Is another injury prone player really what Sligo need? The likes of Power has barely kicked a ball as most people expected would happen..
Hopefully they can time their injuries so only one of them is out at a time
Dundalk have turned down a ‘bid’ from Motherwell for Archie Davies. Even calling it a bid is being kind, it was reportedly no upfront fee and all, instead just adding small performances based incentives for the club. Motherwell have previous for showing zero respect to this league, offering Pats €5k for Greg Bolger towards the end of his time at the club. Would’ve thought getting beaten home and away in Europe by a mid table Sligo side would’ve humbled them but seemingly not

He's a lovely player. I think he can do better than that basket case that is Motherwell. He'll easily land a contract in an L1 or 2 club in the winter window.Quote:

Delighted for him that he's back at it. He's had a horrendous few years.
Apparently Mallon was misdiagnosed with pevious injury so missed a lot more time because that. Supposed to be fine now so we'll see how he does.Quote:

Looking at the fixture list, Pats away to Dundalk on 23/08, BG lives 5 min walk from Oriel, and SK lives in Blackrock LH, a home game for the 2 boys !
BG is nice fella, did so much for Dundalk, best of luck to him. Funny all the same the two of them living local.
Tunmise Sobowale signed for Swindon Town,left Shrewsbury at the end of the season....
Stephen Healy loan with Kerry FC cut short and he has been sent back to Galway.
You'd wonder who the real manager is at Kerry though and this audio from Radio Kerry attached below only rises suspicion.
James Sugrue saying to the press that "I'm releasing Stephen" and that "I had a chat with John [Caulfield]". There isn't an assistant manager around that speaks like that.
James Sugrue seems to do 90% of the media and Conor McCarthy is only rolled out when they get a positive result. Sugrue is far more vocal in the Kerry dugout also.
Assuming this is a badges thing?

Ollie maintained that he's doing a huge chunk of what needs doing at Galway. Look at Bohs and others...its becoming a managerial team thing more than everQuote:

I think you're stretching it by applying it to First Division clubs, lads.
Just from my own experience of viewing them it would appear that Sugrue has the reins.
Stephen Henderson is the new Cobh Wanderers manager.
Are they a MSL side Shearer?Quote:

Bit of an odd one, I can’t imagine many LOI managers would be too keen on another league clubs manager having a direct relationship with their players either (only rovers have players in the most recent squad but the last few years there’s been players from loads of clubs)

It's a terrible look for Reynolds and whoever at Bohs agreed to him still being allowed to double job too. I'm still willing to see what he can do with his own signings but he badly needs to get some positive results and avoidable situations like this won't help his cause especially if things don't improve.Quote:

Huge for me would be say a transfer coup within LoI eg Jack Byrne transferring to Shels....and suddenly is super fit and no longer made of glass!Quote:

He eats what he wants !Quote:

Cameron McJannet departing Derry for Grimsby in the summer window ….
Disappointing, but he'd English and his contract is up at the end of the season, so understandable. Didn't actually think he'd stay for this long. He was a great signing.Quote:

Dan McDonnell reporting that there was a 75k release fee in his contract that Aberdeen have triggered. 5 months after Damien Duff stated that no player at Shelbourne has a release clause lolQuote:

You’re probably right, Ali Coote and Harry Wood seem to be the latest rumours to be heading to shelsQuote:

Weird one that he went to the States instead of just signing with Shels at the start of the season.
Maybe an attempt to carve out a career at the top end of the US game didnt work out? Or he got homesick...
Seems to have been starting every week over there. Presumably wanted to be closer to home.Quote:

Still something has been badly handled on Shels end that release clause is stupidly low with a contract expiring end of 2025, we have now lost a young player who has a big part of our ascent back to Europe and to the top of table who has a potential high ceiling in the SPFL with Aberdeen based on his rapid progression at Shels after being let go by Bohs without getting near their first team
