Where are all those lads (you know who you are!!) that were exclaiming we had to stand by Butler last season - whilst letting other players go/shifting them on - even though they were also on contracts but could actually play for the club. Oh when Butler comes back he will be great - me b*(&^%$#.Quote:

For God's sake will ye think about that this Christmas if anyone is considering taking the car keys after a few drinks - don't do it.
Nice to see loyalty from the club and those fans who backed Chris (not I) repaid in spades - NOT.
1. The drink driving was never proved and no charges were brought.Quote:

If he has left, its a dirty fu**in act and probably tells us more about how bad he himself thinks his injury actually is, then what we are hearing, if he was fully fit and though he could last a season he would take a pay-per-play contract.
I can't set up a new thread on this as i am only a new member, but I don't see any body talking about approaching local players from the Sligo/Leitrim, Mayo league, Donegal league and more players from the Sligo IT team. Is there anyone from the club looking for local talent that could help boost the squad at low cost.
Are you for real? The club hardly relies on how bad or good "HE HIMSELF THINKS HIS INJURY IS"Quote:

If he turned that offer down, it's because he see's the gravy train pulling out:(
In fairness to Butler, he has a young son in England and only get's to see him every couple of months. It's not as easy as "he just fecked off back to England the ungrateful ****".
Bare that in mind when going off calling him for all the ***** in the world
Gary McCabe confirmed signing as of about an hour ago. Hope he does well for you, very decent and tricky player on form.
Cheers for confirming it Roo. As with every new player, I hope he does well, always stood out head and shoulders above the rest for Bray this season, and looked decent since getting first team action with Bray. Is their any link where it has been confirmed ?Quote:

Thanks CF for saving the poor guy more abuseQuote:

Feel sorry for him as the club have put him in an awful position. Assuming what has been said is true of course.
So you think the club were right in offering him that contract?:confused:Quote:

He can't question Rovers over whether they want him or not after all of that. It's up to him to prove if he's good enough and/or fit enough thenQuote:

. he should be offered a monthly contract and he should be happy to take it. the club stood by him all last year and took a chance on him, now its time for him to take a chance with a part time contract with us. if he believes in his abilities and thinks he is back to his best he should have no problem accepting a monthy contract !!!
Ciaran Martyn rumoured to be a possible signing.
The way the FAI contracts are, there is no such thing as a month to month or a pay as you play I believe. From what Im told Chris's professional registration was cancelled at the end of season 08 but he remained employed by the Club at a good wage during the close season and last season. He was not fit at the last window so was not registered but the Club remained loyal. He was made an offer for this year on a similar basis but refused it on the basis that he wanted a full pro highly paid contract. Don't think the Club were prepared to take a chance until he proved his fitness.
We're ejits but we're not complete ******es altogether. Get realQuote:

A.Dolan, you wouldn't listen to me when I warned you about Fingal in the final so you'll hardly listen to me now but for what it's worth, if we sign Dan Murray, the team that finishes above us will win the league.Quote:

Murray and Peers centre of defence? There won't be a goal conceded all season as long as Pat Jennings isn't in goals.
gunther goswallop has being mentioned again. cook is bringing him over in the new year. i was probably premature with my anticipation of him making an apperance last season. but from my very good source there is no doubt that he will be with the rovers next season. he scored 45 goals for harrow town in the diamond blue north league last season and he can fairly wallop the ball !
Brush has re-signed.
Class news.
just got news that "brushie "signed. delighted to hear. we are putting some nice pieces of the jigsaw puzzle in place.
Brilliant news. I'm liking the look of the team. Being linked with Murphy, I wonder does this mean Butler may not be here next season, or just as cover even ?
Great news on Brushie signing again for next season. Being linked with Danny Murphy and Dan Murray isn't bad either, they're both quality! Murray scores a few goals too!
Murphy is ok but think he is suspended for first 7 games , Murray is class , don't know much about harris but apparently Cork players were left high and dry for wages again 2 days before Xmas so expect a big exodus from there , thought it was a **** take at first but apparently Shoddy is appointed as Cork new boss god help them.Quote:

Good midfielder. Not sure where he'll fit in with Turner, COG and Edison Arantes do Nascimento already marshaling the centre of midfield unless Cook sees him as winger.
McGowan is a defender ?Quote:
