There was a Cian Byrne who was a keeper with UCD for a while; is it the same guy?
Didn't play more than a couple of games.

Club didn't say what position he is, I hope he's a keeperQuote:

Not putting words in his mouth but that's certainly what I took from his comments anyway, and it's a situation Town fans have said is the most likely reason he's not playing ahead of that clown SkinnerQuote:

You would think we were leaking goals all season with the way you go on about Skinner on here and your podcast. That 'clown' has kept 9 clean sheets in 22 games, so not a bad return.Quote:

Rory Hale has joined Galway United. Big smiley head on him anyway.
Rory Hale Signs
St Patrick's Athletic have signed Polish keeper Lukasz Skowron (26)was previously playing in Portugal with Olhanense although he had also been with Livingston in Scotland as a trialist last June, he replaces O'Malley who has transferred to the glamour of Peterborough
I'd imagine the signing of 2 wingers and a striker (Simon) is his answer to that. Skinner had a good start to the season and I was quick to point that out on here at the time but in the last 2 months or so it's become a comedy show watching him every week trying to kick the ball.Quote:

Absolutely not. Signing of the season so far for us
Absolute disgrace that the phrase '2020 vision' did not appear in the Dundalk announcement. Should have a serious points deduction for that.
A 20-point deduction was see them dragged back into the relegation scrap.Quote:

(C) Cork are better but one season wondersand Caulfield won't be able to handle pressure of being successful
(D) Ad your own excuse
Next season is shaping up to be very interesting already. Cork already showing signs of missing Maguire, so a lot will depend on how they replace him, then there's the "second season syndrome." Dundalk will of course hope to come back strongly, and no doubt Derry and Rovers will hope to improve. All of this against the backdrop of a ten team league, which I'm not a fan of, but it does mean things should be ultra competitive. Even this season you can see that apart from Drogheda no one is getting cut adrift and most teams are capable of getting good results here and there.Quote:

Must be worth taking a chance on even if its only to help the kids on the bench tie their laces and tuck their shirts in :)
Danny Devine leaves Shams on a "mutual termination" The line is that he wants to concentrate on full time education
http://shamrockrovers.ie/2017/08/19/...evine-departs/
Hard luck on him he was recovering from injury when he joined us. Decent honest player.
Shame it didn't work out for Danny but the evidence of this season is that he is not up to League of Ireland level at the moment. Hopefully he continues to play amateur ball and returns to the league at some stage.
Josh Daniels has officially signed for Glenavon now. Hopefully he'll get more game time there than with ourselves.
Looks a good young player best of luck to himQuote:

Anyone prepared to suggest offer their guess or insight!
Out Longford town
Mark Langtry
Gavin Boyne
Cody Mulhall
Was that figure not closer to 30k + extras. Also Connolly to Dundalk was 40k.Quote:

Ardee soccer star Ross Gaynor has returned to the game five months on from leaving NIFL Premiership champions Linfield – signing for North East Football League Premier Division outfit Ardee Celtic.
In a 13 year career, Gaynor has turned out for Millwall, Drogheda United, Cobh Ramblers, Sporting Fingal, Dundalk, Sligo Rovers, Cork City and latterly Linfield north of the border. He helped David Healy’s side to a league and cup double in 2016/17 before ending his 18-month-stay at the Windsor Park outfit at the end of his contract.
Aaron Drinan signed for Waterford from Cork less then three months ago on an 18 month pro deal. Aaron now off to Ipswich https://www.facebook.com/CUAFCadmin/...49598431784656 , 100,000 touted to be the fee.
Might be best to link to the thread on our forum rather than suffer the 100 pages that will follow this post! :DQuote:
