The League of Ireland thread

Brechin - all the same though. Minnow manager for a minnow club.

why did nutsy go for an interview then:p

I already told you, it was a “reverse interview”. :smiley:

information gathering

Spying, even.

What about this? Good to know Rovers got their name on the sign to the stadium anyway, SDCC obviously see them as an important partner in the community.

Still no response from any of the Rovers fans on this. Dodging the questions as usual.

Former Cork football boss Billy Morgan is believed to have turned down an offer to manage Cork City FC.

It has been reported that Cork City owner Tom Coughlan approached the former All-Ireland winning manager and captain with a view to him succeeding Alan Matthews, who parted company with the club last week. But Morgan wasn’t interested.

A source said: "It’s not the sort of phone call you expect and, while it might be flattering that someone would think you could do a job in a different sport, it was never going to be a runner.

“He politely declined the opportunity but wishes City all the best for the future.”

Silence is deafening

Michael O’Leary gives the big up to Rovers today:

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has launched another stinging attack on the way Aer Lingus is being run.

Mr O’Leary made the criticism while addressing the Oireachtas transport committee today on Ryanair’s latest bid to take over the former state airline.

He told the committee that Ryanair was “the Manchester United of the European airline industry” and Aer Lingus was “much more like Shamrock Rovers”.

considering ryanair are facing heavy losses & aer lingus will break even then he is complimnenting us

I see the disgruntled pigs on the Always Ultras forum are already planning a mass boycott of Ryanair. You have to love O’Leary, what an absolute champ.

he’ll get his comeuppance in Feb when he has to explain to his shareholders the 236 million loss, the 75% drop in share price & the reason why he bought fuel at such a high price

A double result for O Leary as he has now effectivelt ensured a lod of Dublin scumbag population wont trash his planes. The mans a genius.

Thats gas, think Billy played in goal for Cork Hibs or seomthing back in the 70s so it wouldnt be that alien to him. I guess thye were hoping hed tap a big support or something.

sounds like tripe - kenna is expected to get the job

morgan is a shit gga manager & a horrible person

I’m not a shareholder though, I just think it’s hilarious that he’s making fun of Rovers in the national media. It’s been on every radio station today, brilliant.

Well at least we agree on one thing

Fair sweeping statement for a man who “knows nothing” about GAA in relation to one of the most successful Cork Football managers of all time.

If there’s one thing he knows how to do, its to get attention in the media. Notice he didnt mention an LOI team who are in Europe this year. By the next time Rovers fans need to fly abroad to see the team, it’ll all be forgotten.

had the misfortune of seeing cork play kerry a few times at the bigotdome quite recently & they were woeful

know 2 lads that dealt with him on a professional level & they said he was a dickwad
