Ya thats what I was saying. To say neither club was never going to pay compensation was wrong as they knew from the get go some kind would be due to Limerick and College Corinthians if they signed O'Leary.

Pretty sure City were looking for loopholes

I'd say a year out of LOI is about the only way around it.

well it is now, there was hope that Limerick might have messed up (not in the offer) and that hed be allowed move for free.

Guess who has just been made a Fire safety officer for his block of apartments !!

If he's not good enough why is leaving disloyal?

From Twitter:

Gavin McLaughlin ‏@McLaughlinGavin

Ex @DundalkFC striker Marc Griffin's proposed move to @derrycityfc is in doubt. Sligo Rovers and Limerick are now in discussions to sign him

Jordan keegan re-signs for Pats after spells with monaghan and scunthorpe

**Charlie Darwin** · 21/01/2013, 4:04 PM

Good signing for yous. Thought he had the talent to make it in England but maybe there were other things going on.

Ah come on, 17 goals isn't a bad return by any standard. McDaid's decent. He is a worker.

Funny, compared to how lazy and uninterested he was at Harps. Potential, but his attitude stinks.

Roddy says a lot of things. He might be going on loan I suppose.

Darren Meenan of Pats said on Twitter that he's meeting us on Wednesday for talks..

Presuming this is a joke ??

**Dodge** · 22/01/2013, 9:30 AM

Roddy's a big fan of Keegan, but he won't be going on loan to Athlone.

Hope Meenan picks up a club soon. As long as he's available there's the nagging doubt he'll come back

**adamd164** · 22/01/2013, 9:57 AM

Has Vinny Faherty re-signed for Pats? Probably irrelevant as I doubt we can afford him, but I remember he was due to train with us last summer at one stage.
