Alan himself said at the GUFC -v- CCFC friendly that "he signed for sligo last night". That was last wednesday night.

Has Seamus Sharkey actually signed ? would've expected to have seen him play some part in the pre-season friendlies.

Seamus Sharkey has not signed and won't be signing, never was. Again it was more rubbish.

Does anyone know if the Chairman has to have served time on the Committee before taking the role?? I know another man that I think would be excellent at the job but AFAIK has not served on the Committee, he has, however, done A LOT OF FUNDRAISING and behind the scenes work at the club.

You (or should I say your man in mind) can put thier name forward but from memory it needs to be nominated and seconded by others at the AGM.

In fairness I think anyone should serve their time before expecting to get the highest profile role to get a true feel for how it all operates.

Like most things in life it is great having ideas and plans.....then in the real world you have to work within certain parameters......Rovers and LOI is no different.

mite not be a bad signing the way things are at the mo..bulk up the squad..he has a good eye for goal.

rovers100%

14/05/2009, 1:25 PM

dont see the point in bringing him in. we dont need another small striker we already have raf, boco, and mctiernan and in fairness he didnt do a whole pile in premier league last year. i think he is better suited to the first division. rather bring in a def/ mid

CarrickFan

14/05/2009, 2:58 PM

of course i'd rather bring in a couple of midfielders and defenders!!..but its not going to happen..fair enough he's small but bringing him in could let Raf or Boco drop into midfield..always been a Mc T fan from years ago but it's been a long time since he was up to standard..if the manager thought Mc T could do a job he'd start him but never does..just there to make up squad numbers at this stage.

If you dropped them, who would you play instead though? He hasn't got much of an option in fairness. I still have a lot of time for Morrison although I'm sure there are plenty who would disagree. A good centre half may be what's required to stop us shipping goals. Especially as the whole Almeida issue seems to be never ending...

Rovers1

15/05/2009, 12:50 PM

Totally agree, would love to see McT start up front with Boco and Raf and Morrison on the wings, Cook just seems to have no time for McTiernan:o

sligoman

15/05/2009, 1:19 PM

Cook just seems to have no time for McTiernan:oProbably because he rarely trains and isn't fit enough to play a full game.

Probably because he rarely trains

From what i've heard we rarely train;):rolleyes:

Can't be easy being at a club for 5+ years and watching players come in and start ahead of you.

Can't be easy being at a club for 5+ years and watching players come in and start ahead of you.I'm sure you'd understand when those players are full-time and you are only there to help out when numbers are low.

Rovers1

15/05/2009, 1:36 PM

Rovers have a small squad as it is, with only Parkhouse as another natural centre forward, i can't see any reason, why, in the coming weeks, McTiernan should not feature.

brianw82

15/05/2009, 6:57 PM

What is the big deal about McTiernan? If he was good enough, surely he'd be starting? Since he came back to the club last year, he's had how many substitute appearances without scoring? He runs around a lot, but you need more than that.

From what I've seen of him, he's blatantly not good enough, and is only there coz he's a local player with PL experience.

Rovers seemed to have made enquiries about two Ballymena United players recently according to here:

http://www.ballymenatimes.com/sport/Walker-looks-to-experience-of.5299745.jp

"Roy reports no further movement on any of the club's transfer-listed players despite Dungannon Swifts being given permission to talk to striker Michael Ward, while Sligo Rovers have not yet followed up an initial enquiry about southern-based duo Davitt Walsh and Gavin McDonnell."

McDonnell is a defender: http://www.ballymenaunitedfc.com/squad/players/mcdonnell-gavin/index.htm

Walsh a striker: http://www.ballymenaunitedfc.com/squad/players/walsh-davitt/index.htm He was with Harps, then Bohs, Shels on loan & then Ballymena: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davitt_Walsh

I'd say Cristiano and Co. are delighted. He's young, plenty of talent and captain of the Supporters Trust side. Only worry is the young child he has, will he be able to handle all the pressure, being a single parent and all?

There was word of Conor Gethins joining us on loan a while ago, was there any truth in this or was it nothing but a rumour ?

I, like alot of ye, dont rate him well as a premier division striker but at the minute we NEED strikers, dosent matter who we get we need players who are natural forwards, do we not have any decent strikers in the 'A' Team that we could give a chance too even ?
