Where's you hear that? (And don't say bebo!!!) Would believe it alright - he only left us to try full-time football, so if that hasn't worked, he could well come back to us and he'd be a good replacement for Kav.
No other solid stories, although I would imagine we'd be having a close look at the best players from Shels' youth set up.
Bebo.:pQuote:

Unfortunately a lot of good available players have been snapped up already. By the time the bigger vultures have picked the meat off Shels' decaying carcus there'll probably be nothing left for us except the youth players as Stu suggests.
Poor Student... with Shels going part time,some of their Under 21's might prefer education to pure part-time football. It'll be great to have Patrick Sullivan to fill in while Podge recovers from knee surgery.
We'd hardly have managed their wage demands anyway and there'll be less demand for other available players if there are loads of Shels players on the market.Quote:

To be honest I'm not sure what's going on. Do we know at this stage if the likes of Alan McNally, Crowley, Keith Doyle have renewed their contracts?
Given that a few of our rivals seem to be disintegrating and other haven't made too many leaps and bounds I'd actually be reasonably optimistic about next season if we can hold onto everyone but the ones already touted for departure.
I still think of Harte as a reserve, and Podge as a forward!Quote:

Isn't he Noel King's son?
Brian is Noel King's son, I know him personally since he was around 8 , and he is a good player. He also is beginning his coaching career and while he was in School coached Stella Maris's Women's team. So it looks like being a coach runs in the family. Might eventually be an EL Coach at some stage.
When he gave that up to concentrate on his leaving the team went to pot! Great to have him on board.
What age is he and what's the source of his signing?
Any updates on Sully's resigning?
Wait - does this mean Noel himself will be coming to games again? :eek:
Maybe the disco ties should make a reappearance?
The disco tie has been upgraded and is now actually a tie, not a piece of cut up bedsheet.Quote:

Noel King born in 1986? :D
I assume you mean Brian?

I ask again, what's the source of Brian King's signing? From what I can see he's a Shels player?:confused:
