Athlone part company with duo
Athlone Town manager John Gill has terminated the contracts of defender Andy Noonan and midfielder Gavin Doyle on disciplinary grounds – although the nature of the pair’s misdemeanour remains unconfirmed.
Former Dundalk man Noonan and ex-Monaghan winger Doyle will not feature for the midlanders again under Gill’s tenure.

The U-21 matches, as anyone who follows this league will tell you, are fairly frequently called off. You have to wonder if it is advisable for a club at the bottom of division one to terminate contracts for refusing to play in this league. I think it is OTT unless there are other factors that haven't come to light. Gavin is a good player and we don't have better ones lined up. Not a good step in my opinion.
In which match was that.Quote:
Gavin is a good player
Good riddance to both of them.. We cant get any worse with whoever replaces them.
Shows we have a manager that will take no sh*t from anyone. No superstars in John Gills eyes
Galway United have just signed Stephen Gavin from ye. Could anyone give me some details about the lad?
thanks
I see Ossie Skelly is heading to Dundalk
Think that Skelly will follow John Gill wherever he goes. So possibly new team the season after next as I don't feel that John Gill has the heart for things when they don't flow well for him over a sustained period of time and this division is going to be very hard get out of next season

Best of luck to him, but not against us ;)
from his time with us stevie gavin was a class winger!
the time the section o crew played the ucd crew at half time he even reffed our match at half time interval/1
mans a legend in my eyes!
In Athlone TOWN FANS eyes as well. A huge loss for us but he deserves a shot at premier football and will get it sooner at Galway I feel and as Ash has already saidQuote:
