I've said it all along - ****e player, now signing for a team at his level. We dodged a bullet.Corinthians are top of the MSL, may be a tad above Denis.

McGann is just a trial as far as i know.
From what I hear has signed / is signing this week. Had trial already a couple of weeks back. Very good player, big, strong and young.

Nathan Murphy (Dundalk), Graham Kelly (Derby County and Bray), Mark Leavey (Dundalk), Danny O'Boyle (not sure who he played for) and
Cillian Corcoran (monaghon united) all played for Athlone tonight and all are expected to sign.
Gamble is a coach with them so if he isn't playing LOI it's not too strange of a move.
We released him and he turned down Corks offer so he must not have felt LOI was worth his while outside of either of us.
Apparently he called our offer '****e' so obviously didn't see it as worth the effort. Just happy he didn't sign for us.

Two good signings for Cobh.
Malky Thomson confirmed also as our new assistant manager.

Where's this?
He mentions having spoke to Peter Hutton around 30:50 but I can't see us being able to pay him enough to make it worth him moving, especially given comments earlier along the lines of it being wrong that players are doing pre-season without being paid.

Thanks. Yeah, can't see him coming up here with the money we'd be giving him unless someone wants to give him their spare room or something!

And he wonders why he can't get a deal...

Pizza Hutton was saying he was talking to a few big name players who were asking for too much money, I'd imagine he meant O'Flynn.
EDIT: O'Flynn has actually tweeted that he finds out this weekend if he signs for Harps or not.

If he was to stay relatively injury free he could be a massive player in harps push for promotion.

We are in bad need of strikers but I could still see him signing back with ye first.

Supposed to have had a bust up with tommy and the deal is off! Pity cause he is a decent striker when got.

Seems very strange. He was nearly signed for ye yesterday. How bad of a bust up could there have been in talks?

He might have got sick of Tommys boring boring voice and finally snapped.

It was a training growing bust up, noting to do with money, more about his attitude

Decent signing, will do a very good job in the 1st div.

There's no official confirmation of the Kavanagh signing yet, but very strong rumours from people who are generally very reliable.
I'd be very happy with him on board, following the signing of Michael Coady yesterday, who's a fantastic leftback.

Davin O'Neill been linked a lot with Ramblers at the minute, would be some signing

Davin was offered a contract by limerick but couldn't give the commitment needed with work and family so it's looking like ramblers would suit his situation and he's a cobh lad so that's looks like happening alright

Behan and Dan Murray signed for Cork. Going by the majority of cork fans neither will be good signings in their eyes.

Not really, I still don't want him. I think it's a terrible signing.
Tommy Dunne is the one who'll have egg on his face when this inevitably flops.

I think that he is actually a very good signing and will work very well with dayrl Kavanagh, perfect little and large combo!!!

Craig Sexton off to Waterford from us apparently. Young GK. Excited a few years ago when he first came on to the seen but seems to have lost his way a bit. Maybe first team football, if he gets it, will see him re-find his form
We've also signed Stephen Paisley from Shels.
Any use?

Cobh Ramblers signings: Davin O'Neill, John Meade, Conor Meade, Brian Fitzgerald, Andrew Bhandarkar, Martin Deady, Alan O Flynn, Gary Collins, Jonathan Spillane, Robert Birdsall (GK).

Nice team so far for Ramblers. They should do well enough and certainly won't be whipping boys.

We needed a third striker but definitely a case of sloppy seconds (thirds even) after the Purcell deal fell through.
Although not sure Purcell was ever signing for us, using us again to leverage a better deal for himself.
Dan Murray was always going to sign up, good pro to have around but Kev Murray and Dennehy will be starting centre halves with Kalen third then Dan.

Nope. Deal was pretty much done, money wasn't an issue.

Surely Noel Spillane wasn't at fault?

Down here training anyway at the moment, hasn't signed yet as far as i know, has looked good in training tho, probably will be number 1 if he signs.
