Amazing what a scuffed shot in the 120th minute of a cup final can do for your popularity at a club

Caulfield plays the media and judging by some of the posts on here it's worked.
He's in their heads which is exactly what he wants 😆

You do realise that this is a fans forum and the people who comment are not players or managers of opposing clubs?

So it makes no odds if Caulfields comments wind up a bunch of fans. There is no evidence whatsoever that his comments have ever gotten to rival managers or players, the reverse is probably true though...

Both him and Kenny Shiels have broadly the same approach to the media. Say stupid **** and when people give out and/or laugh, then locally try to frame it as "us vs them". The Healy-Rae approach.

Both Jim Corr and John Caulfield believe in the telekinetic powers - if rival supporters get wound up on the internet, victory will surely follow....

FORAS: "John, you've made yourself look a dope in the media again, how are we to deal with this?"

A very long pause...

JC: "Could we pretend I was playing mind games incredibly badly?"

The assembled audience look on in awe. He's done it again. High fives all round and the world continues to turn.

Mind games! I suppose our quietly spoken chairman was playing mind games too when he going on about signing Greek players or bringing in CSKA's bit players on trial... :D

Good signing, always been a fan of Davy now.
All seems a bit unnecessary really though, it's not like ye's aren't going to win the league anyway.

Looks like it worked.
Watching Kenny waving his arms about last night it looked like someone else was controlling him :p
Then again maybe he was just waving for a taxi or it could have been the fact that Buttimer was driving everyone crazy :)

You're right, Kenny is cracking up, just like last year and the year before that!

Thought Buttimer was OK.... for Buttimer! Probably could have dished out a few more cards

If Cork win the league, well done to them, but again it won't be because Caulfield has got into anyone's head.

Keith Cowan is out injured for the season. I'd imagine he could well be signed in the hope he recovers miraculously before the season end, he was featured at the league launch in those cardboard cutouts of the players in the new jersey. It's highly unlikely he'll play any part this year though, as he has an operation in a few weeks and around 6 months of recovery after that.

Josh Mailey is in college in England since September. Flew over and back for the last couple of games last season. Would imagine he'll join up in the summer.

really looking forward to seeing him in Tallaght with Harps, he will get a good reception.
Hope he gets fit and lights it up (except in Tallaght :) )

Might be wrong but, as he's unregistered, he can join at any point?
21/02/2017, 3:21 PM
nigel-harps1954

Yeah he can as far as I'm aware. He may well actually be registered too.

It'll be interesting to see how he gets on. He is a bit of a panic buy, but then again, so was Gartland for us a couple of years ago.

Ryan Swan signs for Exeter
21/02/2017, 9:49 PM
El-Pietro

Hes not a panic buy at all. We're not paying a penny for him, and we're only gettng him because his club wanted to send him here. John doesn't think hes ready for the first team but thinks he might have potential with full time training. Very good chance hes back in Lithuania by mid season, no chance he is anywhere near the first team for the first six weeks at minimum unless we get a blast of injuries/suspensions.

Don't know. Was excellent for the first half of 2015. But only scored 2 goals after Europe, and struggled for form last year too. Full-time training will help obviously, but it's not certain at all. That said, he has a chance of game time at Exeter I'd have thought, which has to be better than being in a development squad

It's amazing how people can jump to the wrong conclusion.

At least you have clarified that he is wojus and is likely to be sent back home by the time summer arrives
