Dead right. Imagine being upset at a telly being plugged out.

I was at that game 2 years ago and from what I remember we had a great time and were made feel very welcome at CHP. Sometimes people look for any kind of misbehaviour to "prove" that we are "scum". You're not the first and you won't be the last.

PS See you in CHP next season. There'll be hundreds of us this time.

Can magicme and NYH leave their little tiff at that?
I for one am looking forward to Shamrock Rovers' visits next season. It's all relative, but in relative terms it's a bit of glamour for us in the graveyard division (plus a big gate: with the M1 and Carrickmacross by-pass Monaghan is only about 1hr 35mins from Dublin)

They are all welcome as long as they behave.

DUBLIN CITY FC have added no nonsense Scottish born defender Stuart Malcolm to their squad for the 2006 season.

Malcolm becomes the third Drogheda player to sign for City following the earlier acquisition of Mark Rooney and goalkeeper Gary Rogers.

Malcolm's contract with Drogheda United terminated on December 31st and Vikings boss Dermot Keely persuaded the former St Johnstone, Plymouth and Ross County player to sever his links with Paul Doolin's side and sign up with the promoted Dubliners.

Said Keely: "Stuart is an excellent signing. He has a big presence on the park and is a good leader. He has excellent qualities as a player and can operate as an defender or as a striker. He brings strength and versatility and will have a big influence within the squad."

The 26-year-old Edinburgh native could have stayed on Boyneside with the Drogs but opted to link-up with a City side that is taking on a nice blend of youth and experience."

Added Keely: "I'm still talking to a couple of more players and I'm pretty confident that I can bring in some more quality players to add to the likes of Gary Rogers, Mark Rooney, Keith Doyle, Mick O'Donnell and Stuart Malcolm."

So, Magicme says she requested Rovers fans "to leave the television in the club house alone" and NY straight away, and apparently correctly, says Rovers fans were plugging out the television. I think we've found the guilty party.

I think its hilarious the way you call Century Homes Park a "kip"! Its one of the best maintained grounds in the el....sure we dont have a massive big stand for thousands of fans, but what we do have is suffcient for our current needs and most importantly....WE OWN IT. Jealousy makes people say strange things from what I can see.

NY I hope when you do come to CHP this season you enjoy the comfortable friendly athmosphere that we have created and realise that despite our short comings on the pitch, we lack for little off it.

Oh come on. It is a kip ffs. And if you are seriously suggesting that any Rovers fan is jealous of CHP you are drinking too much mastitis. IMO you and CHF should not be in the league and you would be better off in the Ulster Senior League.

Thats your opinion and your entitled to it but its not hard to see that you havent been to CHP in a long time if you think it is a kip. Just coz we have a nice rural location and a city boy like you is intimidated by greenery and find fresh air hard on your polluted lungs does not mean you should be nasty about the property we OWN.

IMO you should not be in the league coz you blatently flouted the licensing requirements last year and are obviously run by an incompetent committee.

Granted NY Hoop can be unbelievably irritating at times but that takes the custard cream.

**Magicme** · 10/01/2006, 12:04 PM

He obviously has a dislike of me and my club so just winding him up a bit.

**NY Hoop** · 10/01/2006, 12:07 PM

Shows what you know. The club has never been in better health off the pitch.

Re CHP I was there the last time we played you in a league game. In fact I've been to all the games when we played you in the premier. And I've also lived in the country so you're missing the point.

The reason you shouldnt be in the league is because despite the fact that you have played in the premier there was no significant increase in attendance. Like CHF you dont bring anything to the league. It would be better if you went non league. Your crowds would increase because there would be no admittance charges and your team would be in a stronger position plus the travel costs would be down.

And WAR coming from you that is a compliment!

It looked exactly the same last year as it did the last time you were in the premier: other than the bar there was nothing worth visiting. And before the obvious response, I'm aware that Belfield is a kip too but I know where I'd rather watch a game.

**Magicme** · 10/01/2006, 12:22 PM

Fair enough you were here when we were last in the premier division but unfortunately that was 3 years ago and alot has happened since then. CHP has had a face lift and work is continuing.

The reason you club is in good health now is coz you were bankrupt and had all your debts wiped away..... I think lots of clubs would love a clean slate like that.

Oh I apologise for slagging you for not ever having breathed fresh air, obviously i should have known you have lived in the country and thats why you feel so at home at CHP.

I admit we have a small fanbase. But I dont see how we "dont contribute to the league". Quite a few successful eL players either started with us or cut their teeth with us. We have kindly donated Keith Foy to Sligo Rovers (

) and various other clubs have benefited from the training and opportunities that footballers have received at Mons.

Believe me even if there was a free gate, we would not increase our fans by much....we live in GAH land and a county that is notioriously tight (yes worse than Cavan).

Look NY Hoops, I extended a hand of friendship over a former dispute that we have had some millions of messages back and you just keep on picking and picking. I find it hard to resist fighting back but believe me no matter what you throw at me I will have an answer for you and I dont want people to be bored and accuse me of taking up too much space on this forum, so unless you have something of interest to say to me that does not require an essay worth of arguments in respons, i suggest you give your fingers a rest from typing and let them recover in time for gesturing at the next Ref who will dare victimise poor Rovers.

Take care and hope to discuss these matters in person in CHP.
