I hear he's big and commands the centre of the pitch with ease.

Sligo Rovers have added Jimmy Flanagan to their growing list of transfer window signings.

The right-winger joins until the end of the season having previously played with Hayes and Yeading in England, though he failed to make a first team appearance.

Flanagan has had trials at a number of English clubs but has failed to settle and sees Rovers as an ideal club to rebuild his career.

The right winger could come into contention for the match with Shamrock Rovers in Tolka Park on Saturday.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Shamrock are a complete joke after moving the game to Tolka Park.

The Dublin have club have been up their own arse since they were allowed to play in Tallaght Stadium by South Dublin County Council but this week it has emerged that have no say in it really and the so called return of thousands of their fans is just bull**** and it will die off soon enough if trophies do not follow in the next couple of years.

Saturday's match is a big challenge for Sligo, without any regular central defenders, but they should be fired up. A loss by three goals would see them go bottom of the table. The Bit o' Red are still hoping to bring a large following to Dublin and extracting revenge after two poor showings against Shams this season so far.

Another late edition to the squad could be a huge disgusting mole seen on a tour bus that travelled through Croatia, Montenegro and Albania. These reports have been unconfirmed but one Sligo fan said last week:

"Mole, Mole, Mole, Moley Mole."

Can we ever go one f***ing week without someone getting injured?

Talk about frustrating.

Butler - Out for most of the season
Almeida - Didn't play a full game due to injury
Parkhouse - Hasn't got a run of games due to injury
Ryan - Out for half the season
Doherty - Was injured a fair bit too before being released
Peers - Has missed a good few games due to injury
Raf - Same as above
Morrison - Has also missed a few games due to injury iirc.
Ventre and O'Grady have missed loads of games due to suspension (I agree this isn't like the injuries but still....)
Boco also missed games due to international games


It's no surprise that we're at the wrong end of the table. Other sides have had injury problems too but we have had more than our fair share. With such a small squad it was always going to be tough if we got a few injuries. It's the risk we took, it paid of last year, we came fourth, it hasn't paid of this year. If we had these problems last year God only knows where we would have finished, but it certainly wouldn't have been in fourth place. Added to all this we are still in the league cup, fai cup, setanta cup and were in Europe.

The point I'm getting at is there is no point in criticizing the lads. They may not be world class footballers but, bar one or two (with one of them gone) they give 100%. There's still a long way to go, and with new players in the squad we can stay up and hopefully get to a cup final but we have to stick with the lads.

What about Boco and O'Grady in CM ? would be much more effective than Ryan and gives much better supply to our strikers.

I never think he does any good there, only good game i recall him in in centre midfield is Harps last year in Finn Park. I thought he was lost there at the weekend v Shams as Carrick red said not sure what game Dublin red was watching !

have to agree....if we are to get out off this we need Boco...simple as that...if we need to slash wages why not Butler as another thread has suggested or some of the dead wood at the club..not our best player.

Haven't been that impressed with him tbh. Alot of the games have passed him by in the middle of the park. Doesn't tackle enough, and has been out-muscled by other midfielders on occassions

Sean Kelly has been far better for us. That said, there's nothing to say Macca won't do a good job for ye.

Going by what you said, sounds like what Richie Ryan's been like this season. Have to give every player a chance though, could well prove to be a brilliant singing for us if true as we need centre midfielders badly.

I'm pretty sure a bag of footballs and some bibs would probably do it, such is our plight.

He has only missed two league games but I feel he has been a passenger for a lot of the games in our three man centre midfield formation. I don't know how he would fare with a 2 v 2 in the middle.
He hasn't scored a goal, got one assist (of sorts) when a pass deflected off a ref into Faherty's path against Drogheda and has never stood out as a Man of the Match contender. Not a fan of putting his foot into the tackle either.
That said, he plays a simple pass fairly well and seems fairly athletic. Can't see him dislodging O'Grady or Ryan to be honest.

Richie Ryan is out for the season so if he signs he will more than likely play every game.

We've now got the strength it depth that we needed this season. Its great to see Cook able to sign plenty of players and maybe alls he needed was time to get the team going again ? injuries played a big part in a miserable league season for us but now we cant really complain with all these players.
