Ah well!
Not sure what the situation is with Kelly now that o'neill is confirmed as gone after spurs game.Quote:

Was just thinking the same, reminds me of Bohs fans when everyone, bar them it seemed, new their club was fooked. Hopefully Sligo wont go the same route. It is tempting to splash a bit of extra cash when you came so close to winning the league.Quote:

Huh? That's the opposite of what's being reported surely?Quote:

"Bit o’ Red chairman Michael Toolan recently confirmed that the club have made an increase to the budget planned for 2012, but overall it has reduced from this (2011, the season just gone) year’s figure."
Any questions?
It was the Sligo local paper quoting the chairman.
............
This forum is class. People drawing their own conclusions to suit their own 'suspicions', no matter how ridiculous or unfounded they maybe.
There is plenty of posters on this board who know what they are talking about. But hey, don't let that get in the way of a good story.
Generally take anything you read in that paper with a pinch of salt. Their sports coverage has gone massively downhill recently. Alot of the match reports in the tuesday editions are just a summary of what the journo read elsewhere. I think yesterdays paper claimed Tallaght want Stephen Kenny back:rolleyes:Quote:

Haha oh god, ladies and gents we have a winner.Quote:

Who needs actual facts when you have speculation and just unsubstantiated sh!te talk, god bless the internet.
All I said is that there are similarities in what is being said to people that ask questions on here, in what was asked of SFFC supporters and now Sligo supporters. I don't really give a sh¡t what happens to Sligo to be honest.Quote:

Hopefully the side will gel quickly. The loss of Ryan and maybe Davoren is a huge loss, but this team, with Danny North on board, might just surpass the quality and entertainment of the end of season 2010 team.
Re Quigley fitting in, Cookie has got great performances out of a maverick like Joey N'Do so hopefully he can emulate it.
Fair play to Paul Cook, we've kept it tight for the last five years, and now's the time to go broke -- all three titles.
The fans will support Cook and his team the whole way -- this is Cook's final hurrah in Ireland. Even if this team don't get the league we're likely to get the most exciting football in Ireland, I would pay for that alone.
The management and club are synthesising their ambition and finances, what more could you ask?
Nice little Freudian slip there ;)Quote:

At best it's more accurately a double-meaning, but figuratively it is what it is, putting your shoulder to the wheel.
Glad you had to read it all to find some parapraxis -- pm me if you need to know what that means:] Enjoy not giving a s##t whether Rovers succeed or fail in 2012, the feeling is mutual. Barring the tragedy of Keith Gillespie hobbling around Flandespair Park, Longford's footballing fare is in the doldrums. Happy Christmas.
Hibs have decided not to sign Iarfhlaith Davoren for now: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukp...1323884783456A
That decision has to have been made by the Scottish football commentators committee.Quote:

Someone has just posted on our section that we have signed Stephen Bradley.
Ooh.. get you. Think you need to PM me so I can explain the merits of not taking everything on a message board seriously.Quote:

Dave Bassett on the odds list for the Shamrock Rovers job last night (Bohs and Rovers markets no longer online now for some reason), well down the order, but still a strange one.
Kerr was favourite, although he doesn't seem to be gearing for a return to club management right now, but it'd be a big boost for the league's profile if he ended up in Tallaght, O'Neill ended up in charge of N.I. and Staunton ended up at Dundalk!
Dean kelly to Shels
i heard fagan to us, from a bohs ladQuote:
