Hi guys , first post on he website...Im a fan of Irish football and have heard through a quite reliable source that UCD are currently in the proccess of trying to sign "Irish international" Joe Lapira..from waht ive heard he is interested in continuing his education after completing his studies in the USA and UCD have offered him some form of Scholarship...make what you will of this , just thought id pass on this rumour anyway!
I actually don't know whether I'd be very surprised or not.
I'd consider it doubtful - though you wouldn't be the first random punter to come on with a first post which is acually inside knowledge - but then again, at the time, there was a lot of comment that his standard was really not much better than UCD.
Is he a right wing? Not going to get in ahead of Conan anyways.
Your entire foot.ie reputation now hinges on whether we sign him or not! :p
He's a striker. I very much doubt he's up to eL standard but it would be no harm giving him a trial to see what he's like, if the story is true.
True AFAIK but for the U21'sQuote:

not happening unless he appplied for a scholarship under an alias!
As Far As I KnowQuote:

Yes. He could play for us if he signed for us. Well spotted.
