Shamrock Rovers winning the League would be a good thing?

Oh this should be good
While realistically I was thinking 4th this year would be a good return for the first year at home, get settled, get the new manager and his regime in place etc... build in the off season and mount a serious bid next year. Its exceed all of that so far and we find ourselves in with a shout.
Other fans may not like it but at present Rovers is a good news story and the op is correct the LOI given all the bad press recently could do with one. Whats even more significant is that we are doing this within budget and well within the wage cap. Gate recepits have been a huge plus and thats good regardless of which team it is. Lets get people back to the LOI.
I was thinking of putting in plenty more but I don't want to be the one to light the fire on this thread...0 -
Or because of wage cap issuesI disagree. Bohs are struggling but I think Rovers are a completely inferior side. I mean player for player, Bohs imo blow Rovers out of the water. It doesn't say much when the 2nd strongest team in the League is Shamrock Rovers. If you win the League it will be because we messed up, not the strength of Rovers.

I've said throughout that Rovers aren't good enough to be champions, but that doesn't mean they won't. Recent second half performances haven't been good enough and they were punished in the cup.
I think their success can be looked at by the next stable club's performance rather than where they finish in the league. I think the success of their modus operandi will be interesting when Shels go up this season (touch of death....)0 -

This season Rovers are shocking, seriously they have beaten us 4 times this season and fair enough we are quite bad ourselves. But seriously they are shocking, they have played well in the last 12 years and beaten us maybe 5 times ? Now they are awful and they are 1 point off top and beat us 4 times
We destroyed teams in the last 2 years and still finished between 12 and 19 points off top. Something is not right
Rovers winning the league is good for Rovers fans only. Just hope they dotn win the league in Richmond and that "never relegated" banner comes back to haunt us

Bohs clearly have a better team, and they must be commended for unexpectedly finding so many great players amongst the ground-staff.
Although off-topic, I think it's a disservice to say that Kavanagh, Bermingham, Sives, Rice, Murphy and Twigg in particular wouldn't get near the Bohs side. Twigg has outscored Byrne despite only talking one penalty all season and sitting out a few games. Kavanagh hasn't a good run at the level he's just stepped up to, and for me, Sives looks set to become a major centre-half if he gets a decent run.
It's academic anyway. Rovers are a team in progress. Some serious riding of luck has went on this season. A second-place finish would more than exceed my original expectations even if our momentum has given me some hope about the league. Personally, I feel that Rovers could win the league, but won't.
Hopefully Shels will add the first division title to their no doubt overdue Nobel Prize. 0 -

Having said that Rovers are about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better than last year. I won't mind if that sort of improvement continues...0 -

Problem with Rovers is their fans Seriously some expect the league this season, some chanting MON out :eek:
I know a good few rovers fans and one is shocked they are second, goes to every game and is utterly shocked they are 2nd.
Tuesday night was a wake up call to the Dublin clubs, average players playing with 100% effort and well organised by decent manager will beat anyone. And none of those average players on even half what we paying be it barstaff(bohs), partime on 1200(rovers) or fulltime on 2800(us)
Sadly we copped that on the 1st day,hopefully any minute now our manager will cop that.
MON is a decent manager but LOI will take him down, it always does.0 -

Same way you got less than a 1000 in Tolka people wont pay to watch ****.In keeping with historical tradition, O Connor or Maguire to send them down with a back-heel.
Hopefully its O Connor, he will miss.
Daragh will ensure hes unfit it comes to playing vs in a relegation decider, i like him 0 -

Absolutely agree here but then again every clubs has the fans that are like this. The extremists. I heard fans calling for MON's head 3 games into the season!
I'm personally shocked that we are 2nd. As I said earlier I thought 4th was a realistic target this season but give the way its gone the league is there for the taking. Its in our hands. Beat Bohs at home and don't slip up and we have the title. I think the best way to describe the current situation was summed up by a mate after coming out of the last Drogs match.
His words: "I can see exactly why they are down there but I can't see why we are up there!"0 -

Well ive a bet on Shams for the league at 7/1 so.....super_furry wrote: »Hmmm opening up a massive can of worms here. What I will say is that I believe Rovers would be much better equiped next season for any potential Champions League qualifying campaign playing staff wise.
Unless Bohs sign up nine more barmen of course :P
So your saying there may be some bar jobs going in Phibbsboro around xmas?:Pdreamers75 wrote: »Tuesday night was a wake up call to the Dublin clubs, average players playing with 100% effort and well organised by decent manager will beat anyone.

Heard about Pats ringing clubs trying to offload a few players during the window
Everything would be going fine until the players wages were mentioned
The replies went along the lines of
"How much are you playing him?" much laughter "I could get 3 or 4 better than him with that" end of phone call:D
I like bohs, team of choice when i lived in that Dublin, but honestly they should go down for this lark!!!super_furry wrote: »Unless Bohs sign up nine more barmen of course :P
At the end of the day, what exactly is the difference between using loopholes and cheating? 0 -

I seem to remember certain clubs (not to far back) using ground improvement grants to pay players wages...people in glass houses...0 -
