David Cassidy (ex rovers, now Dundalk) is an obvious miss from this squad, he has been in superb form for us, and has 3 goals in 5 of the 8 games he`s played, not bad for a small midfielder
Class act, surprised he didnt make the cut
If he didn't make the cut at Premier level, why you surprised?Quote:

I think Cassidy leaving Rovers was a pure commercial decision by Scully to pay for Bakers wages. Thats what I read earlier in the year.

"NI U23 0-0 Rep of Ireland U23
NI's Albert Watson heads the ball away from Mark Quigley
A stoppage-time goal by Stephen Rice gave the Republic of Ireland victory in Tuesday's Challenge Trophy match at Mourneview Park.
Rice netted a diving header following sa cross from Killian Brennan to leave the Pat Fenlon's Republic top of their group with six points.
In the first half Peter Thompson hit an upright with a shot for NI.
His Linfield team-mate Thomas Stewart had a shot cleared off the line after rounding Republic keeper Barry Murphy. "
According to RTE the match was delayed for half an hour because both teams wanted to wear white socks. FFS what a joke, glad I didn`t go up to it
