Sean McCaffrey when he managed Monaghan Utd in loi,how was he thought of in Monaghan from his tenure?

Town have signed Pat Flynn from Shels. Haven't seen much of him lately but he was always a decent enough player, albeit a lunatic at times. Should be well able for the First Division anyway.

I saw him play for Shels last season when I went to three of their matches in Tolka.. He was the focal point of their defence.. He was way better than Graham Gartland!he will be a loss to Shels..

There's Pat Flynn dammed with faint praise

Confirmation that Quigley has been paid off and that Ryan had a two-year contract with a break clause if he got a club in Canada, which he has with Ottawa Fury.

The re-signing of Shane Robinson must surely be the calming balm needed after the trauma of losing Ryan and Quigley.

If only Gartland and Bradley would come home to Tallaght............

I'm so excited by the re-signing of Robinson I've decided to take tomorrow off work to celebrate.

Extratime reckoned he'd signed back for the '04 season earlier on. He may have been some addition that year.

Didn't Dundalk pay about 10k on the 2 lads from Mervue 2 years ago? That McCaffrey spoofer may just have been the worst manager the league has ever seen.

Are you sure about that? Usually after a player turns pro, compensation is only paid to the previous club after any subsequent transfer when the player is out of contract unless there's a sell-on clause agreed.

Harps squad up to 11 with Josh Mailey signing.

Great news for the Harps, Josh Mailey has massive ability & if he fulfills that potential the Club & player will do well. The problem is that Josh can play anywhere, maybe that isnt a huge problem all the same.

I believe Mailey is one of the few players in the Harps squad that would be well able to hold his own in the Premier Division should be fulfill his potential. One of the more exciting players to come to Harps in a long time.

Djilali back for us - massive.
Ventre gone to Derry - indifferent.
17/12/2013, 10:19 PM
Nah Nah Nah Nah

Based on the way we played with Ventre and without Ventre last season he'll be a big loss

Not a whole lot going on up our way at the moment but it has been announced that David Cassidy won't be rejoining us because he doesn't feel he can make the commitment required. Horgan also said that one of his targets (Pat Flynn) turned us down because he was offered more by Longford. So we're still on the lookout for that centre back and centre mid.

Flynn might have been offered more at Longford, but as far as I know he still has a day job so training part-time in Dublin was probably the major attraction.

I think you might be giving me too much credit here as I'm not sure I see what I did there. Longford train in Dublin, as far as I'm aware, while Drogs presumably train in Drogheda. You'd think that would be an important consideration for a guy who has a job and doesn't particularly want to be travelling too much.
18/12/2013, 6:25 AM

Yeah we train in Leixlip I believe.

Roddy Collins had a Q&A session last night. He's off to Britain today, meeting with Celtic about getting some players on loan.
Also interested in a Ghanaian centre half, playing in England at the moment.

He also mentioned a player he was due to pick up on Saturday, bring to the Brandywell, show him where he would be living, etc. The player questioned why he should travel "way up there" to the Brandywell. Told Roddy to "talk money". Roddy told him where to go and he signed for Rovers the next day for �200 extra a week. We assume it was Ryan Brennan.

FYI, Ivan Sproule has moved to Linfield for �1k a week. He was getting �950 in Scotland. Linfield seriously splashing the cash this weather.

Teams always play that 'they offered more money' card when they lose out on a player I'd agree that it has more to do with the fact he has a job and we train in dublin plus he's guaranteed regular game time.

He was guaranteed first team football at Drogheda. In my opinion, he was their best player.

He was offered more money though. That doesn't mean Longford have overstretched themselves, just that we might not have valued him as highly. We train in Mosney, not Drogheda.

I think you're confused. Pat Flynn has never played for Drogheda.

Ruaidhri Higgins off to Dundalk, so the rumours go.

Cassidy was not our best player - we wasted him by sticking him on the wing. He'll be a great signing for someone who will play him through the middle. Bundles of talent.

That's almost an annual rumour at this stage.

Kenny is an admirer and was interested last year. Foster was in talks with him previously and had actually agreed a deal with him before Bohs came in for him in 2010.

Difference this time though is that Higgins isn't renewing his contract with us.

The predictability of this makes me chuckle. Roddy ALWAYS has a story about a prospective signing he dropped for lack of commitment early in his tenure at a club. It's one of his things.

Yep. He'll say someone is looking for mad money and then offer Ventre more than Cork and Rovers did

Jaysus, a battle between us and Pats to see who can sign the most midfielders! He was close to joining Glentoran last night.

Ventre having a go in the Mirror. One might suggest he has a bit of a cheek going on about loyalty after the stunt he pulled this time last year.

He has his diehard fans in Sligo, but he has no business going on about how he loves the place and in the next breath trying to undermine the club in the media.

Well to be fair, if he was given the impression that a contract was going to be offered, then to be told it wasn't, he would be entitled to feel let down.

I think this is a great signing for Derry.
