This is great news.maybe the final piece of the Jigsaw and with Aaron supposedly on his way back we now have no excuses.We can now leave Darragh in the middle of a field somewhere and hope he dosen't find his way back or sell him to Athlone.Our full strenght team should now be in my opinion
Digger
Murph, Barry, Maccer, Dillo
Kirbs, Fitzy, Vinny, Pruns
Baker, Francis

Subs : Lavine, Barrett, Pip, Byrne, Garto, Martin, Paiso, Dempsey
I know there is no Keegan on my selection but i think he just isn't good enough.

I'd swop Vinny for Gartland or Paisley

I'd have Pip in there with Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald will be the physical one, Pip the ball player, his main flaw is that he's not strong enough so witha bit of steel alongside him he could really come into his own

I just assumed he was more of ball playing midfielder due to his goal scoring record (which seemed pretty good for a midfielder). If he's more of a physical player then Pip alongside would be ideal...

From what I can gather he's got a bit of both about him. Big chap, 6'1'', 13st 10lb when he was measured and weighed at training, fit as a fiddle apparently. All signs look promising, he was the best player on the field by a mile when we played Portadown according to those that were there.Ran the show
