Shoddy Collins Star Today

**finnpark** · 17/09/2006, 11:34 AM

Any1 read his column in the star today?

He wrote a whole column on why he should be Bohs manager. It was such a load of crap. Worth buying just 4 the laugh but warning, it will make u cringe.

He also said PSG just wanted a draw and derry don't have a hope in the 2nd leg which must be encouaging for city fans. He is a fake, a chancer and a useless jornalist

Yeah, I'm certainly encouraged by Roddy's words of wisdom. He's such a clown. Anyone who saw PSG play on Thursday and the match before against Marseille knows they are not technically brilliant and are there for the taking. To say Derry have no hope is ridiculous and would seem to suggest Roddy thinks the score will be 4 or 5-0 to PSG. If Derry do manage to progress, this joker should be hung, drawn and quartered.

I dont understand it though , how a manager of Roddys experience and class would want to manage a team in a league as crap as ours.

**el punter** · 17/09/2006, 12:16 PM

You have to wonder why our media keeps giving him a platform. If he was ignored then he would go away.

You call him a journalist??

There is no doubt that PSG, with all their big guns back, will win the tie at home, but it's standard procedure for Roddy to say that all our clubs will fail in Europe, regardless of the quality of their opponents, or stage of the competition.

It's strange that The Star has two NL columnists every week, Pat Dolan who represents progress, and Roddy Collins who represents failure.

I think Dolan has changed a lot in recent years since he was forced out of Cotk City. I can't remember the last time he had a pro eL rant. I think his only interest in the eL now is business.

Pathetic self promoting spiel.

So you've managed in England. So have many **** managers.

**Jaime** · 17/09/2006, 6:37 PM

Roddy writes sensationalist stuff -> people buy the paper just to get themselves wound up. Simple stuff really.

**bennocelt** · 17/09/2006, 9:48 PM

why the hell would anyone buy the Star anyway

Oh really? Who exactly are these big guns? Rothen and Dhorasoo? Because they were the only two absent in the Brandywell, or maybe you want to include Pauleta who came on as a sub and touched the ball once out on the wing. There is obviously some doubt if the tie is 0-0 because I feel that all Derry have to do is score once and defend like they usually do to win. PSG also seem to be having some doubts themselves with their official site having a poll up to determine what the fans think their chances of progressing are and the uncertainty of their manager's future. You have no idea what is going to happen, so coming out with a bold claim like that really won't help, unless you like the taste of words.

He is a complete twit and he is making himself look like a fool every time he opens his mouth.

PSG left players at home for the first leg, and left Pauleta on the bench. They showed what they are capable of in the last 20 minutes of the first half in Derry, and there will be a lot more of that for the 90 minutes in Paris. Gretna scored early in both legs against Derry, but if PSG score early in the return, it could be a long night for Derry.

Last year, Shels drew 0-0 with Steaua, and 0-0 with Coruna the year before. They lost heavily in the returns, and I can't see Derry breaking the sequence.

**TonyD** · 18/09/2006, 12:11 PM

Read the article alright, and had a good laugh. This is the same Roddy who was telling anyone who'd listen (Which isn't many I'll grant you) just a few weeks ago how crap the league was, and how he had no interest in working as a manager in this country again. Really, the word shameless could have been invented for the Rodster.
