Viking fury as Roddy walks to Hoops

Dublin City chief executive Ronan Seery has described the surprise defection of manager Roddy Collins to relegation rivals Shamrock Rovers as “the lowest thing I have ever seen in football”.

Collins jumped ship from the eircom League premier division’s bottom club today on the morning of the Vikings’ crunch match with Drogheda United, a game the Dubliners must win if there are to have any hope of survival in the top flight.
