Transfer rumours

[Stevo Da Gull]

Today's Star has an interview with Jason Byrne who says he is going back to part time football next season. Wonder who he will be with, says he will find it hard, esp been a full timer the past 8 years.

I know somewhere by the seaside where he'd be welcomed with open arms..

[Dillonman]

I'd be very surprised if he had a contract for next year. He's under 23 though so we should be due some compensation.

Does that rule not only apply to players going overseas to bigger clubs? Im not familiar with it at all.

TWO bars.

Small correction Dundalk have 3 bars now - Lilywhite Lounge, Enda McGuill suite and the new bar in the Youth Development Centre.

I was in the new bar & function room in the YDC during the badminton tournament and it looks great. Already has a large number of bookings for 21st parties, etc. so hopefully will add to the revenue streams at Oriel.

Also there was a rumour going around Jedward are lined up for a concert in the YDC. Laughed when I heard that one :p

Feck the concert,sign the feckers up and stick them at centre half.

Come back Jayooo!!! He's been around an awful lot lately with the 25th anniversary etc. Lets hope he's interested in coming back. I was surprised to here he's spent the longest spell of his career at Bray. Lets hope he has a second and equally as successful spell back here!

See earlier in the thread. Under 23 and with a club on pro/semi-pro terms for two seasons or more means compensation is due when a player moves, as happened when we sold Darren Quigley, Conor Sammon, Pat Sullivan, Robbie Martin and Alan Cawley to other clubs within the league. This is all provided the club has indicated they want to retain the player (i.e. you can't release someone on a free and then demand compensation).

Can't see us signing him if there is compensation due. Unless UCD would settle to a couple of dozen tickets to Jedward?

[pineapple stu]

I think Jedward were lined up for the UCD Ball this year. They withdrew after rumours of imminent egg peltings surfaced. So that's probably a no, thanks.

I've seen enough of pre-seasons to know that anyone can leave, to be honest. I'm only presuming (and hoping!) that that rule - which has benefitted us before - is still in place, and that we have our side of things in order.

What if he retires?

[Jicked]

A pretty desperate "come and get me" plea from Fenlon to Rovers.



Think one of the other lads is that 3 foot linesman who disallowed Bray's goal.

[marinobohs]

according to this Evenings herald Connor Powell could be on his way to Reading

Is he a left back if so, than cant see that happening as they signed Ian Harte who has scored quite a few goals fro them so far.

Yea, left back with Ireland U21 team. was over with Wolves but had very poor end of season at Bohs.

[total hoofball]

Played with us then signed for Athlone, didn't feature much for either team. Fancy footwork, no end product.

He's with Cherry Orchard now. Was with Coventry before returning home to play with Bohs then on to Sligo, journeyman already.

[Jicked]

Didn't Powell have a big bust-up with Fenlon during the season though? Perhaps explaining his end of season form to some extent

You crazy students!!!

Only lasted 4 (I think) games with us before falling foul of the ATFC revolving door

Yep Jicked (belated congrats by the way) there was a bust up mid season but after getting back in the team he played some of his best games for the club so dip in form at the end of season was unlikely to be connected to the earlier bust up.
When he is good looks a top class player but on other days looks like a school boy lost
