    Brilliant ! You've gotta give Roddy Collins credit for persistence and an all-consuming self-belief !

    You couldn't invent a character like him ! He's blown his shot at football, so now he's moved onto GAA - using the same 'all the way to Croker'-type hype that he used to intoxicate clubs in the Eircom League and English Championship.

    Will the bookies take bets on how many sports/teams he can burn his way through before he finally reaches his nirvana, or surfaces as a PE Teacher ?

    That guy is just unreal, non-stop comedy from him all the time !!

    Fair play Rodders !!
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Funny, but I was wondering the other night if any GAA managers ever fancied doing a Clive Woodward (or indeed if any have?) Mickey Harte for Ireland? (after 6 months training as Rico's side kick)

    Story is probably a pile of sh*t, but I hope its true. The G.A.A. can have the c*nt if it keeps him outta the League of Ireland

    To be fair - more people in the country are likely to need to ask "Who are Bohemian FC" than 'Who is Mickey Harte'.... !

    Roddy doesnt sound like a GAA head. Its going to be very funny watching him trying to motivate the players and watch his subs etc.

    Are you serious - he never shuts the fcuk up about the Dubs!
    If you read his weekly column in the Star you will know what I'm on about!

    "Ah the aul hill was bleedin' rapid tis afternoon' - wen ta Cusack's befur ta game, had a few pints and a couple of ham sambos. Ah aul Maeve makes ta bestest ham sambos goin"

    Obviously not that extreme but he never shuts up about his "sambos" though!
