Not everyone. At Harps we hate him because he's a dirtbag. Landed a cheap shot on a young lad when things were not going his way.
Probably the filthiest player in the history of the league.

Alan Reynolds wasnt liked when he played for us either. His disciplinary record in his season with us was shocking. I think he got sent off four times in the 01/02 season and his last game for us was in the promotion/relegation playoff in ballybofey against harps and surprise surprise he got sent off.
Stephen Kenny signed him for us. I had actually forgotten he was at Derry for a short while in Stephen Kennys first spell. Was this after he managed Waterford Utd? I wish him the best of luck as he was highly regarded in Tramore.
Probably the filthiest player in the history of the league.
Over what period? Tom McNulty who won two league titles with Dundalk was possibly the hardest player I saw in my time.

Have you not seen Dermot kealy play!!!
I had the privilege of playing with Tom (mc nulty)at the end of his career..stamping in an 18 year olds toes,two footing a youth team player and thumping a ref among his antics.DFC legend

Mc Nulty, Keely, Noel King,Trapper Tracey were no angels but Reynolds targetting of young players on the pitch was truly shocking.Filthy player.

He was at his worst when playing for Shels.
But everyone hated him because he was good.
Not everyone hated Paul Osam or Kevin Hunt and they were really, really good.
Reynolds was a good player, but he's hated because he was a complete and utter scumbag on the pitch

One of my favourite players for us ever, he was an absolute maniac in the middle of the pitch but nothing got through him.
Remember him getting very heavy stick from our fans when playing with/managing Waterford. Some really choicely-worded chants. But everyone hated him because he was good.
If by 'good' you mean utter scumbag then deffo. I have seen many hard/tough/dirty players in the LOI but Reynolds was an utter scumbag.A nasty evil player that brought nothing good to the game.
Worse than Hitler he was.

You wouldn't catch Hitler throwing out a sly elbow when he was jostling to get under a floated corner.
Very hard to compare in fairness, they were totally different. Reynolds played in the middle while Hitler was more of a right winger.

"Reynolds sent for early shower" would have had a very different meaning in this parallel universe!

Hitler - started right wing early on but ended up his career playing as last man in a dodgy defence.

With Sean O'Driscoll sacked by Nottingham Forest today, will that affect the moves for Stephen McLaughlin and Barry McNamee and the link up with the club?

Same thing happened at Fleetwood and Davy McDaid's move is in limbo now.
Has Stephen O'Flynn signed for Pats for 2013? There was a brief mention of him to Dundalk with the Kenny previous link.

No not yet.
It's a pity he has had so many injuries. His last season with us he played about 6 or 7 games and pretty much the majority of last season he seemed to be injured too. If he can get fit and stay fit he would be a good player for any squad.
I know its the Christmas period but the rumors have died down a lot of the last few weeks.
Will be interesting to see who shows up for the PFAI game against Malahide.

Pleased with that. Pascal has fairly obvious shortcomings, but has a big upside. Given a proper preseason to work on him, I reckon Baraclough could make him far more consistent and effective.

LOI Blog reporting that Stephen McLaughlin to complete his move to Nottingham Forest tomorrow for only €160,000.

Indeed. Also somewhat ironic that he appears likely to be resettled in the East.

That is the sterling amount, so just under €200k. Yep, not a wile lot really, is it? Harps to get €25k (approx) of that.
I assume there'll be loads of add-ons to the deal, but still.
I think that's pretty decent if there are add ons in there.

Kenny said in a local paper today that he is signing 6 more for us, he has midfield complete which would suggest Chris Shields is not getting a new deal.
Wants 3 defenders, 1 striker and 1 left winger. As per Orielweb we are linked with Longford's Tom Crawley.

Yeah Crawley is apparently off to yourselves or Derry. Good, skillful player, was probably our best player last season.

Got fed up of being ignored by Limerick im told. Would love if we could get in contact and change his mind.

Blinkhorn would be a a great signing for Dundalk, but he's currently with Hyde in conf prem, so unlikely to leave mid season? Mind you he'd be ideal for Mulvenna as an option if someone of his strenght did sign. Griffin's deal seems to have stalled to Derry, so maybe he will be re-signing?
PS nothing appears to be in rumour of Reynolds at the moment for assistant manager, Dodge..............going to have to find another reason now :)

Did Blinkhorn not have a serious dig at LOI when he left Sligo?
That's not a bad side from the PFAI list there. You would think McMillan wouldn't be short of a few offers?

I think it was a bit of crossed wires. He tweeted something like he'd never go back to his former club and Sligo fans jumped on this thinking he was referring to them.

What is McMillan doing there anyway? Was he released by Bohs or is he looking for a bigger club? I thought he was doing ok there?

He was over with Hibs but Fenlon decided not to sign him cause he said he needed someone ready to go straight away into the first team but McMillian needed to get up to speed.
He is precisely the kind of player we need though so would love if we signed him. According to the papers we are due to announce the manager tomorrow but that has been said already a few times over the last two months.

He's trying to get fit and get the best deal for himself. same as everyone else. McMillan has definite offeres from several clubs here. He's just checking out his options.
The likes of Rossiter etc won't have a problem getting a deal once they show they're fit

Is Rossiter still living about Dublin or is he back in Sligo now??
Would be a great player for us if there was any chance of getting him.

what do you mean got back in the game? he's been with Limerick for the past 2 seasons. Anyway, I always thought John Sullivan was a handy player, I know he did well for us when we had him. Also a pity Stephen O'Flynn is so injury prone otherwise he would be handy signing so I can only see a 1st division team if any trying to sign him up and whats the story with Tadhg Purcell????

Dublin (mainly). I think he'll return to Pats if he proves his fitness. Just a guess though

McMillan (along with all other players) out of contract with Bohs at end of last season. I believe he has finished his studies now and will be able to commit more time to football. He was over on trial at Hibs but fenlon was "not in a position" to offer him a contract. Also rumoured to be on the radar of Dundee Utd.
Had a tremendous season at Bohs last year, including finishing as club top scorer. Was also club player of the year. Absolutely no doubt that all at Dalymount would welcome him back in a heartbeat but expect he will (unfortunately for us) be offered better terms elsewhere
