Strong rumours of Gary O'Neill leaving Rovers, with Cork city a possible destination for him.... Dunno how I feel about that tbh
No real surprise as his lack of game time must be frustrating him but unfortunately for him he’s been completely eclipsed by Healy - still a top player and I’d prefer if we could hold onto him for at least the rest of the season….. if not he goes with a big thank you as he’s been brilliant for us ….. I’ll never forget the calmness with which he slotted home the winning penalty in the 2019 cup final
Is he from Kerry? He would be a huge signing for them
Tralee born and bred - definitely seems to have been frozen out at Tallaght this season, but could still do a sterling job for any team, TBH.
Sell the Dudalk rebuild to him, if a Kerry or Cork could afford the cost then why not! I doubt the will be stuck for PD clubs.
A really, really good professional that could realistically slot back in to Rovers if injuries mounted up ,so I'd be loath to let him go.
As Calcio said,if he were to depart he'd go with the love and gratitude of every Rovers fan I know.
And could do a very tidy job for literally every other club in the country - he'd provide some backbone to pats, just as an example.
Patrick McClean joined Sligo Rovers
The single most under-rated player in the League for years. Backbone of the 4-in-row team who was integral to everything Rovers achieved.
As a 6 he was never going to get the plaudits of others in the team but he was consistently the best 6 in the country.
Healy a different player and a serious upgrade on GON as he is a playmaker too but to call GON over-rated is baffling.
I'd have had him as a back up to Chrish Sheilds level of player, so quite capable for any side and what is missing in many.
I'd have O'Neill at Pats in a heartbeat.
Word/rumour is that Duff ‘walked out’ from a Shels training session earlier today …. Anyone hear anything ?
Duff is gone according to John Fallon….

This is carrying attention-seeking to a ridiculous level. He’ll be back by tomorrow and they’ll be spinning it as a master stroke to wake up the underachieving players.
Yeah I got an alert from RTE on this about DD. Cant make him out these days. When things dont go his way he takes out on fellow players or mgrs. Look at way he argued with SB for instance his mentor. That row was so juvenile.
Plenty on here said he'd walk out 6 months into the job, myself included.
He lasted longer and won shels the league and deserves great praise for that. That's about all that needs to be said about the attention seeking little man.
linfield could well do a job on them when they meet -who's gonna take the job I wonder.
