Stephen O'Flynn can't play LOI again I don't think something about getting tax back.

Any opinions from others as to what Kevin Devaney and Paul Finnegan are like?
Finnegan is a good ball playing centre half. Quick, good in the air, and composed on the ball. Left Oriel Park as he was too old for the U19's and we operate with a small squad of senior players supplemented by the U19's.Quote:

The question is how Derry are taken into consideration for this as its an Irish government scheme, not an LOI scheme so he may well be able to play for Derry and continue to pay his tax in the North.
I don't think you're actually allowed play LOI even as an amateur if you've claimed the refund. Revenue got the hump after a few players did it.
Kevin Devaney is a very decent player. Was disappointed when he left Harps, wouldn't mind seeing him return.
Neal Horgan did it for several seasons If I'm remembering correctly.Quote:

I'm open to correction but I'm pretty sure that's why O'Flynn didn't sign for Harps when he was training with them a while back. He even played for their reserves in Ulster Senior League I think. Nigel or Mr A would know more. You're supposed to claim the refund when you retire.Quote:

Your own club would be the ones to ask about signing retired players!Quote:

It was pandemonium. Crisps and minerals everywhere.Quote:

Thanks for the reminder Charlie, it was fun reading this again

Surely Dundalk fans have better things to do than reminisce about that season. I mean, we clearly don't, but surely you should.
Not forgetting the great chant when Fenn was subbed 'bye bye baby, baby bye bye'Quote:

He's kak. Always looks overweight. Dosent take on full backs. Always cuts inside. Couldn't cross his legs. Pity cause he's a Sligo lad so was hoping he'd do it for us last season.Quote:
