Source for this? Was mentioned on our forum, found it a bit nuts.
He was introduced to your players as a new signing after the Shamrock Rovers friendly. Source is one of your players.

not so nuts if a lot of teams have made their signings and maxed their budget and there are no other contract offers out there. As i said, its a clubs market, players arent getting paid.................
What??? Surely not!!!!!

Bohs!
re: the fingla players to Bohs rumours, all ive heard was Finn and O'Neill (who is now at Rovers).
The way I hear it is that Rovers are likely to sign either Williams or Finn - whoever they don't sign is likely to sign up for Bohs.
Can people at least wait until we sign someone before getting all flustered?!
I, for one, am not bothered about who Bohs sign - it's just that I can't believe how anyone can swallow the bull about €500 wage caps and €250k budget

Fans in this league are unbelievably stupid.
They believe anything that their club tells them. Even when its the same people who fed them lies and ran the club into the ground.

If thats the budget they submitted for their licence, isn't it also supposed to include the managers, and coaches salaries too?
Noody here knows what they reported for licensing, so probably best not to think too deeply about ti

What ever happened to Damien Lynch Dodge, has he retired?

as i said, going on the transfers thread they are your listed strikers. Either way 5 strikers is a nice option for you to have.

Any word on where Alan McNally (ex-UCD and Drogheda) has ended up?

I assume he's looking as opposed to just retired/stepping down to LSL?
We've had a couple of triallists playing centre-half for us the last couple of games (and signed one of them, Haro, from Drogheda) - would have liked to see Allie Mac back.
Apparently pete mahon gave him a call a while back but he was happy enough with defensive cover (so happy he loaned Guthrie out)

Is it 5 though? You've mentioned several times here that we've completed the signing of Gary O'Neill, but the only place I've read that is on the Bohs messageboard, everywhere else has us just kicking the tyres on him. I guess you've heard something, any idea when the O'Neill signing will be confirmed SkStu?
This is a rumours thread FFS. LOL.

I haven't heard that we are signing him, you've mentioned three times in this thread that we are, so was wondering why you were thinking that. T'riffic use of "supposed" though, presumably being scooped by a Bohs fan on the signing of Gary O'Neill means you're not a real fan?
as i said its a rumours thread. If youse arent signing O'Neill and youre a Rovers fan then why cant you just deny it straight out instead of looking for confirmation on, again, a rumours thread. LOL.

He can't deny it straight out cos he's not a Rovers official, presumably. Most fans don't know everything about their club. We don't all have access to your secret cabal of deepest-Canadian contacts.

Whereas some people here claim they know everything about other clubs.

thanks for butting in there Stu for no apparent reason and stating the bleedin obvious - yet again - but yeah, most fans seem to more about other peoples clubs on here.
I guess there aint no contacts like Belfield contacts. Ridiculous.

True. Though tis asking a bit much to ask someone to confirm a complete rumour, and suggesting they're not a proper fan if they can't.

To get back to my original question, it's apparently in today's Evening Herald that Gary O'Neill will sign for Rovers in the next couple of days.
so to get back to my original point. 5 Strikers. Is that necessary do you think Jicked?

Nope, I'd rather we didn't sign O'Neill, but at least it's within budget since it'll be on the "old" terms we offered him, or beneath that figure. I'd imagine we'll see either Sheppherd or Kelly operate more on the right wing than as a striker, we could do with more bodies their and apparently they can both play there (Kelly apparently made a lot of his Oldham appearances wide on the right)

Says in the herald we signed anto murphy again, is this a done deal because there's nothing on pats site about it.
Says in the herald we signed anto murphy again, is this a done deal because there's nothing on pats site about it.
theres quotes in the Daily Mirror article from Mahon. No link sorry so pasted here.
ANTO Murphy is back at St Pat's for a third spell after finalising his move to the Inchicore club last night.
Saints boss Pete Mahon is confident that Murphy's injury hell is behind him - but the versatile 28-year-old is not registered in time for tonight's Setanta Cup first round clash away to Cliftonville.
Murphy arrives from Bohemians where he won the double in 2008 and the league title in 2009. He also scored the winner in last season's Setanta Cup final - against St Pat's.
But the utility man endured a torrid season at Dalymount Park last year, with a troublesome Achilles injury restricting him to just four league starts.
Following his release from Bohs, he spent much of the winter with Shamrock Rovers and featured in a number of the champions pre-season games - but wasn't offered a deal.
That allowed Mahon, right, to step forward yesterday and bring Murphy back to Richmond Park for a third spell having also played for Monaghan, UCD and Sligo in between.
Mahon said: "Anto has had surgery and we've had the medical reports. I've also spoken to different people about his condition.
"He trained with us yesterday morning and looked okay to me - my eyes didn't deceive me.
"We didn't kill him though as he's played a few games with Shamrock Rovers but he looks to be in fine fettle and his versatility should be an asset for us."
And Mahon isn't finished his pre-season shopping spree just yet, with the Dubliner on the hunt for a new striker.
"There is room for one more signing only," added the Saints boss. "We'd like another forward but will have to move very quickly. We've spoken to a few players and are waiting to hear back.
"We'd have liked to of signed a few of the Sporting Fingal players but that came too late for us really as we'd spent most of our money."
Mahon is on a rebuilding mission at Richmond Park after nine players departed the club at the end of last season.
And with new arrivals like creative midfielders Shane McFaul and Stephen Bradley, Saints fans could be treated to something different on the field this season.
"We're trying to change the way we play a little bit," added Mahon. "We'll have more skilful players as the two boys are very technical."
Tonight, St Pat's travel to Solitude for the opening leg of their first round Setanta Cup clash with Cliftonville who sit second in the Irish Premiership.
Mahon is a big fan of the cross-border competition and, like everyone else, welcomes the decision to make it a knockout competition.
But having reached the final last season, only to lose out to that Murphy goal in Tallaght, he says nothing but the trophy will satisfy him this year.
"To make amends we'll have to win it as I was bitterly disappointed to lose that final. It would be great to go one better.
"I haven't been to Cliftonville before but they are going really well and are second in the league.
"It will be a stern challenge but we'll go there in a positive frame of mind with our own game plan and try win the match.
"We'll be positive and try stamp our authority on the game."
McFaul (virus) didn't train yesterday and is a doubt, while Murphy won't be registered until the second leg. Otherwise the Saints are at full strength.
Eddie Patterson's Cliftonville go into the tie on the back of a 3-2 home win over Dungannon at the weekend.

No but I do know exactly how much all of Bohs and Shels players are being paid, aswell as knowing about the iffy financial arrangements in Cork, some man management issues in Waterford, early season finacial problems in Harps, the Rovers chairmans personal life, Athlones crazy pre season and all the fallout, the real story behind Galway and Nasty Nick, the real reason Monaghan were denied entry to the Premier, just how it is Longford got a Premier Licence, the shocking but true story behind how Sligo pay their players, the friction between manager and board in Derry, Mick Wallaces plans for the future (or lack of) for Wexford, Brays major problems with the FAI, some iffy financial goings on at UCD, what really happened with Pete Mahon and Ryan Guy at Pats, the true state of affairs at Drogheda and Dundalks gigantic wage budget.
Salthill and Mervue are clean AFAIK.
As for my own club Limerick, if it helps, I think we play in blue.

Philly Gorman is going to sign for Shels later in the season, straight from the horses mouth
Anyone know what George O'Callaghan is up to this year?
Coincidentally enough rumour in the sunny south east is that the infamous G10 is set to sign for Wexford until july and then he's off to China.
You couldn't make it up. :D
