Moving to Preston next month supposedly.
Better get his boxing gloves ready
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
There's been a lot of rumours lately but nothing of substance so far. If Dundalk get through to the next round of the Europa League I don't expect either him or Horgan to leave.

Apart from the idiot who said that, they generally appear to be positive about the potential signings of Boyle, Horgan and Gannon.We don't want any more players from over there.

Given that Boyle (and Horgan) made the most recent Ireland squad, should they not be entitled to their own thread in the Ireland forum? I would certainly support that.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Is this forum for players outside of the League of Ireland only?

I suppose it's a bit of an usual situation in that it's so rare for a domestic club player to get called up to an Ireland senior squad. I think the (unwritten?) rule is to only start a thread when a player has made a match day squad (minimum) for a club outside of the LOI. This is a pretty good policy but I think if a domestic club player makes the Irish senior squad it should be fair game too.
After all, they would qualify for the sticky thread on this forum linking all of our senior international players (or is it just international players at any level). Speaking of which, it would be great if that facility could be maintained and the player names put in alphabetical order. That's not a criticism of anybody, people have lives to live, but the way it is at the moment it's just easier to use the search facility I find.

Boyle's agent (Patrick Conliffe) has confirmed the move on Twitter.
On the bench today against villa, Horgan starts. Currently 2-0 down.
Drops out of PNE's squad for this afternoon's game.
Cunningham, Browne and McGeady start.
Starts tonight.
Boyle played the full 90 minutes for Preston tonight away to Derby. The game ended 1-1 with Preston conceding in the 50th minute before equalising in the last minute.
Dave Seddon of the Lancashire Evening Post tweeted about Boyle's performance: "Impressed with Andy Boyle on his PNE debut, didn't put a foot wrong."
A Preston season-ticket holder tweeted further praise in response to that: "thought he played very well and looked settled and solid, should play him a lot more."
Seems he did very well then. 26th birthday today too.

Preston fans very pleased with him to a man.
Interesting. With Duffy (25) and Clark (27) our first choice pairing at the moment he has a lot of work to do. Both of those are likely to be Premier League players next year too, hopefully they can keep their places at their clubs if and when that happens. He won't have to worry about O'Shea for much longer and Keogh is in his thirties now also but will obviously be around for a while yet. Then you've got serial squad members like Pearce (28) and McShane (31) and other prospects like Egan (24) and Hoban (23).
I'm probably forgetting a couple as well so Boyle has his work cut out in that regard, but that was a big step for him last night.

Preston remain unlikely to reach the play-offs though, and a draw won't have been the best result for them in that regard. They have ten games still to play.Originally Posted by RTÉ
Yup, total error on my part and I've corrected it now. Sorry about that and cheers for the correction. Having not seen the game (I hadn't been following updates it in real time either), I somehow completely misread the post-match info on LiveScore.
