Rory Patterson set for Derry City
I presume that Plymouth are going to release him from his contract then, seeing as he's still technically one of their players?Quote:

He's out of contract in the summer anyway so they'll probably be glad to get rid of him. They owe him wages anyway so strictly speaking he could always just get the contract annulled. Maybe Stephen McGuinness will have a word.
Rory Patterson has ended his loan spell at Linfield to sign a three-year deal with Derry City.

3 years. That's some contract in todays LOI World. Wonder what the logic was to that. Unlikely to be with a view to selling him on to an English Club down the line, as he's in his late 20s.Quote:

what club did rory patterson play in the non league ? I always thought he went to Plymouth after Coleraine??Quote:

He made his name at FCUM. I actually think he could work out to be a very good signing, but handing him a three year contract in Today's LOI climate is fairly bizarre.Quote:

Simon Madden to Derry City another rumour
He was training with Rovers today.Quote:

"Off to Dundalk saturday do some training and hopefully put pen to paper :) #buzzin"
Patterson would be a good bet for leading scorer in the league this season.

I knew Anto had been to a fair few clubs but going by Wikipedia this will be his 8th club in 10 seasons. Become the definition of a journeyman. Shels to be the new Stoke now! what with the small pitch in Tolka!Quote:

21 next month. I think compo came into it alright.
We offered UCD some under the table money from our doctored accounts (yes it has been revealed on the ever insightfull always ultra forum), unfortunately UCD were having none of it even though we assured them that money is no object when it comes to us.Quote:

What you think of Rogers Sligoman?
Would have him back in a heartbeat if his fitness could be guaranteed but unfortunately it can't. Only started a handful of games in the last 18 months cuz of a couple of different injuries. Was a key reason why we were up near the top for three months at the start of Foster's first season.Quote:

Injury log here
http://www.dundalkfc.com/tag/maher
Think he's more or less the same as Clarke so not much change for us really. Although his kick-outs are shocking from what I remember.Quote:

T'was.Quote:

He took it down quick tho,Hawks and a few dozen Dundalk fans were after him :)Quote:
"I'm sorry how can player who costs a team roughly 20+goals/points in a season still get another Contract!! #onlyintheLOI"

Yeap agree Maher is a good player, plays primarily as a centre midfielder but versatile enough to play at right back and I think he even played on the right wing a couple of times. Full of energy but unfortunately for us and himself he has been plagued by injuries over the past year and a half. Here's a recent interview:

Sicknote.
Hes actually interviewing him outside a BBs in the middle of a shopping centre with a phone....oh dear.Quote:
