Crowe only got his 100th a few months back I think.
Byrne is around 120 as far as I know
Div 1 games should not count :)
Aye, he's enjoying himself this season! :p
12 goals for the team on bottom, i would say he is doing quite well Badboy
His lack of ambition in refusing to move to a bigger club is either telling or admirable..........Big fish, small pond.
It is called loyalty. If he goes after this season though, I don't think anyone connected with Harps would give him grief about it.Quote:

True Harps legend.
As much as it has annoyed me in the past when he turned us down, I'd love to see him playing for Derry next year...................can't see it though.
Congratulations Kevin!!
Loyalty my arse, I can see Mr Mc Who heading south to Sligo next year when Harps are sent back to rot in the 1st.
He's a pathetic little twirp who has failed in the premier TWICE. Harp's and Mc Who - both ambitionless SMALL entities who aren't going anywhere.
How is scoring 12 goals in a team as poor as our's seen as a failure:confused:
Your a sad,bitter little man:rolleyes:
From what I hear he'll be doing his greyhound celebrations regularly at the Brandywell next year. ;)
Heard that too. Isn't one of his shops in Derry or is he going to open one there - something like that?Quote:

Fair play to the fella .... he seemed to bleed Harps in a few of the interviews over the season !!
That he does, as do several of Harps first teamers, some of whom were part of the singing gang on the terraces only a couple of years ago.Quote:

Great to hear - one of theings i really envy cork for - being successful with mostly locals.Quote:

Congrats to him. Quality player, with him in the side Harps can always be threatening, 1 goal is never enough. Top player.
Is he out of contract on will Derry have to pay a fee? Can't see it being cheap as the guy seems to score for fun in a poor team speaks volumes. Well done that man.
And who might that be?Quote:

If Cosmo is referring to Killian Brennan then it has been said before and he hasn't moved. There seems to be an amazing team spirit at the minute and can't see him or anyone leaving pre-season.
I know ... having one Cork man is like having three others !! Its the job !! ;) :cool: :ball:Quote:

Actually if it were to happen, ye should do well in Europe !!Quote:

Alfie Hale could be a shoe-in there aswell i'd say !!
Great to see/have that list Sheridan.Quote:
