Well there was a bit more than that. (Initially threatening to leave unless he was only going to train once a week in Dublin etc) Oh and it wa actually Billy Gibson who took Mulcahey's place, and he was a far better player. You're 100% correct on Pats not allowing him join rivals, but only after Mulcahey told Pats he wouldn't be travelling to games. I was a huge fan of Dave's but he acted poorly last seasonQuote:

Heard about the above story, but obviously from a different point of view. From what I've heard the reason Mul decided he wouldn't travel to away games was because he felt he was being treated unfairly by McDonnell on a number of occasions. Obviously that's no excuse for Dave saying he would only train once a week etc but that's where it seems to have originated from, that and the fact that he was dropped despite the fact that he was performing well for Pat's. But obviously people hear different sides of the story from different sources.

He's a free agent, so could sign for anybody. The window relates to transfers only.
Don't think his performances warranted being dropped in the manner that he was tbh, he did very well for Pat's and they would have been far better served with him in the team IMO.Quote:

Genuinely didn't mean to be smug (although apparently I can't help it). Just wanted to say it earlier and forgot.Quote:

Haha, was only joking:) With Dave being a part time player as he was then it was unlikely that he would stick around to sit on the bench, at least he had the right attitude in wanting to move, admittedly he may not have gone about this the right way, he certainly hasn't at City right now anyway.
I'd disagree that Gibson is a better player but that's just my opinion, you're entitled to yours...no matter how wrong it is!:p
Are Cork not "Rivals".:confused:Quote:

From A CCFC persepctive its another wage off the books in order to facilitate our 3 new signings.

"Stephen McGuinness, head of the Players' Union, was an excellent guest. He revealed that Cork City players were free agents because they hadn't been paid for three weeks ahead of the crucial Bohemians clash at Turner's Cross. What on earth is going on in Cork?
"The fact that the wages weren't paid JUST after the transfer window closed was too much of a coincidence as far as McGuinness was concerned. If that had happened a couple of weeks earlier the players could have left the club for nothing as City were in breach of contract."
Who knows. McGuinness has already lied about players' wages not being paid this season. (http://dundalkfc.com/News/080319_GerryMatthews.asp)
Is Billy Gibson still around dodge?
As head of the PFAI he has to be seen to have a purpose. I am surprised RTE let away with such a statement as suggesting players could have been free agents. They were at worst paid 1 week late so can't see how his suggestions stacks up.Quote:
