Doherty to Spurs confirmed, nice windfall for Bohs.

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Its a bit like selling Doherty twice!
Lots of speculation of Danny mandroiu to rovers. Might explain why long isn't playing him.
Jack Byrne or Graham Burke replacement?
Hopefully neither.
Would look like that though.
He's lucky the bohs match are behind closed doors
Yeah surely must be foreshadowing one of the others leaving, otherwise it make no sense apart from it being a bit gas.
Is Danny a bit p*ssed off with Bohs after their "gargled" team news press release?
Looks like he couldn't care less now about Bohs after that, which was disgraceful towards a player to be honest.
The conspiracy theorists at boez(is there any other kind?) seem to think that Rovers have planted a non story to rock the boat at dalymount, conviently avoiding the fact that the player was openly accused of being a drunk by his club..
If he did end up going to Rovers he'd have to up his game significantly. playing amongst journeymen players like ward and buckley means he stands out, but a better class of player awaits at Rovers. He's certainly a prospect anyway.
You'd have to assume at least one of Burke or Byrne won't be playing for Rovers next season so there could be an opportunity for him.
The mouth foaming by boez fans would also only add to the occasion.
Burkes loan was extended untuil next july which will bring him to the end of his contract at preston so he will still be around for next season.
Yeah good point. Think Byrne might tho.
As for Mandriou, don't think boez have suffered with him out of the team so they may see it as no loss.
Given the choice I would have said take Corcoran instead but he now seem injury prone, which is a shame as he's a proper striker.
There's a pair of them in it. Where do you think the joke came from in the first place? Obviously has the ability to play at a higher level, but the bloke will be playing LSL in a couple of years if he carries on down his current trajectory.
Dinny too fond of the Gah too.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
I thought the joke came from his missus being in Ibiza and posting silly stuff on social media.
The club put it in an official press release (yeah, I read their nonsense excuse afterwards), it's no wonder people laugh at the league if people in it think that's acceptable!
Obviously it was amateur hour from Bohs, but I don't think the joke had anything to do with the social media stuff from the week before. More likely it's well known at Bohs that he's not living the life.
Reckon it has to be Jack Byrne getting his move to across the water that is the reason why the Mandriou move is gathering fire.Thats what Sun said today btw.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Fair enough. He tweeted at the time that it was damaging to his reputation, and he's right, as I now assume he is a drunk. Someone else posted on here the other day asking if he didn't start against Rovers because he's been on the drink. That kind of stuff sticks.
It's bad when it's come directly from your own club in an official communication. Wouldn't blame him for jumping to Rovers.
According to todays Indo 300k of the 1.5M doherty transfer fee is going to Belvadere as they had a sell on plus under FIFA rules both themselves and Home Farm (who he also played for) get money as well bringing Belvos take up to 500k
Still a massive windfall for bohs but game changing money for Belvo.
Belvo deserve a break as they have gone backwards with no access for their school boys to League of Ireland underage.
A lot of their best players now going to St Kevins who get to play in the League of Ireland underage leagues and are the other local club.

Belvedere, along with Crumlin United, Cherry Orchard and Esker Celtic, have an official partnership with Pats that usually gives pats dibs on their better players for the 13s/15s/17s/19s
True but the fact the Kevins players get to continue on playing in their own club grounds with their existing coaches including their own gear when they play away from home (bizarrely) means they dont have to leave the club for them it is seamless and gives them a huge advantage over Belvo.
For the Belvo kids they have to leave the club if they want to play LOI, in that scenerio over time the better players locally at 8,9, 10 etc are going to Kevins to start with.
