Who knows, that may well turn out to happen but he did sign a contract until the end of 2025 in May. Working away from his family isn’t a new thing to him either, he’s worked in Finland in 2020 and 2021 until coming to Pats for the last 2 seasons so he’s not had a prolonged spell at home in Scotland in a good few years nowQuote:

What does his work involve for the GAA and what kind of salary is he getting?Quote:

No new signings yet to suggest an improvement in cutting out sloppy defensive errors. The biggest challenge for the coaching team.Quote:

Impressive lack of awareness from him in his PR quotes, referring to "Longford football club" and how impressive it is that they're "100 years in the league". You'd think the club would amend that before putting it on our own website.Quote:

I don't feel all that strongly about it but it's a simple little edit to make before publishing and I'm sure the player would be happy not to look stupid.Quote:

Ngl, never even twigged it myself, just the wrong turn of phrase. Thought it was nice to see a player mentioning the Centenary year. I will highlight it, albeit bit late now. And don't worry I'm sure the club won't ban you for having a different opinion on something, that's not how it works despite the false narrative continuously being spread by one poster on here.Quote:

John O'Sullivan joined Shels aswell….
Confirmation from Bohs that Coote, O'Sullivan, Nowak, Twardek and Williams have left the club along with Radkowski's loan expiring. Big rebuilding job required with the defence now considering the two Polish lads played nearly every game.
Not sure if this gives Devine more excuses next season or fewer. He now has none of what some would consider "the dead weight" left from Longs reign but there will have to be a significant number of signings made to replace them. I don't think there are enough defenders at the club at the moment to field a starting 11 so would want to look at that as a point of priority and a striker or we could end up in the situation Sligo found themselves in last season i.e. selling their best players mid season and hoping next season is better.Quote:

Should have been run from Dundalk the day he lamped Diallo from behind in the Brandywell. Cowardly.Quote:

That was the talk but seems to have quietened down of late. There was talk in the Indo last week that he may have options in League 1 & 2 so I'm guessing he's holding out until January to see what he can get.Quote:

Wouldn't be surprised if we were in for Horton again. He doesn't seem to be getting game time for Cheltenham and I believe his contract with them is up at the end of the season. But generally agree the defence has been poor the last few years and some of that is down to poor recruitment. Fingers crossed that there is a plan in place because I think there are 3 defenders signed for next year (Kirk, Bart and Cian Byrne) maybe 1 or 2 of the 19s are ready to play some minutes but we cannot be dependent on them to start every week.Quote:

Saying that though a few days can change everything in this league. They could announce both Keeley and Cornwall next week and while not groundbreaking or anything you've suddenly got an extremely solid platform to build from at this level.
McCourt was a panic buy after they wouldn't pay a fee for Mark Connolly or his increased wages when his loan ended, then he then moved to Derry, but he was poor, very poor, think one good game, home to Rovers, can't recall too many others.Quote:

Not going to lie, I had no idea he was from down that way. I always thought he was from Dublin. I don't remember him playing for Limerick at all.
