That would be a bit of a head scratcher, if true.

That would be a bit of a head scratcher, if true.
John Coleman left Waterford,a very odd appointment I thought at the time and no surprise it’s not lasted long,Waterford on to their 3rd manager of the season now…..
Considering how they turned results under the interim coaching team they went backwards under Coleman. It was an underwhelming and uninspiring appointment imo. A throw someone in from England by the owners effort. The last roll of the dice is to get that interim sort of form again but its very late, it could work as results did pick up quickly the first time. At least that was my impression.
I think they would take being withing striking distance of Galway and play them last day for safety.
They played Bohs off the park the other week, should've won. No coming back from six defeats in a row though.
Has Danny Ventre departed Waterford too I wonder? Explains JCs outburst the last few days! DV has to be the next logical step if he stays or will KL return?
Who is in the running for the Waterford job now!
I think most blues supporters would to see either Lawlor take on the job permanently or for Bircham to make a return, we can dream!
Victor oshivuna finally formally announced 2 million guaranteed fee plus sell ons etc.
Serious boost of cash for rovers. Melia has had a good farewell season for Pats will be interesting to watch this kid next seaaon.
Andy Boyle has announced his retirement from football. He’s been well past it for a few years now but he had an incredible LOI career before that, he was brilliant at his peak
Andy Boyle - a great pro and captain and part of possibly best ever back 4 Dundalk ever had.
Gannon - Boyle - Gartland - Massey, all arrived free too !
He has one full Ireland cap to his name, 5 LOI titles and 3 FAI Cups, some going.
*4 LOI / 2 Cups, forgot he was with PNE and missed 18 double.
And part of possibly the best First Division side ever - UCD's 2009 title-winning side
Boyle, Evan McMillan, Bolger, Ward, Finn, Kilduff, Dave McMillan - all went on to win multiple Premier titles I think
But what have they done for us lately?!
With the form.they have been in recently wouldnt put it past them winning through the playoffs
Oh you're right - though he played for ye in the Champions League. But that was his first season there; he wasn't in the league-winning side
Boyle has missed a lot of this season through injury so I presume he wasn't going to be fit for any remaining games so called it a day now. Another one of our signings Matt Smith hasn't played at all for us after being injured pre season so bad luck or poor judgement on these 2.
I’ll try again!who does he replace in the first 11?
I always thought Boyle was a bit overrated. Good defender, in a great defence at Dundalk but at a club that has been blessed with some of the greats I wasnt of the opnion that Boyle was a budding international or that he should have been playing regularly at a higher level. He needed a top communicator and organiser behind or around him to get the best out of him imo. Id have him in a squad than not all the same.
Last weekend Bohs v Shalke, Bohs had a trialist. Anyone know who he was and what position?
Apparently it was Kyle Shaw, 21 year old centre half that plays for Sydney FC’s reserve team

Cheers, I suppose it's positive that they are looking at players for next season already.
I see Flores has extended his contact until the end of 2027. It's good news, he's been great this year.
Has been great alright, pushing the excellent Devoy for player of the season.
Hearing Mark Connolly has signed a pre-contract with Dundalk. Probably a good move for both parties.
I'd take that if true. Need experience. Havent seen a whole lot of him this season but he'll still have ability if he finds form. Some pace beside him would be good. Again if true, might show that there is something of a budget available. So another 15 signings to go then!
Ah stop, he's been absolutely awful this season for Derry.
Yeah Im not sure we are in the driving seat on being super fussy on players that might be available to us. There are no shortage of players that have been awful at Derry recently for whatever reason, take Duffy out of that side!? Maybe Derry will be paying him to be elsewhere.
Is Mick McDermott gone from Cobh??
Would be bizarre. Reminds me of Marc Bircham being sacked days before the play off final in 2021
