Wasnt SS with Waterford last season?

[DCSIL]

He was

[RealJohn91]

That's a strange one, did he have a falling out with Long? Seems like a bit of sideways move.

[2 Year Contract]

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

No, he’s moved on a permanent deal this time

[thebronze14]

Not a good couple of months to add to Ryan Rainey’s admission of Gambling issues.

I expect it will be Derry City’s fault, as usual.

What a bizarre comment... I'm thinking of that meme of the lad looking at the mirror saying to go in and make it all about you

[gufct]

Com Horgan , Regan Donlon and Dave Hurley’s re-signings confirmed today . That’s 19 of last years squad retained plus new signings to be announced

[2 Year Contract]

The Drogheda/Bohs transfer saga of where will Frantz Pierrot play this year has been answered. And that answers is… Velez Mostar of Bosnia

They’ll be playing in the conference league next season so he could well face one of the Irish sides

[Shearer]

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

Darren Murphy won't sign a replacement as bad.

Every cloud.

The rumours were true, he'll be playing in Bohs...nia

[SPXcyan]

Disappointed to see Sam Sargeant leave Waterford, he was decent, perhaps Long didn't fancy him for whatever reason, but with two new keepers coming in during the week has me intrigued, especially the Cork City GK from last season, I've already forgotten his name >.>

[WoodquayBoy]

Chris Collopy leaving role as coach at Galway United to become assistant manager at Kerry according to local paper here. Dave Hurley, Colm Horgan and Regan Donelon all re-signed for 2025, that’s most of last year’s squad retained but no new signings confirmed yet

[2 Year Contract]

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.

You're correct, going by their guidelines it should be possible now. I do find that a lot of the people on there that approve articles have an incredible sense of authority and general arsiness about them.

Despite the league not being fully professional up to this point, you can still get an article through for players that have only played LOI in their senior career, so long as it’s well referenced and there are a decent amount of articles with them in national papers that you can link. For example the likes of Jay McClelland, Anto Breslin, Jamie Lennon, Greg Bolger etc all have one.

Here’s a Sean Boyd article I created yesterday after seeing your post here. Will do a few more if I have time

I hear Jack Doherty has done his ACL in pre season. Never nice to hear of a player picking up that injury, particularly in pre-season. A big loss to Cobh this year

[Shearer]

Thomas Considine leaves Treaty for Bray.

Started the season like a house on fire but disappeared until the last game of the season. Has potential for sure.

[Bunny Kelly]

Where is the best list of current squads that are actually signed up?

Extratime’s one is probably the most up to date one I’ve seen. Although there are still a good amount of errors in it (for example shamrock rovers only have a squad of 3 players for this year apparently )

Yeah I was looking at that one but when I saw the Rovers squad I thought there might be something better out there

Not sure about the First Division but @chippie1974 on Twitter puts together a fairly updated spreadsheet every so often for squads in the Premier. Have found it quite helpful for keeping up with things in the off season.
