Gerry Malone just tweeted that it’s not true having started the rumour in the first place!

That would be a great signing, surprising he'd be back here though given he has a good reputation in the EFL. Also saw that the story was broken by Gerry Malone, who has also recently confirmed Shepperd and Malley was staying, the latter after Sligo had already announced he'd signed, so would be a bit sceptical all the same.
Gerry has actually backtracked on saying he signed. My fault for believing anything he says to be fair
That lad would be on mad money compared to this level. The way loans work now it all depends on how much wages the club can cover, mad how that rumour even got off the ground.
People drop names when Gerry is in earshot just to see if it gains traction. Some ludicrous signings rumours have been nipped in the bud but a few have crept through. This was a good one as it was highly unlikely but not impossible either on a short term loan and maybe the chap wanted some game time before a move to a numbe 1 slot. As for Malley, I reckon that could have been a surprise even for some at the club never mind ITK's, the indifferent opinion of him by fans meant there was little fuss over not making sure he re-signed. I still think there is a very good player there, just laked some work ethic which could have been worked on. Other times with GM it's wishful thinking and a dose of fomo on the big news so jumps the gun. There was a time that news of signings were around the town as a player was picking up a pen to sign, I was once in Oriel as a player was in the board room signing and got a text message from someone to let us know the latest, was impressive!, its not like that any more. Until it appears on the club website its nothing more than part of a wild rumour mill. Conor McGregor buying the club was my favourite in recent times although in the wild world of Dundalk FC....

Derry have turned down a bid for Brian Maher from a league 1 club

Padraig Amond finally coming back to the LOI, to sign for Waterford, According to John Fallon on Twitter
5 goals in the English conference this season. 36 in April. Will it turn out another Daryl Murphy type signing?

Yeah would have been a good signing a couple of years ago, I'd be skeptical now. You'd assume he's not coming back mid season for peanuts either.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Possibly last Sept, Derry came to Oriel Pk, won 3-1, but any Derry fan that was there will agree, the display by Maher was just unreal. He kept out 2 maybe 3 what looked like certain goals, as Dundalk should have been out of sight at HT. It was a brilliant display, possibly one of the best I've seen domestically in the league by a GK.
He is some talent and can't see him saying in LOI.
As for Gerry M, local journo, ah poor chap, he's prob getting on a bit, seems to take all onboard that people feed him, just couldn't help himself on Lawrence Vigouroux, had to go with 'signed' when he should have just said 'linked' or 'riumours', to go with 'He's def signed' is just nuts.
I knew immediately it was a non runner, this guy prob on 10k a week!
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
From Carlow I think so maybe planned to move home at end of career anyway.
While I’d always be wary of signing older players Waterford literally have nothing up front so had to do something. Would be wary of how long a contract he is getting, 2year prob ok if helps them stay up this year
Noel Hunt scored 3 league goals in 7 starts during his brief return to Waterford in 2018 at the age of 36 before retirement but otherwise going by the likes of Daryl Murphy and Eoin Doyle recently signing out of form returning strikers in mid-30s coming home from the UK is most likely going to be a waste of wages especially if they are not doing much at the bottom of the National League as it is
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
As above, I think Podge's window to come back here and make an impact has closed but it's good to see him coming home regardless. Always comes across well. Some career he's had.
Well worth a punt by Waterford,scored goals at a decent level for a long time,there’s very few decent strikers about …..

Do anyone know if former Shelbourne and Dundalk goalkeeper is involved with Watty Grahams? I am probably mistaken, but one of their coaches/staff looked a lot like him viewing from the stand. I see B. Maher mentioned above, but goalkeeping is an area where the league of Ireland could improve a lot, because it is a specialised skill/position the argument that we need big spending on facilities to improve is not as valid.
Is that Steve Williams? I think Willo has been involved in a GAA coaching capacity of some sort so probably it was him

I did ready today some of the Louth coaching staff were involved so must be him, he's also a GK coach for a WNL team, think it's Shels?
BetweenTheStripes.net - Home of Between the Stripes LOI podcast.
Yeh he was on the Watty Graham's coaching staff. He's also Louth GAA goalkeeping coach this year and was also their last year aswell
Willo has his own Goalkeepers coaching 'school', so could crop up coaching at any club He was coaching Louth GAA keepers though not sure if he has stayed on with the change in that management team. Coached at Dundalk under Stephen Kenny, did sessions at DkIT, few non league and local GAA clubs but more individual sesions rather than a main coach, freelancing if there s such a thing in coaching - as mentioned Shels WSL probably contracted, and Watty GFC. Used to be a bunch of these showcase vids - Conor Winn is one of his alumni who I know is highly rated by some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD9UeT9YJkQ
