Although I have to laugh when I imagine the smile gradually fading from McDaid's face after he signed his York deal and he realised nobody was going to bring in a second contract for him to sign.
It was running on Sky sports news yesterday about a lad failing a drugs test with fleetwood town, I presume that's where the confusion came win.Quote:

Roddy said in todays Westmeath he is hopeful of keeping Coughlan. He also dismissed trying to sign Brian Gartland
Garbhan was training with us last night but I take it he has been all season instead of travelling up and down for training??Quote:

Big rumblings in cork as regards unhappy players and people unhappy with Dunnes comments about being glad to see the back of the players for two weeks. Watch this space.
So worth sticking a few quid on UCD tomorrow then?Quote:

So you never rated him but you wanted him to stay at Derry. InterestingQuote:

Lorcan Shannon has been rumoured to be coming to us from Rovers. Any info on him?
Dundalk fans would know more about Shannon but from what I've seen he's a real talent. He was in the first team squad this season but Croly's policy of not playing any wide midfielders except when he grudgingly calls on Dennehy meant he'd never really get a look in. Impossibly to predict how good he'll be but would definitely fit in at a young Bohs team right now. Unfortunately :)
Hes a decent squad player dodge but wudnt be in the starting 11 every week. I think seeing he never scored for York in his time there shows hes not as good as he think he isQuote:

While Bohs may also have a young side, they have a big squad and are certainly not struggling to the extent that Dundalk were last season. Shannon would probably need to make a pretty big improvement to be any real addition to Bohs.
He didn't seem up to much. Struggled to get in to the worst Dundalk side in years.Quote:

This years Bohs team is miles better than we were last season. They can pass the ball and if Shannon is used correctly, he could do very well for you.
I think comments are a little unfair on Shannon, I thought he did really well towards the end. Scored in the play off win at home v Waterford, he just needs games, he's full of energy, I`d say would be a really good move for him and Bohs.
So the Cork City ship lists even further. From my sources, Tommy won't leave(too proud and all that rubbish) and it will be far too expensive for the club to sack him. Tommy admitted during the week some players easily dislike him and I think a lot came to a head tonight. It's unbelievable how the situation unfolds. Many consequences may lie ahead eg. Very bad league finish, embarrassment, player issues, arguments, bad media, and worst of all either go broke sacking him or go broke keeping him with low attendance.
I foresee the bad times returning to City. It's sad but this is just the tip of the iceberg. You heard it here first.
I only found out the other day that Tommy Dunne is a cousin of Richard's. Comes from a good LOI family too, shame to see him in trouble at Cork because I always thought he was a good manager, but perhaps it's just one of those situations where it's a bad fit.
Problem with fan owned clubs #1: Unrealistic Expectations. *
All the people get to have a moo when common sense dictates at least 90% of people are terrible.
Limerick are in the same rickety form boat as Cork and you could count the number of people calling for Taylors head on the.fingers of.one hand.
I expect the messiah Dolan to wash up any day now on Leeside :bulgy:
Much better off with a series of boom bust benevolent dictators imo.
*see also Stephen Kenny era Shamrock Rovers/The history of Bohemian FC.
To be fair, there was nothing unrealistic about the expectations that were placed on Kenny. If he'd actually tried to play decent football like I'm told he is at Dundalk, he'd have got a lot more time at the club, like Croly has. He's a great manager but it was the wrong job for him. And privately-owned clubs aren't immune to the whims of supporters either, as you can see in the sack-happy English Premier League.Quote:

Yeh. Hes going back to yerselves. Big big loss for us but Roddy has promised 4 quality signings so things are looking up for us big time.
I see Conor Meade has tweeted saying this is his last game for Cobh tonight, who is he going to? I know it's rumoured that Waterford are signing him but they're surely not 2 weeks before a winding up petition is put before a Court?
Have heard cork have made a move for him.
Hello Bosco, you seem new to the League of Ireland. Welcome to our community.Quote:

Hmm that explains his tweets :)Quote:

Hmm, I thought Tony Cousins was being quite effusive about him on the radio the other day. You'd imagine Athlone would be handier for him if he's Galway based.Quote:

Here's the article in question and we will never throw stupid money at a player, we learnt our lessons.
