Alan Reynolds reveals Bohemians' new strategy for upcoming transfer window, a different approach to last season
ALAN REYNOLDS revealed that any summer shopping is likely to be done at home rather than abroad. Bohemians host Derry City tomorrow looking for a win that would mean at least third place by the midway point in the Premier Division campaign. 2 A lot of work for Alan Reynolds over the 'break' 2 Bohs will be without Sean Grehan who is returning to Crystal Palace after his loan And with the transfer window just a month away, Rennie acknowledged that his phone will start buzzing soon. Bohs already know that on-loan defender Seán Grehan will be returning to Crystal Palace, and Reynolds predicts others may also depart. But while keen to strengthen, he admitted that he will look around the League of Ireland as players arriving from the UK are out of season and take time to get fit. That proved an issue last term when Bohemians' form suffered, though they are reaping the benefits this term instead. Read more on irish football Reynolds said: 'We signed four or five and it was extremely difficult for them. 'Ross Tierney and Dawson Devoy being two, Leigh Kavanagh — it took us ages to get them up to speed and then they were breaking down with niggles and the season ends. "It's only when we got a big pre-season into them . . . and that's why we came back early, for the likes of those. It's a challenge and something you need to be careful of. 'I'd also say that the players want to stay in the UK first before coming, so we'll see then if players in this country become available.' Most read in Football But the boss knows the work will begin soon if it has the potential to ruin his short mid-season holiday. Rennie joked: 'It's nice to go away but the f***ing phone will be going non-stop! Painful moment cheeky Chelsea star grabs team-mate's privates in X-rated celebration after Conference League triumph 'Last year we were trying to sign Ross Tierney, so this was all going on over this period and everyone was cracking up. 'We got it done eventually but that was nearly my full summer break last year — but it was worth it.' And while he suspects his phone will keep ringing, he has told his own players to switch off and recharge — but not overdo it either. His squad may have six days off after tomorrow, but there are demands. The players will be weighed before they depart and will still have fitness programmes to keep up. Drill sergeant Reynolds explained: 'We have spoken to them about these things. I suppose it's just to threaten them a little bit and behave themselves. 'They are young lads. I think we have all done it, so they need to relax.' And the Dalymount supremo admits his ideas of fitness have changed since he was a player. BACK IN MY DAY Reynolds, 50, said: 'When I was playing for Waterford, I was working on the drinks lorry, delivering drink. 'It was like my gym exercise, going upstairs with crates of drink, beer, whatever. That was my gym stuff and I didn't know it at the time! 'But now it's changed so much. In fairness when I signed for Shelbourne with Pat Fenlon, it was starting to come in, gym stuff and whatever. 'You have to read the room as well as a manager, reading the room to see what works and what doesn't.' But before Bohs head off, he is keen that they wrap up the first half of the season with a victory that would make it seven wins from the last nine, after just three in the opening nine. Rennie, a former Derry City No 2, added: 'The first series of games wasn't good enough. We played well at times and we were bad at times. The points total wasn't good enough with three wins. 'We have improved and I think confidence is everything. 'We have a way of playing and players have grown into it and have had a good second series of games — but it will be a really good one if we win on Friday. 'We are finding that level of consistency but Derry are a tough test looking at a lot of their games. 'They are really good and we know what we're facing.'

"When I woke up one day, I remember my calf was swollen, and I went to the hospital, and they said, 'Oh, no, no, it's not a blood clot, it's just like a mosquito bite', and then I was like, 'Okay'. "You trust your doctor... sometimes you have to question two, three times, I'm learning that." Arthur's situation went from bad to worse after being sent home from the hospital. read more on the irish sun He explained: "So I took this tablet, nothing happened, left, and it was still swollen. Two weeks later, my calf was so, so big, and it was burning. "It was like somebody had a lighter on my calf. I woke up, and Brian laughed, he was like, 'Oh, come on, you're so dramatic, you're fine', I was like, 'Trust me, I know my body, as a dancer, there's something wrong here'."

