Some player on his day when he's not injured. Power will have some company at least.

Having recently returned to Shrewsbury Town after his loan back at Sligo, Max Mata has now been loaned out again. This time back home to New Zealand to play for newly founded club Auckland FC who will be playing their inaugural season in Australia's A-League
Is another injury prone player really what Sligo need? The likes of Power has barely kicked a ball as most people expected would happen..
Hopefully they can time their injuries so only one of them is out at a time
Dundalk have turned down a ‘bid’ from Motherwell for Archie Davies. Even calling it a bid is being kind, it was reportedly no upfront fee and all, instead just adding small performances based incentives for the club. Motherwell have previous for showing zero respect to this league, offering Pats €5k for Greg Bolger towards the end of his time at the club. Would’ve thought getting beaten home and away in Europe by a mid table Sligo side would’ve humbled them but seemingly not

Putting this here, since he's virtually a new signing at this stage, Colm Whelan played 37 minutes in the U20s against Harps today. Scored one, assisted with one.
Delighted for him that he's back at it. He's had a horrendous few years.
Brian Gartland has joined Pats as assistant manager, to add to the LOI coaching merry go round this year
Looking at the fixture list, Pats away to Dundalk on 23/08, BG lives 5 min walk from Oriel, and SK lives in Blackrock LH, a home game for the 2 boys !
BG is nice fella, did so much for Dundalk, best of luck to him. Funny all the same the two of them living local.
Tunmise Sobowale signed for Swindon Town,left Shrewsbury at the end of the season....
Stephen Healy loan with Kerry FC cut short and he has been sent back to Galway.
You'd wonder who the real manager is at Kerry though and this audio from Radio Kerry attached below only rises suspicion.
James Sugrue saying to the press that "I'm releasing Stephen" and that "I had a chat with John [Caulfield]". There isn't an assistant manager around that speaks like that.
James Sugrue seems to do 90% of the media and Conor McCarthy is only rolled out when they get a positive result. Sugrue is far more vocal in the Kerry dugout also.
Assuming this is a badges thing?

Yeah this kind of thing seems to be getting more common. When Long and Crolly were Bohs management team Crolly was frequently the one giving orders from the touchline. In the current iteration of Bohs management I've seen Detser and Reynolds give instructions and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I see Stephen O'Donnell give some as well.
It's probably worth listening to Johnny McDonnell on the last LOI central (I think it was the last one anyway) and he talks a bit about management teams and this sort of thing. He even mentions that he would give instructions from the bench when he worked under Brian Kerr once Kerr agreed with them because it would be a clearer instruction coming from the person who noticed what needed to change rather than starting a game of whispers with the players.
I think you're stretching it by applying it to First Division clubs, lads.
Just from my own experience of viewing them it would appear that Sugrue has the reins.
Stephen Henderson is the new Cobh Wanderers manager.
Just noticed Alan Reynolds on the touchline alongside Crawford with the Ireland u21s in Croatia in this clip. Was it not stated when he got the Bohs job that he was leaving the Ireland gig? If I was a Bohs fan I know I’d want my manager fully focused on managing my club and preparing the players for their game this week. Bit of an odd one, I can’t imagine many LOI managers would be too keen on another league clubs manager having a direct relationship with their players either (only rovers have players in the most recent squad but the last few years there’s been players from loads of clubs)
