Great for Peers anyway that he has the backing of a contract at Sligo. I know he's Sligo through and through now but would love to have him down here.
    He thinks he's injured is his biggest problem, that and he's a lazy bsatard who dosent realise how good he has it. Someday he will realise but it will be too late by then, cause he'll be 20 stone sitting on a couch in Grimbsy.

    The club gave him the best of everything and his attitude stinked. The cup final this year was 18 months after his injury and hes still not near fit. He got a bad injury, but ya can still stay fit with not-contact training like cycling or swimming. Lost pretty much all respect for him after the Dundalk away game .. huge game at the time and he's in front of our fans cracking jokes, not looking at the game and basically not giving a fcuk.
    Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

    It's probably different for everybody depending on how well you're reacting to rehab obviously, I know i was told it would be 6 months after the operation and with extensive rehab before I could even consider going back to training and even then after about my 3rd training session I managed to tear it again but i presume that obviously he'd be a bit more looked after compared to an amateur like me ...It's not an inhjury that any player should rush back from anyway no matter how much they wanna get back playing

    Fair play to Sligo for offering him a new contract with such a serious injury though, they deserve a lot of praise for that IMO

    He had the contract signed before the cup final. 2 year deal as well. The last player we had that was playing with us at the time who we offered a contract longer then 1 year. Danny North in July last year.............

    Still, I doubt Peersy would be cut loose over an injury given what he's done for the club.

    With all due respect to Longford, O'Sullivan resigning is a huge coup as I can't imagine you have the money to compete with Premier sides. Do you know something we don't about next year's league structure?

    I think O'Sullivans good job as it is has something to do with him resigning

    From talking to people at the dinner dance we cant see any clubs pulling out of the prem div- the only reason he wants to stay is he gets on famously with our fans plus he has a very good job with BOI Dublin and doenst want to go Fulltime... I would imagine our sponsor Phil Munnelly must have increased his wages as a sweetener to staying.. I am made up about him staying.. I rate him much higher than Dave mooney. And he only needs to score 16 goals next season and he will ave equalled our alltime legend Richie Parsons record alltime of 43 goals.. no pressure eh Davy?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Ah right, I wasn't aware of his job. Still, for a striker you'd reckon he'd want to be challenging himself at the top level (although I've been at a couple of LTFC games this season and can understand why he'd be swayed by the love the fans have for him).

    He probably feels a loyalty to LTFC for as he sees it finally giving him his chance at LOI level. One more year would be the extent of that loyalty if we don't go up and he has a similar year to last year I'd imagine. As Martinho mentions we could probably push the boat out a little for him wages wise with sponsorship, especially now Gillespie is off the books.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    I thought Gillespie was being paid by his agent? Fair ****s to him for being loyal to the club, it's a big thing for players to do in this league, saying that from a club that has induced people to break loyalty on many occasions.

    He was, mostly. His agent is our main sponsor, he's a wealthy man and has been very generous to us in the past few years so it wouldn't surprise me if he put in a bit extra if required. Just speculating though.

    Yeah, to be honest I don't know who is paying his wages. I just was under the impression it was mostly his agent.

    Longford can compete with Athlone, Bohs, Bray and UCD for wages. Not on a full squad but certainly for most players.

    I'm sure the lad knew what kind of offers he'd receive elsewhere. If the bigger teams aren't interested, then why change? Fair play to him for sticking with them

    I am sure he will be..he turned down a nice wage and transport from BOHS, very genuine lad to stay and I hope he beats Parsons record because Richie still crows about it!
