Roddy Collins

Anyone who employs Mr. Collins, much like those who use Mr. O'Leary's 'service', deserve what they get..

And in most cases (Boez excepted, naturally), they get it.

Most of us have had a go at Roddy over something he's said over the years. However, it must be acknowledged that he's get a hell of a lot of things right. One of the things he got right was his prediction in relation to Galway United. While everybody else at the start of last season were singing Galway's praises and saying what a progressive club they were, Roddy was the first and the only one I was aware of, to say that it wasn't going to work and it was going to end in tears. He was 100% right. Look at the mess that club are now.

It's also good that he says the things that manages would like to sat but they can't due to the SS faction within the FAI.

Well done Roddy, I say.

I can't help but feel in Shams fan had not being so tough on him he would have stayed and made sure they survived. Going down is a stain on your club.

the americans say " all mouth and no trousers"

**blueblood** · 12/07/2008, 11:30 AM

Wow, he predicted Galway would struggle. So something Roddy says actually turned out to be true, of all the sh1t that comes out of his mouth he cant be wrong all the time.

No, he said that Galway United would, at a time tht nobody else was saying it.

In my opinion, it is a mark of one's intelligence on what they have to say about Roddy Collins.

The original poster was obviously in the back of the queue when they were handing out brains.

**brianw82** · 12/07/2008, 6:52 PM

Roddy's great. He's the Simon Cowell of Irish football.

Honestly, you'd miss him if he just disappeared!

**cheech** · 12/07/2008, 6:59 PM

Need I say more?

Pa Dolan was also saying it, both were saying it also last season, mainly down to the fact that both of them were going for the GUFC job when available over the past couple of years and were rejected for inexperienced candidates IMO. sour grapes and all that.

I don't think so.

You mean just like Ollie Byrne (RIP) is missed ?

Dream on Terry. Dolan wouldn't have touched that Galway job with a 40ft pole, and I doubt Collins would either to be honest.

"An appalling waste of skin" is a term I read on a forum and worth incorporating now and again.
