2014 Squads

[**FrOsTy**]

Add Kynan Rocks (Cobh) to Waterford United signings.

Really excited with his signing. Looked really good against us last year. A good season or 2 with us could see him off to England.

If he'd only stay on his feet and stop watching too much Sky sports he'd be a cracking player. Awful habit of diving any time I seen him.

[Pablo Escobar]

Danny Morrissey signs back with Cork City. Delighted!

[adamd164]

Massive for us to re-sign him, thought we'd lost him when he went to England on trial. Also turned down Rovers.

[avvenalaf]

No. Rovers were never after him. Heard he turned down Shams, though.

Who had the Rovers moniker first then avvenalaf?

[El-Pietro]

Furlong leaves Cork City. Can someone update our squad list when they have a chance.

Morrissey is a decent player, I'm sure it will alternate between him and Rafter to partner Elding. I read Morrissey was saying top 4 is the target, think that might be a tall order, prob need to beef up the defence and add a few mf's?

In saying that i think Cork should be solid enough though, but its going to be a big year for Caulfield mind.

[Pablo Escobar]

Morrissey will be the first name on the team sheet upfront. It will be Elding or Rafter to partner him IMO. It will probably be Elding.

Some what youthful look about Shelbourne's squad for next season so far, I'll take it a lot of them are members of their U19 Squad?

[Briuk]

Waterford is signing Wexford players just to try to make them disappear.

Of course Im joking but if last year they had problems to make the numbers and some games they didn't have enough players to fill up the bench, I don't know how are they going to do it this year.

Was watching their under 19's team today and was surprised to hear that only 1 or 2 of them have been called up to the senior squad for next season so I assume Keegan has something in mind let it be local players or something else.

[Mr A]

Wexford announce 17 man squad:

Graham Doyle, Craig McCabe, Jimmy Dermody, Stephen Last, CJ Browne, Shane Nolan, Shane Dunne, Ricky Fox, Craig Wall, Eric Molloy, Aidan Keenan, Sean Skelly, Danny Fitzpatrick, Daragh Walshe, Danny Furlong, Dean Broaders, Graham Delaney.

[Mr A]

With Shannon, Salmon and Rice in their squad Longford could generate some great headlines this year.

[White Horse]

Dundalk:

Peter Cherrie

Mark Rossiter
Andy Boyle
Brian Gartland
Dane Massey
Sean Gannon

Richie Towell
Stephen O'Donnell
John Mountney
Kurtis Byrne
Daryl Horgan
Chris Shields
Darren Meenan

Pa Hoban
David McMillan
Ciaran O'Connor

[oriel]

Would Kurtis Byrne not be considered more an attacker, albeit in the wide role?

Also not sure if young O'Connor would make the bench just yet, also if Higgins signs as expected tomorrow, and possibly Keith Ward if he can prove his fitness, SK may consider Shields for defensive cover, but he had a fine second half of 2013 as a MF, and a very improved one at that.

If Higgins and Ward sign that will take it to 18 + O'Connor if he gets into the first squad, I think that will be the budget spent and the rest.

8 defenders, 2 for each position, maybe he wont bring in any more? I'd be very worried with injuries in that regard as Deans wouldnt be able to fill in for a huge amount of games and you cant expect an under 19 player to come in and not make mistakes so defo 1 if not 2 more CB's needed. That team is also crying out for a winger.

[Longfordian]

Rice can play CB if it's necessary. Tyrell can play there too. Agreed on the need for a winger but there's still one or two to come in yet I'd say.

[Dodge]

Rice isn't moving to Longford to play out of position. I'd imagine he'd have looked for some sort of guarantees from Cousins

[nigel-harps1954]

Rice isn't moving to Longford to play out of position. I'd imagine he'd have looked for some sort of guarantees from Cousins

The only guarantee there is that when Longford start to completely sh!t the nest, their top players, such as Rice and Sullivan will be the first dropped to the bench for someone brought in from whoever is bottom of the table. It's almost as if Cousins loves running away with the league half way through the season, get's bored, and decides he prefers losing the play-offs.

You're more likely to see Sully at centre-half than Rice.

What in the name of **** sort of ****e are you talking Nidge?

I'm sure Rice and Sullivan (and all other players in the squad for that matter) will/won't be in the starting 11 depending on their respective form and fitness at any given time during the season. Guaranteeing they'll be dropped when we "**** the nest". Christ.

[Longfordian]

You're more likely to see Sully at centre-half than Rice.

True, he played there a bit in his previous spell with us and was very good, though obviously that's a good while ago. I thought you meant Davy O'Sullivan there for a minute had to stop and remind myself we've another Sully. Cousins does some strange things tactically but nothing quite like that.

I'd imagine he'll be an automatic choice in centre midfield but I meant in case of an emergency.

[Charlie Darwin]

Nottingham Forest are currently playing a centre-half as first-choice striker so stranger things have happened. Perhaps Cousins sees him as a modern-day Chris Sutton. That's a good point about the names though. You wouldn't want to be mixing up your Sullys next year, especially with Pat's short fuse. I assume, like Ricer, that Pat got certain guarantees in his contract with regard to Sully naming rights. I'd expect a statement from the club shortly.

No number 4 yet. Must be waiting for that final Galactico at centre back to be announced.

Not a centre back. You heard it here first.

Few enough defenders there and Roddy Jnr will be going to Manchester City/United in August. Don'e believe me? Ask his father.

Is Roddy Jnr actually any use at all? I think I've only seen him play once and he didn't stand out one way or another that night.

[ATFC-1887]

He started out shocking bad for us. Had some good games during our unbeaten run. Will do nothing in the premier though.
