so............its not RTE

Still not any good imo.

Give the lads a break, they've got a lot of balls getting interviews with players and starting up a website at that age and they're doing a decent job IMO. If you're after some sort of glitzy professional set-up... then the LOI might not be right for you

True, although they don't make friends copy-pasting content off extratime etc without crediting them.

And you are welcome to your opinion as i am mine and i dont think its any good. Ive seen the website and almost every single story is copy and pasted from Extratime.ie.

Extratime is perfectly glitzy and professional enough for me though.

[gufcfan]

I made a Galway United website in the 90's and in hindsight, thank ****ing God I didn't have a connection at home that would have allowed me to put in on-line anywhere!

Back in the day when people registered usernames that consisted of their first and last name... haha

[David BOHie]

Stephen Maher (last with Dundalk) is training with us. Dundalk fans opinions on him please?

He's a cúnt. He celebrated a Dundalk equaliser in Dundalk when we, Bohs, were playing them. He ran right up to our fans. He was on the bench too so he was only a foot or two away from some fans. His sister's a ride, a model I think, and it's safe to say there was dogs abuse given when we got our second and third :)

[Martinho II]

speaking of Ian Foster what on earth is his new role at Sligo Rovers with Gerry Carr staying? Will this not cause conflict behind the scenes?

Nothing finalised as yet Martin. Word is that he will come in as both a coach and a physio. Seeing as Carr is staying (thank fcuk) Id say he will be keeping his assistant manager post. People saying its overkill behind the scenes but we will have to see, Carr has said in the past that there was a need for an extra coach. Its inkeeping with the level of bckroom staff for teams at the top of the league too.

[nigel-harps1954]

According to the player himself Adam Clarke has signed for Harps from Limavady.

Cook has been offered a job in england and will take over in the summer. Foster will be his replacement, was brought in so he will know the players and players will know him so the transition will be smooth.

would it look better if the lads did a powerpoint presentation on the interview???

[Graemerz]

Looks like Derry jumped the gun....

Interesting....

The only 'official' statement regarding his transfer has come from Linfield. Derry City haven't made any statement at all.

Any idea what Joey's plans are for the summer holidays, or what our secretary is having for lunch tomorrow?

Turkey for both.

It is, but run by fans. Article on the site isn't directly from the club itself.

Decky Devine said today that he is "confident of a deal going through".

Glens have already been offered Patterson, as per the terms of his sale to Plymouth. http://www.glentoran.com/index.php/21-latest-news/256-rory-patterson

[Dillonman]

Ex Pats midfielder Gareth Coughlan has tweeted that he is joining us tomorrow as per our forum!

[outspoken]

Always liked Gaz he was a cracking player before he got that horrific injury would be great to see him back in full swing.

I understand. Pretty daft to allow fans to post that article on the official site then without the deal being confirmed... :confused:

Haha good man, this shall be remembered along with the "financial investagions" your lot were harping about last year.

[redobit]

Obviously he hasnt a clue what is going to happen Rasputin and its more talking outhishoop than askmehoop. But infairness his 'logic' might actually hold some water - if Cook was to go mid season and Carr and Foster were in place what other alternative would there be!

Soccer · England Sligo boss Cook linked with Accrington Stanley
Tuesday, 24 January 2012 12:11
Sligo Rovers manager Paul Cook has been linked with a move to English League Two club Accrington Stanley.

There is a vacancy at the Liverpool club after John Coleman left to join Rochdale yesterday. A caretaker regime will be put in place for Saturday's clash with Gillingham but Accington Stanley are keen to fill the position soon, according to the Lancashire Telegraph.

Former Reds player Cook, who is from Liverpool, is in the frame to replace him.

The 44-year-old has been the Sligo manager since 2007.

He has overseen a particularly successful during the last two years, capturing back-to-back FAI Cups and finishing second behind Shamrock Rovers in the Airtricity League Premier Division.

Cook recently turned down a move to Derry City after Stephen Kenny left to take over from Michael O'Neill at Shamrock Rovers. He has one year left on his current deal.

A bit on Cook being linked to Accrington Stanley: http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/9488671.Cook_in_Accrington_Stanley_frame_after_Col eman_s_exit/

Love this bit!: "has made no secret of his desire to return to England – turning down jobs at St Johnstone and Derry. "

[redobit]

Of course its a matter of when, noting insighful there. He has stayed longer than he ever thought he would and I fully expect this to be his last season.

As for the whoring bit, well good managers are going to be in demand so being connected with other clubs aint anything new there. Now if he was actively contacting other clubs for jobs that would be a different matter.

Interest from Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk too.

What are Sligo fans thoughts on the apparent grooming of Foster to take over? If I were you I would be very, very unhappy with it.

Carr will be the Assistant manager afaik and would deserve a chance at the job well ahead of Foster (which has been confirmed btw) and all Rovers fans would agree.

ipswich fans sad to see him going as he has impressed whenever he played. Cork would be his preferred destination id imagine

Accrington Stanley? Who are they?

[MagicMon]

Bobby Ryan is on trial for Monaghan v Newry tonight

Exactly!!

[brendy_éire]

We're talking to Leon Knight, according to the Derry Journal.

Oh cripes that eejit. Any club with half a clue would stay well clear.

[CrowdedHouse]

Darren Coleman

Killavilla United to Athlone Town

[brendy_éire]

Still a great player, IMO. Probably the only real threat Galway had against us last season.

Does he not live in Limerick though? Bit of trek to Monaghan and back.

seems to think he's a bit of a big time charlie, Derry would do well to keep away

Bobby Ryan is remarkably similar to those odd meats you buy in LIDL. They both expired three years ago.

Na lives in Dublin well somewhere near Dublin anyway.

[monutdfc]

Hasn't been any good since he left Bohs imo

[Dillonman]

Bobby Ryan played the second half for Mons tonight.
