Nonsense

i can promise you that . Drogs make europe ? HA HA . This is all just sour grapes from Dundalk fans because your board messed up and lost one of your best players

Is Daly that good that he will lead us to european qualification all on his own ?

Hes actually on 50000 a week, 10000 appearance money and 500 euro every time he touches the ball. Weve been rattled. Get over it.

I saw Peter Mahon and John Gill sitting in a deli the other day in malahide on my lunch break, they were trying to get a player to join them, no idea who he was (young lad mid 20`s), or why I`m posting this !

Ex-Hearts, good player, still a bit raw though. Currently injured and if I recall correctly will miss a fair chunk of 2010 season. Is he joining you guys? Would be surprised if true.

Time will tell, I just hope that Drogheda dont overspend like they did previously. The league has enough bad press which we dont need anymore. Daly is a good player however and I think it is a pity that our Board cocked up as I for one would love to see him back in a Dundalk jersey next year.

Maybe its my age Dodge, 30 yrs of watching LOI, I cant even recognise the younger players anymore !

Their lunch looked good though

Ps At least your club is actively looking for players.

Could this be Bisto Flood? Apparently his agent is Roddy Collins, really! He's being courted by a League 1 team, Cork and another Premier team in Ireland.

I say his agent is Roddy because Roddy was negotiating on his behalf in Malta (even after he left) and requesting a fee. I think it's legal somehow, just don't ask me how those UEFA rules work! He'd be a good signing for Pats, good for 15-20 goals next year I'd reckon.

**Doomofman** · 30/12/2009, 5:03 PM

Didn't Shels get him from us in the first place?

**The Lilywhites** · 30/12/2009, 5:05 PM

Nope, from us, but Shels won't be retaining him so he could end up anywhere - would be surprised if it was Pat's though after Gill sacked him from Dundalk.
