Cork to go the wall in a fortnight.
Bohs in serious trouble also.
Drogheda only guaranteed to last until the end of this season.
Its fucked i’d say.
Here, Rovers chaps…How did ye get away with all those debts ye left behind ye. What did ye end up paying the creditors, 10p in the ?
:rolleyes:
No club in the League of Ireland should be full time. When will the lessons be learned.
Limerick fooked aswell TT. Benefactor has gone tits up.
The game is holed below the waterline this time.
Only Colin Healy and Joe Gamble have been paid in recent weeks down here, seems wrong, and how must the others feel. Easy to see why City have gone to shit. I feel sorry for Doolin, its an impossible situation.
Tom Coughlan - Wanker.

They said on MNS tonight that some supporter poured a full pint of beer on top of Doolins head after losing to Pats.
How are things in Asia, TT?
I’m back SS. Couldn’t miss the Munster Final. Couldn’t miss the Glory.
The 1st news I caught on TV when I got back had a couple of hundred Rovers thugs knocking down a wall or something…nothing changes.
They tried to kill young children in Bray, TT. Only the bravery of the guards prevented bloodshed. A wall collapsed during the riot.
Galway in trouble as well I believe?
Surely all these clubs will just have their debts cleared by a court and then they will all be given brand-spanking new stadiums by the Irish state at the tax-payers expense? 
Dont think people losing their jobs and a whole industry collapsing is anything to be getting a horn about.
Very sad but if the maths dont add up then the business model is bound to collapse eventually. The maths havent added up for LOI clubs in a long while and maybe never have. Not sure they will be saved this time.

No sympathy for them at all…how many of them has it to happen to before they realise you can’t have a fulltime set up in that 3rd world league…

I think you can have a fulltime setup, eventually, but not until you build the clubs first and attract fans. There’s no reason you couldn’t have something on a par with Norway, Finland, Albania, Slovakia etc but it won’t work with the current clubs in their current financial situations.
Money has had a horrible effect on the league. A bit like Gretna in Scotland you’ve had clubs buying the title (or some success) and then going backwards because they spent beyond themselves. They’re copying the EPL model in trying to buy up all the talent from the lesser clubs but without rich owners are a tv contract to support this everything just falls apart.
FAI seemed to have done decent work on putting more stringent financial controls in place but they obviously weren’t good enough. The league needs a salary cap, squad size restrictions and almost something like central contracts (rugby-style) so that all existing clubs can share resources equally. Having a financial battle between clubs with no money has only resulted in disaster.
Not a word out of that ballbag NCC about all this,hed be in like a flash with some nothing story about a GAA man kicking a dog or something if he got his hands on it though.The demise of this joke of a league will be followed by the death of its joke parent organisation the FAI,they own nothing,they blew thier golden era on junkets and pocket filling,Milo Corcoran,Bernard O Byrne,John Delaney,Fran Rooney,David Blood one of them is a bigger joke than the other.Irish soccer…leave it so.
All these tin-pot spivs who own these clubs should have a declaration of reckless trading made against them and they should be pursued for unlimited liability. How come every GAA club in the country can balance the books yet these fly-by-night jennets are going broke every year? It’s a disgrace how these Del Boys have run the game into the ground. You cut your clothes according to your cloth, something the LOI failed to understand.
Typical culchies.
Thick as the pigshit they shovel.
No wonder youse all died in the famine or fooked off to amerikay.
An islnad surrounded by fish in the sea and you couldnt work it out.
The brits had an easy time keeping youse down with your forelock-tugging ways

This Cty thing is affecting our own GAA club. One of our best young players is contracted to City, but usually only plays with 2nd team. Anyway, part of the trick to get out of trouble is for Keano to take 3 young fellas with him back to Ipswich to help City out for coin. Unfortunately our guy is one of them it seems.
Some one having a go at Doolin is an idiot, Tom Coughlan has decided to pay 2 players and nobody else, the best manager in the world would struggle to motivate them, especially as they are soccer players.:rolleyes:
