Ah that great word again!

IMO not a push but a nudge. Time for your part time fans to get over it really.

After his interview at Terryland McGeever and MacDonncha both agreed he was being a bit mad saying they should ave won it. I have to agree that they had the chances to do it and in fairness most managers will talk up their team one way or the other. Dont think SRFC team members would have been too happy had he said "our finishing was crap (which it was)until the goal so a draw is fair result" it wouldve been a kick in the nuts for them. However Derek Glynn was brutally honest in what he had to say about his own team.

Scully is always ranting about how Shamrock never get the credit they deserve. Considering he thinks they deserve more credit than AC Milan, Man United and Real Madrid combined, he's never going to be happy with any praise they do get.

Rovers should have won in Galway. Deserved to lose against Sligo.
Scully is one of the best managers in the league and doing a great job on limited resources.

Nobody is doubting his managerial ability, just his after match comments. Sometimes he needs to accept his side weren't good enough and not try to make excuses and/or blame someone else.

To be honest - the use of the word "obsessed" is as retarded as the use of the word "delusional".

Anyway - as I have been accused by some (mostly schoolkids supporters of the First Division Demoted Club with the dodgy floodlights) of over moderating and samesuch I'll leave you lot to continue like a load of bald men fighting over a comb.

Carry on...

do you think the referee should have stopped the game for Baz's injury as per directives?

he should have and scully was right to complain. regardless of pushes or nudges, the game should have immediatly been halted to allow treatment for a serious spinal injury. it took the paramedics 18 minuites to stabalise him ffs. thats scully's problem and he is entitled to speak up about it. he never said the sligs didnt deserve their win.

**hoops1** · 26/06/2007, 2:50 PM

In every after match interview
Doolin - goes on about his huge injury list
Mc Donnell - gives out about his teams or the oppositons fans
O Connor - says Bohs dont get enough credit
Scully - says we deserved/ should have won
Nutsy - gives out about the refs
Rico - gives out about the oppositon getting all players behind the ball

They all have there little gripes

But who really cares once they do the job

But to be fair the ball was in the back of the net within 1 or 2 seconds of the injury happening.......nobody (except the keeper of course) knew there was an injury until after the goal had been scored. By the time the ref even noticed that the keeper was down, that ball was in the net.

Ref couldnt have stopped it.

I heard that famous Hollywood star Colin Farrell is a Shamrock Son. Is this true

**new blue** · 26/06/2007, 11:13 PM

Is he a dangerous Son of S(h)am?

**BohsFans** · 27/06/2007, 12:24 AM

Philo hates him as well.

His dad played for us so not sure if that qualifies him as a fan

**swano** · 27/06/2007, 6:49 PM

Farrell has a Hoops SC membership! Looks out for results but I wouldn't exactly call him a fan.

**Dr.Nightdub** · 27/06/2007, 9:41 PM

Swano, you and I both know Hoops SC will take anyone to bump up their numbers.

Nail on the head Sligoman.

Scully is a focused and motivated manager and, dare I say it, would be top of the League if he had Bohs' resources. But who am I to stir the sh!t? What if Sean Connor was manager of Shamrocks? Now that would really stir it.

This thread is about Scully's comments to the media. He likes to stir it and spin it. He does it well.

I think its fairly pointless to speculate on the likes of this. Some managers can do a good job with little or no resources but when it comes to having a budget and a team of star players they don't get on so well. Look at Pete Mahon, doing a fine job at UCD but couldn't cut it with big club. Would Scully have the mentality to manage a big club. Only time will tell as I'm sure if he continues to get results he'll get the chance to make the step up at some stage.
