    I believe both sets of fans have a very high opinion of him.

    Hes a nice guy. Hes not very good at football. He wants to be a great player, and he basically lives in the gym but the ability isn't there.

    You may be right but he did appear to have enough ability to get Airtricity League Player of the Month not that long ago. https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soc...onth-1.2424656

    As I said in the Limerick forum, he's a decent crosser and freekick taker, but is too timid and doesn't actually work that many opportunities to cross. In a dominant team that are in full flow, he looks good, but there's no fight in him, and he's not even close to being as good as Conan Byrne. He can only play right wing and I don't really know why you signed him.

    He played well in about 6-7 games in the run that nearly kept us up but on top of that there is probably only another 5-6 good games in all I think 60+ he has played for us.

    Yeah it's a bit of a strange one, we're not short on wingers, can he play right back at all?

    He started as a right back but in all honesty no he can't.

    Sean Maguire has only won that award once. I take it with a grain of salt. They gave it to McEleney last month because he scored a couple of nice goals on tv. He vanished in the only important game they had. Anyone can play well for 2 or 3 games.

    He, Turner, has something about him on his good days, as mentioned he shone bright in our almost Houdini moment, doing enough to have Cork come and get him so there is something there. Trouble is it's not there anywhere near often enough.

    If Ian Turner is on par with Patrick McEleney, then Pats have got a genius footballer who can be inconsistent. Somehow I expect that he is more ordinary.

    He's certainly not going to be keeping Conan out of the team.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Great logic. He would have won it more if he'd have stayed at Dundalk, sure our lads win it for nothing. More Cork bias

    McElenhey winning it in the month that Seani scored a hatrick against Dundalk (a game McElenhey went missing in) is nonsensical to me. But I'll admit I'm biased!

    That's it. Or of course the 4 other games McEleney played and scored in during June and won by a margin from the open journalist votes. McEleney was the clear and obvious winner for June, but im sure he would have swapped it for the more important league points.

    We have different definitions of clear and obvious. They both had great months, and in the game they both played in, one was clearly superior.

    I'm not saying it was a run away win for Seani, but the idea that it was obviously McElenhey is nuts.

    I'm just going to LOL & PMSL and say i'm glad that MCELENEY won that PFAI POTM award in June just so i can read your reaction to it here tonight

    The Dublin media shot Michael Collins, you really think they'd give player of the month to a Corkman?

    Turner does have ability, can be fantastic with a superb delivery, but mentally seems to drift. He will be much more suited to Pats' football than to the muck we have unfortunately adopted. Buckley's style might be better at bringing his ability out as well.
