Guthrie to Dundalk??
I'd kill for Aidan Price big awkward fella, would be the JOB in the First Division.* :)
*EDIT: Not actually for him, like I wouldn't kill someone if Aidan Price asked me too. I would kill someone if it was to secure his signature for Limerick though.

If the definition of a good ball player is someone who can pick out a pass when he has all the time and space in the world to do so, then Stephen Bradley is a good ball player. If he’s put under any pressure he’s sh1te.
Plenty of those in the league alright Shano. For some its question of attitude, and maybe the right manager can get them working.
For others, they're just lazy and/or pussies and there's no hope for them
Are you talking about Alan Cawley there by any chance?:DQuote:

Paul Keegan in talks with us and Derry as well apparently
He wasn't but his agent was. Some people still don't get that Rovers won't be paying them ridiculous money.Quote:

And will that be it then??
Very early to be finalising a squad!
Cork City FORAS CoOp spending BIG in an effort to replicate the previous clubs squad is the latest murmuring in Munster.
It's not a full squad he'll be announcing. Just the first few players that he has signed.Quote:

Let me explain.
If a player is OUT of contract, disucssions with him are not tapping up as he is a free agent.

Maybe but they'd want to buck up cos they've already missed out on Kevin Murray, Willie John Kiely and Liam Kearney!
Sean Connor announced one signing on GBFM this morning: Enda Curran from Mervue Utd
.......... or retired ?:cool:Quote:

Anything regarding Dundalk, is, in this as most other things, irrelevant.
Apologies if this was mentioned earlier but has Liam Kearney stayed with Waterford or moved somewhere else? With no disrespect to Waterford, but Kearney is kinda wasted in the 1st division.Quote:

Agree. Always impressed by his work rate and he is well able to play a bit of ball also.Quote:

In completely unrelated news Conor Kenna and Gary Rogers re-signed for Pats today
http://www.stpatsfc.com/news.php?id=4064
Gary Rogers and Conor Kenna officially signed up for next season, Great news
I'd be surprised if he wasn't playing for us next season.Quote:

Great signings. Both would have been in my team of the season. Pats are looking like they could be strong again next year and should be competing with Derry for third place.Quote:
