Dont know what happened to Forrestor after his early promise in the UK, but he hasn't looked the same player since he's come back to Pats. One quality goal against Sligo is it really. Still, we need to persist with him I think.

Not sure why anyone has a problem with this player making this move to make some money. I've quit jobs to go elsewhere for many reasons, including money and family. If someone were to offer treble my wages to go work in the middle of nowhere, I wouldn't think twice either and I certainly wouldn't give a toss what anyone on here thought about me doing so.
I assume if they though he was good enough other championship clubs would have come in for him .
Football is pretty much a meritocracy . If clubs think you can add value at a price they can afford you they will probably sign you . Sometimes they even do it a price they cannot afford with bad end results .
If you were an alien from outer space and happened to be really good at football and could pass for human or football authorities standards / acceptance then most clubs would sign you if they thought you would improve their team .
Relax. I was just pointing out that he’s been criticized by a lot of folks - message boarders and journalists - for the move. Balanced enough on here as usual. I won’t speak for Colbert but I read his post as a general observation about the reaction to the move and the motives as opposed to singling out specific foot.ie posters.
Apologies, Ole Ole. I wasn't looking to stir up trouble. I was indeed just making a general observation about the seemingly overwhelming negative reaction whenever a standout LOI player doesn't make the grade and drops down a few divisions to make a decent living before his body gives out. The more I've watched football over the years the more I've come to realize that at the top level, it is more about luck and avoiding major injuries than anything else.
Sounds like he's coming back to Ireland to play for Shamrock Rovers at the end of the English season.
