great signing for ye. he only spent half a season with us in 08 but I thought he was very good for us imo. when was the last time he played in the loi?

We've signed Rhys McCabe by looks. Was out warming up with the squad before the Cobh friendly earlier.

**pineapple stu** · 19/01/2019, 9:36 PM

UCD have signed Richie O'Farrell from St Pat's. Any Saints fans know anything about him?

Look like we've only lost the two players over pre-season - Daire to Cork and Greg to Derry. Pretty encouraging to have kept the vast majority of our 2018 team together tbh.

Wasn't he in the Ireland U17 squad for the Euros? Tall box to box fella if I'm thinking of the right guy.

Talking to a good friend of Chris forrester today and he informed me that , he put up a picture of his house all boxed up and ready to go home On Snapchat. Take from that what you will but was told that he’s signing for Dundalk . Some signing if true . Was also told he’s due to go away with Dundalk to there Spain training camp next week . Time will tell I serpose.

Vinny Perth completely dismissed the speculation about Forrester last week

"Nonsense"Vinny Perth's reaction to rumours Dundalk are looking to sign Chris Forrester and Andy Boyle. Full story in this week's Argus

Has to be true so, we all know how these things work

I'll wait to see what happens.

Rovers probably have a gap or two to fill in their midfield. Vinny might make a late move if Bradser is complacent!

**Jack B** · 22/01/2019, 2:58 PM

Dundalk have to be gunning for Forrester surely. Between O'Donnell retiring and (appaarently) missing out on McEneff they presumably have a place or two to fill in midfield and you're not going to get much better than Forrester in this league if his head's right.

Surely the one thing Rovers don't need at this point is a midfielder? Granted there'd be no harm in getting him as he's more talented than what they have, but between Watts/Finn/McEneff/Bolger/Byrne/Finn plus whoever else is in the squad the money it'd take would surely be better spent filling actual holes in the team.

Failing all that we'll happily have him back.

There's more chance of him joining rangers than joining Rovers.
A boez fan, by all accounts. It's their players we take, not their fans.

Short memory PD

Dave Connell, Gino Lawless, Peter Eccles ( believe it or not ), Derek Swan All Bohs fans who went to the dark side

Paddy Mulligan, Terry Palmer and allegedly Keith Ward are the only fans I remember going the other way.

However unlikely, would be happy to take Git Forrester back

**placid casual** · 22/01/2019, 4:42 PM

Short memory indeed.😀

Think git made it plain he'd never join Rovers. Dundalk his next likely destination.
Bohs fans gave Eccles unmerciful stick whilst he was at Rovers. Winning things.

Turlough our hero!

Dundalk to sign Jordan Flores from Wigan Athletic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Flores

(source: @reluctantnicko on Twitter - what he doesn't know about the Football League isn't worth knowing and Wigan is one of the clubs where he seems especially well connected)

We have probably two too many midfielders but knowing Rovers that means he'll be our number one target. Doubt he'd want to play for us though, maybe save us from ourselves. (Not to say he'd be a bad option - at full tilt he's the best midfielder in the league).

**Bunny Kelly** · 23/01/2019, 10:13 AM

I wonder if Pats would have gone to sign McCabe if they knew they could get Forrester as both fill similar roles, hard not to sign Forrester when the chance came up but I wonder if they now have more money spent on their midfield than initially planned

**joey B** · 23/01/2019, 10:14 AM

Pat's confirm Forrester and Rhys McCabe good day for Pat's fans!

**Couch Potato** · 23/01/2019, 10:33 AM

You're hardly going to believe us ...............

2 great signings 1 because they are both quality players and 2 because it means Clifford wont get near the team now.

**nigel-harps1954** · 23/01/2019, 10:42 AM

Few quid on Pats to win the league I'd think

**sbgawa** · 23/01/2019, 10:48 AM

Jeez that is some signing for pats.
You'd have to feel a bit sorry for bucko with all the cash pats are splashing now,
They are deffo Europe contenders now.
Going to be a competitive league.
