Pre season rumours

[DmanDmythDledge]

They're just the new ones. Wouldn't other lads be 2nd or 3rd year scholarships?

No, that's everyone. For example look at last year's list (scroll to very bottom).

[colmanthesaint]

so Pete Mahon is definitely staying then I guess?

Any news on Bermo?

Don't think he'd be averse to a move, but until we hear otherwise, he's staying. He's been offered a new contract anyway.

Bermo was talking to Fingal, I think.

[Poor Student]

I think Pete confirmed in the media that he'd be staying.

[pineapple stu]

Yay!

[Martinho II]

No he isn't. I'd imagine he would re-sign though. Scholarship players are:

Soccer: Evan Connolly (Mayo), John Dineen (Kerry), Gavin Falconer (Waterford), Gareth Matthews (Dublin), Peter McMahon (Monaghan) and Graham Rusk (Dublin).

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.

[pineapple stu]

He was at Pat's before, I think. Very briefly. Was he manager when they drew 0-0 with Celtic?

Darren Quigley to Fingal on loan, apparently! They'll walk the division next year. In fact, I think they'll go boom towards the end and still have enough points to have won it.

Mahon was assistant to Dolan for those games. He was expected to take over after them, but had a falling out with Dolan and walked/got kicked out. Never actually managed us

Let's hope Buckley is as good at managing a talented squad and massive budget as Johnny McDonnell.

Well last time he tried that he won the league...