'IT WAS GOING TO MY LUNG' Arthur was told that if he waited a few more days, he "would never survived". He added: "It was going to my lung, and to my heart and once a blood clot goes to your heart, you'll die, there's no saving, so you go heart attack - die. "So she said, 'Thank God you came'. I had to have injections, lots of injections and I took the tablets for six months and I've been fine, because I'm active. "All my life, I turned 40, I was so active, I was so fit and then suddenly, Covid happened, and we did nothing, so I was eating, and take-aways, and that heaviness, and no exercise, obviously, I probably had a problem, but it can happen to anybody, it's just a blood clot." Speaking about feeling "neglected" on his initial visit, he added: "It was the first time, they didn't do the right test, it was too rushed. "But I guess it was the momentum of COVID, and everything, they're just like, 'Okay, you just probably have a bite'." 4 Arthur is doing a 28 day fitness challenge Credit: Instagram

‘You're winding me up' says Ireland AM star as Tommy Bowe leaves co-hosts fuming during housing discussion
IRELAND AM star Tommy Bowe left his shocked co-hosts fuming during a heated discussion on air. The Virgin Media star and his co-hosts 4 Muireann, Tommy and Alan spoke about housing issues in Ireland Credit: VMTV 4 Muireann and Alan challenged Tommy's opinion on air Credit: VMTV 4 Tommy argued with Muireann and Alan Credit: VMTV While reading out the daily paper headlines, the three presenters spoke about housing issues in Ireland. It was revealed this week that the average rent nationwide in the first quarter of 2025 was €2,053 a month, according to the latest Rental Report published by This means that Ireland has seen one of the largest three-month increases in two decades. Speaking about this matter, Alan said: "You just find it hard to believe that we we talk about this all the time and you go, 'No it can't get it can't get higher, it can't get higher', and then it just does." read more on ireland am Reading out a viewer's message, Tommy added: "I mean Patrick's saying the root cause of high cost of rent and prices is all down to one thing - greed. And to be fair when the demand is there the prices are going to go up..." Muireann attempted to interrupt Tommy to give her two cents, but the former rugby player didn't stop talking. He said: "But at the same time, landlords don't have to be looking, you know, pushing prices up price. There could be a bit of goodwill out there but because the demand is there." read more on the irish sun Muireann, who had tried to butt into the conversation multiple times, finally got a word in as she responded to Tommy saying: "You talk about building houses. It's all well and good building houses but if all those houses go up on Airbnb what's the point? It's not servicing the people." Ireland AM stars confront TD on air Tommy and Alan both in unison said they're not "all" doing that. Muireann got passionate as she replied: "But they are! Lads, on my road there's places where nurses used to live in like four houses. They're all Airbnbs now." Tommy challenged her saying: "But again, that's all demand Muireann." Muireann stuck to her guns and added: "It's not demand." Tommy replied: "They're not empty." DIVIDED STARS The Limerick native said: "Well no, they're not but they're servicing tourists because they're making way more money rather than the nurses who have this tiny pot to pay for rent and they're going, 'Whatever'." Tommy didn't budge on his opinion and said: "If they build more houses they'll be able to house the nurses and house the tourists." Muireann disagreed and said: "Not if they go on Airbnb. I don't think so." Alan then read out a viewer's message that spoke about how students living in Galway are paying high rents but are still told to go home on the weekends so that that the landlord can "rent to tourists". 'ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING' The Ballyfermot native said: "I can't see how anybody's getting away with this. That is absolutely shocking. "I would love to know the people the landlords who are doing that they should be named and shamed. they should be regulations. That is absolutely disgraceful." Tommy remarked: "The students are probably going home on the weekend, the house is empty?" Alan and Muireann looked unimpressed with Tommy's justification of the situation. Tommy laughed and said: "Oh the look on the two of you." The three hosts then swiftly moved on from the topic. However, the issue was brought up a second time during a segment later on in the show - and this time Tommy left his co-hosts completely speechless. 'DISGRACEFUL' After reading out another viewer's message about her daughter renting in Galway who also is told to leave her accommodation on Friday until Sunday evening, Tommy said: "It's crazy but at the same time there are people renting it. "Like there's no hotel rooms so where are the tourists meant to go?" Alan was completely taken back and said: "Tommy you're asking these people to leave their rooms!" Tommy replied: "I'm not asking. They are doing it." Alan said: "These people should be called out. That is absolutely disgraceful." Muireann told Tommy that she knows he wants to "wind her up". Tommy further annoyed his co-hosts when he pointed out that there's a "demand" for tourism accommodation. He added: "I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm just saying that there is a shortage of places for tourists to stay." Alan and Muireann shouted at him saying "so", and asked him why he cares more about "tourists more than students". The two shocked stars kept going back and forth with Tommy but couldn't come to an agreement. 4 Alan was taken back by Tommy's opinion Credit: VMTV
