Delighted to have so many players signed up for next season, very unusual for us to have this done so early Boyle, Massey, Mountney, Meenan, O'Donnell, Towell, Byrne, Hoban have all signed think we might be looking for a new keeper as there is a lot of talk of Cherrie going back to scotland, maybe thats why we signed Winn a few weeks ago -------------  YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

I wouldn't be surprised if Kenny doesn't go for a couple of our young lads over the winter, most players out of contract and I know he did make an enquiry for ryan mc bride last season and his contract is now up. We have signed 2 players so far - the 2 mcelenys, personal I'd have told Patrick to jog on, lazy fecker |

any info on the towell contract? no interest from overseas? |
Posted By: Stillhuntinghenry
Date Posted: 17 Oct 2013 at 9:50pm
Nothing done yet but come next month he is free and no compensation payable as he is 23 so I'm expecting Kenny to make a move then. A lot will depend on who the Derry manager is I suspect, Devine will be gone after the last game I think |

Well I'm surprised nobody else was sniffing around which might cause him to wait. I suppose the sponsors giving a hand and Kenny re-signing the others helped him make the decision. |

He's fantastic. Probably the best left back behind Bermo. Only 19 as well. So saddened to see him go, especially to them. He's dead to me now.

 Yeah hard one to take if true. Powell must be on his way so. |
Posted By: David McWilliams
Date Posted: 04 Nov 2013 at 12:21am
Byrne is twice the player Powell will ever be. Powell is fragile under pressure and weak at defending. Going forward they're roughly the same. Luke might shade it. Defensively Luke is magnificent! Taller, stronger, braver than Powell. He has also captained Bohs on a few occasions. However, if he moves to Rovers and lets money get in the way of success or futuring his career like many players have in the past, he won't be half the player he was at Bohs.

Full time football alone is not going to help forrester if the club il has something rotting in it, be that fellow players or manager or whatever! Forrester couldn't get into our team towards the end of the season which would be more realistic to him leaving IMO also there's a whipser of full time returing to Inchicore next season however I'm a fan of if it ain't broke don't fix it meself |

Is Bisto defo going to Oz? He will be a big loss. Fagan is technically good but he doesn't have enough of a presence up front to play in that system.

When Flynn signed Rovers were part time. When we went full time, he was the last part time player released.
Kenna is the first player signed since Rovers moved to Tallaght who has a job.
To me, regardless of his ability, that is a backwards step.

Not sure why you typed it slowly, no need for you spending ages doing that it comes up the same on this mate ;) Ok, rice works and you tried to sign Flynn last year again!

There is obviously a bad batch of methadone knocking around.
Rice works as a development officer for the FAI specifically tailored around his training.
Every other Rovers player is a full time pro.
Flynn was the last of the pre 08 part time players released.
If Croly is reverting to semi pro status, I would expect a bigger internal discussion within the club.
What bit of this is too complicated for you?
