Gavin set for Darlington switch
Shamrock Rovers’ former Republic of Ireland under-21 international defender Jason Gavin is expected to complete a move to Coca-Cola League Two side Darlington in the summer, according to a morning newspaper report.
Ex-Middlesbrough man Gavin was snapped up by Hoops boss Roddy Collins after his spell at Bradford City came to an end.

roddy's team falling apart already
mccourt,gavin................who's next :D
Shoddys transfer dealings coming to the fore again. Signs a load of (mainly completley inept) players on contracts until june so they'll now all disappear back to England again. McCourt is the only loss though, the rest have been poor.
Wasn't his plan to do that, and have enough points to survive on then? :p
Gavin hasn't impressed based on Bohs & City games. He looks a bit off the pace & not someone who played in 1st & 2nd tier of english football recently.
He was no great shakes against Bray either. no massive loss to RoversQuote:

He's a clown, all of these signings were completley idotic and bar McCourt they're all average to down right rubbish players anyway. After the window opens Rovers will be in some position thanks to this eejit.
At the same time knowing his wheeling and dealing he'll bring in another group of players on a contract till November, some or most of whom will prove to be non-entities. When you consider probable Gavin's hasty departure and his performances, was it worth letting a loyal servant like Terry Palmer go?Quote:

Will Roddy have the money to wheel and deal now though?
Gavin was never going to stick around, he just came back to Ireland to get his fitness levels back up in anticipation of a move back to England.
I hear that Roddys been in touch with Carlton Palmer and Efan Ekoku for a return to the Eircom League after their fantastic performances last season! :D
i deny this rumour
I agree to a certain extent about signing players on short term contracts, if they are crap then its easier to get rid of them or do things like Dundalk and Bohs and sign mediocre/average players on 2/3 contracts, pay top wack wages and watch the lazy ****s do nothing for the next few years :mad:
