Nearly a done deal for Mata according to Neil O’Riordan….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Really intrigued to hear what the details coming out this deal will be. Says in the piece he has 18 months left on his contract. You'd have to imagine that the max Shewsbury would be paying for a player like this would be similar-ish to Cheltenham's record fee of 85K for Keena.
Fair play to Sligo for investing in him and having him on the long term deal hopefully for them it's something well over 100k because losing yet another goal scorer without having time to replace them for a second time this season will have fans tearing their hair out. They will need the money though knowing any European related windfalls are years away.
If they could hurry up and get it done before Friday night I’d be grateful

FWIW Shrewburys record fee is £383,000. I doubt that will factor in to things much but it would seem that Shrewsbury have a bit more financial power than Cheltenham so from sligos point of view hopefully it's a bit north of 100k. Especially since they are drifting closer to a relegation battle and getting out of that will be made much more difficult if they lose their top scorer.

Keith Cowan departs Harps.

Is Katlego Mashigo still at the club?
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
No. Announced he left last week. Tried hard but wasn't at the level required
Daryl Horgan returns to Dundalk.
Most of these lads have release clauses and that’s what is paid. Keenas was something like 110-120.
Wow wasnt expecting this at all!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
You were not alone sir, don't think anyone local was, yes there were links, but Statsport led owners made it clear they were running things on a strict budget, so this is a big surprise, and a very welcome one.
I think he can easily play in the middle, no 10 role or so.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).

Fun signing from Dundalk, good to have some more higher profile names in the league. I do wonder how much Horgan has left though, his level seems to have dropped right off in the last couple of seasons. Was looking him up out of curiosity a couple of weeks ago and think it's something like 2 seasons since he's gotten a goal or assist in the league. Might just be he hasn't quite got the pace he used to have which restricted him at the level he was playing.
Seems to have dropped off a cliff, according to the stats. Wycombe loaned him out to Stevanage in League Two in January for the rest of his contract. 14 appearances but just 243 minutes on the pitch with no goals or assists. He's only 31 next week which is relatively young to be winding down his career. If he could get back to his former levels he'd be a brilliant signing for Dundalk.
Kevin Doherty has become the latest manager to turn down the Cork job

we're an absolute shambles. if you dont laugh at this point you'll cry.
Doherty would only leave that Drogheda job if got brilliant money from Cork, had a transfer window to sign players which they don't now and alot of flexibility in terms travel down from Dublin since he has a young family and a long term job with An Post
Smacks of Cork making a terrible attempt to wound their biggest rivals to 8th place safety by a half hearted poach of their manager
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
