The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
We got him for nothing, he left for nothing, what have we lost: nothing!
You lost a great player there fella .... and you know it !!
Any club in the league would slot him straight into their team !!

Great signing for Stephen Kenny. He has done some shrewd business up there. Disappointing day for Rovers, bu thats a significant chunk off the wage bill with Gavin gone as well
Where you start is not as important as where you finish!!!!
Lads apart from soccercentral this story isn't being carried anywhere else. So I don't think theres been any official confirmation yet.
If its on soccercentral then there must be something to it. It run by people in the know !!

What??!!?? Thats a massive loss!!!
Sitting pretty!!!
We spent winter signing Richie f*cking Baker and Bobby f*cking Ryan and McCourt goes on a free
McCourt with Byrne Hoolahan Moore and Ndo would be incredible, any four of those five would be amazing together.
Massive massive buy for Derry, him linking up with Farren will be something else.
I thought Gavin had all but signed for Hartlepool? I don't think he's upto much anyway.
I'd have rathered Gavin than McCourt myselfWe spent winter signing Richie f*cking Baker and Bobby f*cking Ryan and McCourt goes on a free

He hasn't impressed me at all when I've seen Rovers and I think we're alright in defence when everyones fit which has been rare this season.
McCourt on the right wing would add alot to the team though.
And we have yet to play them in the Brandy and at home !!

Of course McCourt is a massive loss, but we have to look at the bigger picture. Gavin is a good defender but so is Paulo Maldini, that doesn't mean we can afford him.
McCourt hasn't officially signed for Derry yet and is still "in talks" with Bohs. However, he is travelling to Derry today and I expect him to be a Derry player by this evening.
Looks like Jason McGuinness is going back to Bohs; our goalie has been contacted by Limerick but I'd be hopefully of him staying put; Dave Mooney is talking to Culchie Bohs, but hopefully he'll see sense and stay with us. UCD apparently are in for Keith Doyle and they are more than welcome to him, while Leeds United are sniffing around for Will McDonagh, which just shows that the spirit of Peter Risdale is alive and well at Ellend Road.
as in Barry Murphy? Surely someone in the Premier is after him?
is relegation accepted by most fans now?they will have no players left soon!
Wow i agreee with Slash Ed!!!!!!!!!!
But find it weird you werent in for him.
kdjac
Well its official now!
from bbc sport:-
Former Northern Ireland Under-21 player Pat McCourt has signed for Derry City until the end of the season.
Midfielder McCuort moves from Shamrock Rovers where he had been since leaving Rochdale in January.
"Patrick is an exciting player who will add a new dimension to the team," said Brandywell boss Stephen Kenny.
"We are still in three competitions and the matches are going to come thick and fast. We needed reinforcements and this will give us a fresh impetus."
Derry hope to have McCourt registered in time to play against Bohemians in the Premier Division on Tuesday.
I think he has only signed until the end of the season, still waiting to hear the full story yet though.
I won't accept relegation until the division one fixture list comes out and I see Shamrock Rovers listed.
We're two points behind a managerless and fairly brutal Harps side; and six behind a managerless, chairmanless, pennyless Waterford side who have lost their last ten games.
Hardly mission impossible.
Our next four games are against Bray, Pats, Waterford and UCD. We'll know a lot more about our chances in a month's time.
Yeah, but you're laying a group of kids and your manager admited to not knowing half their names, I don't like to say this but the odds are stacked against Rovers atm!!!
Sitting pretty!!!
