PFAI Watch

[Charlie Darwin]

Refused to go in goals as the glove didn't fit.

Weird, you'd think he'd be honoured to be called to the bar.

[Martinho II]

his introduction was brief to say the least.

[SkStu]

...any word how the solicitor played ?

Hard to judge unless you're there.

[Yossarian]

...any word how the solicitor played ?

The jury's out......

[Charlie Darwin]

Dunno bout that, Trevor Croly is probably having tapes of the game couriered to Tallaght quick smart via the PFAI considering all his main targets have fallen over themselves not to sign.

However, the opposition remain the slicker unit. Central midfielder Patrick Byskata, who has been recommended to Shamrock Rovers, is solid in the centre of the park and the DVD will be making its way to Hoops' boss Trevor Croly.

Would that not be the last game you'd watch a DVD of to assess a player? Surely it'd make a lot more sense to find ones where the players are in actual competitive games for their clubs. I appreciate that that's probably not possible in all cases (Coll for example) but if a player has been at any decent level getting a few should be possible.

While I was being flippant of course it is getting predictable with TC and Rovers. Director of Football yet to be announced to assist Croly and to free up time for him to help the development of U19s involved in the 1st Division squad - but he of course will still be the man in charge of 1st team affairs and player acquisition!!?

Croly keeping the job ( sorry career) in his local video library so he has something to do when Nutsey arrives out in Mordor shrewd move

[OldNassau]

It would be interesting to find out where all the players that played in Norway for the PFAI end up and how many actually get sorted out. Maybe the PFAI should publish this on their website before the season starts.

[eitoof]

Some are fixed up since, aren't they?
Don Cowan's with Longford.

[Jofspring]

Don Cowan - Longford
Mark Griffin -Dundalk

[Conroy]

Tiernan Mullvenna - Glenavon

[eitoof]

John Sullivan - Shels
Tiernan Mulvenna - Glenavon
Dean Kelly - Ballinamallard (not sure if confirmed)

[Fivesilver]

Mulvenna's done well out of it so - two clubs.

[Mr A]

According to the LOI Blog Conor Powell has secured a move to Vard in Norway.

[Longfordian]

Yeah the PFAI were crowing about that. The Norwegian third tier, can't imagine it's up to much.

[Charlie Darwin]

It's mad thinking back about 4 years and Trapattoni mentioning him as a possible international.

[gufcfan]

Yeah the PFAI were crowing about that. The Norwegian third tier, can't imagine it's up to much.

The third tier which has 4 regional divisions.

[Jofspring]

Wow the third tier of Norwegian football. Surely that is way below the standard here?
