Alternatively just move to Tallaght, and they might just pip Bohs for higher average crowds.

Would that mean we'd have to stop winning things

thats your opinion?everybody is entitled to their opinion no matter what.this is like kindergarten with people knocking each other constantly rather than having meaningful discussions.

The truth hurts the majority of loi players would not be good enough for championship level in the uk.at the fai cup final in attendance was the manager of luton town and he was very dissapointed with the standard and said none of the players on show would make it onto his side.

You keep missing people's points though. No one barr you is arguing that the players are good enough for English teams. You said O'Connor was poor for Limerick. You are the only limerick fan ive heard think so and are using the fact he didn't make it with Ipswich as one reason he is poor. Fair enough if you think he was poor for us from watching him.

O'Connor will be a good signing for Cork because he is a good LOI player. What he has or hasn't done in the UK is of no relevance.

I'd be shocked if the Luton manager would base the quality of a player on one game. Any coach/manager that does that is foolish. That's like saying because some average player had a stormer in a cup final he is suddenly good enough for Championship.

You won't find a single LOI fan that has EVER claimed this.

He's talking through his hoop, but you go ahead and belief what some random low level English guy said to Roddy Collins if you like

Where would we be without Del Boy to come in and deliver some harsh doses of truth? We'd probably all be off planning our trips to see Dundalk beat Cork in the Champions League final.

Its actually what Roddy Collins said that John Still said to him. Our journalists are just too lazy to be arsed asking John Still about it. I wouldn't believe Roddy if he said he wasn't paying the water charges.

Garry Twigg to Longford

**Longfordian** · 04/11/2014, 8:39 PM

We're going to pay him €2k a week plus a house and a car

I love that this rumour is taking off at last though.

It was Roddy's comment at being "embarrassed" that irks many people. He brought Still over to look at a few players and was embarrassed at their performance.

I don't know who these players are but it is very unfair to use such language. It was a poor game and several players played below their normal standards. Can he not just leave it at that? Instead he is using this game as a stick to beat the entire league and every player in it.

**mcgonigle** · 04/11/2014, 9:19 PM

And yet he'll probably still get another job in the league!

**nigel-harps1954** · 04/11/2014, 9:41 PM

Liam Miller to Cork?

**Lim till i die** · 04/11/2014, 9:48 PM

I find it very hard to believe that Roddy Collins has ever felt embarrassment in his life.

**Lim till i die** · 04/11/2014, 9:49 PM

ION Shane O'Connor and Lee Lynch to Cork (although I'm not sure why Cork would sign a little midfield dude but there you go)

The Folan deal to Pats is apparently a Folan - Greene swap aswell. (poor Aaron Greene if true!)

he was released by his club in Australia, some city fans speculated that he might be interested in coming home on our forum and the Echo shamlessly went with that as a back page piece. Theres nothing substantial to it as of yet

Ger O'Brien's reaction on Twitter was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages.
