This is obviously not goin to become general public knowledge when Farrelly is making his way in management.
Ryan, Hunt and Crowe would be a huge lose to Bohs ... Kenny going was the start of this landslide i think. Hate to see it as Bohs are technically a very good football playing side. Used to love Bohs games, ..... while we didn't always come out on top, the game was always good and entertaining.
And a manager not getting involved in contact talks for three of his best players .... am i hearing things right ??Surely this is totally mad. Three quality players that if you didn't have them on your team, you sure as hell wouldn't like to have them playing against your side. I dunno ??

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Hunt and Crowe yeah, but Ryan is useless imo. Yeah, he can ghost by players for fun, but there is rarely if ever a good final ball at the end of it. He should be the best winger in the country and a full international but at the end of the day he creates nothing so while he's entertaining, what good is he? Creating the chances Bohs play has deserved this season has been their biggest problem and he's been the biggest culprit there.Originally Posted by A face
Drogs have offer Crowe a very good contract but he is still in talks with Bohs and Shels at the moment. Hunt will stay on, while Ryan and Caffery will go to Pats and the Hawk will go to shels as well. a few others leaving as well. Dessie Byrne in talks to sign for Bohs, Webb talking to Drogs.Originally Posted by Slash/ED
That's been doing the rounds for an age, at this stage I'd be suprised if that one at least is not true. Not overly happy with it either, he can be great but has been woeful for a while now.Originally Posted by Roo69
Mr. Injury = Colin Hawkins.Originally Posted by Slash/ED
If he could stay injury free he'd be the best centre half in the eL
Losing to Tallin in the UEFA was the start IMO. Without the money from a decent European run, they can't afford these guys' wages.Originally Posted by A face
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I wonder if he fancies an education?
Not sure he wants to play for Trinners though![]()
Crowe has signed for Shels even thou Drogs offered better wages, along with Bobby Ryan and Colin Hawkins, Shels have also signed Gary O'Neill and Baker is coming back from the staes to play for them. Shels had also verbaly agreed a deal with Hunt but had to pull out of it as they went over budget.Originally Posted by Roo69
If they lose all these players, they could struggle even for a mid-table place.
I would too. Shels will win the league again and will play in Europe every season. He'll also be playing in the best team / squad in the league.Originally Posted by Roo69

Crowe has not signed for anyone yetOriginally Posted by Roo69
I think you under estimate Crowe and Byrne by commenting that they won't play well together. Crowe is a very intelligent player on top of his technical abillity, and anyone who reckons he's slow have not seen him play very often. The fact is he has a deceptive turn of pace given his make up, and this has proved a major asset.
And for those who reckon Crowe is inferior to Byrne, I'll put my neck on the line and say that Crowe will be Shels top scorer next season.
It'll be very interesting to see how they fair in Europe next season. Shels really are the glactica of the Eircom league.
Fear not fellow Bohs fans for the future is bright. Remember it has been these big name players who have let the side down more than any others over the last two years (Crowe being the exception). Hawkins, although on his day the best Central Defender in the el is now past his best as the Injuries have caught up with him. Ken Oman will prove to be a more than able replacement. Losing McGuinness last year was a bigger loss in my eyes. Bobby Ryan although performing slightly better under Farrelly has being an enigma for the last 2 years. I will miss the dazzling runs but lets face it, it rarely caused penetration where it matters. Caffrey was the sort of player you'd ask after the game ' Was Caffrey playing tonight?' Solid but hid too much for my liking. Hopefully a fully fit Farrelly will be his replacement with a re-energised and fully motivated King Kevin Hunt in the centre of the pitch. Lynch will not be missed, although proving to be a better central midfielder than full back. I didn't dislike Damien Lynch but he didn't do much for me either. Simon Webb was the worst player in the team during the 2003 season, although slightly more consistent this year. Signing a new left back must be a priority but I could see Keddy in this position.
Farrelly, Stephen Ward and Stephen Rice will be a pleasure to watch and if Grant continues where he left off this year then we'll have no worries. Just need Dominic Foley top pull his finger out and we'll be right up there come November '05.
Trust me, I'm an engineer!
