    Favourite Opposition Player

    With all the hatred doing the rounds I thought maybe we could turn the tables and give those opposition players we like an honourable mention.
    For me theres only one winner and that has to be Digger.

    I'll go with Stuey as well.

    Tony Bird has taken the section O stick about his "Back to men" hair in a good way as well (I suppose Myler would've been on the list as well for the last game of the season, but then he's one of us now).
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Digger for sure. Especially after the semi-final replay in United Park when he showed he had a bit of charachter after that little f*cker Dessie Baker took a hissy fit.

    Yeah it has to be digger, always a class act no matter what anyone says about him he takes it in the right spirit. Great player too.

    Stu Byrne defo and Willie Bruton is a nice guy aswell but i don't really hate other than Alan Reynolds,Shane Robinson & Trevor Molloy.
    As for managers i'd have to day Pat Dolan is a great ambassador for the league and always has respect for any team he is up against.Pat Fenelon is alright aswell and on the hate list would be Stephen Kenny and not because he left Longford but it's all down to the remarks and comments he made afterwards and i think he is a very bad loser.Reynolds is a tramp and Roddy Collins is a snake who will jump ship any chance he gets no matter where he is.

    Digger and Don Tierney with Dublin City.

    From next season you can probably add Danny O Connor, Myler and Cronin to my list

    Has to be Jonnie Kenny(Unsure) and Paraic Moran(Athlone Town)-Both former Rovers players and did a lot for the club. Even tough Kenny did join Harps . Where is he now any of ye know, think he has left Harps
