Lovin' it! You see that is the difference. People care about us going down because we are the biggest name in Irish sport. If you got relegated it would'nt have been live on tv or grabbed a tenth of the headlines.Originally Posted by BohDiddley
We're down but we will be back.

"The Derry fans were fantastic in both matches. They sang their hearts out all the time and created an even better atmosphere than the Cup Final. They were brilliant. - David Graham, Gretna striker
Eh, um, surely the fact that we have been so unsuccessful in recent years yet still manage to grab the most headlines in the league is proof positive that we are
Ireland: Discovered!
On a sad night for Irish football there was however something to laugh at in CHF's programme. The chairman of the supporters club (stop laughing) had resigned and then incredibly went on to thank all of CHF's fans by name
With any luck this time next year our positions will be swapped.

Maybe but it is sad. I would hate if the past is all I had to shout about in a debate. There is a future for Rovers so please less of the ancient history as no-one cares.

No-one cares? Keep telling yourself that. The amount of coverage we've had because we got relegated is more than any other club would have got. That's not ancient history.

Yeah everyone cares and the nation is truly saddened but Rovers' problem is that no one else actually cares enough to do anything. Them 15 leagues and 24 cups still couldn't keep you up, and photos of old trophies aren't going to get you out of the 1st division either.
Rovers won't get anywhere until they stop living in the past and realise they are just another eircom League club. Eamon Sweeney is a writer - he makes money out of selling sentiment as sense doesn't make such good reading. Rovers are a football club (ish) and have to make money by being a football club like everyone else.
Surely this line must gall even Hoops fans and in particular the 500 club. It certainly ****ed me off. Not only is it a veiled dig at the new administration, more to the point the line SHOULD read:
"I'm surprised relegation hasn't happened already. Its thanks to the large scale cheating, theft of government grants and tax evasion of various management teams and board members that it hasn't, and sadly this gross mismangement has now come back to haunt the current owners"
By replying you have disproved the theory that nobody cares. I can just imagine gypoweb

Once upon a time I cared enough to write a letter to SDCC supporting your application for planning permission. Not now though.
NY Hoop, you may still be feeling the effects from numbing the pain, but what the outgoing chairman of the Supporters Club (nothing funny there) said was that he'd like to thank the people who have helped him over the past two years going on to list members of the SC, the chairman of the club, Toccy O'Connor and John Gill.
I hope your delusions keep you warm at night.
Well it obviously just arrived as they've finally approved it. Cheers!

No One Likes Us, We Don't Care
The Tallaght Community Stadium is going ahead and shamrocks v Kildare County will fit in nicely between the U11s camogie trials and the local schools' sports day.
Watching rover being relegated on Friday night was one of the funniest things that I ever witnessed. A brilliant Night. I hope that we never have to see them in the PREMIER division again. Next year will prove once and for all that not having them in the top division is be a good thing. The news about them having to share with the GAA and anyone else who wants to play in the ground in Tallaght just tops it all off.. Think I might set up a monster truck club in Tallaght and apply to use the pitch..
Nice try. Anchor tenants, minimum 40 games a year, our own club house/bar and offices, 50% of all commerical revenues. I'll take that after 20 odd years of renting crumbling edifices like the stadium formerly known as the home of Irish football. And the timing of our moving in neatly coincides with our (hoped for) swift return to the top flight.

ill accept that we are wide open for dogs abuse after losing to CHF, but taking the **** out of us because we are getting a municipal stadium built for us wont wash.
if it works for AC Milan, Roma, Juve, Real Madrid, Barca etc its ok for me. Internationally very few clubs actually own their own stadia, and not as many as you would think (shels, cork, waterford, kildare etc) do in ireland.
as for the GAA angle, they were refused planning permission for their own stadium and were being arkward for the sake of it. will SDCC redesign the ground and purchase more land to accomodate them? answers on a postcard.... and it is hardly a bad thing that youth and local football get to play there. corkies dont seem to mind
And you still believe promises at this stage? Now call me a cynic but I'll believe it when I see it. Remember: It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
And if you tune in to Garda Patrol tommorrow at six you will se most of the Rovers Fans get a mention.On a sad night for Irish football there was however something to laugh at in CHF's programme.

Is that true ... i never heard that ??
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.
In the good old Bishopstown days his good friend Plonk O Donovan took him on board as Citys representative to the league.
They say what about the meek?
I say they’ve got a bloody cheek
