QuoteGood to see Bradley is annoying the right people. Long may it continue.
It doesn't bother me if he's not nice to be honest, it's the hypocrisy that annoys me.
My respect for HH continues to grow. He even has Tony Donoghue gushing at him during interviews.

Not sure if Heimir Hallgrimsson is one of the "right people" you're referring to, but Hallgrimsson had him on toast anyway.
Sure he did. Josh got his call up which will help out with our future fee. Bradley got his sit down and apology. All good from our end.
Jesus Christ this is absolutely ****ing pathetic reading on this forum.
Here they come! Its the charge of the Thanks Brigade!
Nothing wrong with saying Bradley is a bit of a tool who just sounds whiney and bitter when talking about Hallgrimsson. Hes done well with Rovers, but considering his budget relative to the rest of the league Im not sure hes done an amazing job. Im delighted he didnt get near the Ireland job and I doubt he ever willOriginally Posted by Kingdom
Its really not that complicated!!!
And that pretty much sums up this side of the forum. There is a reason nobody new joins it.
Enjoy your echo chamber folks.
But what's the issue with saying you disagree with someone and don't particularly like him. Just because he's in LOI doesn't mean he cant be criticized
Its really not that complicated!!!
Exactly. Not criticising someone for being a tool just because theyâre in LOI would be fairly inauthentic
Folding my way into the big money!!!
An echo chamber is somewhere you couldn't present an opposing opinion. You just haven't bothered, instead preferring to cast shade.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Yeah, I have to say I'm not quite sure what's behind the sentiment in Kingdom and ontheotherhand's posts here. Though certainly nobody's stopping them from expressing contrary views.
So basically, you came in to the discussion to have a dig at a few people, and when you didn't like the responses you ran away crying again. Mature stuff.
Ironically much of this discussion was had before Duff and Bradley decided to make even bigger tits of themselves than usual last night.
The responses were as expected. Very enjoyable and predictable. Job done, just as it was for Bradley.
Make a point or get lost. This vague snideness is pathetic and borderline trolling.
You can't spell failure without FAI
There are points there but you must have missed them. The responses are as childish as expected but it's the internet. Bradley is annoying the right type of person and he got what he wanted. That seems to upset people for whatever reason. Heimir also came out of it well TBF. Probably learned a bit about the Irish football landscape which will help him.
Bradley annoys everyone, even quite a few of the Rovers fans! Duff is a pain in the tits too - angry little fella.
His comments about Desmond certainly did but I think you're exaggerating there a bit Stu. He's well loved at Rovers. At least by the majority but that's football. Isn't perfect but he's usually bang on the money.
Duff......is wearing a bit thin at this stage. Thought it was entertaining enough last season but he seems to have cracked. The hill antics against yous were.....pathetic and last night was bizarre even by his recent standards. Don't think he came out of the Heimer clash very well at all either. Whereas Heimir did.
I have never exaggerated, never ever in my entire life!
Yeah itâs absolutely confirmation bias anytime I see a Rovers fan criticize him âthere ya go, see, even his own fans canât stand the rat!â. Duff is laughing stock territory though the way he carries on. Even with a league title in his honours list. Little gremlin. I possibly (actually, definitely) dislike him more!
I saw two bohs fans on twitter say Bradley was a class act over the weekend and I'm still processing it. It's...just...not...right.
Yeah it's a bit sad how much Duff has fallen apart. I could see why people didn't like him from the get go but it was, as I said, somewhat entertaining and some of his views on the FAI and Irish football in general were useful. Now....it's looking like he might have lost his mind. Incidentally the Bradley/Duff spat this weekend got more engagement than the whole international window according to McDonnell. I suppose that's...something? đ
My 2c. I think Duff yoyo's between occasionally making very useful points about the state of Irish football, using his profile to bring attention to things he believes needs to change and then the other stuff. He has been a huge boost for the league generally, he's definitely a mad man, this level of intensity about anything isn't good for a person but I think most of his carry on is to take attention away from his players, it's all screaming Jose. I thought his interview with Richie Sadlier last year was a good insight to his mentality, he's a good guy at the heart of it I would imagine. The pro level of the sport is a sitcom with some football in between, so I wouldn't take much of what anyone says very seriously, let alone get worked up enough to dislike anyone.
I do wish Bradley was a bit happier, I think he uses negatives to motivate himself, a never ending siege mentality no matter how well things are going, and look he's been through some really tough events in his life, and has a sick child, so I cut him a lot of slack for his general demeanor. I would agree that his general results with Rovers have been on par with budget/expectations for much of his time there, except at the beginning where he managed to cling in to the job, and build something very succesful. I also think he deserves praise for last years Euro run. It will be very interesting to see how things pan out this year, I'm sure he still has much to improve on if he's going to be an International manager one day, but he is still only 40/
I think they were both too hasty to take shots at Heimir, and were better off sticking directly to comments re the top level of the organization, and hopefully we're past that now.
I am not as convinced of Heimer as some others here, but I think he's doing ok, and seems like a very decent, capable man who I only wish well. The individual players and depth is continuing to improve, we will have a decent shot in September if we can put close to our best squad together.
