He'll put in the odd half of effort - but it'll be whatever half Limerick are playing towards the chipper van.

There are few other clubs in the market that are able and willing to pay fees

its what i heard, this is a rumours thread. If UCD got 20k for him, fair play.

**Charlie Darwin** · 15/01/2011, 2:29 AM

20k sounds a bit much for a player who's going to start third in the pecking order behind Sheppard, who's a couple of years younger than him. I think 10k would be a high estimate.

hopefully someone from UCD can clarify.

Hard to look past Shams at this stage alright. Was really hoping we could have gotten Kilduff. Thought he would have fitted in perfectly into our team.

Ask Hoopy, he seems to know everything that happens in the Showgrounds, surely he knows what's happening in his own club too.

According to the "inside sources" even with our really quite generous under the table payments we still couldnt lure him to Sligo.
What more can we do??

Aside from pms, surely my post the other day saying that UCD would be better off if we win the league this season was a hint in itself?

Is this part of a Rovers masterplan? Sign a player from every other PD team giving them each a payout if Rovers win the league.

No probs with match postponements again this season for Rovers

2010 LEAGUE STATS
Karl Sheppard - 33 appearances 8 goals (1 in 4)
Ciaran Kilduff - 35 appearnces 16 goals (1 in 2)

emm interesting!
I suppose UCD didnt have any games televised last year...

Sounds like he's signing for Shams.

Yeah. We've such a poor side that we're gonna need to bribe our way to the league.

Likely to have the best squad by a remarkable distance. Should win the league in a canter.

But this type of deal leaves clubs open to a charge of a conflict of interest

Bohs should have done that this year with the squad they had.

So paying a fee plus extra depending on trophies/appearances is all new is it?

Bit far-fetched isn't it?

The transfer fee is 20 grand - I'd imagine the add-on isn't going to be much of an incentive to throw a game.

If you offer Bohs a bit of money for one of there players they will let yous beat them in every game for the next 10 years

Although you probably wouldn't have tho pay them off for that to happen

**Dodge** · 15/01/2011, 4:58 PM

Particularly when clubs usually get their own rewards for winning games (you know, like points and a better place in table, more fans, more money etc etc)

Still don't think for one second that when Rovers beat UCD I won't be on here saying its purekly down to UCD looking to help Rovers. Where's you financial fair play now pineapple stu!?!?!?
