Always a fun time to see fans of the small regional clubs devoting so much time to discussing Cork City FC.
Sounds like Ronan Murray will be filling in that New striker role.Quote:

Not painting them all but there’s a fair whack on them online. I had a Cork fan go and text via WhatsApp about Dundalk straight after the cup final and not about the win 🙄🙄🙄Quote:

A city fan said Sheppard was average? I don't doubt there's a couple of clueless people in any fan base but there's no way in hell that was a majority view.Quote:

One thing I will say, a chunk of Sligo’s online base through social media do seem to come across quite bitter and delusional. If you refer to Shamrock Rovers as ‘Rovers’ you seem to get some sort reaction from a Sligo😳😳
Rory Hale signs for Derry from Galway on a one year deal.
Interesting to note that his grandfather played for us in the late 60s/early 70s. Scored 100 goals in three seasons. Some going.
Not because he was average though! In fact, probably the oppositeQuote:

Good day for derry apparently patterson has signed a contract extension
Kenny making it clear that Sheppard had signed a pre contract with Dundalk as long ago as September. Not too impressed with Caulfield either.

Does anyone know the precise legal standing of a pre-contract?Quote:

Not impressed JC called him out on his lies in the media, after waiting a year to make a claim to the media instead of directly to JC or the player about a phone call.Quote:

He should retract his claim about Nults and apologise. Certainly before he gets on a high horse attacking Caulfield for calling him out on it. Caulfield said nothing in the run up to the final. He was well within his right to call Kenny out and back up his player once it was over.
On the Shep/Dundalk thing, be interesting to hear the legality of it. Not sure what the purpose of the statement was unless it's in prep for a legal challenge?
I expect the intention of giving the details about Sheppard was to annoy or embarrass him as payback for messing them around.
Fair enough. Seems a bit petty but no harm done I guess.Quote:

Simillar thing happened in scotland a few years ago.
I wonder how the Dundalk fans who found Mark McNultys comments embarrassing feel about this statement.
The cheese has slid off his cracker.
Must be difficult for dundalk to watch their manager having a breakdown, in public.
Sheppard was contracted to Cork City though close to the end (Bosman territory), Kenny implies a lot in his post too which leads me to believe it won’t be pursued by Dundalk as every dubious contract dealing they’ve had will be dragged out of the closer too.Quote:

Now they could well have followed the rules correctly. Be interesting to see if any more comes from it.
The same way you felt about his commentsQuote:

In football, the last 6 months of the contract players are free to negotiate with whoever they want. The clubs interested don't have to notify the club in property.
If the pre-contract is broken it is because there is a clause for both of the parts which allows them to break it under some conditions, normally paying a fee the player is going to be able to break it. Probably Sheppard got that money from Cork in the signature o the new contract as a "bonus" or "loyalty payment"
