Eh two players who we went out and got from England that are good (especially the former) and didn't make it.

Also Kev Grogan, Pat Jennings, Robbie Doyle, Darragh Ryan and Paul O'Mara.

That's the way we're going lately. Don't know why we haven't brough any over this year. Maybe during the break we'll get one or two.

It's extremely strange that we haven't gotten someone this year, I would've thought that conditions would be perfect for us to sign more players than we've signed in the past. Crowds are up (resulting in more income, obviously), the wage bill is smaller (I'd assume that Doyle, Ryan, and Delaney were among the highest earning players we had, also Purdy is gone) and then there's the conditions that most players are under. In today's financial situation (with everybody cutting costs and nobody signing players in England) I would've thought that players would find a College education extremely attractive.

I can only assume that the board haven't made any money available to Doolo which is another reason why I'm becoming increasingly annoyed with the club in general...

Well, we have had a lot of bad luck, in losingn mahon and finn and baker not working out among other things. I still have faith. I dont believe we will keep playing as badly as this because i know the players arent as bad as the results.

Goalkeeper and defence seem solid enough, but from there on, there's not much in the team. Ye looked like ye had come for a 0 - 0 draw last Friday. I've seen the game 4 times on TV now and with the exception of the two chances in the second half, ye basically spent the game hoofing the ball out of defence.
