He hates Paddy Power.
He hates Ladbrokes too. (and Boyles!)
He hates all gambling
But Gillespie we love youuuuuu.
We won a few trophies in 2003 and 2004 and were generally in the top 5 teams in the country for a few years. It was quite a rise compared to Athlone's performance for that period ;) (even if we have fallen somewhat since!)
UCD lads seem to think Gillespie will make his debut on Monday night I'm not so sure
That is why they're called UCD lads.
I bumped into Alvin last night and said "so what about Keith Gillespie?" and he replied "I'm a bigger name than him!" :D Alvin.....legend.
Tony Cousins gives his thoughts on the signing here. Sounds like he was fully in favour of the decision to bring him in which is important.

Another good piece on the signing from Saturday's Irish Times by the way

Cousins said in mirror friday he would play tonight and be in Limerick squad but it says on our site he will be unveiled v Athlone, I expect we will see him Saturday night and not this evening.
its possibly a case cousins wanted him playing as early as possible and expected as much but then maybe the people behind the scenes thought its better to hold off for a week, build it up and have him play the day of the press conference thing v athlone to bring in a good crowd.
I dont expect to see him tonight like Acornvilla said big press conference on thur. and big unveiling on Saturday.....we may as well milk it when we can
Here's the When Saturday Comes article as previously mentioned.

I have never heard of that word before.
I'd never heard of it before either. Who says you learn nothing on here?
Haven't read it in years but it does come across that way.

Few bohs fans saying Gillespie was ineffective playing against them last year, they must have been in the bar for this! Hopefully we see plenty of this
In fairness, that was a mint cross.
If he can stick a few like that in front of Cowan or Skelly then he'll be a good asset.

some good photos of the big day in flansiro today!
Looks like there were a few out. The Times sent over a reporter from Newcastle and I see TV3 were down. Must keep an eye out for pieces in the papers in the next couple of days. Great publicity, Gillespie was on RTE radio today too.
pity rte didnt send a tv crew down. I believe shannonside have a interview with gillespie which will be on between five and six this saturday. there will plenty in the papers tomorrow. good piece on tv3 at 5.30 today
Just watched that TV3 piece on their site

Good interview with him on Sport at 7 with Con Murphy you can listen to it on itunes as a podcast.

great piece in the independent and the london times today on keith gillespie.. fair play.. what did everyone that read it thought of it?
Well, they're great articles about Keith Gillespie. They're not really about Longford Town however.
im a tad disappointed that the midlands derby wasnt on telly I was under the impression that it was featurin consider KG was playin??
was it mentioned on mns even? I stopped watching after about 30 mins
just a small mention in the results roundup that was all.. someone else in the supporters club I was talkin to last night heard the same thing as me and was very disappointed.. btw that clip of glentoran v bohs how long ago was that? that was a superb cross from gillespie..
Last season, 2010
Articles still been printed on KG he got another 2 pages to himself in the Sun yesterday great stuff
