If Dundalk are staying full time he won't be there either. That's the reason he's gone from Drogheda. Would wager he'll play LSL or something again, perhaps back with Glebe North

Dundalk train in the evenings, if they really want him they'll accommodate him but they've already Ebbe,Kenny, Gaxha, Horgan, probably alright in ST/wide areas.

Ed McGinty confirming he won’t be back at Sligo Rovers this season….

Assume he’ll be off to Tallaght. Huge loss for us.

I think Dundalk are FT, but def training evenings to suit the new market of players that are needed at this level.

Meant to be 5 more joining before Fri, 1 loan, 4 perm, that should be us then in terms of the 2025 squad.

God help us.

Derry are apparently in talks with Liam Boyce. Interesting to see how Lynch accommodates him and Hoban (and to a lesser extent Mullen) into the same team. Boyce comes with a big reputation and experience but hasn’t scored a goal this season and only scored one in each of the previous 2 seasons, so isn’t coming back in flying colours although he’ll still want to start most games you’d imagine

There was a feeling higgins relied too much on older players. Derry have already signed Ferguson and now linked with Boyce. Not sure this will work.

Ed McGinty confirmed at Shamrock Rovers

**Burnsie** · 09/01/2025, 11:19 AM

now that the LOI PD will, incontrovertibly, be a full-time league, shouldn't all its players now be entitled to have a Wikipedia entry?

I had understood that this was the alleged reason why they didn't qualify on grounds of "notability", meaning only players who'd played in other leagues (or in European group stages maybe?) have entries.

Seems a bit incongruous that the likes of Sean Boyd or Mark Coyle don't get one, yet some teenager who comes off the bench for Bromley will have one up by full time.

Biggest loss of the season for Sligo? He made some amount of saves in the games Vs Bohs that I saw. He definitely lived up to the adage that a good keeper is worth 9+ points a season. The only question mark on him for me would be that his distribution seems a bit erratic at times.

Everyone expected it. Is he still a loan player!?

Yup. Even when we lost 7-0 to Drogheda he was our best player. Could have been 14.

Probably, he definitely was worth 9+ last season. Ellis Chapman is another big loss and Morahan always gave a good performance.

We will move on and I trust John Russell to have done his homework on replacements but I don't envy his job.

Joe Gorman's time at Harps lasted less than a month.

What’s gone on there?

I'd imagine it's to do with the fact he's facing a drink driving charge and the club have done a hell of a lot of work on road safety in Donegal

Sounds like he could be another Leon Pohls, worldie saves but v suspect with his feet.
