Strange imagination there Red if you can discern any likeness from words in a novel where Georgie Burgess is hardly described, apart from getting Sharon's knickers off, and Pat Devlin.

I'd suggest you read the book or indeed the trilogy rather than relying on the cinematic version where actors are used!!

Keely or Matthews

i presume they mean the actor that portrays Burgess in the film bears a resemblence to Devlin

bit of trivia the same actor is also Pat Mustard from Father Ted

matthews if the crowds keep stayin away..

**dcfcsteve** · 07/02/2006, 11:55 PM

Roddy Collins.

No matter where he ends up, he'll be in and out before he even has the time to get comfy...!

if Keely gets the boo or walks it will be the best thing for Dublin City, he is awful

McDonnell for me, don't know how he's still in a job after last season. Farrelly will be under pressure as well......

**daniel** · 08/02/2006, 9:35 AM

Paul Doolin, spent alot of money in recent years with know success until last year, alot of pressure on him to perform miracles, if things don't go his way, its bye bye lol

Maybe the relevant boards are willing to give them time.

Fenlon

Why is Rico and Stephen Kenny there then? It's hardly likely that they'll get sacked this season!

Because they have more of a chance they been sacked or leaving there clubs than devo would with bray....

**Speranza** · 08/02/2006, 2:58 PM

Disagree Sligoman.

There were protests outside Turners X at one point last year calling for Rico and Lennox out. Cork fans are incredibly fickle and I wouldn't be surprised to see Rico under pressure if Cork don't get a good start.

Can't imagine any situation where Kenny would be sacked.

**Schumi** · 08/02/2006, 3:03 PM

I don't think even Cork fans are that fickle. Realistically, there's no real chance they'll finish below third at worst and it would be a bit much if they sacked a year after winning the league.

Save this post.

This too!

It's unlikely but all sorts of things can go wrong, on and off the field.

I'm sure Dolan thought he was pretty secure after a good European run and taking Cork to within a game of winning the title but he didn't even make it to the first game of the following season.

Kenny, Keely and Roddy Collins have all been shown the door recently following successful seasons in one way or another. Last season two trophy-winners - Fenlon and Matthews came under a bit of pressure.

I think Devo is a fair exception. Pretty much everything that is going to happen to Bray has happened already during Devlin's reign - if they were going to get rid of him they'd have done it years ago!
