[bluewhitearmy]

You leave our Pat alone :)

Kev Doherty re-signs for Shels. Hopefully can stay fit as he had a great start to last season.

That's always his problem though, he misses too many games every year.

[GlasnevinRed]

That's always his problem though, he misses too many games every year.

Heard before Christmas that we were talking to him with a view to a pay-per-play contract. How true that is I don't know.

Would be smashing if he could stay fit. Top bloke.

Confirmed that Johnny Glynn has resigned as manager of Mervue

[monutdfc]

From todays Star:

Robert Bayly on trial with Blackpool.
Barry Molloy close to a move to Bristol Rovers.
Darlington interested in Dan Connor(although he doesn't want to leave til he gets what he's owed...good luck with that).
Dundalk linked with Stephen Maher & John Flood.
Rovers linked with ex-Mons Paul Whelan.
Shamrock Rovers or Sligo Rovers?

[gufc2000]

Brian McCarthy, Jamie McKenzie, Tom King and Shaun Kelly all played for us tonight in a friendly, along with a host of other random trialists

[sligoman]

Jamie McKenzie? Former Sligo Rover?Yes, I saw him in Galway tonight. Wasn't sure if it was him but must have been.

king and mccarthy have great potential.. sign them up i say

[Rovers1]

Shamrock Rovers or Sligo Rovers?

Rovers..









Sligo Rovers

[WindmillWarrior]

Why cant Sligo fans just accept that they are known as Sligo and Shamrock Rovers are known, more often than not, as Rovers? Whats the big deal, its not gonna change, no matter how many times you type it differently on the internet!

yea, top class player IF he could avoid the injuries. Excellent signing if he gets a decent run of games

Sligs and Shams fans are a bit touchy about the whole subject. I wouldn't bring it up if I were you.

To resolve this once and for all, why don't Sligo Rovers just change their name to 'Sligo &*%$"£^%$^' (insert own expletive)

[GreenStar]

Sligs and Shams fans are a bit touchy about the whole subject. I wouldn't bring it up if I were you.

No we're not. It's childish!

[Munster Saint]

Dave Mulcahy is apparently on his way back to Pats, nothing official on the site yet though

[Jicked]

Sligs and Shams fans are a bit touchy about the whole subject. I wouldn't bring it up if I were you.

Shamrock Rovers fans don't go on about it at all. It's just very childish Sligo fans on here who constantly post ridiculous and unhelpful stuff about 'Rovers'. It really is cringeworthy to see variations on the following time and time again;

"Twigg has been a great signing for Rovers this year"
"DID HE SIGN FOR ROVERS?? I THOUGHT HE PLAYED FOR SHAMROCK!!!! DERS ONLY ONE ROVERS :cool: :cool: "
"thanked from twenty assorted Sligo Rovers and Bohemians fans"

It doesn't wind up Shamrock Rovers fans, at all, it's just crigneworthy.

I thought it was obvious by this stage...

Sligo fan saying Rovers: clearly talking about Sligo
anybody else saying Rovers: clearly talking about Shamrock

Anybody complaining/questioning somebody using Rovers in reference to the above: arsehole

Grand so, going forward rovers means Sligo - to avoid confusion. perhaps we could have a competition to come up with an alternative name for shams ?

Responding to post by JICKED (the hint was in the quotation at the top) I even embolded the piece I was responding to. which part are you having difficulty understanding ?

[Rovers1]

Careful now.

EDIT- Now look what you've started! DDD hit the nail on the head there.

Mon the Rovers!

[The Betting Man]

As a Bray fan all my life, there has only ever been one Rovers and that is Shamrock Rovers. Sligo are just Sligo

Sligo play in Markiewicz Park.

Rovers play in the Showgrounds.

[pineapple stu]

Nobody cares.

Can we get back on topic?

[WoodquayBoy]

Sligo play in Markiewicz Park.

Rovers play in the Showgrounds.
Twice a year, as they do in Inchicore, Oriel Park, Terryland, United Park, Dalymount and so on. They play their home games in the Tallaght Stadium though.
Anyway, I'm backing DDD's stance on this

[WoodquayBoy]

Nobody cares.

Can we get back on topic?
What were we all talking about again??

[brianw82]

Still no confirmation on what Chris Turner is doing?

Shamrock Rovers seemed very confident of him being announced as their player on Monday, but not a word out of them since? Still training with us, apparantly.

[GlasnevinRed]

A few trialists lining out for Shels tonight. Mark Duggan, Alan Kearney, Ian Ryan, Jack Flynn, and Keith Quinn (former Sheff Utd??).

[Longfordian]

Add 'Rovers' to the swear filter, it might help.

[Donohoe10]

strong rumours from richmond park that we signed dave mulcahy

[Dillonman]

It was in one for the papers yesterday that he has goen back to ye.

[**FrOsTy**]

Decent player is Kearney. We had him down here for a season.

Heard he trained with and played a game with Cork City aswel.


In other rumors theres talk of the long going big pre season transfer news which has hit the headlines bigger than Ronaldo to Madrid that we will today FINALLY seal Cummins signature. Heres hoping anyway.

[Dillonman]

Gareth O'Connor lined out for the Drogs last night...didnt really do anything exciting!

Quote from Kevin L on the Rovers forum..........


For the record, as I said before, Chris Turner has signed a contract with Sligo Rovers and is a Sligo Rovers player.
If there are any further developements, we will let you all know.


Shams will have to cough up I'm afraid.

keith quinn is a good player.... brother of alan quinn and steven quinn...

jack flynn played for pats schoolboys and reserves for a long time... not too keen on him

[Rasputin]

Shams will have to cough up I'm afraid.
They have to really. Even though it is not an FAI/FIFA recognised contract it is still a legally binding contract and thus the same rules apply about the breach of said contract about reimbersment etc.
No way will he be allowed walk to shams for nothing after signing a 2 year contract for us.

[passinginterest]

If you can't register him on the contract that he has signed and he refuses to sign another contract, would the club be willing to keep paying him to sit in the stands?

From what I can gather O'Neill won't sign him unless it's on a free as he wasn't impressed with being turned down in the first place.

[red bellied]

Monies owed from Turners wages will at least be expected to repaid. There is a rumour of a transfer fee as well. Needs to sorted quickly so Cookie can free up Turners wages for new players.

[Rasputin]

If you can't register him on the contract that he has signed and he refuses to sign another contract, would the club be willing to keep paying him to sit in the stands?
And there is the crux of the matter.
But I definetly cant see him being let walk after paying him wages for a few weeks and a signing on fee.

Did anyone do anything exciting on that pitch last night FFS ? Poxy pre season game that you can read nothing into . You seem very interested Gareth O'Connor as a player ! was he supposed to sign for you or something ?

[CSFShels]

Mark Hughes.

Nope not that I heard off anyways, why have you heard anything? WHy the negativity in that comment of yours? Fact that a Dundalk fan went to Utd Park to watch a game?:confused:

The lad who scored for Shels was sharp and Casso did well for them in midfield, that was about it.
