Anto Murphy going to us from Pat's. Deal almost complete, he's quitting his part-time job to go full time with us apparently.
Pat's fans...views on him please?
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
That wouldn't make sense though...Originally Posted by sligoman
He was offered a full time contract at Pats but said he didn't want to go full time, and you can be sure the money would be much better at Pats.
I'd be very very surprised if this happened being honest.
Great player though, super engine, would do well for any club in the league.
Well he's definitely leaving Pat's. Couldn't agree with what he was offered there.
And it says in local paper today that looks likely Murphy will be 'quitting his job outside of football' to take up a 2 year full time contract with us.

Any talk of Trevor Molloy joining ye?
False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
been linked with molloy in local press and rumours that he was in sligo last week
Yep we're linked with him too, along with Daryl Kavanagh from Waterford. Murphy is the only one that's almost definite. Yesterday's paper said Gerry Carr says a 'top quality midfielder' has only to complete his paper work while Gerry and Cook will be meeting another player in the next week or so with a view to completing a move.
Make of that what ya will, could Molloy be described as 'top quality'...I hear he's trouble?

was he any good at motherwell?
Not exactly what happened...
Pat's fans, is Murphy any good?

Excellent at getting up for headers and has a good speciality long throw. I always felt he was an intelligent player and was sad to see him leave UCD.
decent player
had a shocking start to the season before last and was a target for a lot of abuse but came thru it and came good last season.
can play rw or rb
also tried centre mid before.
great long throw
can be a bit stoopid at times as you would have seen when he got sent off v you in the 3-2 win in the showgrounds.
also sent off v bray for same sort of stupidity.
had a row with johnny mac over his full time contract so looked destined to move. he's a plumber by trade working with his uncle so could probably take time off and try full time football.
He spent a season with us too - you could see he had loads of ability, and very athletic, but his attitude wasn't great. Glad to see he has copped himself on, he's a great talent.
What Poor Student says is true about his ability to jump - in fact he conceded a lot of free-kicks because referees thought he was leaning on the opposition player he jumped so high. (Brian Gannon suffers from the same problem, and with him being quite short he gets a foul against him every time he wins a header!)
i was very impressed with him when pats were on that good run at the start of last season, i thought he was one of ye're best player, he seemed to drift away as the season went on though!? still a great buy if we get him!!
Dave Mooney on trial with Birmingham City.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
hope he booked return flights!
Mooney expected to sign for Birmingham this weekend after impressing on trial according to today's Irish Times
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
cant see mooney making the first team for birmingham sorry! i think this is a money move for moons. he was much better off going to drogs, cork or pats. wish all the best though...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Rumour up here is that we will be revealing 2 new signings tonight at our press conference, one is believed to be Gary Beckett from Derry.
I hear Citys greatest ever striker might have played his last game.
Ramblers might just get that big signing.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Other being Gary Deegan from us maybe?
