What's the story with the keepers?
We have Skip, Pat, Younger and Graham, are any of them good enough for the future?

Apart from maybe Hannigan IMO I think the rest are all rubbish and we should get rid of them. It's definitely an area we need to strengthen

how do they all stand with regard to contracts? I believe Younger has recently signed a 2 year contract...:confused:

With regards to Younger, he has not been even getting his game with the 21's, i believe he came on the other night against the wicklow select for the second half. He has not impressed me at all, and with regards to Pat, i think he is worth a shot a first team football, Skip is not on form.

Just going back to this for a minute. We seem to be playing well this season and will possibly end up somewhere close to mid table. Do you think we could have been placed higher if we had a better keeper. I like Skip but is he the future? Pat is quite new and Younger has signed a new contract...are these the future? Personally i think we need a new keeper and get rid of most of what we have...maybe just keep Pat

I agree, i think Skip needs a new challenge and Pat seems determined and up for the first team place. And Younger he seems like a waste of space.

I know i keep coming back to this, but i hope the club are not paying younger and he is paying us. What would we be possibly be paying him, he hasnt played many matches.....

Pat's only 22 or 23. Skippy's only 20. They're still learning. Most good keepers are at their best at 29 or 30.

So would u say that Younger is the best at the moment with him being that bit more experienced and older?

I don't know much about him. I haven't seen him play.

I just think Skippy and Pat should be given more time, Skippy definitely.

Again, I don't know about him. I've only seen Skippy and Pat play this season.
