Cheers Daisy. All the best.
Would have sooner seen him join a club in the Premier.
Thank you for everything Damien.
Very surprised, definately thought Daisy would be a premier player next season
Best of luck to him
me too, id rather have seen him in the Premier. Too good for Shels he is.
Sorry about this folks, but it says a lot about all of the turmoil of this season when Daisy has signed for Shelbourne, a rival next season. I am disappointed Daisy chose Shelbourne.
Looks like shelbourne are going to have a tilt at next season.
Can Shels afford all this though? Daisy could surely walk into a Premier team. The first of many departures im sure.
Tend to agree.Quote:

Although, its interesting that he said in an interview last week that the players agreed to put off talk of transfers til after the cup final. So I presume he heard from Dermot Keely for the first time this morning and they sorted out personal terms etc in just a couple of hours?
i am stunned by the news. i can understand keely goin for him as he played for him at dublin city. I thought daisy would have went to a top flight team but the news he goes to shels takes the biscuit. im afraid every player for themselves ignore all the paper talk...:(
see alan murphy has being let go by shels along with jim crawford! will murph come back and crawford finally join us if matthews stays?
Got a phonecall from a former player last night who is just dying to come back if he is asked :p
Isn't that a very big if Marty? Thought he was going for sure?:confused:Quote:

Can't believe Brennan hasn't gone to a Premier side. He was class against us in the cup semi. Shels seem to be going with a smaller squad this season so they can still pay more than the average First Division wage to attract better players.
brennan was probably ye're best player yesterday, no nonsense defending from him, but from what i have seen as a neutral this season and ive seen him 7 or 8 times is that he's not the best, IMO he wouldnt get into the top 7 teams defences anyway from last season. but having said that he was brilliant yesterday, and shels is a big step down from longford for him at this moment in time!
Got it right! I had told you anyways I think....Quote:

37 next July according to wikipedia.
If the wages were reasonable he might be a useful playmaker in the Dwight Yorke role. Goalscoring days are behind him and he's not gonna have too many 90-minutes games in him, but beside Deego ;) next season he may have something to offer.
His goalscoring days were over about 2 seasons before he left. He and Alan dont get on and thats down to Eric in my opinion.
I dont think he would really be any addition
Eric will always be welcome back to the Flansiro. How many times did the man hit the onion bag for us? Who'll ever forget his goal up in Ballybofey that night?!
Is Deego staying with us next season? I'd love to see Shay Kelly stay on too.
Haven't heard, just wishful thinking on my part.Quote:

That was Ballybofey, if we are trying to rebuild a squad then you have to be looking for guys who can do all that he used to do now
You tell me the average First Division wage and I'll tell you if you're right or wrong ;)Quote:

Fair points, but why did you bring him up in the first place?Quote:

If you think he would be an addition, fair enough. I just gave my opinion on it
Not quite the case Marty. It's ultimately down to the assurances he receives. We'll know more towards the end of the week. I think if he stays, we'll have a great chance, as he'll be able to convince players to stay and attract the right ones in. (thanks for your help yesterday, BTW!)Quote:

its a load of cr@p that the players havent been speaking to other clubs. Dessie to shams, Doherty to bray and now damien to shels. For goodness sake was he not better off or at least the same stayin with us as with shels. Think its disgraceful he has essentially goine to a rival and to a club with less money then us:( Very disappointed after all the good feeling about him and the team and he does this, Expect the rest to follow captains example:(
Are the lads all out of contract?
It's a bit early to be jumping to conclusions about who has more money than us.
tbh, this is all a symptom of the timing of the Cup final rather than an issue of player commitment. What are they supposed do, wait and take a chance to see whether other clubs have signed people for their positions? We don't know who the manager will be, the financial situation is still crap, they've gone down because of the administration side, who can blame the players for sorting themselves out?
The reality of the league of Ireland situation is that talks have been going on for months amongst players and clubs across the league - it's tap up central. Transfers are not sorted just since the end of the season.
