Everton then Yeovil and then Rovers

Can't honestly rate him at first team level as he never really broke into the team. Can only remember seeing him once or twice.

Can't see Dan Murray going anywhere near the exit door at Rovers. He was dropped against Bohs as he hasn't started the season well and has been carrying a slight injury. He will be back in there.

If anyone is to go it would be PK. He has been useless and then the twitter incident didn't exactly paint him in the brightest of paints.

bohs have also apparantly signed Stephen Hurley- free agent. ex bray and ucd. Anyone ever seen him, any good?

I think he scored a screamer against UCDD in the cup possibly on his debut a couple of seasons back and I honestly can't remember anything else

Cultured midfielder when he was at UCD. But on the light side at 20 and 21 years of age.

In fairness to the guy, he struggled either with injuries and not being rated (maybe behind the scenes/training stuff?). I can't remember him being given getting a decent run in the team. Certainly not like that afforded to other one or two underperforming players.

We should also be getting a few Home Farm lads on amateur papers aswell for the A-Team/u-20, similar to the way we got Belvo lads last season (Who are in our first team now).

I dunno if thats set in stone though.

I don't disagree. He needed a run of games where the team is winning consistently too, not losing at home to Bray where the manager will likely have you for the chop first.

I think Sheppard will be more regular on the right like Stewart last season so it's Billy/McCabe/everyone else/PK for the one left wing spot. So I don't see him getting another wide player. I do think Rovers need a left-back or left-back cover.

We have 4 players signing on Scholarship in August, they go to maynooth sponsored by us and assume have to stay with us for the duration. Good idea Jake Carroll the 1st in it and looks a very handy player.

BOHtox

Graham Gartland to either Pats or Rovers.
Dean Kelly to Bohs on loan.
these are two I've heard recently

He was meant to be signing for us on loan before the start of the season, but Rovers wanted a fee and paying his wage that was some stupid amount of money iirc. Get the cheque out now!:D

Karl Moore to Motherwell.

Behan apparently signing for Limerick

What do the First Div people think about Limerick 'splashing the cash'? You reckon they will be able to push for promotion?

I still reckon it will be us and Cork in the automatic promotion positions. Being 2 points ahead of them with a game in hand Monaghan will be reasonably confident too. They're definitely in with a chance though no doubt.

If the rumours about Guthrie correct he woudlnt be a bad signing for us.

Not rumours at all. According to Foster he, Guthrie and Pats all want to make the move permanent. Would be a terrible signing for us as he hasn't had a good game. Can't understand it as every time he has played against us (Cobh, Galway, Pats) we haven't gotten a sniff from him.

Jay O'Shea and former player Richie Purdy's son training with us apparently.

Yeah I think so. Was with West Ham and has played under-age with Ireland at a few levels.

BOHtox

Hey guys ,

I have recently become a data reviewer with EA for the FIFA series. I have been put in charge of correcting the information based on the Irish teams.

So if you guys want to help , whether you think someone's stats to player appearance is wrong or if a new captain has been put in place then don't hesitate to leave a brief idea what is wrong. PM is preferable but a message here is fine too.


Look forward to your replies.

iregk

Keeping track of LOI sides? Good luck, can't say I envy that role...

Lucan Bohs

Brennan a d Ollie Cahill and some of the younger lads haven't been in FIFA since the season started also Hurley signed for us. Dunno if making new players is part of your job but anyway,,,

Anto McC

Don't know if it been mentioned but Dean Kelly to Shels on loan

Yup that's the stuff.
I'm sure there's more.
Attributes, graphics, squad numbers, set piece takers, captains, positions. Basically anything in team management.

Heard Des Kelly is no longer with bohs.

Bohtox i would suggest you make a template for squads and player skills and let fans fill it in.

Dont play the game but assume when you pick a team you get info like


Name
Stadium
Year
Manager
Formation
Tactic

And each player has

Name
Position
Height
Weight
Left/Right
Free Kick
Header
Speed
Defending
etc:


Post up all the attributes and let people copy paste and fill them in.

Would you trust LOI fans to give an unbiased report of their own player's attributes

Only if Shams agree to pay some of his wages, unlike what they wanted at the start of the season. Longford have also been mentioned.

Gavin "shels"

Bumped into Darren Forsyth on Friday night, said he's up training with Drogs but he's injured atm. That Drogs team isn't far from being an Reds rejects squad. Was always a fan of Brucie, and that amazing goal he scored against Longford a few years back.

Shaun Kelly released by us. Signed for Limerick apparently. In a bad season, he has been a real contender for our worst player.

Bohs have signed Aidan Downes on amateur terms

civis_liberalis

As per Sean Connor on the radio...

Greg Fleming going to Bradford, Karl Moore also going to England and Brian Cash (God he was terrible), Steve Feeney and Joe Yoffe have all left.

This in addition to Shaun Kelly being released and signing for Limerick.

We'll see another 3 going at least, but I'd say 4 or 5.

Sad to see, hopefully Galway pull through.

It's ironic that the same lies that got them promoted are the ones that will send them back down.

Galway United have not been relegated.

As bad as things are, at least Leeson is not around to do any more damage.

Not yet.

But it's difficult to see them finishing above tenth and the smart money would be on third in the First beating them in the play-off.

stovelid

Such a shame that a club that play nice ball, decent ground and a good catchment area are struggling. Would be great if more regional towns/cities had a Sligo and Cork thing going on.

The playoff is a one-off match with the Premier Division team having home advantage. Anything could happen.

Two words. Nick Leeson.

I can't see how a man with such a sparkling track record could cause such a mess. Just unlucky, I guess.

I know... I hear ya, but it has to be stressed that the people running the club right now had to put up with Leeson for years knowing (partly) the damage he was doing, but could do nothing as the club is a limited company.

The only reason Leeson stepped down in the end was probably because he ran out of options and wanted to hand it over so that GUST would be in charge when it fell apart.

GUST with fight tooth and nail before that happens.

BOHtox

Perhaps it's a discussion for another day but I'd love to see Mervue and Salthill drop down back to junior football and only have one team around Galway city. Then merge the two divisions (with the team finishing last not getting promoted into the new 18 team premier). In the premier you play each other twice. The season starts earlier ( mid feb) and ends later (start of november) and that way you rarely ever have two games in a week and there's plenty of room for delaying a fixture or two to assist the teams in Europe.

The team failing to get promoted is then joined in the first division by,now, junior clubs and A-team clubs ( Castlebar Celtic, FC Carlow, Cobh, Fanad United, Tralee Dynamoes and perhaps one south and one north tipperary team and also a Kilkenny team( there's potential there for a football team)

paddy978

Off topic but whats the story with Sean Kelly? Is he still with Glaway?
