monte last night was a disgrace , 2nd half long ball , bohs defence laughing all the way , steward the worst player on the field , he leaves him on , then puts the lad out on the right ffs...he only has his right foot for standing on...none of his subs made any difference ....no sense of urgency , no tactics , no win....simple the man had to go ...the board wont come out of this smelling of roses either ...if you look at his past record , its easy to pick holes in it ...when he managed derry they were full time , when he managed bohs they were also full time , so he had full time players playing against part timers most of his time in loi management ..then he went to scotland were for the first time it was a level playing field ...i.e. all full time players , he failed to cut the mustard there....end of...

Not sure why you're giving out about Kenny and his long ball game as O'Neill was far worse Workrider Laugh , total hoof ball except he won games. Kenny done well with a part time club like Longford, finished 2nd with Bohs and got sacked iirc, went v close with Derry to winning a league, done poor with Dunfermiline but was excellent when he came back to Derry no idea how they finished as high as he did. To be fair he tried to play a bit of ball once he came, i believe the Shams directors said we want to play like the real Rovers in Sligo, but you fans did not like that not did the players and wanted him out. Cool

If you had not run O'Neill as his hoofball antics out of town you may have got closer to us this season Wink

Should come up on the last day of the season Workrider as the real Rovers will be having a party, Sligo lad scored the winner for Bohs last night too Cool

I always say it's great to win but it's even better to win in a bit of style, you should try it sometime.

YOu know a little bit of advice i'd give you my friend, go down after your tea Workrider and bring the boys and have one last family photo with you and the boys and the trophy, might be a while before you see it again, unless you're up our neck of the woods Cool

By the way is it true a season ticket for Shamrock Rovers comes with a neck brace??? Laugh

2012 the year of the Real Rovers ! Wink
