Might be best to ask somebody at the club incase the whole thing goes tits up and Turner heads of to be with Seanie again in Galway. Players can't be registered until after the 15th of January I believe so Turner still has time to bail out on Sligo which would be a disgrace if he did.Quote:

I think you're being a little harsh on Kenny and not harsh enough on Collins.Quote:

I wonder will Dave Rogers still be on our radar?:confused:
Good appointment by Galway , will never win the league but can't ever see any of his teams getting relegated either , 4th with us , 3rd with Bohs who were in the doldroms the season before and 5th with a new team and a bunch of loopers at Dundalk isn't a bad record ,does talk a lot of ****e though.
How long before he has the Galway public believing the rest of the country, LOI and FAI are out to get them?
I really can't believe there are people still ridiculously stupid enough to hire people like Connor and Shoddy over and over again. Galway fans should be calling on whoever appointed him to resign immediately.
WHo exactly are you referring to...us, the fans or the players and staff he appointed?????Quote:

Thats alright then! Yeah there where a few "head the balls" alright but I must say, there was a group of lads there that really knew how to play football and Im glad I can say I got to see some of them play weeek in week out for a season. Lads like Shaun kelly, Mickey McGowan, Mchael Daly, Chris Turner and Liam Burns.Quote:

We didnt exaclyt get off to the best possible starts lad! We lost our first two games, and couldnt put two results together. It was the middle of the season where we put together a decent run and flew up the table.Quote:

He picked up 7 out of 12 points from Sligo, 1 of those playing versus a Sligo team at Oriel with 3 men sent off with 30 mins to go! But on the other hand he was suspended for our win at the start of the season down in Sligo so Joe Miller gets that credit. Pats beat us 3 out of 4 times last season, we drew the other one nil all!Quote:

I am and I am not if thats clear!! I am however willing to give the chap a chance to prove himself, unlike some who have written him completely off but with the lack of signings atm, him not actually in the country til tomorrow and no app bother to contact or sign any of our better players form last year and making fans hysterical and creating a cause for concern, our only signings to date are a 35 year old virtually unknown Englishman but I have heard of him from watching Gillette Soccer Saturday most weekends and Alan Cawley who Pats fans where happy to see the back off.
One things for sure with Foster, he aint guna ask or spend money he hasnt got, he said it himself compared to Connor who needs a big budget. For example: Connor signed Michael McGinlay and didnt even release a statem,ent to say he was signed, he played in the Celtic friendly last February and was therer til the last game of the season. He gavce hima full time deal and played him 3 times all season as a sub, he barely got into the squad with youths getting in ahead of him and yet he was still kept the whole seaosn on a full time deal I must strive to point out and the chap was a waster, he was hammered every weekend in Dundalk's finest nightclubs and one incident summed it all up, he was found unconscience on top of a bin round the corner form a night club the night before an A side's away match and he was app the captain of that side!! This behaviour was tolerated non stop under a certain person so to sum up, I am happy we have Foster.
PS Sorry for all the spelling mistakes, I write too quick!
Maawahahaha fs Galway scraping the bottom of the barrel now. All together now Sean Connors maroon army :D
Fair points...i think Cawley is a decent player..who is the English lad?
He could do a decent job at Galway i think .
Wayne Hatswell, he was/is(whatever way you wana look at it as he is emploted with them til they find a replacement) Cambridge's player of the seaosn alst year and captain. He is our new number two/coach/centre half.Quote:

One things for sure, with reported Galway lads connected with joining us, this will prob change their minds and keep them at Galway for another seaosn.
or could have them running to Dundalk quicker!!..time will tell roll on March 5th!
It has to be down now as Dundalk v Galway opening weekend!Quote:

Agree with Dillonman, Utd v Dundalk has got to be a certainty for opening weekend of the season.
With Connor in charge, will be an interesting season, now 2 people at the club whose word I would take witha pinch of salt, but would be confident of avoiding relegation with RPS at the helm
i'm quite the wordsmith i just cant spell said words correctly from time to time.. :rolleyes:and i'm in art college not much spelling exams go on there and i think i got a 'B' in english back in the day.....:cool: now enough of this sillines.. back to the matters at hand... :) an no i dont realy like nor dislike the ma.. he certianly makes things more intresting and is a decent manager result wise.. will do a decent job i'm sureQuote:
