David Cassidy signs for Athlone. Fantastic signing.

If ever there was a player ye needed it's him. Those young lads need a leader like him. Very inexperienced squad judging by what was on show today.

big time. they could make top five this season, faherty is a key signin for them!

[Market's Field]

Can't see them finishing in top 5 if last night's performance is anything to go by

[Jofspring]

Ya I wouldn't take too much from last night as it was a friendly but they looked very sloppy defensively and weren't very threatening going forward.

[Battery Rover]

Absolute nightmare to work with from what i hear. As soon as Mathews was appointed he threw his toys out of the pram and left. Too far up his own arse

[nigel-harps1954]

Interesting that you'd note Foley as throwing the toys out of the pram, but replace him with Rob Maloney who threw a hissy fit at Cabinteely last year and walked away from them.

[ATFC-1887]

Don't see why thats interesting. I didnt know about Maloney. Just saying what i know about Foley.

Rob Maloney walked out of Cabinteely mid-season. Daddy Maloney was a financial backer at Cabo, didn't like how things were going, so himself and Rob went in and told them 'money or get rid of Gormley'. Gormley stayed with the backing of the club, Maloneys f**ked off. Acted the spoiled child when things didn't go his way and walked.

[outspoken]

Agree with Nigel here and it's not like he's the only player that wouldn't work under Mathews he's far from popular with a lot of players.

Mathews released Foley from Shels a few years back so probably history there.

Sure its Alan Mathews, you wouldn't be human if you didn't throw your toys out of the pram if you saw him walk into your dressing room.

Interesting. We'll have to see how it works out. Sometimes certain players just don't click with certain managers

where is he coming from? Limerick?

[El-Pietro]

Think he was in Galway last year.
Limerick ??-2013
Cork City - 2014
Galway - 2015
now Waterford.

Very talented player but he didn't show it often enough for us in 2014. Surprised to see him drop so low.

Galway

[gustavo]

All these new signings from the UK for us reminds me of the mid 90s when it seems every match a new player was announced. These ranged hugely from the good ( Gilzean, Kelly ) to the not so good (Daniel Moreno)

Will that not be his 3rd club in 2016? Isn't there a rule about that? Only 2 clubs per calendar year?

[Mr A]

Think that resets in July?

[Longfordian]

Unless he was playing non league for someone he's only played for Athlone this year. Left Sligo at the end of last season.
