**** one, Hoop.

But what's he really like?:D

hahaha you will find out soon enough.

to put it mildly, he is an overweight, talentless, clueless, slow, lazy hack. and im being nice. worst rovers regular i have seen in at least 10 years, and we have had some garbage.

is good in the air to be fair.

how did you end up stung with that pudding? :D one less mouth to feed at Rovers i suppose.

'Willo' McDonagh signed for the Glens today on 2 1/2 year deal.

Any good?

Can't really comment didn't see much of him, but was a part of the worst Rovers side in history. We were talking to him but he wanted something like €800 a week, definitely not worth that.

We're supposedly signing one or two polish players, Alan Matthews was over in Poland recently on a scouting mission and he has supposedly found a few gems

Why do you say that? The area they've most been weakened is central defence and they've signed two central defenders in Murphy and Doherty. They just need to replace Digger. Granted their last year's team wasn't great but they should be able to steer clear of danger.
I wish I was as confident as you :o

Could be a long season for us IMO.

Re-signed Alan Murphy which is great news andKevin Doherty which I'm unsure about.

Theres apparently at least another 2 signings on the way (one of them possibly Shay Kelly from Bohs) and Matthews was apparently over in Poland looking at players and picked up 1 or 2 over there.

We can just confirm down here that our former captain Davy Mulcahy has just signed for St.Pats, huge loss to us, and also that Fat Dolan is trying his best to destroy another club (The Blues) by telling players not to sign contracts and he's told them he will be taking over at Limerick.
The sooner the better this person is put down, the better for League of Ireland.:mad:
Speranza
15/01/2006, 6:05 PM
Off topic but...If this is true then it is becoming a pattern. Dolan achieves demi-God status while in charge of a club then becomes a hate figure when he leaves. I hate the man, he is a two-faced git who seems to have a love for every team in the country when he is simply looking to the future and possible employers.

Am I right in thinking he's a centre half ? I take it you rate him highly.

shane harte from kildare? did he not leave kildare ages ago? Just out of curiosity what position does he play? :confused:

He is a midfielder and from what I can see he was at Kildare last season!

Sean Connor is 95% certain that his number one target will sign. The player in question is still under contract with his current club so he wont name him but he did say that he was on the bench for his team(an English league 1 side) last Saturday. His contract is up at the end of this month so he's expected to join us then.

Connor also said that he'll be keeping an eye on how Keith Gilroy gets on with Burton(after all the hype with the Man U game ends) and said that he'd love him to play for him.

Rumours were that we were interested in former player Declan Boyle(released by Harps last week) but Sean dismissed them saying that he's a good player but he wants to keep to a young enough squad. Our oldest player is only 26:eek:.

Thats good and bad ! good if he can keep the squad together and develop them over a few years, bad because lack of experience. How many Rovers players have Premier experience ?

How many Rovers players have Premier experience ?Not many in the EL Premier Division but some have experience from other leagues, for example, Liam Burns has played for Bristol Rovers and Port Vale in England. In the actual Premier, O'Grady is probably our most experienced given that he played with Derry and Cork in the Premier. The likes of Cretaro and McTiernan don't have experience in the Premier, but I don't think playing there will affect them that much considering they have played against(and beaten some of) the big teams before, in cup games. A lot of our squad have being playing together for a number of seasons, despite being relatively young, so they know how to work with each other well:).

He's a left back we signed from Rushden & Diamonds the season before last. Think he actually comes from your neck of the woods. Former Irish under 20 international. Started off a bit dodgy but was actually beginning to improve last season before John Frost arrived and he lost his place in the team.

Sligo Rovers have signed 3 new players(one of which was previously announced but now it's official). Keith Foy(Monaghan), Gavin Peers(Mansfield) and Adam Hughes(Doncaster). See here (http://www.sligorovers.com/news/news_reports/2006/20060127_new_players.htm).

While Carlos Alvarez has gone on loan to Glenavon.

Gallagher won't be signing for Glenavon due to difficulties in the possibility in calling the player back, if he needed to be called back early. Something to do with bringing a player back outside of windows. This from a Harps Board member earlier this evening.

Do Cork or Drogs really have €100,000+ to spend on 1 player ?

No.

The same article the other day said Bray wanted 50k which would have been ridiculous value of course.
But another article today said Devlin didn't want to consider thinking about it.
:confused:
Am i right in saying this is his last season under contract at Bray?
Might want to cash in so.

Sense would send him to the home of the Eircom League Champions but sense of the financial kind might lure him to the other side of Dubland.
Might get near enough to €100,000 off Drogs if Doolin convinces them he's the final piece of the jigsaw.

Finn Harps Have just taken our useless defender Sean Cooney on loan for the the season. Cooney joined bohemians on a free transfer after being released by Coventry in july 05

Tadhg Purcell is a class act. He's definitly good enough for the premier. I wonder did we (kilkenny City) get any money for him??
He signed for us last year on a two year contract so we must have got something. Rovers made an initial bid of 1,800euro:mad: for him that was rejected and we apparently put a 10,000euro price on his head but then he refused to play for us and demanded a move to rovers:mad: so ye probobly got him for nothing:mad:

Update Jamie Duffy has also left us for Rovers aswell
Paul Donnely ex St Pats has signed for us
Robbie McGuiness ex Bray is currently on trial here
Husein Yassdani ex Shels has signed
Sean L'Estrange ex Shels has signed
Dont know any more - the other players are all probobly ex Leinster Senior Leaguers

Dave O'Mara (Meara?) if it's the same guy (an U21 of ours, who I wouldn't like to see go) is a very promising young lad...so feck off:p

James Chambers (Waterford United, loan) and David Tyrell (back to Bray, loan)
Slash/ED
22/02/2006, 10:12 PM
Very disappointed, though Kearneys signing was always going to push Tyrell out on loan he's a good player for the future, but for Chambers I thought he was good enough to make the break through this season. Eitherway both are good players for the future.

I haven't, but Google has. From what I can discern, he's a former captain and playmaker of Naftex (née Neftochimik) and a shade over thirty.
