O'Brien Whitmarsh and Jordan Adeyemo, both coincidentally were last with Longford, are now without a club it seems.
Two lads who are prolific on their day but possibly bad characters?

I was thinking about it, as pretty sure we came 2nd (miles behind that season of your last 4 in a row), it was ! We won the double the following season.Quote:

Think Bohs you are mixing up this season?

The Jesuits ‘claimed’ that the Kilcoynes told them they only wanted to purchase the lease on Milltown so that they could re-developed it as a football stadium; therefore they sold the lease to them for £100k rather than what they could of got selling it for housing development.Quote:

Sporting grounds throughout the country in religious hands more often than not have a clause restricting them to only sporting use if sold - plus the Jesuits like to think of themselves as the high priests of intellectualism within the C/Church ( I.e the most cunning of b*stards) so they were as complicit as the Kilcoynes
I sometimes think of a huge lost generation of LOI supporters that never got to Milltown. Only been 5 or 6 times myself, all around 82/83, 83/84 and 85/86 seasons I think, never saw a Dundalk win, and one hammering too when we had 3 sent off. Also went to watch the Irish Olympic side under McLaughlin as a teacher in our school was friends with him. I remember games v Hungary, possibly Sweden or Spain also, maybe France, easy group !!!!
What a ground it was though, it had the markings a smaller English league ground of its time, great experience going, even if no joy on DFC wins. Memories of one cold winter game on a Sunday, got the train down, met family members in the city, and somehow got myself back to Connolly for the journey home, no mobile phones, great days.
Think he’s on about playersQuote:

When the season does kick off I really hope Rovers dont go all Gah with 'Drive for 5' stuff, the prospect of 5 in row is bad enough without copying that lot. Its also why the Maguire season rankles a bit still with that record missed out on 'cause of the incredible form of one (former Dundalk ;)) player.Quote:

We are linked to Luke Turner from Cliftonville. I wonder is this due to an issue with Grivosti.Quote:

An article in the Belfast telegraph says Pats are battling with Bohs for his signature.Quote:

He'd be pretty much a guaranteed starter at Bohs. If he ends up at Pat's there may be some credence to the Bohs not having a massive playing budget talk.Quote:

Can't imagine Pats signed Keeley with the idea of him being a back-up though, could see us using a back 3/5 quite a bit this season if this ended up happening.
80k for a player that's out of contract in 5/6 months? Sounds a bit farfetched to me.
I hope Lonergan is'nt sold to balance the books , i think there's a lot more to come from him this seasonQuote:

You're probably right, it was just a number I'd seen a couple of Bohs fans throw around but who knows. Either way I can't imagine it'll be an insignificant number for a side in this league given how highly-rated he is and Cliftonville being in contention for the league.Quote:

Could be nothing but found it strange.Quote:

Turner to Pats is confirmed now. The money on the trip to Glasgow might’ve been better spent elsewhere for bohs
Just seeing now Odumosu's loan to Cliftonville has been made permanent as part of the deal. A big bargaining chip in Pat’s favour that was in fairness
