We've a ripe recent history of signing players and the coaching staff not have anything to do with it - which is most definitely the case with the Ward signing, honest! Like there wasnt a damage limitation scramble at St Pats lol.Quote:

He would be a perfect replacement for Duffy at Dundalk.
And yet there you were implying that the only deal done between Pats and aforementioned NotManager was over a nice cup of tea and a cosy chat. You’re right about it being speculation though. I know no more than you, which includes the fact that we have our manager situation sorted while you’re still waiting !Quote:

Dayle was our longest serving player disappointed he left us due to his work commitments not suiting Duff's training schedule. He is workrate is excellent, good attitude, as a left sided winger maybe not the paciest but he has decent skill and strength, I feel he could have developed further under different managers with fluid football than Morris' regimented system for the past 3 seasons
There’s Talent there if Doherty/Doyle can bring it out another good signing for Drogs
Thanks Hoofball and DCSIL , great to get the feedback on him , sounds like one to watch :)Quote:

Speaking of Shane Griffin is there two SGs in the top flight the one at St Pats and the one at Waterford? Just curious as was compiling end of season stats for us at the weekend!
Yeah there was Martinho…a center mid and a left back…Quote:

I said it earlier I know but Fitzgerald is an excellent signingQuote:

Actually, they've both announced the singing (sic) of Kurtis Byrne.
Even their typos are synchronised; isn't that sweet :)
Good luck to Will... he'll do a decent job for the BORQuote:

Of course you do! Yup still waiting, hence if the Ward signing happens it wont at all be the work of a manager/head coach. We are in a dire situation and falling way behind other clubs on the player recruitment front so there is absolutely no need to offer new contracts to prevent Dundalk trying to sign anyone!!!Quote:

We are also about to announce the signings of Daniel Kelly and Brandon Kavanagh.
We aren’t done there with Dundalk either.
It sure does , decent player and one I would have expected to stick around oriel next term. They need to appoint a manager quick. Oh wait !Quote:

He was/is considered good enough to be fair and was sent out to get more game time as opposed to playing a bit part like some of the kids with a view to coming back.
Id be happy to see him back but midfield is crowded at Rovers
Update: i see he has been announced.
Good luck to him, lovely stylish player
Good luck to Brandon. A super player who I would love to see back at his peak
Kurtis Byrne gone to Bray.Im not sure what kind of form he had last season.
Ruairi Keating signed for Cork,no idea if that’s a good signing or not……

Ian Bermingham confirmed for 13th season with Pats. Not that it was ever in doubt that the skipper would stay. That’s Lennon, Forrester, Bermingham, Burns, McCormack and Abankwah tied down so far from the first team regulars - with more to come.
The unnamed member of Dundalk's coaching staff is in tears at this news.
Great news!Quote:
