Your first paragraph is incorrect as per league rules. Clubs must notify the other club. I'm sure it gets ignored all the time, but usually clubs don't publicly talk about doing so.Quote:

Not sure who actually paid the figure but it was paid.
I wouldn't expect Dundalk to take this any further, but it was interesting to see the side of the story that it was Sheppard who approached Dundalk and met with them in a hotel to sign that document around Sept / Oct.
There is a strong probability now that Cork offered Sheppard an improved offer, this would also likely to have involved a bonus to sign with Cork for 2 years.
I think he has to join Sligo before moving to Cork! :bigsmile:Quote:

I know literally nothing about him. What a signing.
JC just said Josh went to Bournemouth and came on loan to Longford where he did really well. He couldn’t get a game in the worst town side in recent history who were relegated. He barely got a game for pats. He’s been released by every club he’s ever signed for. Lazy player with a big time Charlie attitude.
Apparently Andy Cousins is his agent, enough saidQuote:

Can't say I know a great deal about him.Quote:

It remains to be seen if he can take it.
From the few times I've seen him in at Richmond park this year, he seems like a fairly big, strong and mobile unit, but never seemed to have the touch or class in front of goal like Fagan.
Basically, he's a young Irish version of Achille Campion. My guess is that he'd be a direct replacement for Campion, who I presume is leaving City? O'Hanlon and Ellis will likely be backups to the main CF next year, who has still yet to be signed.
I doubt you can have a breach of contract on a pre-contract. Pre-contracts arent worth the paper they are written on. Taking Chris Turner as an example ... signed a pre-contract with Sligo Rovers and was given some cash afaik. He decided to join Shams then (thank fuk) but couldn't sign until he gave it back. There was no breach of contract or compensation.Quote:

Go way again with this ould sh1te, A contract has three elements and the antiquity of the paper ain't one.Quote:

Danny Morrissey signing for Limerick
any good?Quote:

Sound young lad is Danny. I'll be writing to the bue army asking them to give him at least two games before turning on him.
Assume that's meant to be Ethan Boyle. Apart from Nathan Boyle being in Derry, the clue is in anything alcohol related would usually involve Ethan Boyle!Quote:

McDonald said: "We are happy to have Danny on board. We will be looking to get him fitter than he was, we know he can score goals, and hopefully he will be able to put away the chances that we create."
Shane Tracy signs for another season with Limerick.
Cork have signed Aaron Barry from ourselves.
This is frustrating.
That's confirmed now, good signing for Cork and a decent replacement for Delaney. I suppose McNamee is the replacement for Bolger really, but two good players in all the same.
I've been reading Derry fans on Facebook saying he was s###e and they are not sorry after him.Quote:

I saw Barry in Tallaght at the start of the season, when Derry beat Rovers. I think it was Mcbride's 2nd last game. Barry was v good that day, but he was still outshone by McBride, who was simply colossal! McBride scored that day and Derry were down to 10 men for the last half hour but they still kept Rovers out. It was mainly down to McBride in my opinion who kept the whole defensive unit solid, but Barry looked v good too.Quote:

Signed for us is Chris Mulhall from Drogheda Utd. he has an interesting career playing with Shels, UCD and Shamrock Rovers.
Mcmillan has been over talking to St Johnstone according to their manager. He also said benson is looking for English championship wages so they won't be signing him.
Some rival fans may be happy to hear that Mark McNulty has signed up with us for another two seasons. It is as yet unclear how many speeches he has agreed to give each season.
I, for one, am outraged by this! :mad:Quote:

I don't think geniuses get released by clubs like Shamrock Rovers.
(Unless you're talking academic geniuses maybe)
as confirmed on his twitter Gavin Boyne has signed for Shels from us.
