Gavin "shels"

Smash and grab in Waterford! So many wasted chances in the first half from them! Conditions were woeful.

Dont be jealous!

This may bite me in the ass.

There are many things in this world I could be reasonably accused of being jealous of.

Having Mathews as manager is definitely among the least likely.

Having your team in the premier division though?

Even if it will only be a season out. And personal feelings aside, you have to admit he isnt doing too bad a job. If somebody told me in February that we would beat Sligo, Drogheda, Dundalk, been unlucky to draw against Derry and Bohs, I would have laughed at it. But here we are!

Quite embarrassing.

Thought the reference was to Cork on the pitch (see Monkey9 post) as opposed to the surprising news that Cork have casuals.

yah know you quoted your own post there....

not obsessed in the slightest

How bad was it at Dalymount tonight? Didn't get a chance to go but it sounds like I didn't miss much.

Honestly he is doing a good job but he did a good job with Shels in the beginning too, promotion and a cup final. But the squad assembled for our first year back up was better than eight place. They played some horrible stuff and team selections were baffling.
Then the following season he assembles a pack of chancers, thugs and journey men (Adam Hanlon apart)! It's all downhill Mushy!

Btw was it Desmond who scored for Shels tonight? Extratime said McDonagh.

I know Meant I thought he was talking about the game, not the row.

Next 2 games for Rovers pretty winnable before heading to Sligo.

Was a very boring game, creativity lacking from both sides so very few goalscoring chances. Those chances that were made were fluffed badly, with the exception of one nice ucd move which hit the post.

PA announced it as Desmond but it was McDonagh. Literally could have been anyone of 3 Reds.

Roderick comes across as increasingly desperate in this interview...

Ah I'm kinda taking the piss. He is doing a grand job so far though, much better than expectations. Fair enough you hate him, it's understandable.

He didn't.

NIMAN

Glad to see the back of Roddy, he was killing us. Attendances plummeting.

Pizza Hutton in charge for the meantime, but I also worry about him on a longer basis. If he is in charge til the end of the season, we could end up fighting a relegation battle.

GLaDOS

Bollox, bad news for everyone else

yea maybe he can do something in future but he left us claiming we had a lack of ambition. turned out at the agm he had about 15% more to spend than felix did and left us in a lower place, playing horrible stuff
he has a lot to learn as a manager

NIMAN

He stood in before as manager for a handful of games at the Brandywell, and it was awful stuff to watch.

Thats why I worry.

le la rat

I'd be more worried that Derry have people in charge of your club who thought it was a good idea to hire Roddy

also seeing on our forum, rumors that he told the squad he had sacked Hutton on thursday. ironic if true!
i do remember someone saying he wasnt at the game at the weekend

Seen somewere he sent Hutton to watch Bohs.

NIMAN

Yeah Pizza was at the Pats game, instead of the Derry game.

It reminded me of that lad managing Dundalk when they were rubbish attacking the local media guys for daring to ask questions.

Good to get up there, get the three points before someone gets them back in gear. I wonder if Deery will be asked back.

Lovely Bloke

You can be sure some other club will take a punt on him, and their fans will be in here talking him up once again.

What an absolute spoof merchant.

Surely he has burnt all his bridges at this stage.

A lot of people like seeing Roddy in the league as long as he is not near their club

CSF

His work at Monaghan and Athlone will definitely see a club in a bit of a rut take a punt at him, Bohs, Longford (maybe his Athlone history might make it difficult for him but probably not), Bray, Galway, Drogheda would all be clubs he could end up at if their fortunes on the pitch took a turn for the worse.

I think at Shels we probably have a long-term manager now and he's blacklisted as far as I know anyway.

That_Guy

I say we board up the gates at Dalyer and build a moat so Roddy can't get in.

Wasn't he literally laughed out of Tolka before?

I don't know the specifics but there was definitely something yeah

Gavin "shels"

When he stated his interest in the job after Keely left he was laughed at.

Pighead

There were a few calls from Dundalk fans to get Roddy in after Darius was sent packing at the end of the 2012 season. Thank Christ we never went down that road.

I heard he was in for the job when we were badly stuck in early 2007.

Even then the BoM laughed at the prospect (so I was told some years ago).

GLaDOS

Still plenty of Bohs fans calling for Roddy in

Only one home game left against them as well. Result.

Always good to be the straw that got him the sack.

He was definitely sniffing around Tolka Park when all that stuff was happening, I saw him myself having a bit of a laugh and a chat with Ollie and I feared the worst. I understand Ollie was thinking about it, but a couple of board members set him straight.

He'll never work at Shels.
