He did go from us straight to Dundalk, yeah?
Decent player for Sligo alright. Lots of bustle and energy. And even a bit of skill. And a nice guy to boot.
Edit - google says he signed for Dundalk from Bohs. So he must have left us to go to Bohs. Don't remember that at all!
We should have most of our business done by the end of next week.

After a season at Bohs, he was signed back to Dundalk and has spent two injury ravaged seasons here.
I really hope it woks out for him at Sligo. A great lad and a lovely player.
Handy little guide here from our website-Quote:

In that act of thoughtfulness alone Wardy demonstrated the sort of person he is. Fantastic generosity in giving his medal to a young man who was ecstatic with joy.Quote:

All the best to Shep. A class act all-round whose second spell at Rovers just never took off. The replay in Dundalk showed just what he's capable of when it clicks. Hopefully Nutsy has a good replacement already identified. I hear Denis Behan is free on Fridays.

Wasn't aware of that about Ward - that's an act of pure class from him, a lovely gesture
Shane O'Connor highly likely to be returning to City.
Announced last night that Ian Bermingham has re-signed for us for next season. Great news to get just before a cup final, he's by a distance the best left back in the league.
didn't think much of him when he was last with usQuote:

Silly thing to say. There's plenty of players who didn't have it work out for them in England who came back to have very successful Loi careers.Quote:

It's completely understandable why he struggled the first time with us, it's very tough on lads coming back from England after things don't work out and it can take different players different amounts of time to adjust, some players never play again after they come back. Hopefully he'll come in a do well with us, JC is the right man to help get him motivated and playing to his potential.Quote:

I don't think Caufield has to get his head right because it looked to me like Russell had done a good job of that already.
Shocked that anyone could watch him with us and say he didn't do well he did very well anytime he played and his attitude was spot on was one of the first people I wanted re-signed.
Ipswich let Colin Healy go at the same time. Apparently he's done alright since.Quote:
