Rovers in Turmoil

[arbour]

Just heard this morning that Rovers captain Aidan Price called a fan meeting last week.

they invited 100 fans to the meeting to explain that the players are finding it very hard dealing with the pressure that comes with playing for Rovers. Apparently Price told them that its all rosey when they are leading but the negativity that comes from the stands when they are losing or drawing against a supposed weaker team is affecting the players.

Jonathon Roche also told them that next season Rovers arent going to take an allocation of tickets for any away game because of the way their supporters are treated. Roche said that Rovers were keeping some clubs going with their big travelling attendances and that if they didnt take tickets for away games then some clubs would feel it in their pocket. They hope that this threat will result in the supporters getting better treatment from security

Im sure there was more said, anyone else hear anything????????????

maybe if their fans werent knackers they would get treated better.

Do you know what I inclined to believe that, what an arrogant pompous shower of cunts. It's wasn't that long ago they were going around cap in hand hoping for the generosity of others for their very existence.

They definitely had a fans meeting last week. called by the players

[saintly]

Fans turned on the team out in dayler and started telling o neill to fuck off to hibs etc so he asked for a clear the air meeting with the major players among the fans so three could all unite during the run in.

seemed to have the opposite affect. Registered on forum there and saw this post.

Apologies if it has been discussed elsewhere but I feel MON's demeanor at the hastily arranged meeting on Thursday night was very telling in light of yesterdays mother of all fuck ups.
Leaving Dalymount on Tuesday I was still confident that we would win the league. The two point cushion and two home games out three remaining gave us a significant advantage.
However that confidence was shattered when I heard MON speak on Thursday. He was very nervous and was at pains to urge the fans not to get on the players back for the remaining games. He justified this request by listing the reasons why we would upset the players i.e very young squad, inexperience, not as well paid as people think, part time so on. He then went on to tell us that bohs squad has all those qualities we lack. He then uttered words to the effect of 'even if things don't work out for us in the league, the building work on'. In effect the manager said we may not win the league. Most in attendance I'd guess were stunned by this public admission.
I left the meeting very worried about the implications of what MON had said and my concerns were shared by some others I spoke to after the meeting.
After yesterday, I'm firmly of the belief that this club is too big for MON. He has fallen apart twice in two seasons when the moment of truth has arrived. Last season was his honeymoon season so we'll forgive him that. This season he has choked again and I'm now seriously concerned about the implications of him remaining on in charge at the club.
In my experience players make fans nervous not the other way round. The guy has lost his bottle at the critical moment when he should be inspiring his players onto glory. I hope there's a miracle in the next three weeks and we win the league because if we don't MON has plugged life support into D7 and the 4-in-a-row fever will keep them going for next season at least

They have been nothing more than a mid table club for the last 16 years, bunch of fucking morons

Forumis there. not sure where that line is

[antomorro]

That forum is a great read.

too big for MON, ha ha ha , brilliant . Only those pigs would say that. They really are not in touch with reality

[St. Robbie]

This is a great time to be playing them in the cup IMO

[Super Noel Mernagh]

When we win on Sunday and if they dont win the league MON will be sacked.
Nutsy will be the Rovers manager next season IMO.

Sacking a manager after two 2nd place finishes and two cup semi finals (after years in the wilderness) in his two years at the club. Sounds like something they'd do alright

Nutsy will be the Rovers manager next season IMO.

Definitely

[saintkev]

the arrogance of the scum is unbelievable,they actually believe their own hype! As someone said earlier it wasnt long ago they went from club to club with cap in hand now they believe they have a god given right to win the league.

Shower of deluded cunts!

Cant wait to beat them

[seiphil]

Apparently they are the greatest fans in the league...

I think actions in Dundalk this year, racist chanting last year and most recent that Bohs jocky being hit in the head with an object proves that they are nowhere near claiming that crown.

[Palmerstown Saint]

Makes me laugh, if it wasn't for huge away support over the years their club would now be dead and buried like their ground!! Cheeky fuckers.

And they want better treatment they shouldn't act like the animals they are. Sick of this 'it's only a minority of them that cause trouble'. Bull. Because either they haven't been banning the troublemakers over the years or they haven't been keeping on top of their new hoolies.

Maybe instead of banning away support, they should ban their own fans, seems like they get more abuse of them than ANY away support.

Remember, this is a club that had basically a set of jersey's to there name, were a 1st Div club and could fit their support in a phonebox a few years ago. Who the hell do they think they are? Over-inflated egotisical morons. I hope they go yet ANOTHER year trophiless and see how their support is then. They'll be crying out for away support to 'come back'.

They didn't even have that when the bloke that did their laundry wasn't paid. Remember the "Pauline Fowler's Green and White Army" chant in Tolka?
