the crooks who ran our club for too long did, but let he who is without sin cast the first stone. NO club in this league meets the requirements of the manual if you actually read the thing.
