Sean McCaffrey when he managed Monaghan Utd in loi,how was he thought of in Monaghan from his tenure?

Town have signed Pat Flynn from Shels. Haven't seen much of him lately but he was always a decent enough player, albeit a lunatic at times. Should be well able for the First Division anyway.

I saw him play for Shels last season when I went to three of their matches in Tolka.. He was the focal point of their defence.. He was way better than Graham Gartland!he will be a loss to Shels..

There's Pat Flynn dammed with faint praise

Confirmation that Quigley has been paid off and that Ryan had a two-year contract with a break clause if he got a club in Canada, which he has with Ottawa Fury.

The re-signing of Shane Robinson must surely be the calming balm needed after the trauma of losing Ryan and Quigley.

If only Gartland and Bradley would come home to Tallaght............

I'm so excited by the re-signing of Robinson I've decided to take tomorrow off work to celebrate.

Extratime reckoned he'd signed back for the '04 season earlier on. He may have been some addition that year.

Didn't Dundalk pay about 10k on the 2 lads from Mervue 2 years ago? That McCaffrey spoofer may just have been the worst manager the league has ever seen.

Are you sure about that? Usually after a player turns pro, compensation is only paid to the previous club after any subsequent transfer when the player is out of contract unless there's a sell-on clause agreed.

Harps squad up to 11 with Josh Mailey signing.

**cestlavie** · 17/12/2013, 12:58 PM

Great news for the Harps, Josh Mailey has massive ability & if he fulfills that potential the Club & player will do well. The problem is that Josh can play anywhere, maybe that isnt a huge problem all the same.

I believe Mailey is one of the few players in the Harps squad that would be well able to hold his own in the Premier Division should be fulfill his potential. One of the more exciting players to come to Harps in a long time.
