Stephen Kenny signed him for us. I had actually forgotten he was at Derry for a short while in Stephen Kennys first spell. Was this after he managed Waterford Utd? I wish him the best of luck as he was highly regarded in Tramore.
Over what period? Tom McNulty who won two league titles with Dundalk was possibly the hardest player I saw in my time.Quote:

I had the privilege of playing with Tom (mc nulty)at the end of his career..stamping in an 18 year olds toes,two footing a youth team player and thumping a ref among his antics.DFC legend
Mc Nulty, Keely, Noel King,Trapper Tracey were no angels but Reynolds targetting of young players on the pitch was truly shocking.Filthy player.
Jesus you would never guess that Reynolds was a hoop😉!Quote:

If by 'good' you mean utter scumbag then deffo. I have seen many hard/tough/dirty players in the LOI but Reynolds was an utter scumbag.A nasty evil player that brought nothing good to the game.Quote:

"Reynolds sent for early shower" would have had a very different meaning in this parallel universe!Quote:

Welcome to foot.ie
Hitler - started right wing early on but ended up his career playing as last man in a dodgy defence.
With Sean O'Driscoll sacked by Nottingham Forest today, will that affect the moves for Stephen McLaughlin and Barry McNamee and the link up with the club?
Same thing happened at Fleetwood and Davy McDaid's move is in limbo now.Quote:

No not yet.Quote:

I know its the Christmas period but the rumors have died down a lot of the last few weeks.
Will be interesting to see who shows up for the PFAI game against Malahide.
Pascal re-signs
http://www.sligorovers.com/latest-ne...al-with-rovers
Pleased with that. Pascal has fairly obvious shortcomings, but has a big upside. Given a proper preseason to work on him, I reckon Baraclough could make him far more consistent and effective.
LOI Blog reporting that Stephen McLaughlin to complete his move to Nottingham Forest tomorrow for only €160,000.
Indeed. Also somewhat ironic that he appears likely to be resettled in the East.Quote:

I think that's pretty decent if there are add ons in there.
Kenny said in a local paper today that he is signing 6 more for us, he has midfield complete which would suggest Chris Shields is not getting a new deal.
Wants 3 defenders, 1 striker and 1 left winger. As per Orielweb we are linked with Longford's Tom Crawley.
Also the PFAI squad are playing Malahide tonight in a friendly.
Yeah Crawley is apparently off to yourselves or Derry. Good, skillful player, was probably our best player last season.Quote:

Blinkhorn would be a a great signing for Dundalk, but he's currently with Hyde in conf prem, so unlikely to leave mid season? Mind you he'd be ideal for Mulvenna as an option if someone of his strenght did sign. Griffin's deal seems to have stalled to Derry, so maybe he will be re-signing?Quote:

In comparison to other years theres some good players on the list this year.
Hmmm,who to take?

Loving the Danny-coloured strips with Joyce trim.
Did Blinkhorn not have a serious dig at LOI when he left Sligo?
That's not a bad side from the PFAI list there. You would think McMillan wouldn't be short of a few offers?
