No I mean that HE would assume that Waterford would be promoted. I'm taking nothing for granted although I do think we'll end up on top come October. Huge game tonight. Could be a point behind Cobh or five ahead of them.Quote:

The window to sign amateur players opens on June 1st, while professional players can be signed from the beginning of January.
Assume that should be July.Quote:

Typical half arsed FAI approach to a perfectly good idea.Quote:

Owen Garvan linked with Pats, Limerick & Bray after leaving Colchester.

His family are from Rush so he'll be looking to stick around Dublin anyway so most likely Pats if they can afford him, otherwise Bray.
We can't, won't be coming to Pats unfortunatelyQuote:

I see your new to the league then.Quote:

Oh the old adage of a clerical error. If I had a euro for everytime that excuse was used.

Always starts that way. Could well be the truth but we've heard this over and over again.Quote:

Very surprised at him thinking of coming back here. No, wont be going to Bohs. I would have thought Rovers as he knows Mc Phail and Duff.Quote:

I'd love to see him in the league, one of the last players I was really excited about as a prospect outside of the league, remember seeing him at the Cross in an u21 game and being very impressed.
Another midfielder is not what Rovers need right now.
A centre half and/or a prolific striker is what we need.
If we are genuinely linked to him I'd say McDonald will be trying hard to get him in. The money will certainly be there and he would be full time. If he is moving back to Dublin though I can't see him travelling down here.
Gerry played in the league for Drums and Shels. And his grandfather was Con Martin of Leeds, Villa, Waterford, Drums.Quote:

Yep Owen is good stock, not quite sure how his style of play would fit in this league.
Would fit it more than League One/Two where he's been playing, I'd say.
Every club everywhere needs a prolific striker!Quote:

Hearing a rumour that Niall McGinn could be signing for Derry.
Fully expect him to turn up at Finn Park now.Quote:

Those are the only ones I've heard anyway, bid rejected for sadlier apparently. I'd take hoban if he's anything like he was at dundalk, but would he come to us?
According to the new limerick fc manager we are in talks to sign 4 players and he is hoping he can push through another two using his connections in the UK
At first I thought it was Nial McGinn I spotted in Buncrana on friday, but then realised it was Gareth McGlynn, always used to mix up them two.
Ronan Murray is one of the better players in the league so no surprise Cork are interested. Hopefully he will stay.
I think / hope Sadlier knows he will get picked up by a club in the UK for January so will stay till his contract runs out at the end of the season
Interesting re Hoban, he can't have that many options in UK after Mansfield, still quite young though, options would seem to be in Ireland, no idea where, but he has been at the last 3 home Dlk games.Quote:

Hard to know what Hoban is like now. If you were guaranteed the player from 2014 then I'd take him in a heartbeat as he was excellent for us as the striker up top. He seems to have struggled the last couple of years in England but he could offer us something that we haven't had since he himself left and that's a striker who holds the ball up and brings the midfield into the attack.
Of course he would. He is definitely a realistic target for Cork City.Quote:

Looks like Kevin O'Connor is following Maguire to Preston. Couple that with the potential of Delaney returning to Burton... could really disrupt our season
It's Cork's title to lose.
is kevin o connor part of the maguire deal by any chance , heard it recently but it could all be hear say !! both sean McLoughlin and sean o mahony are in training with city at the moment and offer an outlet at the back for JC. but would he gamble on a player who has no previous LOI experience being the main question to ask thereQuote:

He wasnt settled at Dundalk either, it wasnt all lack of game time that he wanted a move and a move closer to home. He had a chance to stay at Accrington permantly but chose to move back to LoI. O'Connor in his own right can carve out a career in the UK but it wouldnt be uncommon that a player gets signed just to help another player especially if not native English speakers - does Waterford/Cork count as non English speaking :pQuote:
