We’re delighted to announce today that we're hiring 1,050 new staff members throughout 2021. Full details of the different roles available at: https://t.co/PRRTLPbSUf @LeoVaradkar @Damien_English @DeptEnterprise & @merrionstreet

@Freewheeler12 Will Fitz is a smashing signing. Very impressive.
Only thing I'd say is the squad definitely needs freshening up, warning signs there since 2024 on some, especially in defence. But Bradley is the only one that can do that. Has earned that right in spades.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@richiekav Hope this lineup doesn't come back and bite us in the arse. Looks like a compact lineup with legs rather than technical ability.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@sean_tougher @Weafer1711 @kgdublin We were miles ahead of anyone with titles won. Won fuck all bar a league for 20 odd years and nobody got close to our records in that time. We got relegated and came back and still won a league before Pats did. 🤣

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@Weafer1711 @sean_tougher @kgdublin 🤣🤣 Pats one claim to any sort of relevance. "Never relegated". We got relegated. Played homeless for 20 odd years and still nobody came close to us. Bigger budget? Tell me what Kelleher pays Kenny on his 5yr contract? Pats hardly paying peanuts.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@sean_tougher @Weafer1711 @kgdublin And begging? Rovers paid there way in every rented "home" over those years. We suffered for 20 odd years and nobody could get close to us in that time. Even when we were on our knees. Says a lot about everyone else

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@sean_tougher @Weafer1711 @kgdublin You've just demonstrated that you've no idea how football works. You need to spend to be successful. How is that not registering. And yes, it was earned. Rovers in 2016 when Bradley took over to now are very different and you can see the evolution over time.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@KillianM2 I agree that the fine issued to Rovers should have been made public though. That seemed pointless.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@KillianM2 Might have been the same independent committee but again, the situations are completely different. Refusing to fulfill a fixture & having a single moron encroach the playing area are very different & would have different rules/punishments to follow.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@McDonnellDan @MilltownVeteran While the experienced element of the squad is one thing, the legs in some of them have run their race. The concern is the younger legs around them haven't the ability to carry us forward. Recruitment for Rovers this winter is the most crucial for the Club under Bradley I reckon.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@richiekav 100%, I dont think we've the depth in the squad for Europe that everyone thinks we have. Domestically yes, as everyone else is well off it & that hasn't helped us maintain standards. No pace in the team at all. Kenny and Farrugia were big losses never replaced.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@KillianM2 Oh i disagree and put it to you but you couldn't answer that the 2 situations were different because it didn't suit your narrative. It's dishonest to assume the 13k views are agreeing with your "observation". Very inflated opinion of yourself.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@jalle51 The Suwalki gap will be the key in any war regarding Kaliningrad. You'd assume russia have plans via Belarus to strike for this if needed. Nato would need to shore this up first.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@TheIrishKieran His past success has earned him the right to correct the issues that have cropt up this year. A team in transition is what every reporter has said about us,which is true. I would agree we've become to slow in our build up play.Farrugia&Kenny are big losses that never got replaced

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@sean_tougher @Weafer1711 @kgdublin Buying leagues? 🤣🤣 You want to be successful you need to spend. You want to push for Europe, you need to spend. You want to avoid relegation, you need to spend. We spent what we earned. It isnt comparible to City😅 Biggest club in the country. Always have been, always will be.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@KillianM2 And views are counted as support or agreement? You're some clown if you think that, I tell ya 🤣👏 jesus, I viewed it and disagreed. I wonder how many are just passers by? 😅

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@Weafer1711 @kgdublin Pats have 1 big game every few years, of course they get excited for it. Rovers have a big game every week or 2. Novelty has worn off. Fans can't afford to pay for all these games home and away. Following a successful team hurts the wallet. What would Pats know about that 😉

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@Brocko1895 @franksfootball2 Savage 👌👏

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@KillianM2 The fact we were issued a punishment is showing that we didn't "get away with it,again". But that doesn't suit your narrative of shitting on Rovers because you're a Bohs fan & can't stand us.That's fine,just be honest because then we can all take your views with a pinch of salt.

[Alan Kelly @alanroverskelly]

@KillianM2 Ok, but again ill ask the question. What has the Ringmahon issue got to do with this? 2 completely different issues. So the punishment will naturally differ. The only comparison was the Drogheda one. If this isn't our 1st offence then the suspended ban and fine is sufficient.
