I was told it was higher than that (well the person that told me named an overall figure that meant over 300 points off the field) but I haven't seen the actual results so I can't say for sureQuote:

Short memories you country lad's ..!!
Big struggle next year to be fair..all down to that Muppet and his poilicies..!!
By the way I play LSL Senior football and know quite a few of Matthew's victims extremely well..
Who, Barry?Quote:

Digger walked - only surprise was that it was to another team, not retirement as was thought. I do like Digger - nothing but a gent when I've had dealings with him, and a great town player - that however, doesn't disguise the fact that Bohs fans considered him a weak link in a weak team.

Arguing on here is a waste of energy. That some of his ex players don't like him isn't terribly surprising to bew honest. He was "apprenticed" to Keely ffs!! Plenty of players have come to the club because of him as I'm sure some have left due to him as you say. He certainly has his good and bad points but his record holds up pretty well.
Hi Lads, I am just wondering do ye know how Ian Wexler and Eoin Lynch are getting on, they came over from America (Providence), They got very little time with Longford this year
Wexler played in the last game of the season against St Pats and put in a good performance that day.
Line-up is going to look so much different next year. Who would be the likely 11 as it stands? Is Michael Dempsey out of contract too?
Yea I played with them in America, Two good forwards Eoin Lynch was the better of the two,Wexler works hard,hope they get more of a chance next yearQuote:

Fair to say that they are that bad. No money, no one interested in signing...Time will tell as they sayQuote:

and eleven-a-side.com finally update that Paul Keegan pic. with Kevin Doherty. Fair play lads. any danger of him moving on though?
www.athlonetownfc.com
confirmed as gone davy byrne -fantastic six gone none in who next
according to the mirror shels are in a big board meeting and apparently could appoint alan matthews as manager tonight.
in the irish daily mail today town are 25000 euros in debt in wages for squad and manager. that is some debt the club has confirmed acc to the paper that capital has being secured to sort out the problem
the players were in contact with the pfai on this the club promised to sort this out but nothing wasx forthcuming.
the situations getting worse im afraid i heard from a trustworthy source that matthews is after five players in poland at the mo and is over there now. a good friend wont come back if thats the case as he reckons it is cheap labour.
what do you think on this
Wouldnt be at alll surprised if he jumped ship. With all the rejections from managers like Roddy and even Keeley, they're only left with Bobby Browne and Mathews. Reckon he'll take it. :(Quote:

Well, we should be getting some cash from the Dillon sale..
Mathews is in Dublin, he's nowhere near Poland. I didn't hear anything about any Poles lately. As for cheap labour, they'd be part time, free to earn as much as they like outside football.Plus I'm sure their wages would exceed minimum wage anyway. You wouldn't be kidnapping them ffs. But I think it's unlikely we'll have any anyway. The money was owed to players, it's from pre-season which was deferred by agreement this time last year.Some bonuses for this year too. Should've been paid but I think everyone knew already we're a bit stuck for cash. A good chunk of it was paid today anyway so that wouldn't concern me too much as there's still a bit of sponsorship money outstanding. Shels owe us 3k already plus 15% of whatever they got for Dillon also
any idea how much? thats some positive news. And at least we'll have a few local regulars next year too. Another positive. Any news on Mathews yet?Quote:
