He hasn't fully made up his mind yet but "it'll all be sorted by the end of the week". Sounds like Cork to me.

I hope he does well but can't see him making it big in England.
But Roddy had them playing great darts and bingo. As he said himself,Quote:

Being cynically inclined.....is Pat Devlin Dave Mooney's "Advisor" by any chance? He has pretty strong connections with Blackburn and it does seem a bit odd that a lad who was being strongly linked with Cork City, Dundee Utd, Bohemians, Ipswich etc etc is suddenly being trialled by a premiership side with (realistic or not) champions league ambitions
I seen Mooney play once last year & he is undoubtedly a good player but he's not premiership good....was thinking maybe he agents or whatever got somehow cajoled him a trial at Blackburn to drum up interest in the upper echelons of the chamionship or spl
thats my drunken/conspiritorial slant on it.....whoever he ends up with good luck to the lad
Sorry for the bump but :rolleyes:Quote:
