Craig Walsh

[howsyourtouch]

heard we are ment to have signed craig walsh from rovers! for those of you thinkin you have heard his name before he was on the show on sky 1 couple of months back, the next football star one playing for a contract with inter!he got to the final 3!

[Longfordian]

Sounds plausible, probably would be on loan to get him some football. We have strong Rovers connections these days, on the field anyway.

[howsyourtouch]

no heard he has actually signed and its not just another loan deal from rovers!

[Longfordian]

Oh right, hopefully he can make an impact for us.

[Jofspring]

Was just talking about him while watching the match. He looked decent on the program and only for homesickness Jamie Redknapp and the Inter scout thought he would have won the contract as he was easily the best player.

[Tallanted]

Its a loan deal, signed yesterday morning. Victor Don and Craig are on loan, Oladele is permanent signing. Craigs move has been in the pipe line for a couple of months.

[Longfordian]

Was thinking Rovers would want to keep hold of him for the future alright. Cheers Tallanted.

[Cabs88]

as posted above seems like a good player, only saw bits of the programme, but he impressed whenever I saw him on it. hopefully he can be a good acquisition for us..

[howsyourtouch]

i stand corrected,was just going on what i heard because when i heard about it first thing i asked was it a loan deal and was surprised when heard it was perminent!

[outspoken]

A fantastic signing I watched that program every week and he looked a fine prospect........Its young players like him you want to see brought in because they will give their all trying to make a name for themselves.

was wondering what what the fuss was on facebook yesterday about this new signing. It is a hell of a loan signing thats for sure. whats his position and is he eligible to play tonight does anyone know?

[Tallanted]

He was on bench tonight didnt come on his transfer only went through today,great win solid performance, goals from Lee roche and Jay oladele.

[Longfordian]

Delighted with that result tonight Wexford were on a good run at home and our away record has been crap.

[Tallanted]

Walsh was named in irish u19 squad on Wednesday for 2 upcoming games, forgot to stick that in

All the texts I got from three different people said it was chris deans that got the first goal but aertel and the papers had Roche and you have Roche too. So who is correct as I believe the stadium announcer said it was Chris Deans?:confused:

You can be sure airtel is wrong especially when it come's to Twn games and Deans goal's not the first time they took a goal away from him

[Longfordian]

Extratime had Roche touching in Deans' shot. Definitely Roche's goal was what they said. Doesn't particularly matter anyway.

[Tallanted]

Lee roche said in clubhouse after that he scored it, that's good enough for me. deans had the shot alright but roche finished it

[Cabs88]

as regards craig walsh, its fair to say we havnt seen the best in him however he has been called up to the Irish U-19 squad, so well done craig

[howsyourtouch]

fair play for getting called up to the under 19's! great achievement and congratulations

on a side note, how the hell does someone not playing more than 10 mins a week get into a national side!?

maybe its because he was in the under19 squad before he joined us..

[howsyourtouch]

thats fair enough point, its a good achievement just wondering thats all. michael lee would have been good enough for under 19 international 2 years ago, wonder why these players never get the recognition they deserve.

He could be playing under 20's or A Championship or both for his Club while he's trying to break into the first team.
He was doing that at Rovers .

[howsyourtouch]

he is doing neither of the above, one longford dont have an A championship side, and two the first team management in all their wisdom wont release any of the players from the 1st team squad who are underage for the 20's to play,god forbid they actually got a run out of 90minutes of football!

Pity,though I was just answering your original question of how he got into the Irish team.:)

[howsyourtouch]

ah yeah i know that!you would think it was the case but unfortunately not!

[Tallanted]

He was called into the u19 squad the same week or the week after he signed on loan for us (cant remember the exact week), he played two warm up friendlies for them against Ukraine in Morton Stadium and Frank Cook Park a few weeks ago and put in two great performances for them thus earning his place in the u19 squad.

[howsyourtouch]

thats fair enough, just wanted it explained how someone not playing regular football could get picked for a national side! if this case make some sense

[Tallanted]

He was a regular for Rovers 20s and A championship when we signed him

[outspoken]

Fair play to craig he scored a header for Ireland VS Luxembourg yesterday in a 5-0 win for the boys in green
