So, i'ts slowly becoming Who....bin!
Wouldn’t surprise me if Nicholson was the player in question. He was with Inverness before Harps and Inverness were in administration up until yesterday so it makes sense that they’d go down every possible avenue for money through desperation. Seem to have been in financial bother for a while now, the way they treated Aaron Doran last year was disgusting. Club captain with nearly 400 appearances for the club and ended up leaving him high and dry without required surgery that they were supposed to pay for before his contract endedQuote:

Seen that craic alright about rumours surrounding both hoban & o"Kane returns and he (killer)fairly shrugged those aside and proper too to make it clear that the club remains with a huge debt and that some guys are playing here for basically nothing(expenses & experience) and how he thought it would be difficult to bring in players on big wage even on loan while we have player getting sfa for their efforts.Quote:

Lots in the press also about former kit guy taking a wrc case😁
Got what he was offered in the first place 🙄
Anyway, as this is a rumours page -
JR Wilson to dundalk from Athlone
More WRC cases than functioning toilets in Oriel at this stageQuote:

I was told that FAI clubs have collectively paid out way in excess of €1 million in recent times.Quote:

Theo Farquharson and Eemeli Honkola have been released by Kerry - the former's little surprise, given he was very much surplus to defensive requirements, but the latter's somewhat more so after Kelliher's injury, which leaves us short on out and out strikers in the squad.
Galway have signed Trinidad and Tobago international Malcolm Shaw. Sadly from a pun point of view he plays up front, rather than in the middle
Getting flashbacks to the late 90s when Eric Lavine, Luther Watson and Ryan Lucas (I think) arrived. I was in college there around that time and they made their mark in the nightclubs if not on the pitch. Eric Lavine aside, who was part of our best ever side and is a good guy.
Oh, I don't know about that. Given the spread of clubs and where he can line out ... Shaw's almost nationwide.Quote:

From what I have seen of them they needed defensive reenforcements so I think this could be a good signing for them and help them pull away from Sligo a bit.
Also talk of Dom Thomas leaving Derry.

Can't say I've seen much of him to say whether he was a good or bad signing but generally good signings dont leave after half a season.
Rumours on twitter that Dylan McGlade is Training with dundalk, I'd be stunned if they signed him
Will Patching joined Coleraine on a season long loan from Carlisle
Hadn't realised he'd gone to Carlisle. What happened him there - injuries or just not good enough?
He made 10 appearances for them as they were relegated from League Two. He’s a fine player on the ball on his day but playing for a side in a lower league relegation scrap probably wasn’t a good choice of move in hindsight for himQuote:

Didn't make a squad after mid-March and looking at a Carlisle forum there's suggestions he was never fully fit and carrying a bit of weight, but I don't think he was actually injured/unavailable.
(On a separate note, soccerway was a great site for getting info on appearances - but there was an update last week and it's almost unusable now. Don't know am I the only one to see that. Bizarre stuff)
Yeah I noticed that myself, the Soccerway update is absolutely woeful and is now missing huge amounts of data for each player. Some shift from being an excellent resource to the current mess. Transfermarkt seem to have upped the quality of their appearance stats and have Leinster/Munster Senior Cup appearances included too which I haven’t seen from any other mainstream siteQuote:

Going to Carlisle was likely his best or only option as he really wouldnt have liked a bottom of L2 physical game every week. Even LoI isnt as raw and frantic as desperately trying to stay in league football. Luxury player in a good side.Quote:

Word going around that Mousset has left Bohs. We got the Sligo goal out of him at least but he can't stay fit at all. If we're going to push Rovers we have to have someone we can rely on.
He plays like a child in the school yard but, going back 7 or 8 years now, he was very entertaining to watch for a while.Quote:

Also Kyle O'Connor was captaining Athlone last night after he had been released 3 weeks ago. Not a word out of them that he had signed back. Athlone continue to work in mysterious ways
Seen that alright. Do need to sign someone in the window as Whelan is not exactly prolific either.Quote:

He's been good enough, when he gets on. I'd say that's the issue, he's just not getting the game time.Quote:

Holt is a strange one. Plays well, I think, and had to go through a wee bit of aggro to force the move to Derry in the first place.
McMullan, too, seems odd. Well-liked, gets the games.
Would be a good move for Hoban to Coleraine considering RH is there. Cant remember the name of the player but yet another ex Derry City player joined him last week.
That is some amount of movement alright. I'd say there's a couple there that will cost a decent amount to move on as well. I guess Lynch's initial assessment of the league/squad was a bit wrong then and he's trying to start again from scratch.Quote:

If that's the route Derry go this summer it could be a long season for you.
Dont quite get this Holt thing at all. I have watched him and he genuinely isnt our best centre half in my eyes. Hayden Cann has impressed me this year and is probably on a fraction of the wage Holt is commanding.Quote:

Saw this on Twitter and thought I was losing my marbles. Chelsea are reportedly close to 'beating' Liverpool and Newcastle to the signing of Kian Best that was on loan at Bohs for the first half of this season and managed to get the sum total of 1 appearance for them before being released by Preston (without being told, he actually saw it himself on their Instagram!) and not offered a permanent deal by Bohs. About as strange a piece of transfer news as it gets
https://chelsea.news/2025/06/chelsea...-transfer/amp/
It's especially weird because from what I've heard when he arrived at Bohs he wasn't match fit, he arrived in the middle of the championship season, and he never improved on that apparently. It must have been especially bad because while he wasn't good against Derry in his loan appearance he also wasn't awful but even as the only actual left back in the squad he only managed to get 1 appearance. Seems he's a young lad who doesn't take his trade seriously yet, maybe being released was a wake up call for him.Quote:

Where was Brad Jones again in LOI and when did he play? Is that GK that used to play for Liverpool?Quote:
