in fairness the coleman deal is always said as £60k but its a few hundred thousand at this stage with appearance/international clauses and so on, still a bargain for everton though.

on the friendly, i wouldnt bet on it, went to the sligo friendly they had tied to colemans move, coleman played 10mins, Shane Duffy played, everyone else came from reserves/underage... basically unheard of, so put in a bring the first team clause their fans around me left feeling quite pissed off, not that sligo would care, decent crowd so got the money and they won easy

Ah I don't give a toss who plays, just wanna go on the lash in Tolka with my scouse cousins and uncles.

The Board/Jonny Mc have had this deal on their plate since February, they're going to make sure it's done right as it will be our first fee for a player in years.

I love Dermot Keely.

42,000 morons :pac:

Gavin "shels" · 19-05-2014 11:21PM

Dermot Keelys quotes back in 2007 with us were quality, this is up another level!

This is top TV

kksaints · 19-05-2014 11:24PM

That was entertaining!

Oat23 · 19-05-2014 11:37PM

What a terrible decision to give an offside against Brennan.

kksaints · 19-05-2014 11:48PM

Its been said before but the referee and lino quality is so low its worrying.

Russell and Zayed goals were crackers this week.

At least 3 or 4 not only bad, but shocking decisions every week

In that image, the UCD player is off the pitch, where Brennan is in relation to the UCD player in front of the keeper...hard to tell.....

Does him being off the pitch matter? He wasn't off injured, he fell out right before the pass. That would mean a defender could just jump off the pitch at any time to get an offside call, no?

The defender in front of the keeper wasn't playing him on BTW.

dfx- · 20-05-2014 01:07AM

From what I remember, the law/rule states specifically to deliberate actions - such as stepping off the field to catch someone offside, but here that doesn't seem to fit.

Either way, it's not a shocking decision by LOI standards. You wouldn't be campaigning for Hancock to return.

We had them over for a friendly in Dalymount 3 years ago, reasonable team out from them. All I really remember of it was Fellaini broke Keith Buckley's nose with one of his then world famous wild elbows when jumping for a header. Bisto scored against Tim Howard, and your man Vellios looked like a wonderkid.

EDIT: looking at that match report looks like most of the first team squad got some minutes

That friendly was played after the London riots and Everton were due to be playing Spurs and wanted game time as it was early season. Fellaini was brutal that day.

Bateman · 20-05-2014 10:04AM

Do they just moan about officials on that programme?

People need to get over the refereeing thing, it's excuse-making at its finest, particularly in Heary's case.

Considering he was out of contract shortly after, we did as well as possible out of Seamie. We'll never get over the lack of a sell on clause when he goes to Madrid for 100m!

That friendly was not part of the deal either, was arranged separately. There was a group of Everton fans standing near me abusing Fernando Torres.. Nobody was too upset when they left at half time.

On a seperate note Shane Duffy was awful that day and on every subsequent appearance in the showgrounds. He has no business being in the Ireland squad.

uch · 20-05-2014 03:10PM

The player on the ground off the pitch is considered in play unless he is receiving treatment for an injury, or the Ref has given him permission to be off the pitch (gear adjustment, etc) as leaving the pitch without the Ref's authority is a bookable offence. So IMO as a retired Junior ref, if Brennan was in line with the Keeper he should have been onside as the player on the ground was still in the Game.

ah thought it was. The old issue with all LOI players tho, short contracts, leaves us badly open to losing our better players for nothing. Given the fickle nature of fans though, a bad year and big fall in gates could leave clubs badly exposed though.

Duffy showed early promise, i dont think hes done anything tho since he got that bad in training. cant remember if that was before/after that game

The compensation system for under 23s is a big help here. It allows LoI teams to keep the short contracts for the young players, whilst having some protection. Over 23s, then, are generally unlikely to make the move over.

When Danny Morrissey, who's 20, was linked to a move to England in the off season. The estimated compensation for the move would have been 6 figures. A huge sum for a player that we didn't even have under contract at the time. Obviously, I'm happy that we kept such a promising young striker - his injury just better feck off, so he can start banging them in again!

How come Rovers got nothing for Shep when he went to Reading so?

Bateman · 20-05-2014 11:29PM

Sheppard isn't very young as far as I know and may just have been out of contract

He's actually only 23.

Bateman · 21-05-2014 04:01PM

...and the policy applies to U23s so maybe there's your answer. Maybe not, I remember looking this up a few years ago in relation to another player but the rules aren't as simple as you'd think they might be

He was obviously under 23 when he moved to Reading.

Have to be some retarded fcuktard to do this. Probably think they are cool and stuff.

Thats bad form

This DundalkFC mural which was on a main town thoroughfare was "vandalized" and painted pink to gain aprox 0.6 seconds of Giro D'Italia publicity on Italian/BBC TV by our local Town Council 2 weeks ago !!
