You still trying to pass off you not knowing what you're talking about as a 'minor' fact? :D I've explained why it wasn't 'minor' in the Bohs SCP thread, which is obviously the one Wexfordned mistakenly thought he was posting in.Quote:

Mooney can do better than Darlington if he's leaving Reading. Charlton want to keep him until the end of the season depending on how bad an injury he picked up is. Anyway, it sounds like they're coming from the LOI not from another English club.
I'd imagine Mooney would prefer to stay at Charlton.Quote:

Any wordf on whats happening with Ross Gaynor, he was on lona to Drogheda second half of last season, is he a free agent now or still under contract?Quote:

He can do it if he has the right manager over him...he did after all score a bucket load of goals after joining Cobh mid-way through the season before last!Quote:

We've signed Deery up, according to Radio Foyle.
Barry Molloy is at Bristol Rovers on trial, also according to Radio Foyle.
According to John Gregg, Institute manager, we're going to sign Stephen Parkhouse, Shaun Holmes and either David Ogilby or Mark Scotlock. This is in today's Derry News.
On a side note, he also states that the IL should look at Summer football. Stute have had two home games in the past week cancelled and Gregg says they can't afford to run the club without the matches.
Shock as club in financial trouble looks to deflect their problems away.
Parkhouse and Holmes played LoI before, didn't they? Are they past it now or are they good signings? Interesting to see what sort of team Derry get together this year.
Both were with Sligo Rovers last season.Quote:

Parkhouse was injured alot so its hard to wheter he's good enough or not, but he was a key factor in Finn Harps' promotion a couple of seasons ago.
FAO dublinred - any name(s) mentioned as to who it might be ?
Granted, but to be fair, they are doing something to sort it out by offloading a wreck of players, he has a point about the amount of matches cancelled because of winter weather. The IL will struggle to get caught up on all their matches before the split at the end of March.Quote:

I like Holmes and think he'll do well enough for us.
Would hope we sign Scotlock as well. From what I've seen of him he, he seems a solid enough centre half.

Hes from ardee allright and Drogheda united are his local club ;)

Holmes is quality on the ball but if the right winger has any pace then Homer is in big trouble. He is like trying to get a bus turned. He has also put on at least 2 stone weight since joining 'Stute. I'm not pushed if ye sign him or not.
As for Scoltock, please, Stephen Kenny if you are reading this, please sign him, he is the exact kind of player I would love to see at Derry :D
Ogilby is just another monster of a fella, just like that freak of nature Derry had last season. In fact Ogilby is probably a worse ball player. I hope the muckers sign him too. :p
If i'm not mistaken I think we were once linked with Scotlock.
4 Signings
How does anyone rate these players?Quote:
PETE MAHON SIGNS FOUR PLAYERS
St Patrick’s Athletic have today added four additions to the 2010 squad. They join recent signings: Gary Rogers, Derek Pender, Damian Lynch, Stuart Byrne and David McAllister.
ANDREW HARAN: Andy is a product of the Saints schoolboy system and first joined the club as a fifteen year old. The Julianstown man signed his first professional contract for St Pat's in 2009.
GARETH COUGHLAN - The 19 year old midfielder, like recent signing Derek Pender, has signed from Bray Wanderers. Promising young player who broke into the Bray team in 2008 and made 3 appearances against the Saints in 2009.
CONOR SINNOT: He finished the 2007 season as Wexford Youths top scorer with eight goals. Named in the PFAI First Division team of the year in 2007 and 2008. Was also one of three players nominated for the 2008 PFAI First Division player of the year.
BRIAN CASH: 25-year-old winger signed from Sligo Rovers. Enjoyed three seasons with the Bit O' Red making over 70 appearances and scoring 3 goals.
Ye have a very young squad this season!Quote:

Gareth Coughlan, great midfielder. Won the first division and won player of the year with Kildare.Quote:

Does anyone know what kind of player willo mc donagh is as we are constantly being linked with him. I'm following City in the Loi for the past 16 seasons and I've never heard of him.
Always looked good anytime he played against us. I'm surprised it took this long for a bigger club to take a chance on him. Would have liked to see us sign himQuote:

A ****! We were very strongly linked with Sinnott!
Delighted to see Connor get a chance with a premier division team, he has great ability and can deliver a good set piece with both feet, can let a game pass him by too easily at times and needs players around him to get him on the ball, won't dominate games against better teams but can always make things happen. If anyone has the league cup final against Derry on tape anywhere have a look at it, he had a great game that day despite the hammering.
Just a pity it's not with the Youths, he was doing some promotions work for the club too so will certainly be missed.
Derek Pender turned down a better offer from Shels,sums up Derek a really top Pro wants to play at the top level and I hope he has a great season with Pat's, Gareth Coughlan has huge potential and is a very skillful winger and will also do well for Pat's.Quote:

I hope so...Quote:

Really? Never rated him at all.Quote:

My thoughts exactly.Quote:

They've been a defensive partnership since the 2006 season and there won't be many, if any, teams with a better pairing than that.Quote:
