QuoteHe's spot on to be honest.
I'd say he wants the Rovers job alright. He's not planning on hanging around Waterford once the season finishes and I'd say he'd do very well at Rovers.
Dolans views on the hoops, brown nosing his way to a job?
pat dolan in the star
you only find out about people in times of great adversity, and this season we have learned a lot about the fans, officials and players of shamrock rovers
since leaving miltown the most famous name in irish football has had little direction and more false dawns than iceland in the midst of a cold winter.
since the rds they have embarked on gypsy like journey from ground to ground, begging from clubs who are rivals first and nieghbours second and of course there has been the dream of tallaght
but you know what? 2005 has been a positive year from shamrock rovers in my view for three key reasons
firstly there are the fans who have suffered who have been let down time after time yet who have ensured the continued exsistence of the club by taking control of its destiny
secondly in roddy collins they have a manager with the personality and ability to drive the club forward on the pitch, the eight point deduction for off the field irregularities was so wrong in a league where the microscope could reveal problems in any club. rovers needed a helping hand to restore the glory days not a kick in the ass, welcome to the eircom league!
but last monday at dalymount park against cork city the most important of the three reasons emerged on a dreadfully disappointing night for the club. the fans so often targeted and vilified refused to die. in the "only sing when your winning" age when fans seem to boo and abuse so quickly, the rovers fans sang there hearts out before during and after the game. it was an incredible show of defiance.
for nearly 20 years every game has been an away game. on monday they showed everyone that, no matter what is thrown at them, they will never ever die. thats called good old fashioned spirit, its called real support!!

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

He was in the clock pub on James street on Friday night buying everyone drinks.

Has Dolan ever said anything bad about an EL club though? He just loves everybody so mucheven Roddy apparently!
I'd take anything he says with a pinch of salt, I think the Drogs setup would be more his cup of tea to be honest. Still, you never know.

yeah, if it wasn't for our keeper being in top form and saving all those clearcut Cork chances, we'd have been hammered

You obviously haven't heard the "sad man perplexed by Shelbourne" talk about us.Has Dolan ever said anything bad about an EL club though? He just loves everybody so much
No secret, Face. He's here 'til the end of the season. We've stayed up, so job done, thank you very much. He'll take his bonus and move on.Colm, he probably told you that in confidence, i dont think you should be saying that here, i mean what would the blah fans say like !?!?!
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Gutted .... he would have been a good hate figure for the Munster Derbies .... we'll just have to pick a few more now !!

That about sums it up (although you forgot about us hitting the bar and ye getting a poxy peno).
I think Rovers and Dolan would be great. He could PR his way into getting those taxi driver Rovers fans back to games & the banter would be great when they play Pats and City.
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
Dolan 4 Rovers .............Nah he's way to good a manager for the first division
Forgot Devine's top class save from Sullivan, and sullivan being clean through but too tired to run as well. Can't remember everything though
