[redarmyfaction]

^anything about it on tramptalk.

[nigel-harps1954]

Rumour is going there was a bust up, but haven't heard much about a move to Shels.

[BonnieShels]

^anything about it on tramptalk.
Only thing is a link to this page.

We can but dream.

[redarmyfaction]

Oh well at least it was believable lie, I just can't picture Quigs in a hiace.

[Charlie Darwin]

PNG - Persona Non Grata, I presume...
No, adam was right. Mark's been ordained and become a missionary.

[redarmyfaction]

No, adam was right. Mark's been ordained and become a missionary.
Three year contract so.

[BonnieShels]

No, adam was right. Mark's been ordained and become a missionary.

Janey, a new position up top for him too.

[Dillonman]

Any word on who UCD are keeping?

[bluewhitearmy]

Willie Tyrrell and David O'Neill are also new additions from Wayside Celtic but I'm not sure where they play. Any information folks?

[Longfordian]

Willie Tyrrell played for Kilkenny, Kildare and Bray apparently. A midfielder I think. Think O'Neill may be ex Bray too, judging from Google.

[BrayUnknowns]

Willie Tyrrell and David O'Neill are also new additions from Wayside Celtic but I'm not sure where they play. Any information folks?

Yep the 2 lads are ex-Bray players. Tyrrell was a defender when with us, don't think he really ever made the break through to our 1st team. O'Neill looked very decent when he was with us, we signed him from Arklow Town (i think) and he was playing in the 1st team and did well, got injured and never played for us again.

See you have signed Corrie Treacy too, he is from and still lives in Bray. Good defender, thought we might actually go in for him myself. Bit of a temper on him though and prone to making the odd very rash tackle.

[Martinho II]

It looks like Gary Cronin is no longer involved on the playin staff and Jamie Duffy must have departed..

[L.T.F.C.]

Shame about Cronin. From what I heard, he would have made a serious coach. No loss on Duffy.

3 of Pats u19s though :)

Farragher, Coombes and Collins on loan. Coombes is a terrific prospect IMO. Scored equaliser for Ireland v germany in under 19 euro qualifying in October

[richiemd]

Since Farragher/Coombes/Collins are on loan then are Jonathan Kielty/Lee Dixon on loan from Bray as well?

[Hulsey]

Since Farragher/Coombes/Collins are on loan then are Jonathan Kielty/Lee Dixon on loan from Bray as well?

As far as I'm aware Dixon has left Bray, Kielty definitely has

[Charlie Darwin]

Sligo's squad is holding up very well, I have to say. I'd expect Baraclough to bring in a couple of faces from the England too.

[dong]

To an extent but with Quigley gone and North out for another while we are threadbare up front.
He would need to unearth a gem.

[Charlie Darwin]

North's been out a good six months now, it'll be almost eight when the season starts. Are you sure he's not just enjoying life in the scratcher?

[Martinho II]

I thought Danny Ventre wasnt comin back??

Almost reminds me of an American football team roster,and yee still want more players? Holy fcuk

[adamd164]

Sligo's wage bill must be very high. Where does most of the funding for it come from? (I know there are regular enough funding drives looking for donations, would want to pull in a lot of funds to support a squad of that nature though?)

[Sam_Heggy]

Almost reminds me of an American football team roster,and yee still want more players? Holy fcuk

It's only 20 players to be fair, plus, Liam Martin is away with Ballinamallard in the IL on loan.

[redobit]

Either you cant count or know nothing about American football. Their roster has 53 players. :p

In fairness tho, 3 on the list are u19/scholorship players.

[oriel]

Sligo surely must be exceeding 20k weekly wages with that line up?

No doubting the quality, but it doesnt come cheap.

[Charlie Darwin]

I really doubt they're paying every player 1k a week.

[Dodge]

I'd say its not even close.

[nigel-harps1954]

It's only 20 players to be fair, plus, Liam Martin is away with Ballinamallard in the IL on loan.

No he isn't. Returned this week to Sligo.

[nigel-harps1954]

10k-12k. At most. I'd be surprised if anywhere near half the squad were on any more than 500 a week. There's 3 or 4 players on big money, but the majority of that squad are on less than 500 a week I'd imagine.

[adamd164]

Still a comparatively large amount. Sligo's wagebill is probably secondly only to Shamrock's?

[Charlie Darwin]

Probably, which is hardly surprising considering they're the second biggest club.

[nigel-harps1954]

You could almost let them away with it considering they're going to be attempting to retain their title, as well as pushing for Champions League football.

[sligoman]

Still a comparatively large amount. Sligo's wagebill is probably secondly only to Shamrock's?I'd say so yes, but why wouldn't it be? We're the Champions. Ireland's number one ;)

I thought Danny Ventre wasnt comin back??
Just holding out for more money/contract in England, the usual. Realistically he was always coming back, just official now.

[redobit]

Probably, which is hardly surprising considering they're the second biggest club.

Ah, the Shamrock self indulegnce is still alive and well I see (even after last season)
