I was really hoping Alan Matthews would get that job. One way or other, the Bohs fans will hound out this chancer as well.

absolutely. i have great respect for Nutsy but the reality is that he's a very average manager. 3 league titles sounds great on paper but it masks the many flaws to his tactics. I don't think he can be possibly as bad as the red trousered spoofer but i'm pretty certain that Nutsy's Derry disaster will not be a once off.

What yiz reckon fellas?

Gavin "shels"

I'm going to put a €10 on it to be honest, 50-50 chance they'll play there this season.

According to the Bohs forum Davey Scouse is off to them, along with Shels goalkeeping coach Fred Davis.

Maybe im putting 2 & 2 together and getting 5 but this Fenlon Scouse thing is going beyond weird and going to a totallly different place.

Club Fined by FAI for obeying Garda

Class headline from the Drogheda United website: http://droghedaunited.ie/scripts/Article.asp?ArticleID=1297

I really, truly fúcking hate the FAI.

gimmick

in the interest of safety

If they really, truly cared about safety that pit should be knocked to the ground.

Drogheda are not above the law. Fully deserved fine for them. Kudos FAI. No doubt the money men of Drogheda paid well to allow this.

Just another example of bribes from new the nouveau riche. Wonder where the money has come from!

"Drogheda" :rolleyes:

Gavin "shels"

How the likes of Drogheda and Finn Harps get licenses to play in the LoI with the state of the stadia is crazy.

And then Cobhs' stadium, every stadium by UEFA regulation if segregation is being inforced both sets of fans are supposed to have toliets and food facilities, instead Cobh give you a pass to go out to the local Spar for food:rolleyes:

Gavin "shels"

Bobby Ryan to Pats.;)

Tolka Park was a a progressive stadium until you decided not to invest a few more quid in it after building that "half stand".

Turner's Cross is probalbly the best ground ATM which is has been been built like a lego set over 12 years and will always have a few lego pieces mising.

If the clubs on this island decided to thing stratigically 20 years ago we would have 4/5 decent grounds in this league.

All hail the AIL I say.

Strategic thinking for a change,

Very little to no Shels money was spent on Tolka Park in recent years. The New Stand was grant funded. Ollie was too busy dumping the sale money from Tolka into our team

Are you on drugs?

You know where that money went, well, money that didn't really exist.

The "half stand" you are on about wasn't built the whole way across because of planning difficulties in relation to the houses on the Richmond Rd.

LeixlipRed

There's also a story about the misappropriation of the other half of the grant money for that stand. It fell in the Tolka I believe Haha, and when was Tolka ever progressive? Back in the Bovril days?

Misappropriation of funds at Shels?

Never happened.

Although, have you seen the goatse invasion on our forum. Very funny.

Don't make me laugh. Turners' Cross has the New Shed which is amazing but apart from that nothing amazing in that stadium.

Have you been to Athlones' New Stadium, I'd say thats a better stadium than Corks.

applehunter

Personally I wouldnt call it "amazing".

The point is that there has been a gradual progression.

Tolka was the "Best" and by a long way but the club left if go.

How much did Cardiff pay for him a few months back ? Hard to believe there is no fee involved.

bohsman

Are Cardiff not in dire financial straits? a couple of grand a week off the wage bill should come in handy. But then Kdjac is the only one to say its a done deal so who knows

The strongest George rumours down here are that he is going to Bohs in the summer.

LeixlipRed

His agent tried to flog him to Shels pre-Cork's title season but no doing over wages. Think Heary has gone on record with his feelings about the twat too. Can't see Fenlon buying him. Too much potential for disruption. Any word on Fenn heading back south? He managed to become even more fat and useless at Bohs last year. I really despise that guy. Total mercenary

Gavin "shels"

Bobby Ryan signed from The Pars to St.Pats for around €15,000.

Jamie Harris is signing for either Cork, Pats or Derry.

Jason Byrne has yet to sign for Bohs, he is awaiting a financial package from Cardiff City as he's contracted till May 31st.

Neil McCafferty has left Derry for Grays Athletic.

Hahahahahahaha:p

I wouldn't even wish him on Shels if he offered to play for free.:D

gimmick

FIFA have abolished the 3 clubs in one season rule. The FAI are taking the credit for it. They should in fact be thanking Cork City for their pressure and research.

This opens the way for George O callaghan to return in time for the start of the new season. Question is though, will it be with free spending Bohs, or Cork City. Please may it be the latter.

I fúcking hate that man. He sucked money from Shelbourne last season, the only one of the players who insisted on having his contract honoured.

He was being paid by Shels and Derry last season.

If I say other names about him, I'll be banned.

I hate him.

Two words, Hadjuk Split. He's a hero for that if nothing else

Blah blah blah, what he did to Shels last season blights his record in other years in my eyes.

Anyway, even when he was around he couldn't have given a shiney shíte about "run of the mill" league games, when he was fit to play that is.

No, I still hate him.

If I was in his position, in any job or situation, I'd do the exact same thing.

Because they are men of honour, who played for the shirt.

Alan Moore is a mercenary.

What would you do if in your current employers were in financial ruin after agreement upon a contract? Would you just take it on the chin or would you demand that your contract be honoured?

Oh and for the record I think Moore is a ****!

estebancambias

Anyone know how much Byrne cost Bohs?
