Boyd broke into Shamrock Rovers first team with a big impact in 2016 coinciding at same time Duff joined the Rovers coaching staff so it's not a surprise Duff has signed him
Sean Boyd has had shocking luck with injuries but he seems to have got himself fit at Harps and could have a great season at Shels
Sean Boyd is a top lad, and a very decent footballer. One thing he lacks is pace. But can easily manage 8-10 goals a season. He deserves a decent shot after a miserable couple of years.
Jack Moylan apparently jumping from Bohs to Shels
Strange one that. I thought Bohs would have liked to have kept him. Saw him for Wexford and he was a class above. Could do well with Shels.Quote:

Shels have an ok budget i reckon or Duff wouldnt have taken the reins but will need to Pad out the squad with young pros in the same way Pats and Bohs do.
Has Stephen O'Donnell been offered a contract at St. Pats? His contract runs out this year. Supposed to Dundalks number one target. It seem crazy that St. Pats have not sorted out this way beofre the season finished.
Is he technically out of job today, with no contract sorted ?
When I first heard about the interest last week, I assumed he was under contract, seems he isn't as per below link? Not sure does this still mean Dundalk will have to pay compensation as it could only take Pats to offer more that his current contract, then that might kick in, then again he does need to agree to leave and join Dundalk first, but it would appear something is happening.Quote:

I think you're using the U23 player compensation rules there but it would be different for a manager. If he's out of contract he can go anywhere, whether Pat's offer him a new one or not, if he doesn't sign it, he's not committed to it.
It seems like a very strange position that Pats got themselves into by not sorting this out months ago.
To be fair to Pats everyone is assuming that Pats didn't offer him a new contract to sign.
I would say its more likely that given how unexpectedly well Pats have done this year and that it has been obvious for months Pats would finish at least 2nd that there is a contract there and SOD has been sitting on it to see what options he has at seasons end.
I wouldn't hold that against him either there is little loyalty in football in either direction.
Heard earlier that reason why Bohs Anto Breslin didnt play in cup final yesterday is that Keith Long didnt want him for next season. I was very surprised by his omision. Wonder who he will go to now?
Supposed to be going to Pats according to a report in the Indo a couple of weeks ago.
Got that the wrong way round Martinho , 007 didn't play him because he is leaving to join Pats by his own choice.
Poor man management imo , Dundalk played Sean Hoare against Rovers even though it was mooted he was leaving to join us and he scored in the final.
Players have to look after themselves in a short career in a low paying league like ours.
Not playing them because they are going elsewhere is just chopping off your nose to spite your face
