For your list pineapple stu...

Bohs have released
James Keddy
Ken Oman
Shay Kelly
Terry Palmer

You will wait until doomsday for the Bohs official website to confirm signings, we are still waiting on confirmation of the signing of Dominic Foley FACT.
But you can add to the list

Barry Ferguson
Jason McGuinness

They have 100% certainly signed for Bohemians.

Declan O'Brien has been told to me by a source I trust so I am taking it as read that he has signed for us or is in final negotiations.

What?? Why do you want him back?

He's a good player but after all the messines surrounding him would you really want him back?

Can any Pats fans confirm the Rutherford to Pats rumour?

Dungdalk Website had Griffen signed before he put pen to paper....they are full of s**t. Griff and Hughes will go to Dungdalk more than likely but whats with saying that they have signed when they havent???

[eirebhoy]

Can any Pats fans confirm the Rutherford to Pats rumour?

Having completed the signing of winger Mark Rutherford yesterday, St Patrick’s Athletic have slipped down the pecking order in the hunt for Drogheda United’s Cup-wining skipper Declan O’Brien.
...
Meanwhile, Rutherford’s arrival at Richmond Park means he will have played for all four of Dublin’s top clubs.

“I have signed Mark for a year with the option of a second year,” confirmed St Pat’s boss John McDonnell.

Birmingham born Rutherford, 33, has won titles with Shelbourne and Bohemians and is one of six players to leave relegated Shamrock Rovers this week.
http://www.stpatsfc.com/media.php?id=552

[superfrank]

Wasn't he at Pats before?

[eirebhoy]

Wasn't he at Pats before?
Shels to England to Newry to Bohs to Rovers.

[Block G Raptor]

No where still waiting for confirmation of the signing FIRST time around
the point was used to show how infrequently our website is updated

[pineapple stu]

Pat's have also signed Anto Murphy from UCD, apparently.

[monutdfc]

Pat's have also signed Anto Murphy from UCD, apparently.
He was at St Pats before he joined us. I'm fairly sure it was him I saw sitting among the St Pats fans at Dalymount recently

[pineapple stu]

Shels sign Greg O'Halloran from Cork.

[Passive]

Sparky is a great signing for Pats. Had a fantastic year with us, even if he is stronger defensively than going forward at this stage. He got my POTY vote and I think he ran young Murphy very close for the award.

[Maynard]

Dublin City FC would like to announce the signing of FAI Cup Winner Mark Rooney from Drogheda United.


The 22 year old has been a full time professional with Drogheda for the last two seasons, where he joined from a season long spell at UCD.


Mark also gained international experience for the eircom League Under-21 selection in Wales in 2003


Dublin City would like to thank Paul Doolin and all at Drogheda United for their co-operation in this signing.

[pineapple stu]

Wonder does this mean the Indo article re the players Drogheda were looking to release is correct? Sandvliet, David Sullivan and one other.

What about the post on your website, Maynard? Is that list of released players likely to be confirmed and correct?

[Maynard]

They're not confirmed yet, but I imagine if Vaughan, Scully, Lynch (:mad: ), Williamson, A Kelly, B Kelly, Kennedy and Mulcahy aren't resigned by Monday then that's them gone. I heard that Brendan Kennedy is going back to Kildare (was offered a deal by us though apparently) other than that the only two that warrant any further speculation are Aidan Lynch (I think it's maddness if we don't keep him) and Ray Scully (who is being romanced by the vultures at Monaghan.

Agreed, it's up to our own clubs here to make sure they don't find the bargains here they would like to think they will.

I couldnt agree more. EL clubs have to sort their contracts out:mad:

[SeanDrog]

DROGHEDA UNITED manager Paul Doolin began building towards continued success next season by resigning Declan 'Fabio' O'Brien and cup hero Gavin Whelan and also drafting Glen Fitzpatrick into his squad.

Fitzpatrick had endured a frustrating year at Shelbourne and will look to rebuild his career with a move away from Tolka Park.

Doolin will now attempt to sort out terms with Stephen Bradley who is also out of contract. The midfielder was linked with a move to Fulham last week, but his current manager insisted no contact had been made.

That's gonna come back to haunt us. It was sad to see him go.:( :( Great player!!

Yeah, Dean Murray and Steve Bradle would be a big loss. :D

Keddy gone to drogs apparently - good squad player imo

Drogheda United agree new two-year deals with O'Brien and Whelan
12/12/2005 - 17:59:13

FAI Cup winners Drogheda United have sign new two-year deal with skipper Declan O'Brien and Gavin Whelan, both of whom scored in the final at Lansdowne Road.

Paul Doolin has also signed Glenn Fitzpatrick from Shelbourne and James Keddy has agreed terms to move from Bohs following the release of the Dutch winger Jermaine Sandvliet .

All those stars will be watching the draw for the Setanta Cup when it's made later tonight.

The FAI Cup holders join Champions Cork City and League Cup winners Derry and Shelbourne, while the northern quartet are League Champions Glentoran, CIS Cup winners Linfield, IFA Cup winners Portadown and Dungannon Swifts.

[Slash/ED]

A step down from Sandvliet imo, why with all of Drogheda money does Doolin insist on signing such average players? Lynch was the same.

[Cosmo]

A step down from Sandvliet imo, why with all of Drogheda money does Doolin insist on signing such average players? Lynch was the same.

Lynch was one of our best players this season - very solid and turned out to be a great signing.

Jermaine is better than keddy on the left side of midfield imo but keddy (despite the criticism bohs fans give him) is a better squad player ie can play in more positions than jermaine. Jermiane can play left mid and thats it. I've always thought keddy played well when I've seen him (mostly as a neutral btw)

A toss up between him and jermaine on the left side of midfield, jermiane would win every time. Thought he did more than enough to earn another contract tbh.

[Slash/ED]

So did I, I'm baffled as to why he wasn't kept on. But my point is, Drogheda have money and ultimately title winning aspirations, no? I don't think players like Keddy are what a club with ambition should be looking at.

[Cosmo]

Had my doubts when I first heard it (as i did with lynch and look how he turned out for us!!). A bit of experience will do us the world of good as we've a young squad and as I said ye know what ye get from him and might've only been bought as a utility player.

Would be disappointed if he bought as a straight swap for jermaine - dont think he was tbh

[Dazzy]

Drogs needed someone bad to avoid the disappointment of not getting Brennan from Derry:p

[Block G Raptor]

Everyone went on about Hawkins,Crowe and Ryan leaving last year
but IMO Webb and particularly Lynch were as big if not bigger a loss
Damo had a cracking season for us the one before last and was super for Droggs this year, Webb is consistantly solid

I rate Webb, but Lynch was an absolute disaster area for Bohs every time I saw him anyway. Worst example being the time he literally just decided to hand Shels a penalty for no reason in Dalymount Park under no pressure at all (Then had the cheek to just claim a goal that wasn't even close to his later on to try and make up for it :D ).

I thought he was better when in central mid field but at right back he was consistently awful.

[pete]

Anytime i saw Lynch at Bohs he looked good going forward but a terrible defender. Doolin is wasting good money on fullbacks as its the easiest position on the pitch & they rarely win you games.

Keddy is poor signing for team that spent huge money last season for 4th place.

Drogs might be dangerous next season with their transfer funds but not as long as Doolin making the purchases.

:eek:

[Tenderloins]

Shamrock Rovers Have Signed
Dave Cassidy,Aiden Price from Kilkenny
