Obsessed, me? Nah...

Point of order, you are wrong as Ireland was where he was born.

What the feck...?!?!

EnDai - have you actually been reading this thread...?

And sure -Dolan's only in the league purely and simply to make money. He doesn't even have a hint of any other form of motivation....

Point of order/pedant's corner: neither your point of order about Dodge's point of order, nor Dodge's point of order about ... what was it about? ... is a point of order.
They are points of information.
Just sayin'!

Trust me Colm, he wasn't. He was born in Dagenham. I've seen his UK issued birth cert

Point of odour, it was actually his twin brother Eamonn who was born in Dagenham - FACTISSIMO!!!

So I can see why you'd be confused.

**Raheny Red** · 20/01/2006, 9:58 AM

Jesus christ having an argument about where Pat Dolan was born!!

I've seen it all now!

Dolan was clearly a big suppoerter of the league but he seems to have got very cynical & now just snipes from the long grass.

Colm, for the most part these days, its people say the exact same thing about you being obsessed with Dolan, the guy can do no wrong in your eyes. I dont like the guy as a direct result of his actions. imo he took off with the rope and hung himself. You are like that with most things that happen at the club aswell, you give out yards about the club on one hand and then you seems to think that its only fair that Kearney be given riches beyond his wildest dreams and thats OK. Double standards, its like you want your cake but you have eaten it.

Theres 2 indisputable fact in Colms eyes

1. Dolan is the messiah!
2. He's as Irish as a leprauchan!

Jaysus, glad this aint true. If it were, you could argue the opinion in England about the EL would be getting better than our one when you consider things at Reading at the moment.
Whenever Steve Copell is on TV (Sky Spotrs News etc) and they talk about him pulling Kevin Doyle out of the a*se of nowhere he talks about scouting visits to Ireland enjoying some good football in a progressive league etc. Thats why I cringe sometimes when I'd see Roddy on TV, just waitng for him to come out with some slanderous comment. Love Dolan when he's on Euro panel's on RTE, oozes enthusiasm and belief, the type of character the league needs.

I was going to mention that myself, but I tought I'd just be called a lazy grant sponging student.

**thejollyrodger** · 22/01/2006, 5:03 PM

The league is a bit of a mess but thats no reason for fat boy to have a go

**stevieontour** · 23/01/2006, 5:26 AM

It's all Relativity my dear Gentlemen.

I live in Australia and everyone here reckons that the new A-League is World class. As the games are so slow, there looks like they players have skills, but they wouldn't in a competitive league.

The Eircom League's biggest problem is it's proximity to the English Premier League, probably the best league in the world.

People in Ireland see English Football every week. Aussies see very little foreign football.

So if you compare it to the Premier League, it is a joke. Compared to the A-League, it's world Class!!

The question here is .. Is the Glass half full, or is the Glass half empty ??
