Is he any good? Let me guess another "honest worker" type we seem to enjoy signing so many of
Well I never heard of jim roddy until he started acting the bo**ox with the drogs - sometime might be best not be to 'heard'Originally Posted by dcfcsteve
Remember a good piece in the EL star magazine a couple of years ago (still have it at work so must read it again tomorrow) profiling him and i think it said he used be treasurer and had other roles with home farm for years
DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS
He's definately in the Top 10 worst Rovers players I've ever seen, he can't tackle on his right side so just turns sideways and tackles with his arse!! To be honest at the moment Dublin City's squad looks more like a first division one than a premierIs he any good? Let me guess another "honest worker" type we seem to enjoy signing so many of
Ooh, don't mention the War
[QUOTE=dcfcsteve]My avatar and 'handle' might give a clue. I'm a Derry City fan. We only joined the league in 1985 - years after Home Farm entered the league, let alone were founded.... [QUOTE]
think the boys at home farm might disagree
you'd know
Eh ??? So you're telling me that Home Farm joined the league and/or were created after 1985...?think the boys at home farm might disagree

"Home Farm Millennium Yearbook"
In addition to the club's history, copies of which are also available, the golden jubilee of the club was celebrated with a yearbook in 1978 and the diamond jubilee with another yearbook in 1988. The present millennium yearbook covers details of recent activities of the club as well as plans for future developments.

dcfcsteve, Seery was CEO of Home Farm between 1993-1997 (his father was the treasurer for 50 years before that)

Shams have a heartland around Tallaght, thats their fanbase, thats where their building their stadium. Where is your San Siro being built, where is your fanbase, where is your heartland.kettle, pot & black
its one of the motivations behind it, not saying its the only one.What area - Greater Dublin ??If his sole motivation is to have a club in the area in which he was brought up (wherever that was) then why does the team move stadium/area on a regular basis ? And why did he not name the club after his beloved area ?
I think it would be naive to believe that teary-eyed Seery's sole motivation, sniffle, is to have a team in the area he loves so well (wipes tear from eye)....
He started out playing in Whitehall, he moved to Morton Stadium when Whitehall was being redeveloped into the best playing surface in the league.
Then when promotion beckoned we were forced into moving to Tolka to comply with Licensing recommendations, when we attempted to get back into Whitehall at the start of last season, we were blocked by the fact that both Belgrove and Home Farm were playing their LSL league games there.
When the season finished for both sides Dublin City managed to get back into whitehall, and are now attempting to negotiate a long term deal. So we have moved out of necessity rather than out of desire unfortunately.
It's only natural that any newly promoted club should set their sights on staying up and consolidating their position in the division before they think about moving into European places. I'd imagine that privately, this is the plan.
No harm in having goals though, it's nice to see a bit of ambition (though I can't bring myself to like Seer, and I think his presence makes me dislike DCFC more than I should).

But I have to agree some of our signings are a bit dubious, but then we have Dermot Keely and his judgement is sound so we should be OK.
Although we will need a few more big names for the european campaign
i was talking about Sligo
*Rubs eyes to ensure he read that right.... *
Holy feck - you think Dermot Keely has sound judgement - particularly in the transfer market !?!?
I don't think anyone on Foyleside will agree with you there. He nearly destroyed our club with his absurd transfer and geneal management shenanigans. The fact that Stephen Kenny has taken us to where we are now with roughly the same resources as Keely shows just how rubbish a Manager he was for us.
Bad for Derry, agreed, but he took a basically new team to the premier. So for me his judgement is sound.
Christ in a cartoon that man lost the plot moons ago. Glad he's managing you lot as he'll bring you down again. Him and seery suit each other living in the world they live in..........
