Anyone hear Cookie wants to commute the from UK on a weekly basis, what impact would that have ? did not work for Kenna in St Pats! Does anyone know why Gerry Carr left 2 days after Cup Final?

Now I know he did have flashes of quality, and I know he was unreal against waterford, but the simple fact is he was absolutely shocking in some games. I remember an away game against either dundalk or drogheda and it was probably the worst performance (taking effort into consideration) I've ever seen in a rovers shirt.

You've missed my point a bit here. Even when he played poorly he managed to get a few quality balls into the box. Some better quality finishing from our forwards and perception of him around here could be very different. I feel he was actually producing a lot more than he recieved credit for.
Don't remember which game in particular your talking about there so I'll have to take your word for it, but do we have a player (bar Peers obviously) who hasn't had a bad game at some stage?

Captain do you make up your rumours yourself or where do you find them?

Wasn't aware Gerry was gone. Definitely saw him around town in a Rovers tracksuit top last week, which strikes me as strange had he recently departed the club. I'm guessing this isn't true? Cook commuting weekly would just be ridiculous, can't see the board allowing that.

Well I'm sure he got plenty of gear during his time with the club, I'd assume he didn't have to hand it back if he left...plus he's a Rovers fan anyway so not that strange.

Mc Cabe was injured and to be honest he wasn't fit for the play off games either, but played through the pain to try keep us up. Never gave less than 100% and you could do a lot worse than sign a player with his talent and workrate hope he does well for you.
As far as I know Dane Massey is under contract for next season

Arrah, will you go away and eat your seagull sandwich. Not even I would try a daft one like that on here.

Obviously he wouldn't be handing it back. I would have to question his mentality in publicly representing a former employer so soon after leaving though. Therefore I'm going to assume that he's still there. Feel free to correct me if you have the facts though.

I had heard he left but dont know for definite. Just saying it's hardly unusual to see him in Rovers gear even if he's left.

There's bad games but then there was him that day (I'm pretty sure it was the day danny v got sent off). Zero effort. So frustratin to travel that far and she him walkin around and not giving a crap. Actually he even got sent off that day for a pointless second yellow (dissent iirc). He was in the same sort of a mood in other games, Bray away another one that comes to mind straight away. I know he is a quality player but the negatives outweigh the positives for me, and I think we'll be better off without him tbh. What an absolute waste of talent, such a shame.

That was the away game vs drogheda alright. danny got a straight red just before half time & owen got a second yellow for dissent late in the second half.

Owen's first yellow was for dissent. He was said off for leaving the foot in on one of Drogs players. He was sent off minutes after some "fan" hurled abuse at him re: f**kin off back up the road to Derry. Probably coincidental.

Anyway, Morrision is a class player with loads of talent, but he doesnt seem to have the attitude for it. When he fancies it he's brilliant; but unfortunately there are days when he doesnt seem to what to be there. We need players who are consistent more often than not.

Carr isn't gone just yet it seems

According to a headline in The Champion he is in talks over a new contract.

Shaping up nicely now assuming McCabe has signed and Boco is gone I think we would just need a decent centre half and a right back for the starting 11

Brush
TBC Peers TBC Butler
McCabe Turner O'Grady Doyle
Amond Blinkhorn

Ventre can cover several positions as can Keane if he signs ,would be great if we could keep Boco also as he can play anywhere.

Need decent backup as this is where we got caught out last year great first 11 but rarley started together. Nice article by Peers in the star last weekend saying he wanted to stay to win things and wants a rattle at the title great attitude to have would love to see Murray sign as him and Peers would be a great combination.
