The subtleties of knowing what people are talking about appears to be a mystery to some Dundalk fans.
Let me explain.
If a player has never talked to Shamrock Rovers, it stands to reason that he was not tapped up by Shamrock Rovers as has previously been suggested on this forum and elsewhere.
Anything regarding Dundalk, is, in this as most other things, irrelevant.
Let's hope Scully gets in there after Gaffney asap.
Sorry, but most (if not all) LOI players have agents now and it is usually the agent that is first point of contact and consequentally it is the players agent a club would contact to "tap up" a player (ie see if the player was available).Therefore it is perfectly resonable that a club may attempt to "tap up" a player without ever talking to that player.
Other than that your explanation was very helpfull![]()

Gary Rogers and Conor Kenna officially signed up for next season, Great news
Here on a technicality.
*Adds PartySaint to my Ignore List*![]()
seriously? i think survival and consolidation should be our only ambition this season. maybe some sort of respectable cup run (league or fai, don't care), but ultimately all i want to see is derry staying in the premier division. anything else is completely unrealistic.
i believe in one man, one vote. i should be that one man with that one vote.
ALWAYS ON TOUR!
Well seeing as you were offering your players more money in the first than Dundalk could in the premier I've no doubt that your playing budget will dwarf most clubs next season. Fingal, Bohs and Galway are cutting back dramatically and UCD and Bray's budgets will be peanuts ours will be close to what it was last year so can't see why Derry won't at least compete for third.
