He wasn't the worst of last years squad. I'd say he would be ok in the first division.Quote:

Anthony O Donnell from us? Permanent or loan?
Injuries were his only problem really. Great player when fit. Made the club a good bit of money when we sold him to Drogs too.Quote:

Finally the saga of the summer has come to a dramatic end ;)
Haha Surprised Sky Sports News don't have it on it
So ye paid Salthill the compensation we wouldn't and Denis Behan is being linked too but we have more money? Great signing for Athlone but will he get a look in with Gorman and Coughlan?Quote:

And Curran himself said he is taking less money to sign for us because he likes the plan Roddy has for Athlone. Doesn't really matter anyways
I'm heartbroken, what will we talk about now?Quote:

Different Shane Barrett that played with Longford lads, not the striker Barrett this guy is a midfield spoiler who played with rams before and had a short spell in Waterford with Hendo also.
