    Not impressed JC called him out on his lies in the media, after waiting a year to make a claim to the media instead of directly to JC or the player about a phone call.

    Kenny ****ed up. He claimed one of our players made the phone call. He didn't. It was a fan, and it was well known. It was nothing to do with the club. He should retract his claim about Nults and apologise. Certainly before he gets on a high horse attacking Caulfield for calling him out on it. Caulfield said nothing in the run up to the final. He was well within his right to call Kenny out and back up his player once it was over.

    On the Shep/Dundalk thing, be interesting to hear the legality of it. Not sure what the purpose of the statement was unless it's in prep for a legal challenge?

    I expect the intention of giving the details about Sheppard was to annoy or embarrass him as payback for messing them around.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Fair enough. Seems a bit petty but no harm done I guess.

    ''We didn’t confirm it but we just couldn’t keep denying it.''Actually Stephen you very easily could have kept denying it, it's not that hard to say ''Karl's a cork player so I'm not going to answer that'' then maybe you'd have got your player in the end, but you tried to play mind games and it back fired.

    I wonder how the Dundalk fans who found Mark McNultys comments embarrassing feel about this statement.

    The cheese has slid off his cracker.
    Must be difficult for dundalk to watch their manager having a breakdown, in public.

    Sheppard was contracted to Cork City though close to the end (Bosman territory), Kenny implies a lot in his post too which leads me to believe it won’t be pursued by Dundalk as every dubious contract dealing they’ve had will be dragged out of the closer too.

    Journos on twitter saying Dundalk would have been obliged to notify Cork City to speak to Shep. It would be hilarious if they've just outed themselves as breaking the transfer rules with this statement.

    Now they could well have followed the rules correctly. Be interesting to see if any more comes from it.

    The same way you felt about his comments

    Nothing because it would expose every club. Do you think Cork wrote to Sligo every time they intended to talk to one of their players? You'd need to hire a full time employee for that

    That's interesting, as funny as it would be for Cork to have to pay us compo over this I'd rather the club left it alone

    I'm sure clubs break that rule all the time. They don't often come out and say they have broken it though.

    It's all very Kevin keeganesque. He really has let himself down the last couple of weeks.

    This isn't a hypothetical. Either Dundalk informed Cork City or they didn't. If they did, then no problem. If they didn't then they have broken league rules and can potentially be punished for openly admitting that they spoke with and signed an agreement with a player they had no right to talk to.

    Cork didn’t inform Rovers when they were taking to Tobi before the end of the season.

    In football, the last 6 months of the contract players are free to negotiate with whoever they want. The clubs interested don't have to notify the club in property.

    If the pre-contract is broken it is because there is a clause for both of the parts which allows them to break it under some conditions, normally paying a fee the player is going to be able to break it. Probably Sheppard got that money from Cork in the signature o the new contract as a "bonus" or "loyalty payment"
