Yeah he arrived with Myler and O'Connor in 2005 I think. It seems so long ago. Was it one season or two he had with us the first time? I can't recall. This will be his third season back?Quote:

We got €5k for Crawley according to The Daily Star today. Better than nothing, he wasn't with us very long really.
Thats great!
I'm sure Pats got a few quid too. Was there for 3/4 years
Do you still get training compensation if you release the player rather than him leaving at the end of a contract? I did look at the regulations recently but I can't remember the specifics.
I'd only be guessing, but I think that even if Pats waived any claim on him so he could sign for Longford, they'd still be entitled to money if he moved on.
Good question. Not sure if pats get anything in that case.Quote:

I'll be very surprised if we are even near the top come the end of the season.
I'd imagine this is TC's last shot at getting us up and I think he'd agree with that himself. To be honest I'll reserve judgment until the real stuff starts and we get a look at how the squad is performing. Lower expectations may be no harm. Wouldn't mind seeing one or two more brought in to strengthen us a bit though.
I might go as far to say that he won't last the season.
He deserves this chance, but this should be the last chance.
The brand of football isn't the best, we are probably going in slightly the wrong direction.
I thought Hyland had joined Cliftonville or someone in the IL?
Cancelled his contract with Crusaders seemingly
I know we all like to moan about the style of football but if we get up and stay up then after a few years we can moan but for now getting up is all that matters. I really hope we can do it coz im physically sick of this division! Hyland going to Waterford is a disaster, TC will regret letting him go the way he did yet.
there was a good piece in the sun on him today. the commutin from naas to belfast didnt work out and crusaders allowed him to cancel his agreement. That is a big boost to Waterford so I am not as optimistic as earlier but I will hold court for now.Quote:
