Nah think its 2 season cycles, so last season was the second season and then start from fresh again this year with next year being a reverse of this season if that makes any sense Yeah I noticed straight away with the game on the summer break No chance of a roof, sure we are breaking the rules by spending money on players instead of facilities!! ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

Seems a bit odd tbh, should just be reversed again this year |

Don't think that would be fair if they didn't change in every two years, you could end up having the top teams away twice every second year with no chance of it changing ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |
Posted By: starryplough

Likewise then every second year you could have the top teams all at home twice  .Seems to me a fairer way than for two concescutive years having the same advantage/disadvantage |

I think we played every day of the week last season except Thursday. So although down for friday nights it could be any night due to rugby getting priority in Thomond Park. |

Got to say I love Roddy's attitude, refreshing to hear a manager speak with confidence rather than the usual cliche patter. Don’t settle for second best! Published: 27 December 2013 Picture credit: Brian Lawless / SPORTSFILE BRANDYWELL boss, Roddy Collins, has made an appeal to everyone associated with Derry City Football Club asking them: “Not to settle for second best!” And having spent quite a few hours over Christmas watching matches from last season on DVD, Collins insisted that the talent currently employed at the Brandywell must be the envy of so many of the other top clubs. The Dubliner has continued to speak with potential recruits and with so many players having given him the ‘thumbs up,’ he believes the future was bright, just like Christmas “it’s red and white!” he laughed. Having spoken regularly to former Sligo Rovers boss, Paul Cook, who now holds the managerial reins at League Two side, Chesterfield, Collins was given a real boost. “It’s just that the players andmanagers I’ve spoken to remain upbeat when I mention Derry City,” he said. “I think people realise that the club plays football the way it should be played and having then watched so many DVD’s of matches from last season, I have to admit, it’s really has given me a great buzz.” “I’ve continued to speak to players and while I’ve openly said that we don’t need too many new faces, a few experienced heads in the right areas would be excellent,” he added. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas period and I honestly can’t wait to get started in pre-season. “I will have a few players over to have a good look at them and I always want to run my eyes over our own players on the training ground.” While acknowledging the fact that the nucleus of a decent team was in place before he arrived, he asked his players and, indeed, supporters not to settle for second best any longer. “Let’s us make a New Year’s Resolution that we’re not going to settle for second best,” declared the Dubliner. “I think it’s vitally important that players believe in themselves as the squad that’s in place in my view, will challenge at the business end of the table. “I’m not going to make any predictions at this stage, but if I can get three, four or even five experienced players, then I do believe this club will become a force.” And he dismissed suggestions that a top four finish would prove to be acceptable in his first year in charge on Foyleside. “Shamrock Rovers have flattered to deceived over recents. They’ve now got a second team in the First Division which is absolutely amazing,” he remarked. “St. Pat’s have added Mark Quigley. I don’t fancy him while Keith Fahy has returned and he hasn’t played in over a year, so that’s interesting. “I think Cork City, under a new manager, will face a period of transition as will Drogheda while Sligo have been forced into cuts in their budget. “Dundalk were the surprise packages from last season and every other team will be fully aware of their credentials this season, so really what have Derry City got to fear?” he asked. “The majority of last year’s squad remains in place and the younger players are now another year more experienced. That can’t be bad. “I will be asking the players to arrive for work with a smile on their face. Enjoy their training and give me 100 per cent on the pitch. That’s all I can ask of them, do that and I’ll worry about the results,” he continued. “I don’t believe any team will run away with the league title, it will be won over the final six games of the season so the key is, obviously, to remain within touching distance. “I promise that I will give 100 per cent and I can assure the players that if they remain loyal and do as I ask then we will all improve.” |

| I'm well aware that this has the potential to go tits up (same as most new appointments) but until we see otherwise we are right behind Roddy. I'm glad that he is coming in with this attitude though because a number of our players to hear this stuff and start living the correct way and begin to believe that we can compete. He has talked the talk now he'll have to walk the walk. |

Roddy getting players to live the right way? That will be interesting. He could serve you a sh*te in a bap and you would be delighted. This is going to be hilarious |

It clearly states in my post to Cabra Hoop above: " He has talked the talk now he'll have to walk the walk." If he isn't up to the job and results aren't good I'll have no problem admitting it. At the moment all I am saying is that his attitude is a breath of fresh air, I'm looking forward to the first game now, where do ye lads play this weather? |

I'll give you a clue, the only place Derry Newco have played us in Dublin |
Posted By: roverstillidie
Date Posted: 31 Dec 2013 at 10:34am
Its the same cliche ridden fresh air he always spouts. You pointedly missed the 'I need 5 players to compete' cop out clause in there. If he doesn't get his budget for these players its the boards fault he failed. The fact you can't see history repeating itself...
The same place we have always played your Newco.
And while we are at it, do Rovers and Derry not have identical municipal stadium arrangments? What a dullard you are.
|
Posted By: Stillhuntinghenry
Date Posted: 31 Dec 2013 at 10:56am
But he's right he does need 5 players but it's only to replace the ones he's let go mainly. Ruadhri Higgins and David Mcdaid were released last week and I understand that Kevin Deery will not be offered a new contract. Dean Jarvis is out of contract and having trials in GB, Osbourne wasn't offered a new contract, rafter has joined cork, madden has join you lot, Stewart Graecen has joijed some pub side in Scotland. That's 8 out and we have brought 3 in, he needs at least 5 bodies and it won't effect the budget as he had removed some of out top earners above. The stadium joke was tongue in cheek but obviously over your head ya headbanger |

Listening to Second Captains football podcast earlier. There was a look back of the 2013 year with Richie Sadlier and Dion Fanning. Question was what were the 3 most entertaining games they had been to all year. DING DING DING...the FAI Cup Final. Maybe Fanning was not at the game but I remember Sadlier working for RTE that day. Surely to god it must have been up there. Was it not as good a game as I remember, or did the finale gloss over a poor game? |

I haven't heard the show so don't know the full background/criteria but as a neutral it was a very enjoyable game to watch. If it was the FA Cup final we probably would have been told it was one of the best ever for the excitement alone, leaving aside the quality of the 90 mins |
