No, he’s moved on a permanent deal this timeQuote:

The Drogheda/Bohs transfer saga of where will Frantz Pierrot play this year has been answered. And that answers is… Velez Mostar of Bosnia :)
They’ll be playing in the conference league next season so he could well face one of the Irish sides
Darren Murphy won't sign a replacement as bad.Quote:

Chris Collopy leaving role as coach at Galway United to become assistant manager at Kerry according to local paper here. Dave Hurley, Colm Horgan and Regan Donelon all re-signed for 2025, that’s most of last year’s squad retained but no new signings confirmed yet
You're correct, going by their guidelines it should be possible now. I do find that a lot of the people on there that approve articles have an incredible sense of authority and general arsiness about them.Quote:

For example the likes of Jay McClelland, Anto Breslin, Jamie Lennon, Greg Bolger etc all have one.
Here’s a Sean Boyd article I created yesterday after seeing your post here. Will do a few more if I have time

I hear Jack Doherty has done his ACL in pre season. Never nice to hear of a player picking up that injury, particularly in pre-season. A big loss to Cobh this year
Thomas Considine leaves Treaty for Bray.
Started the season like a house on fire but disappeared until the last game of the season. Has potential for sure.
Where is the best list of current squads that are actually signed up?
Extratime’s one is probably the most up to date one I’ve seen. Although there are still a good amount of errors in it (for example shamrock rovers only have a squad of 3 players for this year apparently :))Quote:

Yeah I was looking at that one but when I saw the Rovers squad I thought there might be something better out there
Not sure about the First Division but @chippie1974 on Twitter puts together a fairly updated spreadsheet every so often for squads in the Premier. Have found it quite helpful for keeping up with things in the off season.Quote:

They’re now also apparently talking to Robbie Benson to keep up with that theme. Gavin Whyte is due to sign but is only a spring chicken by Derry standards at 29 in a few weeks, he should be a good signing. A crocked Benson less so.Quote:

That Towell to Dundalk rumour does seem to have some substance based on today’s reports. Unless he signs for a Dublin club, which looks very unlikely, you would think Louth would be his only other possible options.
Benson sort of makes a kind of sense. I'd be a wee bit worried about Derry's midfield being light on numbers and light on creativity with Patching and Fats gone. But yeah, this could also be another player that other teams have already had the best of.Quote:

All life in Ireland began at Euro 88 surely....I struggle with people knowing nothing of Euro 88 and Italia 90!!Quote:

With Patching and Kelly moving on Derry were a bit light in the ex Dundalk players front ! I think he's a better LB now, played there a good bit last 2 seasons for DFC.
Unlikely he’d ever play left back for Derry with Shane Ferguson and Ben Doherty in the squadQuote:

New club could be what he needs and finishes his career on a high but at face value his impact was much diminished of recent when people hoped he could step up a lead by example, driving on a side as he had in the past, but there was no sign of that player. t will be interesting to see if he was just tired of the mess at Dundalk or isnt the same player.Quote:

Though not sure how much you could judge anyone from playing in a half-frozen Finn Park in January.

He did very little last season, but he was far from alone on that front, to be fair the off field nonsense as many managers as wins, circus stuff, would bring anyone down, he still has a fair bit left in the tank and a new club (better) and staying in PD will probably freshen him up, good move for both. He was exceptional and what a double signing he was with McEleney when they joined to strengthen the double winning squad of 2015 to start again in 2016. What days they were.Quote:
