So Limerick United/City/FC would be railfreight - should be major force, but has vanished from the scene.
I can think of a few weirdos on IRN and Boards.ie would would be the rail transport version of the Dundalk FC bloke with the gallon of petrol the other day. Except he would probably be even more grounded in reality then some of that shower.
Being a life-long Bohs supporter myself and rolling in obscene amounts of other people's money. I would have to say that Bohs are the National Toll Roads of Irish soccer.
Shamrock Rovers are the Fry Model Railway Museum - Living off the past and cheap nostalgia.

I agree with your analysis. Esp as Wheeler supports that Rovers shower. Funny though, the Kilcoynes sell off Miltown, big story, Bohs sell off Dalymount, not a big story. Course, Bohs just didnt happen to auqire it a few years beforehand for a few shillings though..............
