Quote:

Turner admitted that he was swayed to Sligo because of his relationship with Bit O'Red boss Paul Cook. The duo worked with each other for a short period in 2007 and Turner was impressed with the Scouser's ambitions for next season.

"When I knew I was leaving Dundalk it was a toss up between Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers. The two managers I love working under are Paul Cook and Sean Connor so that was the reason I picked Sligo", he said

That is some peformance from Rovers on the Season Ticket front - they are on the up big time, and when they get there, no one will be capable of catching them for a long long time I fear

Thats would be a grwat signing if true, Foster is one who wont put up with his crap off the field and im sure there will be clauses in his contract. He seemed to like it in Dundalk as per a few people I was talking to that he spoke too.(including myself once upon a time)

Although this "genius/maverick" could do a good job for us, I'd worry that he'd go under again. The main thing is that it seems like the rats are leaving a sinking ship down in Cork.

I think, weecountyman, we've found the perfect solution to our problem. I'll go halves on the bus ticket.
As an aside Georgie has been made captain according to Shoddy in the star.

Saw that! Plus he's signed. So that means he won't be gracing Oriel Park for 5 games!

You mean the word according to Rod isn't, well, the truth? So long as he's not in Dundalk it's okay, maybe he'd been better off down the road in United Park :D;):D

He's not the captain, he's a very naughty boy.

Rovers are at camp in Carton House, where Real Madrid also had their pre-season training camp. Pictures here: http://shamrockrovers.ie/multimedia/...soncartonhouse show two new keepers (two of the last three pics) neither of whom I recognise or who've been mentioned on the official site as signing.

yeah spot on with that blue man.. Dave Freeman signed for us yesterday before the Tullamore Town friendly.. somehow I dont think its a popular moveback after what happened the last time he was here but if he gets double figures for this coming season then I will forgive him.. What happened that he left Monaghan in the first place Magicme?:confused:

Cooke signed Philly Hughes. Nothing more sinister Marty.

He's only playing U-16, he's not as old as Craig Walsh. He's had plenty of offers from abroad so I don't think we'll be seeing much of him here in the near future.

Not necessarily true, Shams sign players that are under contract with other clubs so I presume Dundalk can do the same if they want.
