Careful posting that sort of fact around the internet, you probably heard it at an AGM/Club fans meeting or some madness like it :eek:

Harney and Stewart signed for our feeder club :pac: Liked both of them but never got enough game time with us to make an impression.

Stewart is possibly the fastest player i have ever seen.....ever. Hes quite famous almost 2 million hits on youtube

City captain quits Leeside over 'laughable' contract

Greg O’Halloran, the man who led Cork City to promotion to the Premier Division as champions, has quit the club, according the The Evening Echo.

The Crosshaven man , has turned down a new contract after failing to agree terms.

O'Halloran said: “We have gone our separate ways because I was unable to agree terms with the cub.

“To be honest, the terms were laughable and for a player who played over 60 games for the club, it’s a big disappointment.

“It’s a disgrace what I was offered having captained the team to promotion, but I know from experience that you never know what’s around the corner in this game,” said O’Halloran.

“I was offered a near 80% reduction in wages and, in a recession like this, that was just not feasible for me.

“I wish the club the best of luck for the season ahead but they will be doing it without me,” said O’Halloran, on the eve of the squad return to pre-season training.

City boss Tommy Dunne said he wished to thank Greg for his contribution over the last two years and wished him well on the business front.

Should I wait for someone else to make it up or should I just make it up now?

Rumour has it that Greg is coming to Rovers and we're sending Big Dan back down to City. A friend of a friend's dog seen O'Halloran with a briefcase full of cash outside Tallaght.

We're also rumoured to be interested in signing Jake Kelly, Ian Birmingham, Killian Brennan and re-signing Hawkins, Cherrie and Madden

Supposedly Hanley, Bermingham and Brennan are signed. Also heard John Dunleavey (Barnet) and Jimmy Keohane (Exeter) rumours to yous.

Hawkins seems to be going to Shams. Cherrie deciding between Shels and yourselves afaik.

Adding up to exactly our budget, i just wondered how you outbid us on certain players when you have a smaller budget.

We will have 18 players on 300 a week, our budget may increase if we get additional sponsorship from a certain investment company. But our 5500 is based on current sponsor and ticket sales and Euro monies.

Whats yours based on :pac:

You know our budget? You definitely must be on our Board, our budget won't be announced to anyone outside the Board/Matthews till our Fans' Forum.

€300 a week? Suppose with a name like Dreamers...!

Didn't yous make a loss on being in Europe last season?

Some value getting lads like this, Baz and Ger O'Brien all on 300 quid a week.

Don't forget Chambers, Fagan, Flynn and Kenny Browne (12 month decent wage contract at Waterford for €300 at Pats )

Greg having played under Kenny it would make some sense.

Harney solid young full back, played CB a few times. Decent player would have liked to have kept him.

Stewart is really really fast, some decent coaching and he could be a star in the making. Aaron O C knows what he is signing here, 2 decent young players but it could go either way with them. Would have liked to have kept him too.

Bray confirm a few signings

Bray Wanderers confirmed today that the following players have agreed terms and will be a part of Pat Devlin’s squad for 2012 Premier Division campaign.


Darren Quigley, Brian Kane, Daire Doyle, Colm Tresson, Kieran Marty Waters, Shane O Connor, Dean Zambra, Graham Kelly, Stephen Brennan, David Webster, Conor Butler, John Mulroy, and Pierce Sweeney have all committed to the club for the new season.

With thirteen players signed, Wanderers are expected to add to their squad in the coming weeks. Prior to these signings, Bray had looked a depleted side, having lost three key players to both lower divisions and newly promoted sides as well as two key players to fellow Premier Division side Dundalk.


Gary Dempsey agreed to sign for Waterford United last month, while Gary Shaw and Conor Murphy have put pen to paper on deals with Longford Town and Monaghan United respectively. The Lillywhites managed to capture the signatures of Chris Shields and Shane O’Neill to even worsen the Wicklow side’s situation.


Wanderers fans will hope that these bulk signings are the base for a successful campaign in the coming season.

Just been told a Mr. Dave Rogers and a Mr. Bobby Ryan will be lining out for Bohs tonight against the PFAI team!:D:D:D:D:D

The conspiracist would say it's convenient for the club captain position to be vacant and needing to be filled. I wonder who Cork would pick given the choice to fill the position with the wages saved from the ex-captain

The Volt

Shamrock Rovers have completed the signings of three more members of the club’s 2011 squad.

Sean Gannon, Dean Kelly and Conor McCormack have all signed new deals with the Hoops for the up-coming season.

Gannon (20) and Kelly (26) have penned one year deals, while McCormack (21) has signed for a further two years.

Gannon was drafted into the first team squad during the 2011 season having been part of the club’s Under 20s side, while Kelly and McCormack both signed for the club at the start of last season.

Particularly happy about McCormack.

It's either 3-0 or 3-2, got texts off two different people at the match just there, so one of them is drunk or just can't type.


EDIT: It's 3-2, Paul Byrne with one of the PFAI goals.

Still no statement from either the FAI or GUST. No news is good news at the moment as far as I'm concerned.

I was with him, we missed the start of both halves in the bar and somehow missed 2 goals

Poor enough from the PFAI team, looked badly out of shape.

Only 'cos he's too old for that under 19's team though.

Worrying to see Danny Joyce on that team sheet, he was on loan last year from Reading, came on as a sub a few times and was very unimpressive then on his first start got sent off for a leg breaking tackle in the first 5 minutes against Sligo. :rolleyes:

Plenty of information to come out of tonights match on the Shels forums.


Looks like it's not just a two horse race between Shels and Dundalk for Cherrie, he's meeting Stephen Kenny in the morning.


Two well respected and known Shels fans were sitting next to Martin Russell who was on the phone with Paul Corry saying Buckley is getting above himself looking to offer only 2 grand for Corry. Russell then phoned another within the College setup to say not to do any deal unless they agreed to 6 grand. Oh Dreamers?.........:D

Centre back we signed him from Crumlin after we beat them in FAI cup (literally the next day). Very good prospect so thats 6-3 to us and think you got the better long term value so far. If fcuking Lanigan goes next thats our 4 "expected" under 19s that would make the 1st team.

He came on a half time today, looks like he's more attacking then a centre back? Scored both of our goals in the 2nd half, both lovely finishes.

So if Corry signs for yous you'll be revealing the compenstation cost?

And I'd go back to whoever is feeding you the bullsh*t of €300 a week per people, someone is literally feeding you pure cow manure! Any idea who Buckleys backed is?

O Connor CF another decent prospect, he signed for us after we played Crumlin in fai cup :P

Reread the thread i posted who it was day after he was announced.

Also reread and understand "we have changed our method of payment to be more inline with the rest of the league".

If Corry signs 100% we will know what he cost, Buckley really really wants him tho. Do we have one of those tribunal things over here?

Just skimmed over this so sorry if someone's confirmed this already, but Rogers was there tonight - not playing, though. He was coaching the PFAI 'keepers

2 lovely goals, btw. Feckin' freezin', though

Sorry in advance

Richard Brush is giving up football to become an undertaker apparently

His football career's dead now.

Dont be having a dig at him

i think he's making a grave error

Can't believe he put in all that spade work only to bury his career like that.

Im sure he can exhume his career later in life.

I doubt it, he really has made an ash of this one. He's cremated any chance of being resurrected into a top side. It's not as if he can just reincarnate his talents after a few years out. He'll be so static.

stovelid

Cadaver good career ahead of him in that field.
