Don't they get over around €150 p/w? That said, it probably cost about €70 to p/w to go back & forth across the city these days.

About €100 p/w I think.

Anyone have any idea when his contract is up? I think he could be gone at that stage and maybe even sooner.

[drummerboy]

Think he is on the 2nd of a 3 year scholarship. But he is loving it

[Student Mullet]

He's an absolute class player.
What strikes me most is how keen he is, he runs after absolutley everything and everyone.

[Poor Student]

We're loving it too. He's got both the skill and the effective football brain. Quite rare for such a young lad. We're effectively adapting the whole formation to maximise his skills, says a lot for him. He has to get into the U-21 squad soon.

[pineapple stu]

Oooh oooh - can I join the love in too?!

I'm loving it three.

[thegit]

yeah and he scored two goals against a midfielder who was playing in goal, how could he be even mentioned in the same sentence as Rooney. He's a good lively player but he's yet to do it week in week out he's in his honey moon period where he's trying to break into the first team. Like i said i don't doubt he's a good player but time will tell.

[Schumi]

He's not the finished article yet, you mean?

[thegit]

yeh i remember the same talk about Dicker who's now warming your bench. and i reckon if you had another desent keeper Quigley would be picking the splinters out to, what happened to Hurley he was amazing for you last year to it looks like the confidence has gone out of the team. Fickle bunch you students ... I do think the managment has alot to answer for at UCD you should be alot higher up the table than you are. I was at the Bohs game in belfield and Mahon was slating the players from the kick off ..... apart from his son of course who happened to be your weakest link. It was funny to watch him loosing it with everyone bar him .

That's true of any team, 'if you had a better keeper you'd have a better keeper'. Quigley's saved 2 penalties in a row and (dispite his bloopers) is a good keeper.

Gary Dicker's not warming the bench, he's played most of our games (I sure one of the lads has the statistics). He didn't play against Derry but the sky has hardly fallen in on him.

[thegit]

Quigley made some real bloopers this year and if there was a half decent replacment he would have got a chance. As a neutral I've been to quiet a few UCD home games and how you can say Dicker Quigley and Hurley are the same players this year as they where last year is a joke. I know the UCD fans sit in the stand but if you actually stand behind the dug out, you would hear the abuse these lads get of Mahon in only there second year in senior football. There young lads learning there game and now there confidence is knocked the team is suffering for it. Thats just my two pence on the subject and next year if the same managment is there i'd say young Finn will go through the same ordeal.

Ah now.

We have Paul Crowley, Stephen Hurley, Podge McWalter, Ronan Finn, Kieran Harte, Gary Dicker, Tony McDonnell, Derek Doyle and Pat Kavanagh all battling for four midfield slots. They're all good players. It's inevitable not everyone's going to get a game. Gary Dicker has played every one of our last 15/20 games, so is hardly "warming the bench" because he didn't play once.

I think you're overreacting slightly here.

[DmanDmythDledge]

I don't know how you can argue that Quigley and Dicker have suffered due to poor management as they have both won U-21 honours while at UCD.

Five midfield slots, I can't remember when we last played 2 strikers.

Limerick first half. And Finn would be more of a striker than a midfielder in the role he plays in.
