Well, he appears to be from the 'North' but now lives in Letterkenny according to this piece: http://ulsterherald.com/2015/03/03/c...ai-elite-list/
Never a dull moment to say the least..................
Greatest League In the World
I don't think we can argue too much about the standard of football in general but you'll rarely leave a LOI match without a bucket load of talking points. Never a dull moment. How could you not love this league?
Does he only do our games? Last night was the 4th time we've had him.Quote:

Such a shame it didn't work out for him during his time with us. I was very excited when we signed him, but it's good to see him doing well againQuote:

Hard to decide which of Derry or Sligo most deserve to be relegated.
We had a lot of kids playing on Friday night. Apart from Puri and Cawley don't think any of our team would have gotten anywhere near your squad. That's where a lot of the problem is.Quote:

It was a good debut by Ian Morris out of position & his first game in a year he looks decent , good on ball & cool.The other big plus was another great performance from Jamie McGrath a rising star in the league & the chap just oozes class he is clearly going places , we will be lucky to hang onto him for another year.
An 18 year old, a 19 year old and the rest were all over 23. Average age of your starting team was 24.9. Just sayin'.Quote:
