Roche hasn't gone yet according to the Press Conference today that unveiled Pat Scully. Rovers are still in negotiations with him.
And we've signed Aidan Price (new club captain) from Kilkenny and Dave Cassidy, Robbie Clarke, Ray Kenny from Kildare (I think, my knowledge of the 1st Division is not what it could be....yet)
More importantly player of the year Barry Murphy has re-signed as have Woodies and Umbro. ;)

Some decent signings by Scully there, especially Price and Kenny. Price would have had no shortage of suitors in the Premier.
Robbie Clarke is a City reject formerly of Pat's, Dundalk and Kildare, but competent enough at Shams' level.
It said in the star today that freeman has signed for dublin city (he was only on loan last season)

How much did you enjoy typing that?
BTW I've only just noticed your sig. No problem signing up businesses for next season as you'll see on all the news bulletins this evening.

Aye, so I see. Sig's just a gentle reminder of the critical distance required of club owners. Loose lips sink ships.
I was being facetious about Robbie, he's as good a left-full as you'll find in the First Division, although that really isn't saying much. Fast and athletic, but limited technically. Kenny and Price will form the best centre-half pairing in the division.

Touché, you could pass that advice on to Mr. Seery while your at it.
As today's press conference proves (and the last 4 months as a whole) our club is in great hands and Rovers is being run correctly for the first time in my lifetime.

Rocky's fully cognisant of the fact, and actually quite restrained given the amount of grief he gets, although he does lose it sometimes. However, I can tell you by his own admission that, however impelling the visceral temptation to lash out in any given direction, it never pays (particularly where match officials are involved. Ooh, the thought of Rovers being subject to the tender mercies of Derek Tomney and Tony Kelly next year just filled me with a warm glow.)
PS: NY Hoop, haven't you been slapped with a restraining order or something yet? Since I'm in a conciliatory Christmas mood, I made this (http://img395.imageshack.us/my.php?image=roverscard6ja.jpg) just for you.

Restraining order??????
"Filth"? Mmmm. It's an honour to take abuse from a nothing club. Think you're location sums up your club alright.

13/12/2005, 3:01 PM
You seem to be verbose, why don't you take a leaf out of your own book and proof read Rocky's guest book postings for him?
I tend to grant Rocky a certain latitude because, in an inversion of established procedure at other Dublin clubs, he spends more time actually plotting world domination than boasting about it on the internet.
Restraining order??????
Yeah, I think your obsession with all things DC is bordering on the indecent at this stage.
Anyway, as much as I'd like to exchange epigrams with humourless boors all evening, I think it's time to restore to this thread its original purpose. As far as I'm aware, Freeman was seeing out his contract at Drogheda and never had intention of returning thence, ditto with Pender and Shels. Failure to retain Lynch is just mystifying.

Your club shouldn't be in the league. That is not obsession. And kid if you think I'm a humourless boor you definitely do not know your chairman.

cant believe the bull on this thread about damo lynch. he should have been drogs player of the year this year by a mile. half the people at the awards nearly fell off their chairs when he didnt get it.
scored 6 goals this season from right back (fabio scored 9)
he also saved our asses in about 4 other games we would have lost without him.
why are shels fans talking about doolin and full backs?? we have two of the best in the league. our defence is mean and we scored so few goals that the defence had to win games for us.
anyone with an ounce of football in their brain can see that lynch is a class act and a true pro (ask the cork fans he clapped in lansdown road) and the fans he gives his time to always.he will be drogs captain next season
can wait to see him lifting trophies for us

I'd tend to agree with those who pointed out his time at Bohs - I saw him a few times there (once or twice live and a couple of times on eL weekly) and he was very poor. Always had the feeling he was going to gift the opposition an attack. Maybe he's come on since then, but the criticism while at Bohs seemed justified, in my opinion.

In fairness he was utter pants at Bohs. Never liked playing in front of us, seemed to crap himself every time. I was amazed that Drogheda signed him but he's obviously done well.

He is sorely missed at Bohs
Agreed he did give us a few heart attacks but the pro's far out weighed the cons, I personally will never forget the saving tackle he made against Rosenborg in the CL when the striker was clean through and lynch got back to make a wonderfully timed tackle. he did many similar things for us over the years

Have to disagree with you there. He was rubbish. One of the many overpaid wasters at the club in the last few years.

If he wouldnt play for you thats your tough sh!t - great to see him playing brilliant for the drogs - one of our best players this season

Have to agree with Carlin. Lynch was rubbish for us, always out of position, couldn't kick the ball in a straight line and a head like a land-mine. I was glad to see the back of him.
Maybe he has improved at Drogs who am I to judge. But somebody says he scored six goals from full back, that is impressive though I take it that they were all penalties. Contrast with his last season for us where he gave away six penalties.
Looks like I was misinformed too about Fabio:rolleyes: as well. When I heard he was signing for Bohs I thought... please, not another Tony "No Goals" Grant. But then during the week I came around to being favour of him signing only to hear he was staying at the Drogs. C'est la vie.

Methinks you and me have the same usually reliable Source
I saw lynch in midfield with bohs a few times and he played brilliantly - was dodgy enough at right back any time i saw him (thats why i was hoping he was signed for us as a midfielder :o ).
Thank f**k he wasn't though cos hes been superb at right back for us!!!
Wheres block G? Didnt he say fabio was definitely going to bohs too :D - EDIT: just saw his above crawling post :D

Don't see why we'd sign him when we already have 2 of the best in the league

16/12/2005, 10:05 AM
As far as I know Forde has already had discussions with Shelbourne prior to the end of the season so Fenlon is obviously interested. I doubt Williams will be with you next season anyway - he'd hardly want another year of sitting on the bench when he returns from injury. Maybe he might want to join us?

DUBLIN CITY FC have completed the signing of Drogheda United goalkeeper Gary Rogers.
The Drogheda native was formerly on the books of Shelbourne and St Francis and Vikings manager Dermot Keely was delighted with his new capture.
"Gary's a first class goalkeeper. We know his strengths and he'll be a big asset to us. He's young but he's plenty of experience but he's a very safe pair of hands and I know he'll be a big favourite with the fans," said Keely.
Gary has been a previous Supporters Player of the Year for the Drogs and was also called into the Ireland under 21 squad in 2004 by Don Givens. He appearances last season were limited only by the excellent from of Dan Connor but Keely's legendary powers of persuasion have convinced the 24-year-old that his future lies with the capital's newest Premier Division side.
Great signing for us here I think. Rumour has it we may begin to look abroad for our final few signings due to the small pool of remaining players...

Dunno if it was O'Dowd but I sorta got the impression that most Drogs fans wanted Rogers in over Dan Connor:confused:
