    The Collins curse

    Lets look at the stats

    Eamon Collins - Decides to use his Rasputin style mind tricks to get Pat Fenlon to turn Shelbourne from a successful passing outfit to a thug ball struggling one.

    Roddy Collins - Where to start? Bad decision after bad decision, let’s start with deciding that Carlton Palmer and Efan Ekoku would be good signings for Dublin City.

    Steve Collins - Decides to beat his wife.

    Joan Collins - Decides to get married, decides to get a divorce. Decides to get married, decides to get a divorce. Decides to get married, decides to get a divorce. Decides to get married, decides to get a divorce. Decides to get married……..currently on husband number five.

    Eamon Collins (No. 2) - Ex-IRA man decides to write a book about the inhumanity of the IRA, and gets murdered for his troubles while out walking his dogs.

    Phil Collins - Decides to turn Genesis from a respectable rock band to an awful pop outfit that produced putrid hit after putrid hit. Decides to embark on an even more horrible solo career.

    Collins publishing company - A very reputable publishing company that specialised in education and religious books decides in 1989 to join Rupert Murdoch’s evil empire and merge with Harper & Row to become Harper Collins. Now just another blood-thirsty multi-national.

    The question is - why does the surname Collins make people make such bad decisions? Why does it attract such idiots? Is there something nasty in the blood of this ‘clan’?

    For the first time ever I’m starting to think that maybe we shouldn’t have signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty back in 1921!

    John Collins - While playing football with Fulham becomes butt of jokes as they also have a player named Collins John

    To bring this full circle, not a lot of people know that Roddy attempted to sign John Collins for Dublin City as well...
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    how true? not very. Shels won the league with percentages football and a sh;t hot striker. Their striker has lost the "hot" and is now just sh:t. they still play percentages football - just they dont get the percentages anymore.....like say Mark Farren does with derry - even his mistakes lead to goals - when ure time is in - ure time is in. ipso facto - shels play sh:t football....always have, even when they won the league - their playmaker is david crawley ffs while they bench or bypass the only decent player they have, houlihan!

    Hoops1, I know stupidity is prized as a badge of honour among Rovers fans, but will you kindly stop attempting to format your posts manually by pressing return instead of allowing the lines to wrap of their own accord, thus rendering them as illegible as they are nonsensical.

    Didn't know that, he was playing against my team last week for a team of ex pro's (Alan Kernaghan,Paul Kane,Michael O'Neil,Tosh McKinlay and the likes). He's a local lad here and has good ties with my team so they play us every year.

    I don't know him that well but would've thought I'd have heard that from him.

    im afraid you dont watch much football

    Crawley supplies most of their attacking "plays" via a big caveman punt upfield - the rest of their game relies on rogers/stuey byrne et al surrounding the ref and hoping that gets the free given their way - always works

    They're sh:t


    pure sh:t

    I know I shouldn't bite Shero, but the chance to use the roll eyes smiley in response is too good a chance to pass up.

    What about the other Michael Collins - the third astronaut for the first moon landing?

    NASA - "Michael, would you mind risking your life on a rocket to the moon?"

    Collins - "Jaysus, I don't know. Nobody's ever been there before and with crap 1960s technology, it could be very dangerous."

    NASA - "Don't be a pussy."

    Collins - "Okay. At least I'll go down in history as the first man on the moon."

    NASA - "Oh that's the other thing. Neil and Buzz get to walk on the moon. We want you to mind the shuttle like a spare prik."

    Collins - "Ah balls. Can't we just film the two boys with an American flag in a TV studio?"

    (actual conversation may have differed slightly)

    In relation to that, there was a show on Discovery recently which dispelled every single piece of conspiracy theory "evidence" behing the moon landing being a hoax.

    I think everyone likes a good conspiracy, but (un?)fortunately you can rest assured that the moon landing really did take place!

    Could start with the fact that he helped Bohs to the double. Its a short list of managers that can or will claim that
