    Rennie to return then ?

    Predictable that he'd go as soon as something better in the UK arrived.

    I wonder if the time is right for Francis Rockett to take the team until the end of the season.

    That's a bit of a bummer as it just looked like he was starting to get the team going on an upward curve.. I'd like to see Rennie come back but I don't know if he left on great terms with the owners etc.

    well that is disappointing to see. Rennie would seem the obvious choice but depends on his relationship with power. three managers in one season is never good though.

    Unfortunately I cannot say I am surprised.

    JS's managerial record is not one to give confidence he would last.

    I'd be very surprised if Rennie came back. Openly critical of the club, and utterly frustrated with them, after his departure.

    Got messed around in Dundalk too by an even more dysfunctional Chairman, some of the stuff coming out from there is completely bonkers.

    Best for all concerned if he put the head down with the U21s.

    I'd give Rockett the job for the rest of the season and get Vinny Preth in for 2021 season

    massive win for us

    Those loses against Harps and Sligo are even more frustrating now

    Give Rockett the job for the rest of the season now ?

    Draw in the sligo match is a good result for us and we move a point ahead of them in 4th place. Dundalk have a game in hand

    We play Rovers next on the 21st after they get annilated by AC Millian

    More hassle in the club, the local reporter Adrian Flanagan has been banned from the RSC for some comment he made about John Sheridan travelling to England. Seems an extreme measure to ban a journalist from covering the club at the home ground.

    Always seems to be some trouble going on these days.

    Whatever trouble needs to stay off the pitch and out of reach of the management teams (that goes for whoever's appointed too)

    I see the drama unfolding yesterday over it.
    A certain group owner posted the accusation also but deleted leaving Adrian take the heat.

    Best thing they could do is to shut down that page it’s just being used to stir ****e and cause trouble.

    Absolutely it’s become his own bitching page, he should be shut down. As for Adrian it’s very extreme but I’d love to know the real reason. He portrays himself on social media as a poor lad suffering but he’s always back stabbing ppl and stirs up heat he would not be so brave to back up himself, believe me I’ve pulled him on a sly remark one day as we were leaving the pub and he retreated back into his shell fair quick. He does have his issues but he compounds it all with his behavior and the guy who banned him is security manager so I would trust his judgement over what Adrian is putting out.

    Very sinister tactics of the group owner, agreed the group now serves no purpose other than a personal vendetta.
    Quite sad really when you see someone declaring themselves as a super blues fan but is obvious he wants to destroy the club at every opportunity.

    Anyone else not a ****ing notion what people are talking about with a group, a greatest journo ever, or a page? Just me?

    How can you be a journalist and a fan? Wouldn't that ruin your objectivity?

    Not really though, I mean. Names would help for a start, the greatest journo ever with then bang of drink off him I'm assuming is Eamonn dunphy, the group, **** knows, the page, presumably Facebook something or other but really it's all just in joke kinda gobbledegook to my poor excluded brain.

    M. Keane, P. Elliott & A. Flanagan are the group, wasters and the latters behavior is catching up with him, now he is saying it’s a vendetta over the last couple of years, bringing homophobia into it and all sorts now so that page needs shutting down asap

    the group/page referred to is a Facebook group/page for supporters of the blues. it's run by a chap who has been banned from the rsc. I don't know the ins and outs of the ban so I'm not going to get into that, but suffice to say there is no love lost on either side at this stage.

    If that is true, pathetic stuff.in fact I'd guess that SOME of keyboard warriors need a bit of a reality check. You'd swear some of these lads were jailed un-justifiably they way they go on. Im fully aware I'm a bit ignorant on the ins and outs of this 'story', but I'd rather a root canal than listen to some of their grievances
