    Id agree and he chipped in with more goals than the other CB's dissapointing to see him go.
    I see he is calling Stephen Kenny "the best manager in the league" bit of a dig at Bradser

    Waterford signed 6 foot 7 inch Dutch striker Marten Pouwels back in December. He's played for a few teams in Dutch 2nd tier. It gives another attacking option. Probably the tallest player in the league?

    Shels thankfully told St. Mirren to f.off after sniffing around for Sean Boyd on the cheap with a laughable 5 figure offer

    I dunno what Rovers are at - they're losing good players, they've allowed all rivals to sign up best of the available LOI players so they're now really left with diving into the notoriously erratic UK and European pool. Serious bang of 2012 about this...time will tell if they've made another Ricket(ts)

    Thought with his ability to speak different languages and his level of performance in Europe he would've got a better move maybe to the continent.

    Wtf are you on about....?
    Farrugia was out of contract and made it clear at the start of last season that he was going to try a move overseas once his contract finished.
    Kenny was on loan for past 2 seasons and always maintained he wanted to try break into the Celtic first team
    Hoare is a bit of a loss I'll grant you,as mentioned here ,for my money he's better than Cleary.
    And that's it......
    None were a surprise.

    Instead he's going into the industrial,no nonsense factory floor of pro football in lower league england. I think he'll get broken up there but sincerely hope I'm wrong.

    I'm sure he's getting paid pretty well by Barnsley, and they're not miles off being in the Championship in 6 months, but similarly I'd have liked to see him end up somewhere else.

    I'm not arguing about the reasons, more they have to be replaced? Gaffney is gone, Farrugia is gone, Kenny is likely gone, squad players are gone, no young players coming through. What's the plan??

    Barnsley are a fairly big club for league 1 (though the division seems to have a lot of formerly big clubs these days !). Average crowds of up to 15,000 this season, contenders for a play-off sport so far, plus Oakwell is a decent Championship-level ground.

    Tadhg Ryan leaves Derry for Glenavon.

    Makes sense, with Arlo Doherty arriving.

    Yeah understand all that, and it wasn't a poke at barnsley insomuch as it's a well worn path (english league 1)that hasn't worked out for +90% of LOI players who have gone to that level in recent years.
    Also farrugia is not exactly a brick $hithouse to begin with ,so the unrelenting,tough nature of lower league football there could see him struggle to stay fit- I sincerely hope that's not the case,as he's a good young bloke and never acted up whilst at Rovers.

    Farrugia is a sh*thouse but will his bode cope with the demands thats the question.

    In terms of building options for the international side for a while I was hoping all developing Irish talent would go to the continent to develop better technically. Since the change of management there and we are looking back as being physical, hard to beat, kick things that move then, if up to it, a L1 schooling will be of benefit and hopefully they progress up the ranks to the more technically orientated levels and get that exposure then also. The amount of games, quick turn around and travel in the English game is mad, from EPL but very much divisions below, it hard to see how players that arent of the robust type cope.

    Tbh I think Id still rather players to look beyond England/Scotland and to the mainland - is it snobbery with the players of pure class that plyed their trade in Italy eg and hoping for more? Is it actually a better enviornment for youngsers to be in, or am I totally projecting and if id had the talent and opportuniy Id be picking Italy, Spain, France, Benelux over Grimsby, Bradford, Paisley or derelict old seaside towns like Blackpool

    Athlone putting a decent squad together. It'll be interesting to see if they can give Dundalk a run for their money in challenging for the league.
