For Sean Connor, in Dalymount '06. Think the Bohs stewards took it off the lad that made it. Might have to make something similiar for Tallaght;)Quote:

I dont understand that with standard players contracts and documented regulations how this sort of debacle could happen?

And me can we not just have a ****ing quiet pre season like everyone else. Sign players, release player play a few friendlies is that to much to ****ing ask.Quote:

You clearly have misunderstood how contract law works. If the player signed a contract with Sligo Rovers he is bound to it. Talking about about needing to register contracts with the league is bullsh1t of the highest order. This would mean treating footballers differently to other types of workers, which is illegal under European Law. A precedent for this kind of thing was set by the Bosman case.Quote:

Well, it depends what's in the contract. Sometimes a contract doesn't kick in until registration. Put it this way, if Brittany promises to meet you in The Belfry on Saturday night and her Mammy won't let her out of the house 'cos she thinks your not good enough, would you not be better off looking for Kylie than chasing Brittany.Quote:

I'll await my judgement till its confirmed he's gone. Extremley poor form but its a job. No loyalties anywhere.
nothings confirmed yet which is odd, think he will eventually go to Shams though, bit bored of it now ..think Russell would be ideal replacement as well, bring on the new season
This is a joke. I just feel like we are being walked over by shams and turner. Our own fault I suppose if his "contract" isnt what it should be but we need a quality central midfielder or it will be another season of mediocrity!
According to the Champion Turner is in pre-season training with Rovers but Cook is none the wiser as to whether Turner will still be the there at the start of the season. Responding to the speculation about the players future he said the stories are "perhaps not without foundation".
keep your feelings to yourselfQuote:

For the record, as I said before, Chris Turner has signed a contract with Sligo Rovers and is a Sligo Rovers player.
If there are any further developements, we will let you all know.
Turner has signed a 2 year deal with us.

If this is true at least it brings some closure to the subject and the club can move on and concentrate on players who actually do want to play for the club. Do you know if a fee was involved?Quote:

Most worryingly, we are desperately short of quality in the centre of the pitch.
In my opinion our squad at the moment is much weaker than last season.
confirmed here
http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/35...sign-for-hoops
Now that it's confirmed.
What an arsehole. Way I see it, he was whoring himself out to a club because he had a child on the way. Got a sweet signing on fee,that was him sorted, now he turns his back on the club who have helped him out big style. No loyalty at all.
Shame on you Chris.
It's funny that he signed a contract with us but then suddenly ''his girl and child do not want to move to Sligo''.
Family meetings - Out of style since 98'.
F**k you Chris.
Very disappointed with this whole affair...disappointed with the player although i shouldnt be suprised..and also with the lack of information from the club!!...anyway as has been said its over now and we can move on...cant wait for the fixture list now to see when we get the chance to get the best revenge possible!!
I can only assume Forza are already at the drawing board for one of their brilliant banners and that it will feature Chris and Seanie.

What a bunch of ejits we have running our club. This guy walks in and takes thousands of euro out of our coffers and we get nothing in return. I said it when we signed him that it was a bad bad move, what Irish club in their right mind would sign a player 4 months before the start of the season. No wonder Shams weren't worried, they knew they'd get their man, while the ejits at our club payed his bills for a few months.
Tapping up players isn't wrong in your book?Quote:

Anyway, given his attitude, the departure of Turner will definitely turn out to be a good thing, even if the whole affair could have been a bit smoother.
Whether it was validated or not he turned his back on a signed agreement with usQuote:

His record speaks for itself and one has only to look at the number of times he saw red last season to realise he'd not be any real addition to our setup.
Let's move on and forget about this whole episode. There's never been a greater opportunity for a successful season than the one that's about to start. Players are two a penny and it's the clubs that have the upperhand. Should common sense pervail and good preparations put in place then the Bit O' Red will once again live the dream.
Keep the faith!!!
