Skinner has probably signed to be back up for Hunt.
Will Stephen McFail be re-signing with Shams?
Brain Gartland signed for Dundalk aswell today according to the rumours about the town
Will be announced tomorrow (at the Parade) or Monday morning I assume
Id imagine a few more will be announced over weekend/monday aswell, Gannon, Mountany and O Donnell
He said Nutsy has asked him to come back and he expects to be here next season. Kenna is the only player currently contracted for next year.Quote:

He was poor more or less up until Nutsy arrived. Apart from the odd game, he was just slow and I think didn't take enough responsibility as a senior player. He also has injury problems and a fatigue condition, but he barely missed a game in the final 1/3 of the season so hopefully with a good break behind him he'll hit the ground running next year.
Liam Miller meant to be signing for Cork City.
The disappointment when Cork announce their big signing tomorrow morning as Denis Behan.Quote:

Who is the scobe on the left? Looks like Damo from Damo & Ivor.Quote:

That 'scobe' (Keith Ward) will be an excellent signing for Sligo if he can retain and keep himself fit. He's a very tidy player who can operate perfectly as a play maker or on the wing. His best role would probably be play maker in the middle. He was very popular with Dundalk, but never really got a look in after his bad injury mid season 2013, hopefully he'll get a chance to show his talent now.
For anyone who doesn't know he immediately sought after a well known popular young supporter who was in a wheelchair at the time after the EA Sports final (he played 45 mins, turned out his last action with us) and gave up his medal.
Keiths a good lad and a classy midfielder, would have loved to see him coming bacl to Bohs.
He wasn't at Bohs before was he?
Karl Sheppard has signed for City!

Good player, very injury prone though.Quote:

He did go from us straight to Dundalk, yeah?
Decent player for Sligo alright. Lots of bustle and energy. And even a bit of skill. And a nice guy to boot.
Edit - google says he signed for Dundalk from Bohs. So he must have left us to go to Bohs. Don't remember that at all!
We should have most of our business done by the end of next week.

After a season at Bohs, he was signed back to Dundalk and has spent two injury ravaged seasons here.
I really hope it woks out for him at Sligo. A great lad and a lovely player.
Handy little guide here from our website-Quote:

In that act of thoughtfulness alone Wardy demonstrated the sort of person he is. Fantastic generosity in giving his medal to a young man who was ecstatic with joy.Quote:

All the best to Shep. A class act all-round whose second spell at Rovers just never took off. The replay in Dundalk showed just what he's capable of when it clicks. Hopefully Nutsy has a good replacement already identified. I hear Denis Behan is free on Fridays.

Wasn't aware of that about Ward - that's an act of pure class from him, a lovely gesture
Shane O'Connor highly likely to be returning to City.
Announced last night that Ian Bermingham has re-signed for us for next season. Great news to get just before a cup final, he's by a distance the best left back in the league.
didn't think much of him when he was last with usQuote:

Silly thing to say. There's plenty of players who didn't have it work out for them in England who came back to have very successful Loi careers.Quote:

It's completely understandable why he struggled the first time with us, it's very tough on lads coming back from England after things don't work out and it can take different players different amounts of time to adjust, some players never play again after they come back. Hopefully he'll come in a do well with us, JC is the right man to help get him motivated and playing to his potential.Quote:

I don't think Caufield has to get his head right because it looked to me like Russell had done a good job of that already.
Shocked that anyone could watch him with us and say he didn't do well he did very well anytime he played and his attitude was spot on was one of the first people I wanted re-signed.
Ipswich let Colin Healy go at the same time. Apparently he's done alright since.Quote:
