Here's a thread on here from 2003 suggesting him as one of the LoI's best young players. Most of the posters in the thread haven't lasted as long!
Cretaro signs for Harps and Ciaran Gallagher back aswell.
He did have stints at Bohs and Galway as well.Quote:

Such a clever player. He also had an unbelievable burst of pace and leap that made him one of the best players the league has seen on his day imo.
Only for him Id say we would have been relegated in the last two seasons as he put in some wonderful performances and scored some critical goals.
Best of luck to him at Harps. You can be sure he will be a great addition.
If the original poster on the thread was, as I think he was, the same person that later posted here as Sonic he sadly passed away at a young age himself.Quote:

To see Simon Kelly and Chris Lawless named as potential stars is mad. Kelly is worthy of being called a legend in our 1st division sides and a bit beyond. Lawless turned out to be a waste of talent.
Where is the master of arrogance Dodge these days?
they're saying "she loves Dundalk" I've had to explain to my young unQuote:

He had no problem going on twitter with an empty 'thank you' to the club but showed no respect to the club or manager in the last week.Quote:

That is a ridiculous post, Id like for you to recall that NNNN. Nowhere did I mention his problems, the club are more than good to all players not just those with documented issues. His lack of respect for the club recently and the crap at the end of last season was ridiculous.Quote:

The bio on his a/c used to read something like "LOI Twitter personality who loves American sport":rolleyes: 71k+ posts there atm.
Attention seeking whore imo.
He is doing something right if we are passing comment! lol That damn away section, causing arguments and looks like the set from a post-apocalyptic war movie. Nah Dodge is a knowledgeable football fan, he wasnt just shy about knowing better than everyone else on everything. David McMillan going to flop at Dundalk was one of the last nuggets here.Quote:

Would a move for McMillan have Rovers fans happy?
*https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/46581446
I doubt rovers "overlooked" drennans availability they either have a better alternative lined up or don't want to go there. Having said that pats are looking strong for next year. It's going to be a competitive year next year
As much as I'd love to see Drennan playing for us again it's probably a bit too soon for him.Quote:

I guess dfc overlooked watts and mceneff ...grow up
Bray Wanderers sign Gabriel Sava.
You can roar 'troll' as often as you wish, but it still remains that Rovers not signing Drennan or any other player is a not automatically some master stroke of player judgement as you infer - the signing of Gilchirst is only one of many examples of this ineptitude.Quote:

Bray announcing the Sava signing in Romanian is lovely stuff. As is the frankly appalling grammar of all their announcements in English.
Probably a welcome return to more innocently embarrassing GLITW stuff from them.
Would you ever do every single person on here a favour and shut the f**k up about Rovers and Bradley. You're just constantly talking a load of ****e and annoying everyone here with your nonsensical ravings.Quote:

Gary Cronin is doing a blinder for Bray! how are they affording this?Quote:

Miss out this year and it potentially gets harder
Still alot of transfer business for all FD clubs to resolve itself, I'm not convinced Shels should be favourites with a completely inexperienced manager. Conan Byrne and Ryan Brennan are very good signings but outside of them nothing that should have other FD teams worrying about them. Bray and Limerick are already assembling players stronger than I would have thought, Drogheda and Longford are looking ok and both should be challenging. If Shels can add a striker to hit 20 goals then maybe they will be considered favouritesQuote:

Strange goings on at the underage there apparantly joeys are not allowing their under 12's represent bray in the under 13 national leagues next year..is that just a rumour or what? Any bray or joeys people know about it?Quote:
