QuoteOne of the best centre backs in the league for 5 or 6 years. Just not recently. Never really recovered from doing his cruciate in 2013 Cup final.
That will probably be the worst signing you will ever make. Chancing it for years at sligo (sorry Sligo fans but he was) last year at pats he was a disgrace. Always knew we had a chance when he played

Agree. He lost a yard of pace which he couldnt afford to lose and became a liability in some games if he was up against a pacy striker. Hard to see him adding much to a top squad now.Originally Posted by Nah Nah Nah Nah
Ya he was a complete chancer. He chanced his way to a League title, 3 FAI cups, a League Cup and a Setanta Cup while playing in the Showgrounds. And was captain on and off during all that time.
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!
Yep that’s a ridiculous comment but as said above he’s never recovered from that horrendous injury in 2013, would be a dreadful signing for Derry.

Dundalk closing in on Ronan Murray, according to Dan McDonnell.
Signing him and Hoban would be great business. I was sure one of them would have been snapped up by Cork.
The sun has Ethan Boyle as going to Rovers, well Harps fans is he any good?
I think we tried to sign both of them.
I'd have been more interested in Murray tbh. Hoban has not exactly set the world alight in his time in England. We do still need to sign a striker though.

Your faith in Bradser is commendable....
....and will be tested if Ethan Boyle is the plan
Murray has not signed yet so nothing for sure until he does, looking likely though.
Agree on Hoban in England, but he still scored 6 or 7 in his time over there, may not be much but its a very tough league, and as much as we don't like to compare to that level (league 2) most clubs there are a lot stronger than most of our PD. Cork, Dundalk, and possibly Rovers / Derry exempted.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
They have Madden, Dean Clarke and Ian McLoughlin linked with us today.
Here on a technicality.
I like him as a player. A bit raw and can be positionally suspect but a good athlete and strong in the air. Versatile too. Was in a full Ireland U21 squad at one stage while with us. Best of luck to him. We missed him badly in the final weeks of the season.

Breaking news ...............Ezeikial thinks Rovers on the wrong track.........Pope declares God exists and following the setting of the sun tonight it will become dark.
I like the strong in the air bit........, recurring problem for us last season was conceding to many goals from corners / free kicks and not scoring enough at the other end from the same. Dave Mc was our top scorer with the head (I reckon) last season and he might struggle for a spot next season with Finn and the two Bolgers in the middle.
Ethan Boyle is a raw talent, but one who will keep improving. He's only turning 21 in January and has already three and a half seasons as a senior player under his belt.
As Mr.A says, he's a big fella, strong in the air, and very versatile. I've said elsewhere, but to me, he's a little bit similar to John O'Shea. He's not the most technically gifted, but is versatile and gives you a raw energy, busts a gut every game, and won't shy away from any tackle. Good at right back, centre mid, and I see him potentially as a centre back.

If Ethan Boyle is a direct replacement for Simon Madden, Rovers are in serious trouble.
Madden has more football in his little finger.

Not necessarily, the Sun could have it wrong
But if Bradser intends to replace a cultured full back like Simon Madden with a raw athlete like Ethan Boyle, that is certainly the wrong track
He was confirmed to Shamrock Rovers in the past half hour.

It just gets better
https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football...om-finn-harps/it is understood the Tallaght side had to pay relegated Harps around €8,000 in compensation because of the player’s age.
I don't see what's funny about this. Boyle has serious potential to step up. He's only 20. He's won young player of the year two years running at Harps. He's worth an awful lot more than €8,000.
