Burns, Turner and Collins too. Although mainly Dundalk fans nominating them but they're still picking them ahead of O'Callaghan.

I see Graham Carey scored on his friendly debut for Bohs. He's rated highly at international underage level but probably loaned out from Celtic because of the amount of wingers there.

interestin that the other posts for us to do well are the sligo fans...;)

And he was sh*te against us the other week - playing on the right too!!

Collins looked overweight and past it last week too

Turner on the other hand for them looks a quality signing!!

Reckon bohs will win it - but reckon if cork finish the season without getting into anymore financial trouble, they could be in with a shout!

As for us, I reckon with a bit of luck, we can realistically aim for midtable and a nice cup run (though would obviously just be happy staying up and that is our number 1 aim - will be a successful season for us just stayin up). It will all depend on if we can find someone to put the ball in the net for us - otherwsie we'll probably just draw alot of matches!!

No he didn't. He was up front when he came on as a direct swap for Mansaram. Michael McKerr was on the right.
