Don't know what the cult references are all about but it does seem like i've hit a nerve.
Again as I said previously no problem with a guy with a young family getting the best deal for himself.
Guaranteed wages should be a given in any walk of life, no matter who is guaranteeing them.

Not to mention Dan Murray and Colin Healy at the start of this season. (God help us).

Dan Murray had a poor year and is probably finished but Healy proved this year what a class act he is.
Injured for a bit but still one of the top players in the league.
I'll take your word on the outbidding bit.
Does the fact you only put capital letters after the Vinny & Derek bit mean we didn't outbid you for Murray and Healy?

Oh well if he's that vital you should defniitely keep him. "CLASS ACT"

I don't know what Limericks budget is.
I don't know what Cork Citys budget is.
Nor do I care.
Interesting that you know Tommy has spent his money on rubbish, have you seen many City games this or last season?

I have never cribbed about Limerick and am delighted you got promotion, looking forward to a few derbies next season.

I'd be surprised if he wasn't being lined up, especially as he's a local boy and ex-player. The fact Kenny didn't sign him when he was obviously already on Derry's radar when he left is baffling, but then again so is everything else he did.

Story in the sun that Limerick after Evan McMillan, Keith Ward, Derek Pender and Dave Mulcahy any Bohs fans tell me what they have been like recently? Ive only seen them on all 5 or 6 times properly.

Agreed.

Outbid for Healy AFAIK, didn't make Murray an offer after having a look at him.

Oh well if he's that vital you should defniitely keep him. "CLASS ACT"

He'll be doing well I'd say.

Interesting that you know Tommy has spent his money on rubbish

I was refering to the "spine"of Murray, Healy and Parker.

I was under the mistaken impression that Healy was still crocked.Cheerfully withdrawn.

I never thought I'd see the day.

There was a story in the sun about Gaffney moving to Derby for eleven puonds during the summer aswell.

Garbage.

Anyway, rumours, rumours......

A carload of Pats players to Shamrock.

Shaun Kelly to Sligo.

Mark Griffin to Shels.

Tis only rumours no harm in asking.

**Lim till i die** · 01/11/2012, 4:51 PM

I'm not giving out to you at all man.

Like those three rumours I posted for example - completely made up.

I'm just bored in the off season so any chance to talk about us ill take it

. Wouldn't mind of the McMillan and Pender bit was true being honest.

Another doing the rounds was Aidan Price to Limerick.

Now there's a likely one.

Slow immobile centre back, just what we need

.

Have to wait another week or two to see who gets Cork player of the year too.

Probably Scully winding up Bohs fans.Mc Millan allegedly gone to Tallaght, wouldnt think that the other three would be in demand

**total hoofball** · 01/11/2012, 6:27 PM

Word on the (LOI) streets, may contain bull****

Christy Fagan and Luke Byrne to Shamrock Rovers
Marty Waters and Ryan Brennan to Pats
Dean Kelly and Pat Flynn to Bohs
Marc Griffin and Derek Pender to Drogs
Stephen Rice to Shels
Tadgh Purcell to Limerick or back to Cork

I smell a ten page thread.

**Lim till i die** · 02/11/2012, 12:46 AM

Crolly gets the nod at Shamrock.

Major belt tightening coming up??

Or a clever ploy to steal some lovely cheap Pats players??

Or both??

**Charlie Darwin** · 02/11/2012, 1:05 AM

Where did you hear that?

Heard from a Rovers player that there is strong talk of Croly and Hawkins being the management team myself.

**Lim till i die** · 02/11/2012, 1:09 AM

A buddy in Dublin.

He's generally fairly good, knows a few agents and the like.

**Charlie Darwin** · 02/11/2012, 1:13 AM

I had heard the Croly/Hawkins rumour alright but didn't know it was confirmed. I assume nothing will be announced before the Cup Final. Seems slightly odd that the club would be unsettling the Pats coaching staff ahead of the match considering European football depends on them winning.

**Lim till i die** · 02/11/2012, 1:18 AM

That was my reaction as well to be honest.

Could be being put about by someone to upset Pats for their own agenda.

Adopted son of Derry Stephen Kenny maybe.

**outspoken** · 02/11/2012, 12:06 PM

Just came across this interview with danny ventre where he says he is in talks with sligo and a number of other clubs, wonder who they could be? http://www.facebook.com/notes/footba...48563455169146
