Best of Luck to Michael McGrath. I thought he did well for us & am sorry to see him go.
Isn't there a Sligo section on this forum?
Oh and the poster who said about selling the drugs to kids, genius stuff :D best post i've seen on here in ages.
Could someone post the list of high earners that were released to balance the books?
P.S. Thanks for the money for McGrath, half decent player, only has about 60minutes in him for some reason, would be a good first division player.
Apparantly Keith Foy wasn't fat after all. He just had his shirt stuffed with money. He gave it to us in exchange for a salad.
Well so far Sean Doherty, Mauro Almedia and Shaun Holmes have been released - how high up the food chain they were I couldn't tell you.Quote:

Having said all that I'd be very surprised if we handed over any cash for McGrath - or any other player.
Eoin Doyle and Kendrick is quality!Ye will just about stay up now as FD would have occured without these signings.
We should be a different team from now on. If everything goes to plan, Horny and Raf will bang the goals in, watch Rommy second half of season too, back in a better position, behind the front two. Kendrick, and hopefully Marty will bring a bit of stability to the back four, Morrsion will hopefully pull the finger out too. I'm looking forward to seeing Doyle too, he's been quite good every time he's played against us.
The days of transfer fees between LoI clubs will be few and far between for the foreseeable future.Quote:

Stop pulling our chains guys.
You can't be seriously suggesting that Sligo paid a fee for McGrath.
Red Arrows display formation.Quote:

Ah well Sligo's loss.
you can't be seriously suggesting that leeson let someone go on a free.Quote:

Considering the two men we have running our club at the moment, I cant see us making signings we cant afford.
Oh and those pesky houswives have been sorted out.
