He is one of the best keppers in Ireland. Best of luck to him but it's sad to see him go. We have signed the Barbabos DF Kepper to replace Ciaran I'm not sure what his name is:confused:

And you're hearing this where? AFAIK, Martyn, although he had a verbal agreement with Shels, now wants to stay with us.

[eamoss]

Got it from Shelbournefc.ie

[brendy_éire]

He hasn't signed yet. He had a pre-contract agreement with Shels, but said that he now wants to stay with us. He's out of contract on 1st January, so I guess we'll see then.

Seen him play against Kildare in the League Cup, he was impressive Sligo have got a good young striker now, who should do well in the First division. Mind you Dermot Keely only put out a second string that day, saying the League matches were much more important. Silke was also good in that game, scored a goal before been injured. Is he gone to Sligo as well?

Im delighted to see two really nice guys getting sorted for the coming season. I had a brief chat with John at the end of season party, although he wasn't at the club that long, and was the only player who didn't feature in the side, he knows that all the club were behind him. Players, Management & Supporters.

Robbie, I'm delighted for him, he made a huge contribution to City Championship push, and I would like to wish both players and Dundalk the best of luck in the first division next season.

[Dave drummerboy]

Thanks for the support there , hope you lot have a good run , looks like we are building a decent team with more ne wplayers on the way wacth out dundalk are hopefully back in business

[eamoss]

I would say John Browne & Ciaran Quinn are going to be on the bench John Browne is going to have a really hard job to get the No1 jersey off Chris Bennion & is going to have a hard job getting the on the bench with Daniel Woods getting better & better with the U-21s. Ciaran Quinn is are 6th forward!!

[Macy]

Think I heard on the radio on my way into this shít hole that Spock and the Gypos have signed Keddy from the Homeless on a 2 year deal.....
