You're dead right. Scumbag.Quote:

He may not have the ability or natural talent of Turner but I'd sooner finish mid-table with squad players who want to represent our club than someone like Turner who's gonna walk at the sign of a slightly better offer.
Seanie C might arm wrestle you on that one!!!Quote:

well if he plays for Shams then surely it would be a case of them fielding an ineligible player (unless i took your post up incorrectly) and thus the FAI needing to deduct points (or whatever)? Has the FAI registered his Rovers or Shams contract?
My take: any court in the land would say that Rovers have a legally binding contract with Turner. It doesnt matter if the contract was the template used last year. The court would only look as to whether there was an agreement between Sligo and Turner. There certainly was. There is technically not even a need to reduce the terms to writing. The least Rovers can expect, if this is pursued through the courts, is that Shams will have to buy out his contract.
Thats more or less my thinking on this aswell, we'll have to be getting something out of this. Far as I know he hasn't been registered for either club.Quote:

michael o'neill and turner a disgrace to irish football. We dont want our game brought down to the level of present day politics. Pat fenlon is an example of how business should be transacted and will be always welcome at the showgroundsQuote:

That feckin' echo is back.
Looking forward to seeing Turner lining out for Shams.
Lets hope that his unsavoury past exploits and headline grabbing stories wont be dragged up in retribution for a turncoat mercenary, heaven forbid.
What the story with this now? With season starting in a week will we see Turner playing against us next saturday? I know he's not our player now but will we get compo etc. Any up dates?
I wonder if the FAI are deliberately leaving judgement on this 'til after next weeks round of fixtures.
The dust will then have settled on the whole thing before the teams meet again.
If Turner is a Sligo Rovers player, which appear to be the case, then surely hes our for the next few months. Even an aggreement with shams now would be too late as the transfer window is Closed.
I think to have him back now would do a lot more harm than good, if that's what you're suggesting kk?Quote:

Not suggesting that at all.Quote:

i see where youre coming from kk but i think that it will go down like this - there are two valid contracts in force both signed prior to transfer deadline. He has breached one contract so you would either look for him to honour his contract or Shams would pay compensation for the breach of contract which would in effect nullify his contract with Rovers leaving Shams free to register his contract with them.Quote:

We all know that when push comes to shove on this issue that the FAI will side with shams and we will probably get a token payment and be told to FO and that we are lucky to be even playing in the Irish Leinster league!
Today's Mirror says the hearing is on Tuesday..nice that they have left it until after tonight!
Is Chris Turner the LOI's answer to Ashley Cole/John Terry, maybe thats what Nathan is hinting at!!!!!!!! Has this something to do with his change of "Heart" over moving to Sligo.
any word on this and when a decision will be made re judas

Anybody know when we find out how much we have to pay Shams for taking this wnaker off our hands?
Think we could be in serious trouble over this. Big fine and we could be relegated!! Mightn't have been too bad only for the fact we didnt let them win last saturday night.:pQuote:

I just hope the FAI is lenient with us for daring to question "the model club".
Verdict expected today.

Hopefully we get well compensated
Dispute Resolution Chamber
Did the FAI pass the buck, were smart enough to keep out of it or were they just not high enough up the ladder to make a decision on it.

Turner’s future is in limbo at the moment as Sligo Rovers objected to the legality of his move from the Showgrounds to Shamrock Rovers at the end of last season.
Last night representatives of both clubs met with the DRC, who listened to both parties’ arguments for over three-and-a-half hours yesterday evening.
The former Northern Ireland under-21 international will be eager to put an end to the dispute and get on with his career as soon as possible.
That comment is incorrect on so many levels - he didn't MOVE from Showgies to Shams at the end of last season.
looks like no decision expected on the turner situation today

anything today? decision? rumour?
are we expecting some DRC-flavoured fudge?
