Of course an opinion can be inaccurate! If I said it's my opinion that the world is flat, I would be inaccurate. You don't know what you're talking about.

The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.

Exactly .... why all of a sudden is an English club giving eL clubs a hand out like this? I have been supporting eL along time and i have never been given any reason to believe that they would help us out. I have never witnessed an eL come off better with an English club involved. Get bitten once fair enough, get bittne twice, then maybe but when you are toren to shreds from the dog you stay the fawk away from him.
Why is in now any different because its Rover, Galway or Pats? Out of all the clubs i'm more suprised by Pats thinking they would be a bit clued in to some degree. Galway probably think its Christmas, and Rovers have a history of not learning.
Leicester were meant to have us kings of Europe after the link up with City, and we obviously are still waiting. It was too good to be true, they were doing it for the good of the game. It was a gesture of good will. It was a gift horse, dont look it in the mouth.
Rovers fans cant see for all the lights and shiny things, fair enough but we'll all be here to say we told you so when your flat on your face again.

Jesus lads, is this a slow news day or what.
Shamrocks pull a few strings, get themselves a glamour friendly/team bonding junket together for their squad. Well done to them, more power etc.
Their players are stll reletive unknowns in the Irish game. I know the hooped huns like to talk their players up but who'se getting taken in here.
Sunderland can have any player they want from the Eircom League for what is a pittance in English League terms - the clubs are too poor to say no and the players would probably swim over the Irish Sea if they had to in order to get top flight (ish) football in England.
If Sunderland had some nefarious plan to steal Irish players then would they not ask over a team from the top of the higher division rather than a team from the top of the lower division.
Either you are wumming, and I have been taken in, so fair play to you - or you're off your rocker.
Cogito ergo Bohs
Even a Bohs fan can see it for what it is
False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
Yeah, that must be it. Thanks for the help. Yawn.
Our lot are flying over on Wednesday morning, playing Sunderland that afternoon, flying home that night. Ninety minutes of a pre-season friendly will really give Sunderland a good idea of who they want to poach off us.

Reading only needed eight minutes to poach Shane Long.Our lot are flying over on Wednesday morning, playing Sunderland that afternoon, flying home that night. Ninety minutes of a pre-season friendly will really give Sunderland a good idea of who they want to poach off us.
Lads i'll agree i sound fairly alarmist here, but i'd definitely wouldn't be jumping in with two feet. Fact of the matter is you'd have to question why Sunderland are doing this and it would be madness not to. If Quinn is being so supportive then why didn't he invest in the club first day when Rovers were nearly a memory? And dont wheel out the "green giant" sure why wouldn't he, he's Irish lark. And €40 is not an investment on his part. Its a joke.

Not for one second do I think any of our players will end up at Sunderland BUT we're in dire financial straights and if they wanna pay €200k for any of our players I'd snap the hands of them. All well & good having intentions of succesful sides but pragmatism has to come into it when we're talking LOI side. If Sunderland offer us a million I'd sell the whole fecking squad to them...
As it is Its just a friendly. Fair play to ROvers for organising some quality training facilities. Pats/Drogs/Bohs organised it in Spain, ROvers did it in Sunderland. In the past Curtis Fleming organised it so that Pats would use Middlesbrough and even Darlington's facilities. No big deal...

So - how many Drogheda players are Zenit St Petersburg going to sign then?
Kom Igen, FCK...
About the same number that FK Shinnik Yaroslavl signed off us last year. Or that Leicester, West Ham, Sunderland, Kilmarnock, Huddersfield, etc signed off us after we played friendlies against them in the years before the switch to summer soccer.

What a load of rubbish. Just because you got shafted on the Doyle and Long deals doesn't mean other clubs will make the same mistakes.
So Quinn gives us 40 quid a month, more of a publicity stunt than anything iif you ask me. On the back of it we get to go over and use excellent training facilities for free!
As for the falling flat on our face bit, thats just utter ****e. We turned down any player who asked for wages we didn't feel were within our budget and have largely the same squad as last year with just a few low profile additions.
Your bitterness over losing your big assets for peanuts is completely clouding your judgement.
Dead right i'm bitter, not clouded in the slightest, just sceptical, very sceptical. Its a rule of thumb at this stage.

On what do you base these priceless nuggets of information? Since WE the supporters took over the club where have we established a 'history of not learning' as you so eliquently put it?
Either way people here can dream up whatever conspiracies they wish, though i must admit it reads as wishful thinking on their part as opposed to a constructive thought process! An inner perhaps fear of how strong Rovers may be in the coming season??
If however someone at Sunderland decides during the course of our visit we have a player they could use, at this stage he's under contract & they can pay handsomely for his services!! If that constitutes falling flat on your face well i suppose it would be Cork that would forewarn us, afterall they have a history of to doing it with the applomb of an olympic diver with no arms!

That comment in my post was included to question the thinking behind the questionable content of your own posts. Hence the question marks at the end of the sentence. Based on what i've read previously i'm struggling to understand why you seem to be grasping the nettle on this so tightly, unless of course the cork delusions have failed to abate in the season we were away from the premier division on 'other business'?
