I don't think Fergie could do the job now for the LOI. He would be far too slow. Although if you can get the ball in the box he will score goals, but he would ever little else, not very mobile any more.

I would have kept him at Windsor as an Impact sub.

Gault signs new Linfield contract

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45828000/jpg/_45828416_gault_226.jpg Michael Gault has agreed to stay at Windsor Park for another three years

Midfielder Michael Gault has ended speculation about a move from Linfield by signing a new three-year full-time contract with the Windsor Park club.

There had been reports that the 26-year-old could be on his way to League of Ireland champions Bohemians.
Gault, from Lisburn, was also a target for newly-promoted Portadown.

"Michael took a while to deliberate but has said he wants to be here and nowhere else," manager David Jeffrey told the Linfield website.

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif
"I made it consistently clear that I did not want Michael to leave Windsor Park.
"He had a difficult year with injuries but at the tail end of the season I think we saw the real quality of Michael Gault.
"I am delighted he has committed himself to Linfield by signing this new three-year deal."
Gault made his international debut in March 2008 in a friendly against Georgia.

Great news for Linfield, good player and would get on most teams. Lets hope him, Lowry & Mulgrew for a great midfield next year. Not to mention Garrett and Curran. Our centre is very strong.

Just need stronger wings.

Is this the guy who gave Foster a bollocking when he was substituted in Oriel?

No that Was Mike MacGrath , edwards came on a sub in that game

Rumours Declan Edwards has been let go by us due to disciplinary problems

It could have had a lot to do with Stockport going bust.

It has nothing to do with Stockport going bust and more to do with his attitude.

Institute youngster Paul Lowry (19), relative of Philip, is said to be weighing up his options for next season. Having played for Letterkenny Rovers and Kildrum Tigers, Lowry moved to Institute last season with hope of cementing a first team place, but instead found himself on the fringes. John Gregg holds him in high regard, but Lowry is said to be impatient and wants first team football. Apparently N.Ireland first division teams, Carrick Rangers and Limavady United are interested but I'm not sure if a move to a lower division team, even for first team football, would be beneficial in the Irish game. With his history in the Ulster Senior League with Letterkenny Rovers, Finn Harps are also aware of his potential.

That was Mike McGrath, and it wasn't Foster he was giving the bollocking to, it was something to do with what happened on the pitch he was giving out about it

Christy Doran (ex Dundalk)
Dean Barrett (Monaghan)
Darren Kelly (Crumlin Utd)
Adam McGarry (Bohemians)
Darren O�Brien and David Jackson, both from LSL.
Davy Byrne, (ex Finn Harps)
Badly needed. Philly Hughes and Davy Byrne look like good signings. Are they eligible to play straight away?

They are available tomorrow but ridiculously they aren't available for the cup game next week because players have to be signed 14 days before the cup game and because they couldn't be signed until June 1st, they aren't eligble!!

Couple of players very close to joining us according to the club. Word around Oriel on Friday night is that an unnamed Scottish striker whose name was eventually leaked, one Stephen Dobbie, ex Rangers, Hibs, St Johnstone and Queen of the South Striker who has banged in 20 odd goals the past two seasons in the Scottish 1st Division along with an unnamed Latvian defender and another Scottish defender James Crainey who is a left full.

Paul McAreevey has app joined us according to Linfield and the BBC.

According to wikipedia stephen dobbie has signed for Swansea city

Swansea City

On 7th May 2009 it was confirmed on the Swansea City website that Dobbie would move to the club in summer 2009. It was advised the move was subject to a medical at the Liberity Stadium
He passed this medical on Friday May 22 and signed a three-year deal with the south west Wales club

Hence I said word coming out of Oriel, didnt say I had a top class source from withing the ground! His nam was thrown about the other night, I dont really know where the lad is now or whatever so if hes joined Swansea hes joined Swansea

Quote: (Earlier thread on Dundalk increasing admission prices)

Rumour going around is George O'Callaghan has left to join a team in Greece and the rest of players have to take 30% pay cut so the mst be in serious trouble if the club still needs to increase prices

gufc200, the difference is that when you use unreliable sources (be they inside your own head or from the Galway forum) and then start speculating or drawing your own conclusions, like "the club must be in serious trouble", it is inevitable that you will get roasted.

Particularly as you have developed a bit of a history for this (for example, you recently claimed Dundalks wage bill was €17k !)

I could simply now just start up a rumour that Ian Foster is going to be sacked for poor performances and Jay O'Shea has fallen out with the whole Galway squad because hes ego driven! See its easy!

We're not exactly too stressed out about it, point is that why post something as ludacris as that when its completly untrue, our attendances have been at least 200 every game to dat, shop sales are up, bar is raking money in and the fact that it was almost immediately in the press the next day when Sligo, Galway, Drogs, Cork and Pats all had cash flow problems last year and yet there was nothign re us until a post about it was said on another clubs forum that Dundalk are having problems and must cut the budget.

Rogers got sacked for being a clown and Georgie boy couldnt handle the abuse he was getting left right and centre on and off the pitch.

cronin was in the running the last time the job was vacant( when alan gough got it). It was probably too soon for him after Waterford but I was talking to one of the interviewers today that met him last night in Mullingar and he said that he means business this time. I get the impression he wont suffer fools gladly. He seems hungry and focused for the job ahead.
