July Transfers 2009

[Martinho II]

First mention I have of Rushie playing is in 1999.

in that case hes probably better off having a break.. I remember that happened with our own Stephen Kelly seven years ago when he was out of football for seven months

[Sam_Heggy]

Finn Harps out:

Sean Houstan - for a signing on fee of a scholorship, wonder does this show up on the football sides accounts?

Terrific signing, he has missed our last 5 games through injury and we have only picked up one point. Huge loss to Harps.

:confused:

If you mean is the cost of the scholarship a cost for UCD AFC as opposed to the college, then yes, it is.

A number of players have left Wexford Youths in recent weeks including top scorer Gavin Doyle. Also gone are Johnny Flynn O'Connor, Marty Kelly, Liam O'Loughlin and Stuart Lawlor.

Gavin Doyle has apparently left "for a number of small reasons", Johnny Flynn (who was outstanding early in the season) has gone back to GAA and the others have left to concentrate on studies or returned to junior football.

In

Barry Andrews (Skerries Town)
Please tell me he's not the former UCD keeper?!

Also previously with Glebe North, Leyton Orient and QPR?

[Dillonman]

Not that it really matters, George O'Callaghan went to Yeovil and is dropped already!

[prince20]

Please tell me he's not the former UCD keeper?!

Also previously with Glebe North, Leyton Orient and QPR?

I have never heard of him but if it is the same guy would he be recommended???

[Schumi]

I have never heard of him but if it is the same guy would he be recommended???

Only to clubs we don't like!

[prince20]

Only to clubs we don't like!

From what i have seen of Athlones keepers this season he will fit right in so!!!!!!!!!

[pineapple stu]

I have never heard of him but if it is the same guy would he be recommended???
No. Made our Worst XI with no debate at all. Paul Doolin signed him purely because he'd been in England for a while; offered him a contract without ever watching him play.

[Battery Rover]

Please tell me he's not the former UCD keeper?!

Also previously with Glebe North, Leyton Orient and QPR?

Yes thats the one

[pineapple stu]

Sorry to hear that.

Maybe he's improved in the meantime.

[Battery Rover]

Sorry to hear that.

Maybe he's improved in the meantime.

Why does that make me really worried?

[pineapple stu]

And I didn't even see his one senior game for us. :)

[Acornvilla]
