    I know Jimmy. He's from a tiny place in kilkenny. Played with belvo as a teenager then youths. He used to make a lot of ireland underage squads. Had a yr with exeter then a couple with bristol. Had half a season in the conference too before moving to sligo. Decent, tidy little player. Usually played as an attacking wide player in england but moved a bit further back with sligo and played midfield. Even played full back a few times when they were stuck. Best suited to 3 man midfield id say. Im a bit surprised he moved actually. Not sure he can replace any of bolger, morissey or buckley. Probably a rotational option now that holohan is gone.

    Jimmy Keohane signed for Bristol City at the same time as Patrick Hoban arrived from Mervue Utd.

    Neither of them made any impression at Bristol - curiously they both joined non-league Clevedon Town on loan before going in different directions; Hoban back to Mervue, while Keohane went on to League One side Exeter where he spent 4 seasons.

    Their respective career paths have been something of a boomerang since

    In today's Indo Daniel McDonnell again namechecks Gary Rogers, Darren Meenan, Ryan Connolly and Roberto Lopez as possible Rovers signing.

    These would all improve Rovers, but unless more higher quality signing are made, are unlikely to push them to be title contenders
    From reading interviews I don't think anyone at Rovers is expecting to become title contenders next year. Goal at the moment is still to get European football and anything else is a bonus.

    Well I for one expect Rovers to challenge not all Rovers fans buy into the way some from the club try to play down our expectancy - Kenny and Caulfield and Michael O'Neill have all shown in the recent past that it's very possible to go from also rans to contenders in one season and that's what me and lots of Rovers fans expect

    I didn't mean the fans - I meant players and (likely) management.

    That's my concern re the management both of the team and the club- continually talking down our chances or put it another setting mediocre targets which ultimately is for there own benefit as it protects their positions

    To be fair to the club i think they need to see who they can sign for next year before they can start announcing plans to challenge

    I think Rivers bom are just being realistic.
    Nothing worse than talking up something only for it to fall flat on its face.
    As for signings ? At this time of year every player is linked with every club 😏

    Achille Campion signs for City from Sligo. Another player I know nothing about.

    John Caulfield really likes signing players from Sligo.

    Caulfield must be close to double figures at this stage on the amount of our ex-players he's signed

    Campion, Keohane, Davoren, Gaynor, Elding off the top of my head.

    I'm sure there's a few more.

    According to Achille Campion on Twitter:


    Does anyone know if the wife will be with him in Cork?

    Is she barred from Sligo for some reason?

    Beattie, Djilali, Folan as well. Maguire had a spell with us also although he obviously didn't arrive direct. There's probably more on top of those.

    He did tweet from outside Chelseas ground before that so guessing she lives in London. If he'd just said he was leaving no one would have batted an eyelid but it was a strange statement to leave on.

    Connolly is exactly the kind of player rovers need. Quality and no attitude, gives it everything he has. Rovers fans would love him. He's still the one player that really irks me for getting away from our grasp when we had him on loan in 2013.

    In recent years Rovers have tended to specialise in players with attitude and modest quality - maybe Connolly will buck the trend?

    I think he is a decent player and would definitely improve Rovers if he signed - but I also think Rovers would need to sign higher quality players to be title contenders

    I'm not trying to make out he's a player that has a good attitude and nothing else, he's a brilliant player. Tough tackler for his size, can run past players with the ball and is an assist monster. Would instantly improve any side IMO

    Did Daryl Horgan arrive under Caufield or Dunne from Sligo.
