Heresay comments/rumours etc. is what we entertain ourselves with here�. A decent journalist writing a two page article based on heresay/rumour is poor and tbh at the time I was amazed that his editor allowed it to be printed �. As for him having an interest in us great but as I said on this occasion I think he let his roots in Dundalk get the better of him�. But overall he does imo a good job on reporting matters related to the LOI

Its possible that at the time and with Bradser publicly commenting on stuff, that there was something to report - Rovers may since have gotten things spot on in creating a continuity and balance during transition. If Dundalk have a competative squad and are sitting in a European spot in 2024 all the reports of internal strife end of '23 seasom by journos and in the knows, with the passing of time, could look sensationalist or agenda driven bluster yet was on the mark at the time.

The narrative last year, especially highlighted during the European run was the Rovers squad needed rejuvenating, Honohan aside there hasn't much been done to freshen things to keep them strong for the next 3/4 seasons (Burns is a positive step but only on loan).

Rovers will probably win the league again, but it feels more like because like last year no side is getting themselves together for a proper challenge rather than them it being a vintage team

Every day is a great day to be a Rovers fan, but today is the best day of 2024 so far- Aaron Mceniff back where he belongs to hopefully (injury permitting) continue the great work he did dominating the league in tandem with Jack Byrne, whist Pico and his Cabo Verde mates storm through to the next round of the latest ACN tournament.
I'm not going to pretend I've bulletproof faith in Pohls in goal but aside from that I'm rather confident of 5inaRow, particularly if the noises being made by the Rovers group about a determination to avoid a repeat of the sluggish start seen last season come to pass. Catch us if you can.

4 in a row Bunny. It is a vintage team. The other narratives are long dead in the water and will be at the bottom of the ocean where they belong in years to come.

This is the one i was waiting for. I know he did not set the league on fire in terms of scoring but his link up play, skill on the ball, his ability to spin defenders is excellent. If he gets the games and some early goals for his confidence i think he could soar. Outside bet for Leagues Top Scorer if the stars align

Hope your right but a hatstand in the middle of the area would score as many goals for rovers by deflections as kenny did last season. We need Gaffney to stay fit. I'll cheer as loudly as anyone for kenny if he does well but I'm skeptical, hope we aren't paying celtic to much

Was disappointing tbh but I�d not judge any player to harshly considering the **** show we were last year�.

If we are interested in a player, put your money on the other club(s) listed in the article. Even if it is a defunct club.

General feeling the last couple of weeks seemed to be that he wanted to come back to us. Hopefully it comes true.

Rumours that we have have signed Lawrence Vigouroux on loan from Burnley.

Played with Waterford a few years back and was excellent, has been at Lincoln until he signed for Burnley in summer on a free
