Robbie Doyle

I know it didn't work out at Bray but I think he's the kind of player who would flourish better at a smaller club. Arguably his best year was the one he spent at UCD. The lighter training schedule seems to suit his attitude. I'd love to see us give him another crack of the whip.

Robbie's not playing in the league.

Always a bad sign when a player leaves a club by mutual consent. Definitely has the talent and sound lad to boot.

I think he only has himself to blame at this stage.

Look at the clubs he's left, or fallen out with the manager/club etc.

He had the talent, but just wouldn't get his head down and get on with things.

He did lose his brother recently though didn't he?

Incidently the argument with Kenny wasn't quite like what dublin15bohs said, as far as I know.

He didn't take too kindly to being dropped and threw a temper tantrum. Final straw came when Kenny told Doyle he wasn't taking him to Tallin for the UEFA Cup game (07/04), instead he took one of the young lads, Gareth Logan.

That was the end of his Bohs career.

Yeah about a year ago, when he was at Pats. SADS. Hence the foundation of the Ritchie Doyle Foundation.

Lads, some of ya's talk some far amout of boll*x ! Actually quit funny.

Robbie has played for UCD, Bohs, Pats and Bray. At only one of those clubs did he have a major bust up - that was with Stephen Kenny at Bohs. dublin15bohs version is just priceless ! great version but could'nt be further from the truth. BohsFans is very close but left a big aprt of the story out, which i wont go into.

He was leading goalscorer and player of the year at UCD before he signed for Bohs. Went to Pats then and in his 1st full season was top scorer as well. Signed for Bray this season and things have just not happened for him, he was brought into score goals but never did - there are many blames for this but for me it was that he was being played totally out of position on the right hand side of midfield.

As for this fat thing some fans go on about, well were that comes from ill never know ! Even funnier than dublin15bohs story ! By far the fittest player who we had this season, and by far the hardest working player in our squad. He has a temper on him alright but has only seen the red mist once in his career, plenty of booking thou ! ha ha. How anyone who knows the slightest thing about Robbie call him lazy is nonense in fairness.

He was'nt let go from Bray, he left by mutual consent, as per the clause in his contract.

Yep, Robbie lost his bro in April 04 but is probably a better footballer since that. His work rate is miles better than before that.
