Declan 'Fabio' O'Brien On Way Out of Dundalk

[Dodge]

As above its probably a registration thing rather than a contract thing

[Schumi]

What happens if a player's contract is cancelled by mutual consent; can he move outside the window then?

Presumably not or anyone who wanted to transfer could do that and the window would be meaningless.

[Rory H]

This is stage one I think. Next one is another bust-up, with more of a fan favourite and then alienate himself from the fans

[showgies]

This is beginning to look familiar..........

O'Brien is playing the Cretaro part .............who'll be the Gerry Carr of Dundalk.........

Don't forget Ciaran Foley

Apparently Connor's got his bestest best mate Steve Bruce in to have a nice heart to heart chat with Fabio over a nice cup of tea and some Hob Nobs

[Dalymountrower]

The nucleus of a half decent team of those that have failed to embrace the Connor way

Owen Heary
Stephen Rice
Fabio
Cretaro
Kevin Hunt
and ...err... Dessie Byrne

[Red&White Rover]

Connor? Bust up?

I refuse to believe it.

[Dundalkjames]

Fabio was unhappy about been subbed vs galway at ht he said it was the first time in his career that he was subbed at hf. He was named on the bench Vs Cork but ended up sitting in the stand

[pól-dcfc]

Why is Fabio called Fabio? Never been able to work it out.

[Dundalkjames]

played for a team in dublin called verona hence the italian name fabio

[Jersey Cow]

More bull from dalymountrower....

Owen Heary--liar who got his mate Fenlon in to Dalyer
Stephen Rice ---clown with nothing in between his lugs!
Fabio----time will tell
Cretaro---average player
Kevin Hunt----top player who was disgracefully treated by Fenlon the year after Connor said his legs were finished
and ...err... Dessie Byrne----poor Dessie!

Evenin' Sean. How are the disco pants?

[Réiteoir]

Judging by that post - they're cutting off the circulation to his brain

Do you actually have a fcukin clue at what you're talking about?

[pineapple stu]

Just do a search of his previous posts to find the answer to that one...

True. Though that does open it up a lot to some sort of EU anti-freedom of work challenge.

taht and he went on some sun hol with a lovely tan and his mates called him fabio as a result.

Not as I was told by someone who was involved with Verona at the time...turned up with his hair dyed and was nick named Fabio after the bored American housewife's favourite Fabio Lanzoni.

The actual reason, from an interview in the Dundalk FC programme, is that he had Italian relations on his mother's side of the family and his childhood friends called him that as a joke.

[LeixlipRed]

There seems to be a lot of actual reasons.
