Pre season rumours

[DRDoc]

any word, or rumour even, on where Fitzgerald and Bolger will be next season?

[pineapple stu]

Nope. FItz was talking about going back to Bohs. Obviously he wouldn't get in their team last year, but this year, you never know!

Will Bolger not be with us still?

McFaul is gone to Fingal per RTÉ. Training back this evening.

Presumably he won't apply for the Pats job at this stage but I'd imagine he would be well done the preferred list of candidates anyway.

Apparently he has applied, and will probably get the job...

[pineapple stu]

Hmmm...

Do we get to keep Martin Russell?

Dunno, rumour very fresh off the grapevine

That's not a rumour Danny, that's the reality as of 4pm today

********.

Martin Russell comes in, we move on. We have a structure in place to deal with it. Kind of like the Boot Room at Anfield, in a pompous, compare-us-to-the-Premiership-cos-it's-cool kind of way.

UCD soccer club and Pete Mahon announced today that they have parted company by mutual agreement.

Club Secretary Dick Shakespere said, "Pete has made an enormous contribution to the development and stability of this club over the last five years or so. We were unable to agree with Pete's plans for this season and regrettably we agreed to part company. We thank him for his contribution and we are very sorry that he will no longer be with us. We also respect Pete's decision and will continue to have an excellent relationship with him."

Pete Mahon said, "I am disappointed to leave UCD. It is a club with great foundations and I am happy to have played my role in the development of young players at the club. I wish them every success for the future."

Martin Russell has been appointed as caretaker manager for the immediate term.
There will be no further comment.

Is that confirmed or speculation?

EDIT: Soccerc answers that one.

Just wondering how Adrian Murphy performed for you's a couple of years back, ye signed him from Athlone. He played with Longford the previous year and banged in 25 goals for the u-21's. Mathews never gave him a look in only 2 games 1 goal with the seniors. Appparently he was on trial at the weekend. Think he packed it in after a year with ye, wasted talent in a lot of Town supporters eyes.

He never got much of a look in with us either as far as I remember.
