He’d be a great manager of the soccer ball team Finn Harps and would have them scoring 2-16 in no time at all.
Surely be to God he'd sort the goalkeeping problem out at least, seeing as he's used to playing with 15 of them.
In that odd sport he managed in, apparently the goalkeepers are allowed handle the ball OUTSIDE the penalty area! Weird...
I think Harps have been practising putting the ball over the bar all season so no big change needed:rolleyes:
Everyone apart from the goalkeeper’s!Quote:

McDonnell no loss from our point of view. Spent most of last season passing the ball backwards.
Paddy Kirk has said his goodbyes also.
kirk is very good , big loss for sligo
pats fans have any word on this? ben curtis , mccormack and corbally all open to leaving?
Ben Curtis and Kyle Robinson have both left. Both would do a job for a 1st division club or in Robinsons case Drogheda. Haven't heard anything about McCormack or Corbally.Quote:

Wonder will Kirk return to us?Quote:

You severely underestimate how poor our midfield was this season outside of Devoy and Clarke, both of whom could have won player of the season having only played half a season.Quote:

McManus has potential but still very young and prone to a rookie error
There were probably others who never saw the pitch or spent more time injured than playing so I didn't bother including them.
If McDonnell can be consistently available and put in 6/10 performances week in week out that's a big improvement on the current lot.
Interesting that Rovers have made solid enquiries to Derry about Brian Maher which would involve a big transfer fee, can we assume Mannus not staying another year then or is he being phased out?
I think the negativity around this is a bit too harsh. McGuinness has spent nearly a decade now working within Soccer - its not like he is just GAA man.Quote:

I dont know what he is like, if he knows his stuff or not. Thats for the Finn Harps management to decide. But he has paid his dues in the sport to be considered and I definitley would not just write him off because he is well known in another sport.
I struggle to believe this. Derry wouldn't sell to their biggest rivals and its not like they need the money is it?Quote:

Anyone who thinks derry would sell maher to rovers needs to go and have a lie down. Not a chance in hell that is true
Some players are going to Rovers to be successful and further their careers. You don't need me to give you a list now do you?Quote:

Spend all the European money on Cotter.
Gaffney went to Bradley for an improved contract, but was told "there's no magic money tree"Quote:

Are Sligo actually starting back training next week? That's a long pre season.
Paddy Kirk to Bohs confirmed. Some decent business getting done so far. Big clear out still needed the sooner the better though.
Delighted with that signing. A bohemian through and through and a good player to boot. You're right about the clear out though. Do you remember who got multi year deals last year? I can only remember Junior, Flores, Max Murphy and Clarke being multi year dealsQuote:
