    Probably concentrating on getting to them other ways. For instance, isn't there something odd about them calling Bohs Gypos when Bohs have always been in Dalymount and Shams have been wandering around like a Sallins person in the floods.

    it amazes me here jow people wont have a bad word said bout ventre and ryan but raf is the worst in the world for bettering himself. fair enough he is a local lad and the people love him but its not that long ago he was pushed outta the club like a bad rash !!! he jumped at the chance to come back, then this season cook changes his role and also his mentality . if ya wanna blame someone for his head its cook to blame so !!!
    cook changed him from the blinkhorn role to an out and out striker playing on the defenders shoulder and his sole role was to score goals ! not chase defenders and win headers.
    he has the season of his life and gets his head turned. it happens the best of them. for all ye ventre worshippers if ye think that if danny had the season of his life at 28 and got the chance of going for a title he wouldnt take it, well then wake up!!!
    easy for most here to say its all about money well for anyone saying that all i can say is have ye mortgages to pay...... we are all disappointed to see him leave but he has been a model servant until now but continue to live in yer bubble and use your selective memory.
    be glad for a local lad to go on to a better club and a better life and before people jump down my throat shams are better, huge budget and fine stadium and a real chance of silverware and doing well in europe. i hate to see him leave but im not gonna turn on him now when he has been our best and most commited players for years

    Was browsing through via New Posts and saw this and mistook it for a thread on the current Liverpool manager being hired by the Shams. Presumably backed by a conglomeration of Bohs fans.

    Good player for ye, and a shame he's going to Dublin, but as posters here have said, it's a full time job for him, and the bills have to be paid. Who was he with before ye?
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    If you mean who was Raf with before he joined Rovers - he joined us from his local Sligo Junior Soccer club Real Tubber around about 2002 and has been with us ever since except for one season - 2005/2006ish - when he was with Galway United.

    Thats bang out of order bout him exagerating injury. Shame on u. He played countless times for us carrying knocks.

    Frankly, Raf was being ridden by Rovers as to wages vis a vis someone like Boco and it's not surprising that he leaves. However, how he will cope without being the big fish in the small pond is debatable and the second point is that if he has similar offers from Bohs and Shams, he should go to Bohs as Pat Fenlon is the better coach, Bohs play the better football and he will not totally alienate Sligo fans - which he will if he goes to LFL.

    Sadly I think he will go but we could still see him playing for the BOR next season - I think that rovers will up their offer and unless RAF wants glory he may stay as the 120 mile distance is a bit daunting although he did 70 regularly to galway!

    He should go to bohs if he does leave as he might agravate his cup final neck injury looking up at the ball flying past him for shams!

    If he's going to go I hope he goes to Bohs. I certainly won't give him a good reception if he turns up in a Shams jersey no matter how much service he's given us

    Ah grow up for god sake, played with knocks , thats what he is payed to do, gavin peers played the final with a cast on his arm, how many times has peers been carried off on a stretcher and came back on, thats the type of player i would concentrate on keeping. If he wants to go good bloody luck to him dean marshall will fill the void no problem. As for begrudgery you couldn't be further from the truth, going to a club where you only get paid 42 weeks of the year, no thanks.

    In a perfect world we'd all be able to stay where we like and do things we like and not worry about the finances but it doesn't work that way in real life.

    Maybe in the world of big bucks where a player is on say 80k and moves to a club to get 95k a week you could ask what difference will that money make to his lifestyle, where is the loyalty? but with Raf he's making a normal wage and an increase in money will make a big difference in his life.
    if you were playing for rovers and you were a higihly important player and you knew you could help the club achieve something soon, if you were the top scorer, the main man, the fans favourite, would you leave the club for extra money?

    if rovers offered ya 1000 a week and shams 1250 and ya have a mortgage to pay...... with 1250 ya could easily pay 3000 a month of your mortgage and live on 500 a week. average mortgage 1000 a month so he can be paying his mortgage three times as fast as if he had a normal 500 euro a week job. get a 2 year contract and possibly he can pay 73k off his mortgage !!! i know what i be doing in a recession considering he has 3 good years left. times like these ya gotta think about your future and your family !!!
