QuoteI didnt realise Dermot Desmond has a 25% stake in shamrock rovers so makes sense why Celtic are after LS. Is Desmond going to increase his stake if LS move pays off?
I expect Rovers to beat Teuta, its the scheduled game after that I was really referring to. If, in the unlikely event Flora beat Omnia, I wouldn't fancy Rovers chances against Omnia.
For what it's worth I think Rovers will get into the group stages but uts jot a foregone conclusion that dundalk & boez fans on here seem determined to impose - maybe as their own chances are limited by the non champions draw.
We'll see what plays out I guess

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Perish the thought, he is a philanthropist at Rovers, businessman on everything else and just looking for a cheapo for his 1st grá from the feeder clubOriginally Posted by Martinho II
I think Scales is worth his chance but ye can see why non Rovers fans will run with DD just balancing the books. McGrath's impact in SPL for nothing makes the likes of Scales worth a punt for Celtic. Be it a decade ago if the likes of Connor Sammon can generate transfer fees for Scottish clubs......
See its being reported that deal not done with Celtic for Scales as a Premier league club interested now.
If i was Scales id go to Celtic tbh (and im not a Celtic fan) straight into the starting 11 and plenty of game time which is the most important thing for a young player
Scales would be well advised to keep as far away from Celtic as possible, turning into a real basket case over there.
Championship side on the south coast of England would be ideal for him.Nicer climate and as far away from Sligo as possible.
Twitter so can probably be disregarded but @loithings (all things loi) MK Dons trying to get Stephen Bradley to go to them.
That would be a blow at the wrong time.
Fair play to Bradley if he gets that gig.
Twitter is so blown up for being the greatest source of info for transfers it has actually become unreliable.
The latest is he'll be playing for SR v Teuta.
If i was a celtic fan - Liam would be one for the future but not one for right now and Celtic need right now atm from what i can see.
Saw Bradley is at 12 to 1 to get MK Don's job.Looks like speculative stuff.
A bit of unwelcome distraction from Rovers most Important game this year.
Its just noise, little distraction until an offer is made and if that happens its unlikely to be publicised until after the away leg. Rovers have a big enough established coaching staff to minimise the impact on a league campaign, the likes of Duff or even Robbie, McPhail could also step up short term. There are only so many he'd be able to take with him, Rovers management is collaborative in type. It does seem like bookmakers throwing a list together. It would be an interesting watch at Milton Keynes if it were to happen!
Duff works for shels, I believe. Keane is not involved with Rovers.
Bradley won't go anywhere until seasons end, if he decides to go at all. Depends on what transpires for Rovers in Europe I'd say.
Regardless you'd expect Duff and Keane to be linked and McPhail also able to do things short term at a push. I think Bradley would be mad to go, he can pretty much be on cruise control here as opposed to building a side in the murky waters of Englands L1. Far away fields aint so green. I dont think he'd be interested unless its a big pay day irrespective of European results. I doubt think he is truly in consideration by MK Dons either.
Drogs sign centreback Joe Redmond from Birmingham .
Adrian Carberry left Athlone,8 points off the play offs with what looked on paper a decent first division squad,the result the other night must have sealed his fate…
Andre Wright signed with us for the rest of the season

Yeah, 13 points in the first 5 games, but then 9 points in the 14 since. Wasn't he being spoken of quite highly at the end of last season? Football's a rough aul game at times.
Wouldn’t have thought so , while he had practically all amateur squad last season they looked a shambles at times ,didn’t get results and humiliated v Dundalk in FAI albeit after shocking Shels earlier.This season brought in more established players on a budget and after good start the wheels have come off,team looks rudderless and doesn’t look fit..Comes across as a nice fella maybe that’s the problem.
Great signing.Your chances of finishing third are up a notch.
Two new signings for Dundalk
Cameron Yates a Scottish goalkeeper

Sami Ben Amar a French born Tunisian

Wycombe reserves and the French fourth/fifth tier? That... doesn't quite inspire confidence.
The Wycombe signing I can see the link cos of Horgan, but Perth saying they've watched a lot of Ben Amar's games in France - that's random. Either the club are wasting money going to random lower league French games, or they're signing players based on video highlights.
