Longford raid Gillingham for reinforcements

Martin Lawlor has called in Gillingham players Richard Rose and Daniel Spiller to boost his struggling side. Hammered 6-1 by Shamrock Rovers in the League Cup on Wednesday, Longford were forced to field almost an entire second string 11 because of a crippling injury list.

And the manner of the defeat left Lawlor with no option but to call for on-loan reinforcements from England who will stay until the end of the campaign. "But both on-loan players have been knocking on the door of first-team football at Gillingham. They're looking for experience and they're attitude impressed me. That's the sort of attitude that we need right now."

english imports don't have a great history, particularly when it's a struggling club nearing the end of the season. hope this works out for ye though.

Nowt to lose really at this stage - down to the bare bones of the squad as it is (and ye still couldn't beat us in the flansiro :D )

Have any English lads played for the Town in recent years? I hope they do well for us, I think so, they've something to prove and they'll want to make a name for themselves.

The two lads in question got a great review on one of the Gillingham web sites, especially the full back. They say he's a division 1 standard player in the next year.

how'd they do tonight so?

duh Eanna not very if da town got thumped 5-1 by rovers

sorry, just got the result AFTER i posted that. some of us have to work on saturday nights!

The self same full-back was the best player we had.
Head and sholders, i say head and sholders Ashley lad.

i bet he's still no greg o'halloran!

more importantly - what do they make of Blazers? :D

If they've been doing stuie byrne's they mightn't remmber what Blazers was like. I remember it had lights and a bar, and I think there was music- am i forgetting anything? :D

The girl you were molesting in the corner......Or maybe you'd rather forget that! :p
